Eric: Well... here goes...


Himemiya: Ooo! You rubbed the lamp?! What'll come out? The suspense is killing me!


Eric: New outfit?
Himemiya: You like?
Eric: You look nice in red.


Himemiya: Thanks. What's that? Chocolate?
Eric: It's a horror movie called 'Wishmaster'. It's about Djinn. Lots of humans die. It made me think of you.


Himemiya: Really? Put it in! Put it in!


Wishmaster: Make your wishezzzz.....


Eric: So if you grant someone three wishes, do you get to take over the world?
Himemiya: Shh! I'm watching!


Wishmaster: Do you have any idea how frustrating it is to have unlimited power, and only be able to use it when some worm asks you for something?
Himemiya: I do! I do!


Wishmaster: So, how do you like me so far?
Himemiya: .....


Himemiya:...he's so HOT!


Eric: Uh... the guy with the tentacles?
Himemiya: ...oooh, the way he twists those wishes! I usually just give people what they want, literally, but he is so creative! That's dedication! I must have him!
Eric: We're talking about the guy with the tentacles, right?
Himemiya: YES!


Eric: He's just an actor. Anyway, you don't look anything like that! Or is that how male djinn look?

Himemiya: We can look however we want. Humans can't see us in our natural state. Some go for intimidating; I prefer to appear as a standard of beauty unattainable by humans. A good scare is nice, but lowered self esteem and envy cause a lifetime of despair.
Eric: Well he is human. He's just pretending! With some makeup and special effects.

Himemiya: Why do you care?
Eric: I... don't. Not at all.

 

 


Elsewhere:Beressa: You can come out now!

Nightshade: Hmph! Why'd you have to go shrink me?
Beressa: I already aplogized about that. If I didn't, Belladonna would have still come in, she would have known I changed my mind, and she'd be after the both of us.

Nightshade: It's embarassing! Me, a world class supervillian shrunken down to 1/3 size!
Beressa: It's only temporary. Is my shirt warm enough? I'll find you some mini-clothes...

Nightshade: I'd better not stay this big long enough to need a wardrobe.
Beressa: Look, the plan was complicated, all right? I have to get the grow-ray away from the other minis, and I'll never be able to do that if they suspect anything. You'll just have to hide until I do.



Commentary:
What, you thought I killed off Nightshade? When I kill a character off, you'll know it. It will be graphic, and there will be no room for 'maybe ____ survived'. Besides, Ash would never let Nightshade be killed until she knows for sure if killing Nightshade would kill Valentine. After that, maybe.

If you get the chance, watch Wishmaster. Your standard B horror movie, but a little more creative than your usual unnatural serial killer type in that the Djinn doesn't give anyone anything they don't ask for. It's really quite amusing. I saw it years ago, and then recently picked it up because it made me think of Himemiya. It's not really scary, there's a whole lot of dark tongue-in-cheek humor, and the actor who plays the Djinn does an excellent job at giving your standard movie villain life. Besides, there'll be a lot more references to it in the future. It's really cheap, if you don't have netflix.
