She watched this with an inquisitive expression, wondering what was to come of this. "I suppose now's my cue to mention I prefer older men?"

"Than you two are much too perfect for each other. He's not really six."
The voice came from the stairs, where a groggy, red-haired man stood with a cup of water. Albee panicked.
"Doctor! I mean, aherm. Howard. I can explain--"
Before anything could be explained, Howard sped towards him, taking the glass of water and smashing it over his head. Albee instantly collapsed, falling on the ground.
-----
"And that, ladies and gentleman, is why I instructed you all NOT to give him anything but apple juice. And of all the other drinks you could've given him, you gave him soda."
Howard face-palmed, letting his hand slide down and massage his face. He turned to Charlotte, shrugging.
"Sorry if I interrupted your date, ma'am. He should be returning to his original age any second now."
Sure enough, Albee's body shrank back to its normal size, leaving the original boy genie unconscious on the floor.

"That's reassuring. I'm not really fifteen." she said curiously, looking over to the prone form on the floor. "I told 'em...How'd soda do that?"

"I'll have you know I gave him apple juice, as ordered," Sosol shot back. "A little fizzy, but still apple juice."
"Does he always react to carbonation like that?" Kristen asked, more interested in that aspect of it.

Howard waved off Sosol's retort.
"Soda, carbonated juice, same difference. I've tried both, and the carbonated juice has a slightly dampened effect in comparison to the soda. and to answer your question young lady, I'm not sure. It's a long and stupidly long tale that I would prefer not to tell."
He took a seat, pulling out a golden lighter and a cigarette.
"So I'll tell you only once.
I don't know if he told you this yet, but I found him in a curry bottle in Cairo six years back. The particular curry flavor I needed could only be found there, supposedly.
So I went, and I'm looking through aged curries and pickled curries (which you shouldn't even look at) and fifteen other different strands of curriness, though I'm wondering how it all ended up in Cairo. And then I see a single bottle off to the side, red as my hair, and empty. I needed something to store my curry in, so I procure it without the former owner knowing.
I finally get my curry and I put it in my bottle, but the curry seems to be so potent and the bottle was so old that the whole thing melted apart. I'm about to curse the skies when I see Mr. Albee here come out and ask for my three wishes. And that's when I made my genius wishes.
One, that he would lose all of his memory after my three wishes.
Two, that every three wishes he granted, he would come back to me.
Three... well, I made it a lot later, but I wished for a scarf and an air rifle for his birthday."
He finally lit his cigarette, sticking it in his mouth.
"And that's not even why Albee turns into a lover boy when he drinks carbonated juice."

"I'll be sure to keep that in mind for the next time it happens, Doctor." Lestat, being on the opposite side of the bar from Devyn, crouched down to make sure Albee would be alright.
"Ri~ight." The blonde rolled his eyes as he continued to wash the glasses behind the bar. "T'get someone back to normal, just whack 'em on th'head."
"Well if I did it to you, your memory loss would be even worse." Standing up from his crouching position, the raven-haired man dusted off his navy-colored dress pants.

Charlotte laughed at Devyn and Lestat's interjection. "I like that plan. But why, then?"
(It's late. Need sleep soon...next post is last)

"Why his memory loss would be worse?" Lestat blinked a few times as his gaze settled on Charlotte. "Remember when I told you that Devyn's parents were excellent physicians?"
"I don't." The blonde raised his hand.
"Honestly, that's not surprising." He glanced over his shoulder at his blonde counterpart. "But anyway~." His gaze returned to Charlotte. "When his parents were treating his injuries after he received that near-fatal blow to the head, Devyn's parents made me promise that he wouldn't receive any more head trauma in his life, lest he have a relapse."
"And I~ think that'd be bad." He frowned slightly.
"It would."

((I've actually got to finish up too. "Real life takes precedence," eh, Gren? whee ))
"Huh? Oh, the glass?"
The doctor laughed to himself.
"That was just because Albee was being an idiot. It was the water that changed him back."
He hoisted the small child over his shoulder and gathered his belongings in the other arm.
"Well, this has been fun. Albee isn't ever able to enjoy himself this much, and as a doctor, I know it's good for children like this one to have fun."
Before he walked upstairs he stopped by Charlotte.
"By the way, young lady. Two things.
One, he is well into the hundreds as far as his years go, so be careful you don't give him soda, or else he'll go straight to adult form and attempt to marry you.
And two..."
Howard sighedas he looked at Albee. The genie would probably hate him for a lengthy time, but he could live with that.
"...Albee doesn't ever lie about his feelings, as you saw when he got excited about the juice. Which means the feelings he showed for you when he went lovestruck teenager mode..."
The red-haired doctor winked at her, a wicked grin splayed on his teeth.
"You're a lucky girl, getting a genie to fall in love with you. Ah, forgot my stuff..."
After putting his top hat on and tucking the baseball bat with the rest of Albee's things, Howard made his way up the stairs.
"Good night, all! Thanks for listening to what I told you to do!"
He laughed evilly as he walked back to his room, appropriated Albee in the bed he'd been sleeping in before, and laid down on the floor, snoring.

"I meant why about the soda, Mr. Exposition, but thanks for the update..." she said, blinking. "I'll be sure to respect that."
She blinked, watching him walk off with Albee. "Well...a genie falling for a chaos wielder? The wonders never cease..." She giggled. "Hundreds...that kid's still a kid! Well, we'll see what comes outta this..."
(Quite! *flops onto bed* Good night!)

Enta opened the door, looking almost on the edge of sleep. He looked up at Tyler and the soup, a tired smile playing on his lips. "Smells good..."'he commented croakily as he let Tyler in. Carefully taking the warm bowl, the catboy situated himself on the bed, eating in silence and making sure to take another dose of his medicine. After finshing the meal, he thanked Tyler again and snuggled back under his covers, not really having the energy for much else. Perhaps tomorrow he would try to venture downstairs...

Kristen sat downstairs, up oddly early with a cup of peppermint tea from Charlotte's machine. Everyone in their merry band was at the Inn now...she and her brother, his wife and her best friend, Tyler and Max...
This was the safest place to be, as unpredictable and flexible as these people proved. She could almost never predict what would happen next, save for the occasional telephone and mail calls, and those came from outside.
Maybe that chaos Charlotte's here to untangle isn't so bad, after all...

Howard blinked.
"Huuuh."
He was sprawled out across the floor of the room while Albee snored a bit.
"Mmm... stupid kid. Why are you sleeping better than I am...?"
The doctor made his way to his feet, reaching towards the sky as his back popped loudly.
"I need to find a better nickname for myself than doctor. Patient, maybe."
He donned his top hat and gripped his baseball hat as he descended the stairs, leaving Albee to sleep the rest of the day away.
The top-hatted man looked around through slightly bent glasses, wondering what it was he would attempt to entertain himself with today. Scents of peppermint tickled his nose, turning his head in the direction of a girl with a cup.
"Hey, girl. Do you know if they have a kitchen around here? I want to cook something."

Kristen glanced up at the strange doctor. "The kitchen is through that door," she said, gesturing to the one in question. "Brother keeps it well-stocked, so you should have no trouble in making something for yourself."

The doctor became excited, looking at the door anxiously. Before he made his way over, he looked back to the girl.
"Would you like me to make you something as well? I work better when I have bulk orders."
