"LET ME GET A BETTER LOOK AT YOU, MASTER." Inara's voice booms around you as you feel the walls shake and the furniture start to move. Some of the jars of incense fall off of their respective counters, shattering against the ground. When you are finally able to stand still again, your attention is turned to the ceiling where a rather large circular disk in the center begins to turn. As if being thrown off by the force of a tornado, the center piece flies off, flooding the room with natural light. And then just as it appeared, the light is vanquished by a large presence peeking in. It's Inara but... She's gigantic! Her pretty face fills the hole in the ceiling and with a giant toothy grin, she says "I HOPE YOU FOUND YOUR SURROUNDINGS PLEASURABLE, MASTER. I KNOW HOW BADLY YOU WANTED TO LEAVE THE DESERT." You shake yourself up and find yourself almost trembling at the imposing beauty staring down at you. "Inara... w...where did you send me?" The middle eastern goddess bites her lip in a cute manner and says "WELL MASTER, YOU ONLY REQUESTED TO LEAVE THE AREA, BUT YOU DID NOT SPECIFY WHERE YOU'D LIKE TO BE TAKEN NEXT. I FIGURED YOU WOULD WANT TO BE SOMEPLACE COMFORTABLE, AND IN MY EXPERIENCE, NO PLACE HAS GIVEN ME GREATER COMFORT THAN MY OWN BOTTLE." That's why she looks so damn big... she made you little! You're small enough to fit in the genie's bottle now! You have nobody to blame here but yourself, really. You knew going into this that the genie would twist your words around and take every literal interpretation she could. You've read the stories, you heard the consequences! But now you find yourself a paltry few inches tall, being held in the genie's all powerful, albeit gorgeous presence. You look up at the giant woman and say "Well, it is comfy, I'll give you that. But I can't help but feel that it won't do any good while we're still in the middle of nowhere." Inara smiles and says "NOT TO WORRY, MASTER. IT FEELS GOOD TO BE OUT OF THE BOTTLE FOR A BIT. I WILL GLADLY DO SOME WALKING FOR YOU, AND LET YOU KNOW WHEN WE REACH THE NEAREST TOWN." You start to protest but she merely blows you a kiss and seals the bottle back up, leaving you in the self-contained arabic style room that you were transported to. The room moves slightly with every large step Inara takes, but you know that she's holding the lamp safely in her hands. After what seems like a few hours of relaxation, you feel the lamp shake yet again, only this time it's as if it has come to rest on something. The hatch at the top opens again, and Inara's smiling face returns. "THERE WE ARE, MASTER. I'VE FOUND A ROOM FOR US TO USE. NOW THAT WE ARE SETTLED AND AWAY FROM THE SANDS, DO YOU HAVE ANOTHER WISH FOR ME?" You sigh, knowing that you've probably been cheated out of an opportunity to use a wish for another need, and say "Yes, Inara. I wish that you could let me out of the lamp." She laughs and says "AWW, LITTLE MASTER. THAT DOESN'T REQUIRE THE USE OF ONE OF YOUR WISHES. I'LL DO IT FOR YOU RIGHT NOW." You are relieved that she seems to be looking out for your best interests and wait for her to use her powers to release you.
