Miranda found her Djinn while walking in the park, exactly what an ornate locket was doing there is a mystery but it appeared to have fallen from a great height. Her first wish was to “get that dealer out of my community”. In the infuriatingly literal manner of the Chained the Djinn picked up the drug dealer and threw him with great force. He ended up as a smear just outside the town limits. Miranda nearly had a heart attack and did in fact have a mental breakdown that left her somewhat unable to accept the consequences of her wishes ever since.

The next time Miranda would turn to her Djinn was to prevent the local park being sold to property developers, the local activists suspected foul play but had no evidence. To fix this Miranda wished to see the correspondence between the local government and the developers. Despite repressing her earlier disaster of a wish she subconsciously remembered enough to add “without hurting anyone”.

Police were baffled as to who would smash a third floor window in the middle of the night just to steal a filing cabinet. Courts tend to have official policies on stolen evidence but the press is somewhat more relaxed, and with an election looming front page news about binary was enough to sink the entire deal. Repressing memories of the problems possessing stolen documents caused for her team of activists Miranda recalls only a success that encouraged her into many more Djinn related hijinx.

So far no one else has been hurt, it's rather hard to misinterpret “without hurting anyone”, but the link between numerous inexplicable acts of petty vandalism, thefts, other minor crimes and miscellaneous weirdness and successes for Miranda and associated activists has not gone unnoticed. Some Djinn is going to have to have a word before she blows their cover, or just digs a deeper hole trying to wish her way out of the problems she created with her last wish.
