SCP-4035 - Prey On Words - Disappointing Genie

Dr Bob brings you SCP Foundation SAFE Class object, SCP-4035 - Prey On Words Animation.
Join the DR BOB SQUAD by going to / drbob and become an Honorary Member of the Dr. Bob Research Staff!
SCP-4035 is a table lamp with a stained glass patterned lampshade and an iron base. SCP 4035 does not appear to have any form of wiring or electrical components within it, other than a standard lightbulb socket.
Following the insertion of a lightbulb, a gaseous humanoid entity will apparate from within SCP4035 . This entity, referred to as SCP 4035 -1, has the appearance of a balding Caucasian male between the ages of 40 and 50, wearing a patchy brown suit coat.
Once the subject verbally responds to SCP-4035-1 in any manner, the subject will gain a biological modification or anomalous ability directly correlating with how the subject responded to SCP-4035-1. This occurs whether the subject was responding to SCP-4035-1's inquiry or not. Due to this, received abilities are often described by their recipients as "lackluster" or "disappointing."

I have a game with friends where one is the Genie, and one the Wisher. The purpose of the game is for the Wisher to make a perfectly unalterable and positive wish, while the Genie's role is to twist it. The Wisher wins if the Genie fails to find a way to twist the wish. It is surprisingly fun and a difficult exercice.

[@R.DeMora]

Sounds fun, I'm gonna try this with the family. Are these the only conditions? What do you mean by positive? As in favorable outcome?

[@OzoneGrif]

@@R.DeMora Obvious favorable outcome, yes. There are three rules for the wishes: "No altering the past (no paradoxes) ; No altering the state of life (can't kill or resurrect) ; No altering freewill (can't force sentient beings to do or think something)".

[@OzoneGrif]

@@R.DeMora A classic is "I wish to be rich"; the Djinni can teleport all the gold from bank safes to his home, so technically he'll be rich, but unable to spend the money because gold must be sold first, but since all the police is looking after the gold, it will be a difficult task. Or you can make the whole economy collapse, so he's technically rich, but inflation will explode. Many possibilities to corrupt a wish.

"I wish to have one American dollar that will not harm *_anyone_* physically, emotionally, or in any other way" Genie gives a dollar, that turns to dust in seconds. "I wish to have one non anomalous American dollar that will not harm anyone physically, emotionally, or in any other way, that lasts as long as any other" I get a dollar that lasts, finally. Later I check my bank account. Balance? Empty. The Genie literally made me have 1 dollar to my name and only 1. "I wish to gain one non anomalous American dollar that will not harm anyone physically, emotionally, or in any other way, that lasts as long as any other and will not effect my current net worth" Nothing happens. It must not be giving me the money immediately. "I wish to *_immediately_* gain one non anomalous American dollar that will not harm anyone physically, emotionally, or in any other way, that lasts as long as any other and will not effect my current net worth" And I bet the genie will continue to have some stupid loophole.

Some of those abilities can be useful in other ways than intended. If a guy has the ability to understand ANY writing that's on a person's head, it could be very useful for translating unknown languages or text from other SCP's by just tattooing the unknown text onto another D-class's head.

[@janusyvans6846]

This kind of reminds me of Fairly Odd Parents, where a Genie gave misinterpreted wishes to Timmy similar to this SCP. The only way Timmy was able to deal with said Genie is by hiring a lawyer-fairy to properly grant his wish through a contract.

I’d say just say one word it will never mis interpret mastery meaning that your in control and have mastered what you wish the genie can’t fuck with you or mess you up even if it was literal you can’t be harmed you will always be in control nothing forced and it doesn’t have risks imagine being in information technology or a doctor can’t mess it up it will only help you lmao.

I was wondering if the Jinn's affects are also subject to written wishes or sign language. I have been an avid D&D player and am very aware of how things can easily be twisted. This is why I wonder about the other forms of communications used. Also, I wonder what would happen if you had introduced the Jinn to the Plague doctor. Or for that fact an animal that does not speak the human language such as a dolphin. I personally would request the fallowing: "Wish 1: 1 Complete comprehensive autobiography of the entity giving these 3 wishes, that can not be distorted or altered from my intent. Wish 2: That the entity giving these 3 wishes, Actively give an earnest effort to become my friend and share in experiences that the both of us would enjoy. Wish 3: I want to know what the entity that is giving these 3 wishes, would wish for themselves and why; this way depending on the entity's wish and explanation, I may willingly of my own chosen intent- choose to or not to give my 3rd wish to the entity." TOP THAT YOU GUYS! I challenge you to find Fault in this.

[@PotentFrost]

This genie only grants one wish and causes you to mess up while speaking to it.

scp 4035 object class: safe Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4035 is to be kept within a standard containment chamber guarded by at least one member of site security at all times. Testing involving SCP-4035 must be approved and supervised by a minimum of 1 Level 3 personnel. SCP-4035’s containment chamber is to be regularly stocked with working lightbulbs for testing purposes. Description: SCP-4035 is a table lamp with a stained glass patterned lampshade and an iron base. SCP-4035 does not appear to have any form of wiring or electrical components within it, other than a standard lightbulb socket. Despite this, lightbulbs inserted into SCP-4035 produce light as expected, albeit with a blue hue. Following the insertion of a lightbulb, a gaseous humanoid entity will apparate from within SCP-4035. This entity, referred to as SCP-4035-1, has the appearance of a balding Caucasian male between the ages of 40 and 50, wearing a patchy brown suit coat. The legs and abdomen of SCP-4035-1 appear as a cloudy blue gas that leads within SCP-4035. SCP-4035 often manifests smoking a large cigar, although this cigar produces no heat or smoke. When SCP-4035-1 manifests, it will direct its attention towards the individual who placed the lightbulb inside of SCP-4035. SCP-4035-1 will introduce itself to the subject1, and inquire whether the subject would like to purchase an unknown product. Inquiries into the nature of this product or SCP-4035 itself have met with failure. Once the subject verbally responds to SCP-4035-1 in any manner, the subject will gain a biological modification or anomalous ability directly correlating with how the subject responded to SCP-4035-1. SCP-4035-1 will treat any verbal communication as an answer to its inquiry, whether it was a statement, a separate inquiry, or a non sequitur. This occurs whether the subject was responding to SCP-4035-1's inquiry or not. Due to this, received abilities are often described by their recipients as "lackluster" or "disappointing." Often, these abilities are severely detrimental to the subject and cause them severe harm. Following the subject receiving these abilities, SCP-4035-1 will quickly recede back into SCP-4035, with the lightbulb violently exploding upon its entrance. If the subject attempts to contact SCP-4035-1 again, a voice will emanate from SCP-4035 stating, "Sorry kid, no refunds." Addendum 1: The following are several testing logs to determine the extent of SCP-4035-1’s abilities. Testing Log 4035-1 Researcher: Dr. Bannock Subject: D-4088 Statement: Subject was instructed to request “Telepathic abilities” from SCP-4035-1. Upon manifestation of SCP-4035-1, subject instead exclaimed, “What kinda shit is this?” Resulting Ability: Subject was able to identify the chemical composition of all types of feces, as well as the creature it originated from. Testing Log 4035-2 Researcher: Dr. Bannock Subject: D-1433 Statement: Subject was instructed to request “Telepathic abilities” from SCP-4035-1. Upon manifestation, subject asked SCP-4035-1 to “be able to read minds.” Resulting Ability: Testing showed that D-1433 had not developed telepathic abilities, and was held until further notice. It was found several weeks later that the subject had gained the ability to understand any form of writing, under the condition that it was written onto the forehead of a living being. This was discovered after a violent altercation when the subject revealed to D-3475 that the tattoo of Chinese characters on his forehead read “Cuban butter mustache.” Testing Log 4035-3 Researcher: Dr. Bannock Subject: D-0672 Statement: Subject was instructed to request “Muscle regeneration” from SCP-4035-1. Subject requested this without issue. Resulting Ability: Once SCP-4035-1 demanifested, D-0672 was provided a standard pocket knife and instructed to injure himself. Upon the knife piercing D-0672's arm, subject’s muscular system began to swell and multiply to approximately 245% of its original size. Subject began showing signs of extreme distress until his vital signs ceased three seconds later. Autopsy revealed no abnormalities and the corpse was incinerated. Testing Log 4035-4 Researcher: Dr. Bannock Subject: D-1899 Statement: Subject was instructed to request “flight” from SCP-4035-1. Subject requested this without issue. Resulting Ability: Subject appears to be unaffected by Earth’s gravitational pull. Subject does not appear to to able to control their flight, only being able to propel herself by pushing off of solid structures. Testing Log 4035-5 Researcher: None Subject: Junior Researcher Jacobson Statement: This was an unauthorized usage of SCP-4035. Security footage shows Junior Researcher Jacobson entering SCP-4035’s containment chamber and requesting SCP-4035-1 to “make him more attractive.” Resulting Ability: Footage shows that after the demanifestation of SCP-4035-1, Jacobson suddenly impacted the wall of the containment chamber with a large amount of force, suffering a severe spinal fracture. During post-incident analysis, it was found that Jacobson's epidermis had gained properties similar to that of a high powered magnet. Jacobson remained alive for approximately two hours before succumbing to his injuries. Once total brain death occurred, Jacobson's corpse lost all anomalous properties, and was incinerated as per protocol. Addendum 2: After extensive testing with SCP-4035, it has been found that while in proximity to the object, sapient beings are more likely to experience sudden speech problems such as parapraxis2 or signs of ankyloglossia.3 Studies have revealed that subjects communicating within approximately 20 meters of SCP-4035 are 68% more likely to experience parapraxis, which often results in unintended modifications when speaking with SCP-4035-1. Further research into this effect is currently ongoing. All further testing is to be recorded in Experiment Log-4035.

Dr. Doofenshmirtz: Speaking of wishes, you know what I never understood? Genies! They tell you to wish for anything you want, and then they add some terrible twist. Like you wish to jump high so he turns you into a frog. What? Why? Who gains from this? The genie? Where’s the benefit? You should be fighting genies, man, not me. I’m not the problem. Genies. Genies are the problem.

[@Skyypixelgamer]

See this is the reason why ever sense I watched Aladdin at the age of like 5 I made these scenarios in my head where I had to think of every trick in the book a genie might use to ruin a wish and mention those when making said wish.

[@vorenceshoshi]

3 things to attempt to use this scp 1) fully write down your wish (with conditions to account for shenanigans) prior to engaging with the scp. If possible have him fulfill the written wish without having to vocalise it. 2) request the genie fulfill the request you always wanted exactly to the specifications as preferred by the wishmaker. 3) wish for the Genie, to either change its personality and responses to grant wishes to the person requesting it and their specifications as yearned for instead of vocalized. Or request a similar genie, that has safeguards to protect the individuals making wishes so that they won't have their vocalise wish misinterpreted at the genie's behest. Personally, I've always been astounded this has never been attempted given how many "Monkey Paw"-ish stories

[@robertoroberto9798]

It’s just that authors just don’t find entertainment in making genies that give you your wishes without any repercussions unfortunately.

[@vorenceshoshi]

@@robertoroberto9798 I get it, I just like doing mental exercises on simple problems. However, it would be interesting to see some of this being addressed, sort of like, genie presets or countermeasures. Heck by all means genie's countermeasures sound like an interesting concept to put into this scp. Not sure what the author would write it as but still just a fun concept. That said it would also be interesting to see if it could produce the fluid known as SCP 682 killer, the one that was featured in an extermination log for 682.
