…but here's my answer to Bright's challenge 1!

Eskobar 13 Feb 2012 13:54

Eh. It's not bad, but it could use more of a hook. Paint that am skin?

I do like the brevity, though, and the tone is pretty well there.

soullesshuman 13 Feb 2012 14:14

Paint skin!

Kinda boring other than that. Wish there was more to it, it's well written. What a shame.

Upvoted because I like it as is. Nice simple SCP.

You may want to add more; what happens if you paint it on a bruise/animal etc.

Dr LosER 13 Feb 2012 14:31

It needs more of a hook, and I think that would work well. Seconded.

You know what this is?

This is British Paint.

If we do a DNA analysis on it, we'll find various genetic markers indicating that it's ethnically Anglo-Saxon.

What happens if we slop multiple layers of it on top of each other? Will we be able to pierce deep enough to draw blood?

What happens if we cover a mannequin with this stuff?

Psyshade 13 Feb 2012 15:28

1: Likely! (and now mentioned. it was too good to leave out)
2: Addressed
3: Real-Doll extreme.

What about follicles? Are there any follicles here?

Can we induce melanoma on this thing?

Is it genetically male or female?

Psyshade 13 Feb 2012 21:30

1: not found as of yet
2: depends… can you paint melanoma?
3: both and neither. chimeric.

Psyshade 13 Feb 2012 21:32

you have some great questions! great for next-level-ing this bad boy.

Would "Kenyan Paint" be a darker shade then?

pooryoric 14 Feb 2012 02:55

Are people from the areas around Kenya generally darker skinned than people ethnically from the British Isles?

Sorts 13 Feb 2012 18:17

I don't see how this needs a hook. It's skin paint. That's hells of creepy on its own.

The D class with the "artistic inclination" to cause skin blemishes is pretty creepy too, that sounds like a history of sadism to me.

ChazzK 13 Feb 2012 18:36

Thank you. I was sitting here like "It's paint that, when dry, turns into skin, is that not hook in-and-of itself?"

Also, because I'm a sick bastard, I want to see what happens if this stuff is used in 002…

zaratustra 13 Feb 2012 18:25

"When peeled from a surface and examined, the treatment behaves like a latex paint. "

This sentence sounds a bit awkward to me.

Psyshade 13 Feb 2012 20:47

good call. moved that bit down to the notes on traits and said it less directly. perhaps that will also partially resolve the 'un-hooked' feeling some are having.

TL333s 13 Feb 2012 21:39

Gross as hell, but the creep factor is outweighed by the usefulness. Still upvoted. I do wonder if there isn't more to this, some way to coat enough of something so as to create a full lifeform out of it.

ChazzK 14 Feb 2012 15:45

……. Wait. How… What…. How is this USEFUL!? Aside from a potential lining of a room for a germ-based SCP, or where you need an ambient temperature but want to save on heating (yet still have to deal with normal clean up of shedding of a room covered in skin) I fail to see it…

DJ Suptic 14 Feb 2012 00:05

"If a treated surface becomes sunburned, the treatment will slough from its application site wholesale."

The mental picture of that happening is just… blech. I know there's no blood, but still.

Upvoted for subtle, well done squick.

Khym Chanur 14 Feb 2012 00:30

The "British" and the can made me think of this:

Caller: Do you have Prince Albert in a can?

Callee: Yes.

Caller: Then you'd better let him out!

Callee: That would violate the special containment procedure. An MTF is being sent to your location to capture you and determine how you gained knowledge of an Euclid class SCP.
