You are standing by a tree
There are 3 paths.
One appears to go to a jungle,
one appears to go to a cave,
one appears to go to a beach,
you could try and climb the tree,
there is a nearby shop you could go in,
or you could do something else.
So what's its going to be?

In the shop
There is a table with a sign saying
<strong>Free Sample:</strong>
Take one
On the table there is a fridge with a range of liquids. Also on the table are various magical trinkets including costumes. What would you like to take, or would you like to buy something?

A lamp
You take a lamp. Now what are you going to do with it?

Transformation Genie
Just then, a huge puff of green smoke appears.
The smoke forms the shape of a humanoid, then finally materializes into a turquoise-skinned man who appears to be about 25 years old. You quiver with fear, staring at him (after all, you're not used to seeing turquoise-skinned men appear out of lamps).
"Who has rubbed the lamp of the Genie of Transformation?", the man asks in a light, yet stern voice.
"I-I did", you answer softly.
He steps closer to you and bows. "Thank You, Master, Thank You!", he says as he kneels to you.
"Master?"
He stands. "Yes", he says. "You have released me from the Lamp, and now you may have three wishes.
The wishes carry certain limitations, however..."
"Yes, like what?", you ask again, almost bursting with excitement (having your own genie and all).
"First, there are only three wishes, no more and no less, and this may not be changed by any wishes made. Second, all wishes made by the master should be precisely worded. If the wish is too vague, then I shall choose the remaining factors of the wish. And third, all wishes must be related to the change of the master, or of someone else that the master chooses. In other words, all wishes must be transformative."
Well what are you going to wish for?

I don't need a **** Transformation
"I don't need a transformation thank you very much," you say. "I am perfectly happy as a human". "You can take your conditional wishes elsewhere, you ****".
The genie's eyes widen. "You are going to regret mocking me". " You don't want a transformation, too bad you're getting one.
GULP!!!

Scales
The genie raises his cobalt-hued arms, muscles bulging as he chants in a language you don’t recognize, although it hurts your ears to hear it. Then, he ends with a flourish, and nothing happens. You’re ready to laugh at him – and then you realize your mouth won’t open.
“You should have been a little more grateful. Genies don’t come along every day,” he mocks.
You’re ready to argue, ready to take it back, ready to say something, but your mouth won’t move. You raise your hands to your lips – and there’s nothing there. Then, as the spell fully takes hold, there’s a crack from behind you, and you fall to your hands and knees with an unspoken cry of pain.
“That’s better,” says the genie with derision. Gone is the kneeling, servile spirit – now he is all pride and offended dignity, teaching you your place in the world. “Treat your elders with respect.” The chanting starts again.
There’s a sharp pain in your back, and it feels like your spine is lengthening, and then suddenly you’re aware of…
something behind you. It swishes back and forth behind you, and you realize you now have a tail. Scales spread over your skin like a rush of cold, and they itch. Not only that, but your hands and feet are broadening and flattening, nails sharpening into wicked claws.
You could let the spell finish and try to apologize… or you could attack him and see if you can stop it.

Attack the son of a XXX!
You use the last of your energy to get halfway to your feet – and swing at your torturer with the gift he’s given you, your new deadly claws! They go through him like he’s made of nothing more than air, but he disappears back into the lamp, and your chest rises in satisfaction. You’ve beaten him!
…until you realize that while the spell seems to be done, you’re not turning back either. You fall back on all fours, but your arms and legs are still mostly human. Your tail is thick and scaley, scraping against the ground as you move, and worst of all, your mouth is gone. There’s nothing below your nose but an expanse of smooth skin.
You exhale through your nose, and carefully waddle along. You don’t move very fast like this, but you suppose if you keep moving, you might be able to find someone who can change you back. But which way do you go now?

Back to the tree
You waddle back to the tree, but that’s as far as your stumpy, misshapen legs will take you. You wish you’d thought this through a little better.
Still, this isn’t too bad, especially once you’re lying down. The itching from your scales hasn’t stopped, and your arms are too short now to reach most places, but it’s a different perspective on the world.
…Right. The positive spin is almost working. You should just face it. You’re a freak now. Or maybe that’s just the exhaustion talking – you can’t decide. Maybe you should just get some sleep, and when you wake up, you’ll be human again.
