scp concept 1

A blank CD that can be put in any valid slot that plays music. When loaded, the time will say 00:00 and if a progress bar is visible it will not move, but a song will play anyway. Different parts of the song constantly repeat, and it seems to be infinite. Lyrics also change between listening sessions. It will also cause listeners to feel attracted to the music, and they will feel a more intense urge as the song goes on until they are effectively permanently trapped listening and will stay there until they die or go deaf. Has similar concepts to SCP-1981.

(Codename: SCP-5XXX)

scp draft 1

SCP-5XXX: Endless Swing

Item#: 5XXX
Level3
Containment Class:
safe
Secondary Class:
none
Disruption Class:
vlam
Risk Class:
danger

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5XXX is to be contained in a standard CD case on a shelf in a soundproofed room. No recording devices of any kind are allowed within SCP-5XXX's chamber without express permission from at least three (3) 05 level personnel, and any approved recordings must be destroyed as soon as the testing they are required for has ended. Subjects exposed to SCP-5XXX's sound must be removed from the chamber by personnel wearing heavy ear protection before five (5) minutes have passed, as the effects become effectively irreversible after that point.

If a subject has been exposed to SCP-5XXX's sound for more than five minutes, they must be kept within the chamber until they either die due to their inactivity or lose their hearing ability. If the latter occurs, the subject must be immediately terminated. During testing, one supervisor must be present for every 4 minutes the song is planned to run for. Only one (1) supervisor is allowed to monitor the test at a time, and others must be in a separate room. After 4 minutes, a new supervisor must be swapped out in order to avoid anomalous effects on the supervisors.

Description: SCP-5XXX consists of SCP-5XXX-1, a blank CD with no visible or intentional markings on it, and SCP-5XXX-2, a seemingly endless song stored in the disc. SCP-5XXX-1 was first discovered in ████████, ██, USA, inside of an apparently non-anomalous white CD case, which it is still contained in when not in use. When SCP-5XXX-1 is placed into a disc slot capable of playing music, various anomalous effects occur. If the object with the disc slot has or is connected to a screen showing the song length, it will always show as some form of zero (0) seconds. If a progress bar showing how far the song has gone along is visible, it will not move no matter how long SCP-5XXX-2 plays. No information on the song title or artist title is visible on software that supports it, and no information has been found through research. However, it shows the date of recording as 6/2/1929. If SCP-5XXX-2 is attempted to be downloaded in any form, it will produce an unnamed .wav file, which exhibits the same properties as the original SCP-5XXX-2. It cannot be loaded into any programs besides ones used solely for playing audio, and will crash any other programs that attempt to load it. It will also fail to be transferred onto new discs. In the event that the disc is destroyed or worn down beyond use, a digital copy has been backed up on Foundation servers for testing use.

SCP-5XXX-2 is a typical swing music composure, a sub-genre of jazz, though the sound is in surprisingly high quality considering the recording's alleged age (which is also abnormally old for swing music). The singer sounds to be male, but has yet to be identified. The musical structure follows a set pattern:

  • A trumpet, piano, bass, and drums play for roughly 31 seconds
  • Generic jazz lyrics (see below) are sung for roughly 10 seconds, over a different tune with the same instruments (sans trumpet)
  • Short 2-second instrumental with the same instruments and tune as before
  • Different lyrics are sung in the same structure as before, though typically for a slightly longer period of time
  • Structure above repeats until the song is forcefully silenced

While the instrumentals are fairly consistent, the lyrics begin to change drastically after this structure repeats twice. Before this anomalous shift occurs, the same 8 lines are sung in every listening session of SCP-5XXX-2. A transcription of these lyrics is below:

[~31 second instrumental]

[First lyrical section]

Hey, everybody, get your feet off the ground,
You can dance all night, and listen to the sound!

[2-second instrumental]

[Second lyrical section]

Put your left foot in, and put your right foot out,
Now do a little spin, and shake it all about!

[~31-second instrumental]

[Third lyrical section]

Go ahead and spin around, all around town,
Just do it again if you ever feel down!

[2-second instrumental]

[Fourth lyrical section]

There's a special dance move you've just got to know,
I think I'll teach you right now, let's go, go, go!

These lyrics have no anomalous effects in any capacity, and the only thing even unusual about them is how repetitive the structure is. However, after 8 lines have been sung, the lyrics take unusual and sometimes disturbing tones, never repeating in different listening sessions. At first, they sing about seemingly any topic, including ones that only existed after the recording date. A few topics for example include:

  • The process of making cheese
  • The Canadian education system
  • The Apollo-11 NASA mission
  • The SCP foundation itself
  • [DATA EXPUNGED]

After an array of random topics, the lyrics will become far more anomalous and sinister, seemingly becoming self-aware and singing about the subject's personal details. Specifics have included their full name, date of birth, home address, [DATA EXPUNGED], and clearance level (when subject is an SCP foundation faculty member).

Besides the anomalous lyrics, listeners will also feel an urge to continue listening to SCP-5XXX-2, which is intensified as the song goes on. After the non-anomalous first 8 lines are completed (around 1 minute and 48 seconds), even subjects who hated the song at first will begin to enjoy it. After roughly 3 minutes of listening, subjects will become hyper-focused on the music and will protest if removed. At the 4 minute mark, subjects will lose most awareness of their surroundings, and will actively attempt to get back if removed. After 5 minutes, subjects will have their full consciousness focused on nothing but SCP-5XXX-2, and any natural urges are either ignored or absent. The only brain functions at this point besides listening to SCP-5XXX-2 are vital involuntary actions, such as the beating of the heart. However, the urge for food, sleep, and water does not fall under this category, and subjects will not notice the suffering they receive from lack of these things. If the music is switched off, subjects will become angry and sometimes violent, but slowly regain their normal consciousness and awareness. During their periods of rage, they ramble about "the one who sees all" and "our lord", which is assumed to refer to the singer in SCP-5XXX-2. If the music has been playing for more than 24 hours straight with a listener present, their brain will cease to function as soon as the music is shut off, causing instantaneous death. However, at this point, they will eventually die anyway due to their full focus being on SCP-5XXX-2, making 24 hours the final step in the advancement of SCP-5XXX-2's focusing effect.

Appendix A: Notable SCP-5XXX-2 testing sessions

Test ID: 5XXX-005
Date: 7/23/1997, 3:42 PM
Current song runtime: 4:35
Test Supervisor: Dr. R. Mason
Test Subject: Dr. ██████
Lyrical transcription:

Twenty-fourth of July, on this very year,
Here comes a drunk driver, don't know how to steer!

5:03 PM, on ol' ████████ Street,
You'll be quite literally swept off of your feet!

Additional Notes: Test was terminated directly after these lyrics, as the runtime was approaching 5 minutes. Dr. ██████ calmed down unusually quickly, and had no memory of the lyrics. The next day (7/24), on the same street mentioned in these lyrics, at 5:03 PM, Dr. ██████ was hit by a car and killed. The driver was found to be under the influence of alcohol, and Dr. ██████ was reported to have been flung into the air - "Swept off his feet", so to say. SCP-5XXX-2 appears to have the power to accurately predict future events, though it seems to be uncommon. - Dr. Mason

Test ID: 5XXX-038
Date: 9/6/1999, 1:09 PM
Current song runtime: 7:48
Test Supervisors: Dr. R. Mason, Dr. ████ (Only Dr. ████ was present when these lyrics were sung)
Test Subject: D-49573
Lyrical transcription:

Whatever you do, man, don't look at its face,
It's running at the speed of sound, what a chase!

Breaks out of his chamber in Site-██,
You can't even stop him with a ███████████!4

Additional Notes: These lines are clearly referring to SCP-096, though I don't know how. It also specifically states the site it's contained in, and the correct one at that! SCP-5XXX appears to have the power to know things it shouldn't be able to, although I have no idea how. - Dr. ████

Addendum on 9/8/99: With all due respect, this is one of the worst-written notes I have read in my life. At least it gets the point across, albeit very roughly. - Dr. Mason

Test ID: 5XXX-106
Date: 11/18/2002, 9:22 AM
Current song runtime: 6:46
Test Supervisors: Dr. Q. Peterson, Dr. G██ (Only Dr. Peterson was present for when these lyrics were sung)
Test Subject: D-18473
Lyrical transcription:

Going to the land of blocks, time to have fun,
Building up so very high, into the sun!

Three-two-eight-seven days, you'll just have to wait,
After that you'll have a new game on your plate!

Additional Notes: These lyrics very specifically mention a certain number of days: 3287. Taking leap days into account, that should be precisely 9 years from now. I'll make an addendum then if anything particularly notable happens. - Dr. Peterson

Addendum on 11/19/2011: No major notable events happened yesterday, at least not any that have become widely known. May check back someday if something has happened that we don't know about yet. - Dr. Peterson

Addendum on 7/4/2017: While looking back on old testing locks, I was shocked to discover this! 11/18/2011 was the launch date of the hit sandbox game "Minecraft", which didn't gain very much traction right at release. It became far more popular soon after, however. Unfortunately, Dr. Peterson was terminated 3 days after the addendum was written after her involvement in a containment breach, and Dr. G██ was not very involved in this portion of the testing, which explains why there was no further mention of the prediction. The one thing I'm not sure about is why SCP-5XXX chose to predict the launch of a video game of all things. - Senior Researcher K███

Test ID: 5XXX-233
Date: 8/14/2009, 8:41 PM
Current song runtime: 17:33
Test Supervisors: Dr. R. Mason, Dr. G██, Dr. M. F█████, Junior Researcher K███, Dr. R. Schumacher (Only Dr. F█████ was present when these lyrics were sung)
Test Subject: D-95738
Transcription:

In the middle of a musical portion, the recording suddenly cuts out to static. No static was present under the instruments, however. 60 seconds pass, and a nearly incoherent voice fades in.

Hey! Hello! Can you hear me? I'm…

Static becomes louder for a few seconds, drowning out the words. It dies down again.

…out. Please, it's been so long! I don't know how, but…

Static becomes louder and drowns out the words again, and then suddenly cuts back to the instrumental. Test is immediately terminated.

Additional Notes: We've ran over 200 tests on this thing, and not once have we had an event anything like this. Somehow, the subject was still completely transfixed on the "song" at this point. Also, I've noticed quite a few similarities with SCP-1981. Not so much that I think it has some kind of connection with 5XXX, but it could be a point of reference for future tests. - Dr. F█████

scp concept 2

A human bone of some kind (undecided) that causes the human skeleton to harden and stiffen when nearby. The interesting thing about the article is that it is written from the POV of a new researcher writing his first report.

(Codename: SCP-5XX2)

scp draft 2

Item#: 5XX2
Level3
Containment Class:
pending
Secondary Class:
none
Disruption Class:
vlam
Risk Class:
danger

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5XX2 is to be kept in a temporary storage cell in Site-██ until it is researched further. Personnel may not come within 10 meters of SCP-5XX2.

Description: SCP-5XX2 is a human femur, which appears to be in perfect condition. When in close proximity, any humans nearby will have their skeletal system hardened and stiffened, until full paralysis sets in. Currently, little else is known.

joke concept 1

An article where the majority of text is replaced with ████, [REDACTED], or [DATA EXPUNGED], or similar censorships.

(Codename: SCP-████-J)

joke draft 1

Item #: ████-J

Object Class: ████████ (formerly █████, and then █████)

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-████-J is to be kept in a [DATA EXPUNGED] cell, with [DATA EXPUNGED] and [DATA EXPUNGED]. Under no circumstances may personnel [DATA EXPUNGED]. If it is [DATA EXPUNGED] despite following this procedures, the left ███████ of all affected personnel must be █████ly [DATA EXPUNGED] so as to stop the potential [DATA EXPUNGED], which could easily result in a containment ██████.

Description: SCP-████-J is a [DATA EXPUNGED] with [DATA EXPUNGED], though it should be noted that [DATA EXPUNGED]. It is approximately [DATA EXPUNGED] tall, and [DATA EXPUNGED] wide. Upon [DATA EXPUNGED], SCP-████-J will [DATA EXPUNGED] until [DATA EXPUNGED]. In the event of [DATA EXPUNGED], subjects exposed to SCP-████-J will undergo [DATA EXPUNGED] in the ██████ region. SCP-████-J appears to possess [DATA EXPUNGED], which is evident from the following pieces of evidence:

  • [DATA EXPUNGED]
  • ████████
  • [REDACTED]

SCP-████-J is highly ███████, and should not be ██████ whilst [DATA EXPUNGED].

Addendum ████-J-1: SCP-████-J has been found to [DATA EXPUNGED] when ██████, producing [DATA EXPUNGED] and ████████ through its ███████. There is a ██% ██████ rate from this process. SCP-████-J's object class has been proposed to be ████ed to █████.

Appendix : Test Log

Test ID: ████-J-█
Date: ██/██/████, ██:██ █M
Test Supervisor: Dr. █. █████
Test Subject: D-█████
Transcription of events:

D-█████ enters the chamber where SCP-████-J is kept. The intercom is turned on.

Dr. █████: D-█████! Can you hear me? What's going on down there?

D-█████: Huh? Who are you?

Dr. █████: I'm the ██████ist ██████ing you. Look, all you need to do is [DATA EXPUNGED] the anomaly's [DATA EXPUNGED].

D-█████: The what!?

Dr. █████: Come on now, █████. We don't have all ███ here.

D-█████: Oh ████ no, I'm not doing that! You [DATA EXPUNGED], or I'll make you!

Dr. █████: D-█████, do you need me to ████ in reinforcements?

D-█████: I'm not gonna do it!

Dr. █████: Just [DATA EXPUNGED] the ████ [DATA EXPUNGED] already, you [REDACTED] [DATA EXPUNGED]!

D-█████: Ok, ok, fine! Just give me a ██████.

D-█████ proceeds to [DATA EXPUNGED] SCP-████-J's [DATA EXPUNGED], with great ██████.

D-█████: Oh man, this is really █████. Are you sure I have to ██ this?

Dr. █████: D-█████, I am ████████ that this experiment will result in a █████ [DATA EXPUNGED] for science as a █████!

D-█████: Well, ██ you ███ so…

D-█████ finishes [DATA EXPUNGED] the [DATA EXPUNGED], and ████s ████ to the ██████ of the chamber.

D-█████: Jesus ██████, can I go yet?

Dr. █████: Almost, but there's ███ more █████ you have to ██.

D-█████: ██ fucking ████, ████ is ██?

Dr. █████: You ████ ██████ ██████████ ████ ██████████ ███ ██████ the ██████ ███████ ████ ██████ █████.

D-█████: Oh ████ ██, I'm not █████ ████ ████! Besides, ███ would █ even be able to [DATA EXPUNGED] ██ █████?

Dr. █████: ███, D-█████, you ███ an ███████ job on that ████ ████, so I'm ████ you'll be ████.

D-█████: Well… ██ ███ ███ so…

D-█████ [DATA EXPUNGED] SCP-████-J's ███ ████████. This causes a █████ [DATA EXPUNGED], leading to the ██████ of D-█████ to ██████. He ██████ in ██████, before [DATA EXPUNGED]. His ███████████ ████ hits and cracks the window where Dr. █████ is ██████ing the ████. Dr. █████ █████ away.

Dr. █████: D-█████! Are you ██?

D-█████: What does it ████ like, you [DATA EXPUNGED]?

Dr. █████: Well, it looks like your █████ and ███ have somehow gone up your ██████, which is ██████████ considering the [DATA EXPUNGED] and the [DATA EXPUNGED]. But █ could be █████.

SCP-████-J suddenly [DATA EXPUNGED] without ███████, further [DATA EXPUNGED] D-█████'s [DATA EXPUNGED] (and now [DATA EXPUNGED] as well).

D-█████: ████ ██████ ███ ███████ ████ ████████!

Dr. █████: Very ████ observation, █████!

D-█████: The ████ ███ ███ my ███████ ███, you ████!

Dr. █████: I see. Unfortunately, the ████ ██ a ███████████ breach is ███ too ███ at this point, and you must ██████ in the ██████ until [DATA EXPUNGED].

D-█████: Are you ███████ ██████!? Get me ███ of ████ █████!

Dr. █████: I'm ██████ I ████ ██ that, D-█████. You'll ████ ████ to ████ ██ ███████ ███.

D-█████: ████ the ████ is █████ with ███!?

Despite ███████, D-█████ proceeds to [DATA EXPUNGED] [DATA EXPUNGED] [REDACTED] ██████ [DATA EXPUNGED], until he is ██████████.

Dr. █████: ███ test ██ now ████. I'm gonna go ████ now and have a ███.

Suddenly, SCP-████-J █████ [DATA EXPUNGED] [DATA EXPUNGED] and ████ ██ ██ ██ ████ ████. Dr. █████ was immediately █████ and [DATA EXPUNGED] from the ████ down, leaving nothing but his [DATA EXPUNGED] and ███████ in a puddle of █████. SCP-████-J proceeded to ██████ containment, and [DATA EXPUNGED] the [DATA EXPUNGED], at which point ███ were called in. Despite their ████ efforts, SCP-████-J was able to [DATA EXPUNGED] until it [DATA EXPUNGED].

Loque & Key

Document #005-015: Message to O5-█

Greetings. I was wondering if I would be able to cross-test SCP-005 with various other SCPs involving locks, such as 004 or 1007. This would give us a lot of insight to the behaviors of both anomalies.

Best regards,
- Dr. Loque

Document #005-17: Message to O5-█

Loque, this is absurd. You are extremely out of line. I'm not even taking this to a vote. You don't even have Level 4 clearance, for god's sake! Whoever authorized you to get information on SCP-005 made a huge mistake. Propose something like this again, and we'll have to take disciplinary action.

Special Containment Procedures: See specific documentation for each anomaly, as they require different procedures. Each anomaly is to be kept in Area ███ for the sake of research.

Description: The designation SCP-FUCKYOU-J refers to a set of 6 interconnected anomalies. Each of them have their own special properties, but they clearly have some sort of bond. See below for documentation on each separate anomaly.

Item#: FUCKYOU-J-1
Level5
Containment Class:

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-FUCKYOU-J-1 is to be kept in a modified standard humanoid containment chamber, outfitted to its request. SCP-FUCKYOU-J-1 can be negotiated with, however, so especially absurd requests may not be necessary to fulfil. SCP-FUCKYOU-J-1 only stays at the Foundation out of its own willingness to do so, and containment is almost certainly impossible if this behavior ever changes.

Description: SCP-FUCKYOU-J-1 is a humanoid creature capable of extremely powerful reality bending. He appears to be roughly 20 years of age, caucasian, and black haired. He is somewhat passive, but only when his orders are listened to and executed. Testing reveals that his body is entirely indestructible, and is immune to absolutely all forms of damage. SCP-FUCKYOU-J-1 has agreed to testing and research done on him.

Interview Log

Interviewed: SCP-FUCKYOU-J-1

Interviewer: Dr. M█████ [Shortened to Dr. M throughout the log for brevity]

<Begin Log>

SCP-FUCKYOU-J-1: Greetings, Dr. M.

Dr. M: Woah, what!? How do you know my name?

SCP-FUCKYOU-J-1: I know more than you may think.

Dr. M: What exactly do you mean by that?

SCP-FUCKYOU-J-1: You'll find out when the 13 of the above become arranged to the and of…

Dr. M: Interesting. A cryptic message.

SCP-FUCKYOU-J-1: By the way, I caused the Indian Ocean Tsunami.

Dr. M: I see.

SCP-FUCKYOU-J-1: I just thought I should tell you, y'know?

Dr. M: Of course.

SCP-FUCKYOU-J-1: I'm also from the future.

Dr. M: Oh really? What's it like there?

SCP-FUCKYOU-J-1: ████ ██████ ██████████ ████ ██████████ ███ ██████ ██████ ███████ ████ ██████ █████.

Dr. M: Wow! Incredible!

SCP-FUCKYOU-J-1: And that's not all!

Dr. M: What else do you have to tell us?

[3 hours of highly beneficial information shared by SCP-FUCKYOU-J-1 redacted for brevity.

Dr. M: Alright, I'll get them to try that on 682 immediately. I hope it really does kill him like you say!

SCP-FUCKYOU-J-1: Believe me, it will!

Dr. M: Anything else?

SCP-FUCKYOU-J-1: I'm afraid that's it… For now…
