SCP-XXXX: Chatterbox


Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be stored in a soundproofed room inside of a standard item lockbox. Access to SCP-XXXX is only permitted for personnel with Level 3 clearance or higher with intent to further study its effects. No individuals that suffer from SCP-XXXX's effects are allowed access to the item.

Personnel that are exposed to SCP-XXXX's effects must immediately report to site medical staff to be given a prescription for standard tranquilizer pills. Affected staff are to be constantly accompanied by a secondary researcher to both study and care for their episodes.

Description: SCP-XXXX appears to be a novelty wind-up chattering teeth toy, with the only notable change being the absence of a manufacturer displayed on the item. While not being active, SCP-XXXX displays no anomalous properties. Upon winding the item, SCP-XXXX will begin to chatter and its effects will manifest in nearby humans.

After hearing the item chatter, the listener will begin to suffer from a severe case of logorrhea. During this state affected individuals will typically talk about SCP-XXXX, teeth, wind-up toys, oral and dental care, and dentists. Along with this, it is common for the individual to eventually begin talking about personal experiences and their current surroundings until eventually fainting approximately 1 hour after initial exposure. The effects of SCP-XXXX will subside after fainting. After completely subsiding, the effects of SCP-XXXX will manifest approximately 48 hours after fainting. As of now, there is no way to permanently remove the condition, however, it is possible to shorten the length of the episode by prematurely losing consciousness through any means.

Dr. Gantz: Well Doctor, I assume you know what this interview is for. I approximately 2 minutes you will have another episode. When this occurs, I want you to answer the questions I have on the paper in front of you. Please make sure you articulate the question you’re answering.

Dr. Fowle: I will do my best.

Dr. Gantz: Great. If at any point you feel uncomfortable you may use the knock-out pill to your left.

Dr. Fowle: Noted, anyways, I guess I have to answer these questions now so I’m gonna go ahead and do that, okay first one is ‘Do you feel any particular way as your episode begins’ and to that I say I don’t really feel anything too strange aside from the sudden compulsion to speak constantly but I’m sure you already knew that didn’t you, yeah of course you knew that everyone working on this project knew that, do you think my teeth look okay because when I last checked in the mirror my teeth sort of had a coat of something over them and it’s kinda gross but I don’t know if I was just seeing things or what, oh man I forgot about the questions, okay question 2 is ‘Do you feel any sort of attachment to SCP-XXXX’ and I mean of course I do if by attachment you mean a cause and effect relationship but I assume you don’t because we already know that it caused this so that makes me think you're asking if I feel a compulsive need to be near it and I have to say when you see or hear it, get it because it really only works if you hear it, uh anyways yeah if you see or hear something so beautiful you can’t help but spill out praise to that wonderful set of chompers I mean I’m sure if you heard it too you’d act just like me and you’d really understand that this rambling is completely justified because it’s just that good, I think I should go to the dentist because I sort of get this pain in this tooth back there sometimes and I don’t know if I have a cavity or something and it’s kind of concerning me, and darn it I forgot the questions again, here we go again question 3 ‘Did you know that your teeth really are in bad condition’ I mean come on Doc you really have to do a better job brushing because let me tell you those teeth are not looking good you, and I may not be sure about me but you most definately need to see a dentist because those chompers aren’t looking too hot and I really think you have a cavity or something and I really am genuinely concerned about you health because as my co-worker I feel a bit of a connection to you because we’ve both been witness to some pretty crazy things and who knows one of those crazy things may have screwed up your teeth I mean I would hate to have to see you go because of some damn SCP, I mean those things suck except for SCP-XXXX that one is the best and I need to stop I need to stop I need to stop I gotta take the pill so those pearly whites don’t drive me nuts I have to sto- (At this time Dr. Fowle took the provided pill and promptly passed out.

Dr. Gantz: Dammit Fowle.
