Drip Drop draft V1.0, by Communist Spider

NOTE: This is done on mobile, I’ll format it properly when I can access my pc later. Special containment procedures: scp-xxxx is to be kept in a video monitored sealed steel containment unit lined with sound absorbing material no less than 12 inches thick. The containment unit is to be guarded by no less than 2 members of MTF Eta-11 (“Savage Beasts”) at all times. No audio recording or monitoring devices are to be placed in the containment unit. Under no circumstances is the unit to be opened without a unit of MTF Eta-11 present and all onsite staff equipped with noise-cancelling, non-removable headgear. In the event of an on-site containment breach, all audio monitoring or recording devices are to be immediately disabled until the breach has been recontained and all onsite staff are confirmed unaffected by scp-xxxx. Description: scp-xxxx is a dilapidated sink and faucet. Liquid continuously drops from the faucet at a steady rate of approximately 1 drop every 2 seconds. This liquid continues to drip at the same rate at all times, even when scp-xxxx is disconnected from a water source. All attempts to block the faucet of scp-xxxx always result in the liquid manifesting at the same rate on the other side of the object used to block it, no matter what is used. Liquid produced by scp-xxxx is chemically identical to average tap water, however, it is opaque, black, and becomes viscous when in contact with anything other than scp-xxxx. Whenever said liquid hits the sink portion of scp-xxxx, the noise it makes is roughly twice as loud as would be expected. All liquid always enters and subsequently disappears within scp-xxxx’s drain, which does not lead to any known location. Whenever a human with the ability to hear, comprehend sound, and experience hallucinations comes into auditory range of scp-xxxx, they are known as scp-xxxx-2. Over the course of approximately 48 hours, known as the “dispersal phase,” scp-xxxx-2 instances become increasingly paranoid and anxious, and will seek out and attempt to join the largest nearby group of people. It is currently unknown if this is an effect of scp-xxxx or is simply a response to the psychological issues they are experiencing. Interviewees report experiencing auditory, and in some cases, visual hallucinations that become increasingly intense over the 48 hour period. See addenda for details. Approaching the end of the dispersal phase, scp-xxxx-2 specimens become very erratic and begin vocalizing in complete gibberish, before seizing up and becoming inert. After roughly 3-5 minutes of inactivity, scp-xxxx-2 will recite the following poem: “drip, drop, drip, drop, once you hear them, they won’t stop. Drip, drop, drip, drop, hear the little water drops. Drip, drop, drip, drop, if you fear them, you will drop. Drip, drop, drip, drop, fear the little water drops.” For 60 seconds following the poem, scp-xxxx-2 will enter the “infection phase,” during which it will anomalously vocalize noises consistent with those produced by scp-xxxx. Testing has shown that this occurs at the same time a drop of liquid hits scp-xxxx’s sink. However, the noise is amplified sixfold. Any humans in auditory range that meet the requirements will become scp-xxxx-2 instances. Once the infection phase is complete, scp-xxxx-2 will cease all brain function and perish. Testing has proven that the hallucinations and psychological effects, as well as the cognitohazardous effects produced by scp-xxxx and scp-xxxx-2 can be negated if powerful antipsychotics and/or anxiolytics are administered at an appropriate rate regularly during the dispersal phase. Drugs will not have an effect if treatment begins more than 6 hours after the beginning of the dispersal phase. Because of this, it is highly important that following any containment breach, all staff and civilians in nearby areas are immediately given full psychological evaluations.
Discovery: scp-xxxx was found in (blacksquares), Wales, following multiple reports of hallucinations and large numbers of separation anxiety cases by nearby hospitals. At first, scp-xxxx was considered a class-(blacksquare) mind-altering pathogen, due to affected individuals seeking out large groups of people. Because of this, MTF Beta-7 (“Maz Hatters”) was sent in to quarantine the area and attempt to find a source of the epidemic. Once MTF members began to report symptoms of scp-xxxx despite following all contagious substance containment protocol, scp-xxxx was redesignated an auditory cognitohazard, and MTF Eta-11 (“Savage Beasts”) was deployed to recover the source. Because scp-xxxx-2 instances were able to “infect” a number of civilans before successful containment was achieved, over (blacksquares) people died. See addenda for recovery logs. More coming soon. don’t judge this too harshly yet, fellow internet explorers. Please note that this is done on mobile, proper formatting will be done when I get to my computer later.
