Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: The exterior of SCP-XXXX is to kept in a derelict and seemingly abandoned state. Doors and windows are to be fully boarded up. The public side road leading to SCP-XXXX is to be redirected.

All personnel and equipment entering SCP-XXXX are to be closely monitored and removed from SCP-XXXX at least 15 minutes prior to a SCP-XXXX-2 event. SCP-XXXX-1 is not to leave SCP-XXXX.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a Blockbuster store located in a remote forested area of ████████, ███████. The signage on the exterior has been removed by the Foundation, leaving its outside appearance as a nondescript, derelict concrete building. The interior of the store contains several shelves displaying VHS cassettes available for rent, and a store counter behind which SCP-XXXX-1 is found.

SCP-XXXX-1 is an approximately 20 years old human wearing a Blockbuster employee uniform. It claims to be ███████ ██████████, who passed away in a car accident in 19██1. SCP-XXXX-1 is calm and amicable, but as of yet has proven incapable of providing substantial information regarding the nature of SCP-XXXX.

The VHS cassettes available for rental within SCP-XXXX vary greatly in release year2, however their condition is as pristine as if they were newly made. Notably, all the movies available have had their cover and contents altered in various ways3.

Every six hours a SCP-XXXX-2 event will occur. The entirety of SCP-XXXX, including everything inside the building, will freeze in place for a brief moment. After that all affected objects and individuals will rapidly rewind all actions performed in the last six hours, over the course of 7-14 seconds. While rewinding objects and individuals will phase through any and all physical matter to maintain a perfect reversal of their original actions. If phased into matter at the end of the rewind, [REDACTED].

People affected by the rewind lose all memories of what happened during the 6 hours that were rewinded. SCP-XXXX-1 is always affected by the rewind even if removed from SCP-XXXX, resetting its position behind the store counter and removing all memories. SCP-XXXX-2 cannot be stopped in any way, and will rewind any damages sustained by SCP-XXXX or SCP-XXXX-1.

VHS cassettes removed from SCP-XXXX are not affected by SCP-XXXX-2 while outside the building. At the end of each SCP-XXXX-2 event, the shelves are all restocked with new VHS cassettes during a brief jitter of the entire building. This jitter appears similar to glitching effects on screen when using VHS players.
