A small tin soldier that changes it sizes depending on the distance between it and its owner.
SCP-XXXX in its original state.
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be always kept in a case made of ballistic glass, located at the centre of SCP-XXXX-1's chamber. SCP-XXXX-1 is to be kept in standard humanoid containment chamber, with appropriate amenities. Under no circumstance are SCP-XXXX and SCP-XXXX-1 to be separated by more than 400 metres.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a small solid metal object in the shape a toy soldier with an inscription at its base. Chemical composition analysis shows that the object is mainly made of tin, about 97%, with traces of aluminium, lead and iron. SCP-XXXX is, currently, 5.4 centimetres tall and has a mass 98 grams. SCP-XXXX has an extremely high resistance to blunt force and unusual resistance to heat, as it withstands temperatures up to 300oC.
SCP-XXXX changes its dimensions and mass proportionally to the distance from its owner, designated SCP-XXXX-1. The object does so by altering the physical properties of elements around it, changing them into the predominant element of its own composition to increase its size and mass. SCP-XXXX also alters its own composition to meet the otherwise unaltered state of the elements around it.
The object was found in ████████, Italy on ██/██/████, after being covered by a national news broadcast. At 13:14, a statue reportedly appeared out of nowhere and, according to witnesses, measured approximately 700 metres in height and increasing. At 13:27, the statue no longer increased in height. Despite the alarming situation, civilians were calm and at ease, which helped security set a perimeter around the object. At 13:57, MTF Iota-10 ("Damn Feds") were mobilised to SCP-XXXX's location and jurisdiction was given to the Foundation. Broadcast of the event was terminated. At 14:09, the statue had started to reduce in size. At 14:20, attempts at transporting were made however, due to the object's weight, they were unsuccessful. At 14:11, the object was 6.5 metres tall. Containment was in progress. At 14:13, SCP-XXXX-1 was apprehended for attempting to cross the perimeter set and for claiming to be the object's owner.
SCP-XXXX-1 is an adult female in her early thirties with no known relatives, that shows no anomalies other than her relation to SCP-XXXX. When arrangements where made for SCP-XXXX's containment, she requested that it'd be contained with a see-through material. When asked for the reason, SCP-XXXX-1 stated that the object is pleasing to look at and it has a calming effect on her. SCP-XXXX's anomaly was know to her, as she stated so on Interview-1A.
Interviewed: SCP-XXXX-1
Interviewer: Agent Alistair
Foreword: Prior to the containment of the object SCP-XXXX, a woman called Gianna Romano (later designated SCP-XXXX-1) was apprehended for crossing the perimeter set around SCP-XXXX. This woman claimed to be the owner of the object, therefore an interview to confirm these claims was arranged.
<Begin Log>, 14:37 ██/██/████
Agent Alistair: Hello, Ms. Romano. I apologise for the commotion regarding your house. I am Agent Alistair from the SCP Foundation, an organisation that investigates and contains the paranormal, and I'd like to talk to you about your claim to be the owner of this soldier figurine.
SCP-XXXX-1: Wait, what would you mean about the paranormal? Like ghouls and ghosts?
Agent Alistair: Like the statue that now stands as tall as me and nevertheless grew to around 90% of the Burj Khalifa's height.
SCP-XXXX-1: Oh! Yeah, that happened…
Agent Alistair: So you knew that the object could do such a thing?
SCP-XXXX-1: It happened once before, but in a smaller scale of course. (She chuckles) The statue you are talking about is actually a small toy, it fits in your hand!
Agent Alistair: Maybe we can test that.
(The Agent requested that SCP-XXXX-1 could be brought near SCP-XXXX. The object shrunk when SCP-XXXX-1 was in the vicinity. The object then was contained in a plastic case and reallocated to the room where the interview was occuring.)
Agent Alistair: When and how did you come to find such thing could happen?
SCP-XXXX-1: It was the most bizarre thing I've seen! I got robbed by an idiot with a bike. After he took my purse, I tried to call the police, but before that I heard a crash. I think he was a quarter of a mile far.
Agent Alistair: Was it then that you saw the toy changing?
SCP-XXXX-1: Yeah! I saw was my Tin Soldier lying on the ground bigger than a car! I started to run to get it back, but the closer I got, the smaller it got.
Agent Alistair: Ms. Romano, I thank you for your cooperation. Someone will be here shortly to inform you of your newfound situation.
SCP-XXXX-1: What do you mean "newfound situation"? Am I in trouble?
(Agent Alistair left the room. SCP-XXXX-1 became agitated for a moment but calmed down with the presence of SCP-XXXX)
<End Log>, 14:49 ██/██/████
Closing Statement: SCP-XXXX-1's claims were proven and after the interview she was told about her status and how she would remain in the Foundation's custody. Arrangements were made for a room in Site-██.
Incident Log
**Incident Log XX/XX-3
Foreword: On ██/██/████ at 18:32, an unidentified male (later designated PoI-XXXX-2) appeared, via (presumably) anomalous means, in SCP-XXXX-1's containment chamber. The entity interacted with SCP-XXXX-1 and had the intent to obtain SCP-XXXX when the same started to behave uncharacteristically, growing and shrinking . This was deemed containment breach and security was mobilised to SCP-XXXX-1's cell.
<Begin Log> [18:32]
(PoI-XXXX-2 appears seemingly out of nowhere. He loses balance and grabs a chair, then directs himself towards SCP-XXXX-1)
PoI-XXXX-2: Are you Gianna Romano?
SCP-XXXX-1: No one told me they were doing test tod- Wait, who are you?
PoI-XXXX-2: I'm the person that made that Tin Soldier, and I came to get it back. I need to get it back. It was an accident that it got into your hands.
(SCP-XXXX-1 slowly moves towards SCP-XXXX's case, getting between PoI-XXXX-2 and the object. SCP-XXXX starts to behave erratically, growing and shrinking at random intervals.)
SCP-XXXX-1: What are you talking about?
PoI-XXXX-2: I'm talking about that blasted soldier figurine behind you. Didn't your mother tell you were it came from when she gave it to you?
SCP-XXXX-1: How did you know it was my mother's?
PoI-XXXX-2: Because I was the one that made it, I already said that. Stop wasting time and let me get the bloody toy!
(PoI-XXXX-2 advances towards the centre of the room, pushing SCP-XXXX-1 to the side.)
SCP-XXXX-1: Ow! You idiot, get away from that case. You can't get it out anyways, it's made of bulletproof glass.
(PoI-XXXX-2 mutters unintelligibly and proceeds to continuously strike SCP-XXXX's case with a hammer. Containment Breach alarms were triggered and SCP-XXXX's behaviour become more frantic.)
SCP-XXXX-1: Pazzo bastardo! Stop it! You can't take it away from me, it all I have from him!
(SCP-XXXX-1 lunges herself to PoI-XXXX-2, taking him down and stealing his hammer. SCP-XXXX-1 throws a faint swing at PoI-XXXX-2. At the same time, security arrived at -1's cell, after which PoI-XXXX-2 freed himself. Security entered and PoI-XXXX-2 disappeared simultaneously.)
<End Log> [18:39]
Postword: SCP-XXXX was recovered with only -1 having suffered light injuries. SCP-XXXX's erratic behaviour was not seen after the incident. Investigations in order to find PoI-XXXX-2's identity are in order and security around SCP-XXXX has increased.
Sad Note of SCP-XXXX
(That definitely needs to be dialled down.)
After Incident XX/XX-3, -1 was interrogated about the events that had transpired, more specifically her persistence to safe-keep SCP-XXXX. Her response was to request a search for a note relating to SCP-XXXX. The small note bellow was addressed to SCP-XXXX-1.
Dear Gianna,
For all the pain that I have brought upon you and your mother and for my inability to be the parent you deserved, I am truly and deeply sorry. What I have done can't be forgotten and I do not expect you to forgive me. I just hope that you know that it wasn't your fault. Your father gave up his live for you to have a normal life. It was his choice. I resent neither of you for that, but I am also made a choice to bring him back.
After I left, hours were spent on working out a way to bring your father and when hope was lost, a strange person helped me create this small toy soldier imbued with your father's soul. I know it sounds crazy, but I can feel him in that toy soldier!
Whenever you feel sad or angry, when you feel as if your world is caving in, simply hold this small toy close to your heart and you will soon be better. This tin soldier is my parting gift to you. He will watch over you, no matter where you are.
Goodbye.
- Your mother, ███████
A beautiful clock adorned with the figure of a lady. If you hear it chiming you become entranced, or so we thought..?
Item#: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: The object is to be kept in a two by two by four cubic metres cell, constructed of cement, lined with sound-proof material and must also be isolated from the holding area. Personnel assigned to SCP-XXXX's maintenance must wear soundproofing gear at all times.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a grandfather clock, made of SCP-XXXX-1, a red marble base and SCP-XXXX-2, a statue depicting a lady holding a pendulum, measuring 3.3 metres in height. Both SCP-XXXX-1 and SCP-XXXX-2 have separate anomalous properties, however they always work in tandem. Due to SCP-XXXX's nature, triggering SCP-XXXX-2 without SCP-XXXX-1 has been met with failure
See Experiment Log - XXXX-ST1AOP.
SCP-XXXX-1 only known anomaly at the time, is that the object synchronises every other measure of time in its vicinity to itself. The object also This effect is better noted on, but not exclusively, other clocks. When SCP-XXXX-1 strikes 12, SCP-XXXX-2's pendulum begin to move, emitting a loud sound, characteristic of other objects like it. When SCP-XXXX-2 is heard, the listener will cease all actions and remain in a "frozen" state, unresponsive to any and all stimuli. This state is then followed by the listener following previous actions backwards.
The object was found in Alabama after the local police apprehended the culprit of a vehicle theft near the town of McMullen, at 00:07, ██/██/20██. When the authorities arrived the town, they were met with the stolen vehicle reversing. The vehicle was recovered with the front completely broken front. Investigations regarding structural damage lead to an unclear reason to the vehicle damage. This incident came to the Foundation's attention after a news-broadcast on a local channel, covering the abnormal behaviour the authorities met after questioning the locals. Witnesses claim that the townsfolk were unresponsive and started to walking backwards.
A Field Research Team was sent to check the rumours and on ██/██/20██, MTF Epsilon-6 ("Village Idiots") were mobilised to the location to contain the story and recover SCP-XXXX. The news-broadcast and the rumours regarding McMullen were dismissed as hoax. No other anomalies were reported after containment.
The following is an transcript of a Video Log of Researcher ██████'s last test on SCP-XXXX, moments before the incident:
Experiment Log - XXXX-ST1AOP
Begin Video Log:
[11:56] Researcher ██████: Is this on?
(Voices are heard from behind)
[11:56] Researcher ██████: Oh! Ahem. This is Experiment XXXX-ST1AOP, where we will attempt to better understand SCP-XXXX's anomalous properties, and perhaps let us understand its stasis effect on living things.
[11:57] (Another person asks Researcher ██████ to put on his soundproof gear)
[11:57] Researcher ██████: Sure thing, just let me finish this. We will be testing what we already know of it and then we will try to stop -1. (Turning to the researchers behind) I have a good feeling about this. D-XXX1! Could you please come forward and just wait until it starts chiming.
[12:00] (SCP-XXXX-2 then proceeds to emit its characteristic sound and D-XXX1 enters in stasis.)
[12:00] (They now communicate in sign language.)
[12:01] Researcher ██████: Just before he starts "rewinding" can someone punch him really hard on the face? I want to check something…
[12:02] (An assistant nods and proceeds to punch D-XXX1. Assistant grunts in pain and shouts expletives.)
[12:02] Researcher ██████: D-XXX1 has no signs of trauma. Are you okay?
[12:03] Assistant Researcher ████: He broke his hand.
[12:03] Researcher ██████: Sorry, but I had to see what happened. He has no trauma! Look!
[12:04] (D-XXXX-1 begins "rewinding" and Researcher ██████ instructs D-XXX2 and D-XXX3 stop the clock. They nod and proceed to do so.)
[12:04] (Video feed is lost seconds later.)
[12:04] Researcher ██████: This is an unprecedent! Not only were we able to stop -1, -2 is moving its head! Wait. Can anyone else hear that?
[12:05] (An increasingly louder sounds is emitted, presumably from SCP-XXXX-2, akin to a female vocalisation of terror)
[12:05] (Audio feed is lost)
[12:08] (Audio feed is restored. Only the sound of SCP-XXXX-1 functioning is heard.)
Closing Statement: After the incident, the research team, D-Class personnel and security mobilised for the experiment were declared MIA. The Video Log shows strong evidence that -2's effect, although sound based, is not hypnotism. Further testing is required to understand its effects, but denied until the research team and security are found.
A Serpent's Hand version of Lady and her Clock, one that might allow me to be more flowery in terms of wording.
The Verdandi
The Lady lost in Time, The Lady and her Clock, Horloge de la Dame
Nornir or Norns.
The three fates of Scandinavian mythology, Past, Present, and Future. They spin the events of human life sitting under the ash-tree Yggdrasil. As Urðr, the elder sister, represents the past and the aspect of fate, and her sister, Skuld, represents the future, Verðandi represents the present.
A previously unnamed grandfather clock, now bears the name of the Norn of present. A heavy burden, but one it carries effortlessly, as the Verdandi presents us just that: the now, in it's most simple yet profound way.
The Verdandi - One the few Farcot conical pendulum clocks in pristine conditions
Traits: The Verdandi is a 10 feet tall, beautifully crafted grandfather clock with a base of rouge griotte marble adorned with gold fixtures and a polished brass sculpture of a woman holding a long pendulum with a large sapphire at its end. It is not animate, despite how it is referred.
Both the base clock and the statue on top are supposedly hand made by a renowned clock-maker. The statue is mostly hollow and hypothesised to contain the mechanism that moves the pendulum. On the other hand, the inner mechanisms of that clock are more complex and precise to any other clockwork that came into our hands. The same clockwork has a peculiarity, while other grandfather or grandmother clocks chime every hour, this one chimes every twelve hours.
Nature: Since they are two distinct objects, they have distinct properties. The clock has a compulsive effect that corrects every clock in its vicinity
The statue's effect is more dominant sentient creatures, more specifically, those who can hear. This object's pendulum, when moved, will produce a sound characteristic of others of its kind, however, for those unlucky to listen to said sound they will be frozen in time for a few minutes after which they will start undoing their previous actions until a certain point, for a long amount of time, estimated to be 10 hours.
History & Associated Parties: Eugéne Farcot, French clock-maker, inventor, mechanical-engineer, aeronaut, occasional writer and one of the most celebrated conical pendulum clock makers. There are more clocks like the Verdandi, however that latter was possibly his magnum-opus. It is unknown if Farcot had assistance in producing the clock, and since Farcot has passed away, the clock has no custodian as of time of writing this document.
Approach: From what is known of the Verdandi, only those who listen the sound of the pendulum become frozen in time and seeing as the clock is what governs the statue's pendulum, we are able to escape the Verdandi's clutches. Those who see themselves studying this object must take care in protect their ears. Due to our lack of knowledge about the base clock regarding, its paranormal effect on other measures of time, it must be noted that the Verdandi's clockwork is to be handled with extreme care.
In the remote case of someone becoming frozen due to the Verdandi's effect, it was noted that whispering the excerpt of an old poem reduces the time taken to return to a normal state: Þaðan koma meyjar/ margs vitandi/ þrjár, ór þeim sal/ er und þolli stendr;/ Urð hétu eina,/ aðra Verðandi,/ skáru á skíði,/ Skuld ina þriðju;/ þær lög lögðu,/ þær líf kuru/ alda börnum,/ örlög seggja.
The Verdandi was located in the small town of McMullen in the state of Alabama, where in said town only lived 66 people, now reduced to 10. It's believed that Farcot chose this place a long time ago for the simple fact that his vision could be shaped in silence and solitude. That same town was then preserved for many a year, all thanks to the Verdandi.
The Verdandi is truly vain, it wants to be heard, and that's what Farcot had envisioned. - The Author
Although knowledge flows from every word in the Library, none are able to ascertain the Verdandi effect on our reality, more specifically space-time. It is theorised that the clock, besides being the most accurate measure of time, may be in fact the fourth dimension itself. The implications of messing with the complex clock-work could result nothing, or alterations beyond our belief. We must study carefully that which we do not know, but poking the bear and not expecting to be mauled would be very unwise.
