Night At The Museum: Idea

This SCP would be an event where a reality bender is employed as a cello performer of an orchestra for a performance at a museum dedicated to the fine arts. Despite obvious mental illness, his ambition for this position (he has wanted to be a musician since a young age) and some manipulation of the interviewer's mind gets him his position. However, he is not very good and would constantly be told to improve by his colleagues and the conductor. The reality bender’s mental stability would snap after being harshly criticized by a colleague that does not particularly like him. The reality bender causes the instruments to play themselves and attack the other performers (bassoons impaling the throat of the player, violins, violas, basses, and cellos would have the strings wrap around the throat of the player and choke them to death, etc) Because of this, all the players are killed as well as the conductor being eviscerated by the reality bender who caused batons to sprout from his internal organs. The museum is evacuated by authorities and the reality bender is hidden inside while the building is under siege by the local police. A raid by the local law enforcement is attempted, but fails and 15 local officers are killed. The siege continues. The GOC gets notified by a local agent and raids the compound after 14 days of siege from local law enforcement and kills the reality bender, but the orchestra, now the SCP-xxxx-A is unnoticed and left alone. 3 weeks later, after it is abandoned, the foundation investigates what happened and finds two things.

  • An orchestra that plays itself, that foundation personal have described as “one of the most spectacular things I’ve heard.” When exposed to the orchestra for more than 3 hours a day for 5 days, any mental illness the subject exhibited is now cured.
  • The journal of the reality bender is found hidden in a makeshift bedroom; the foundation adds it to the file as an addendum. The journal explains the mental illness the reality bender experienced and his fear and regret the days before the GOC killed him and the days leading up to it. It ends with a foundation psychologist commenting on the journal and diagnosing the now dead reality bender with schizophrenia, Borderline Personality Disorder, and clinical depression.

The foundation closes down the town and then amnestisizes the local population and finds any evidence, digital or physical in nature and destroys it (besides any evidence that belongs to the foundation, of course) to prevent the spread of knowledge of the anomalous.
