Ideas

I don't have any other ideas yet. I still want to publish something. Maybe a tale about something. A short joke tale?

Guitar (Shelved)

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is stored in a standard acoustic guitar case. The case is to be kept in the Site-19 staff break room. No special permissions are needed to access SCP-XXXX. No negative side effects have been observed when using SCP-XXXX.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a standard ██████ dreadnaught acoustic guitar. But whenever anyone picks it up to play it, the player can play whatever tune, riff, or song they want, without knowing how to play guitar or the song. They know all the lyrics, but SCP-XXXX does not give the player the ability to sing well. Testing shows that they cannot remember how they did what they did, and cannot repeat the riffs on a normal guitar, unless they knew it beforehand.

SCP-XXXX was stored in the attic of Mr. and Mrs. █████ from ███████ █████, Oklahoma until its anomalous properties were discovered when they had given the guitar to their grandson so he could learn to play. Once he sat down with the guitar in his lap, he instantly began executing Free Bird by Lynyrd Skynyrd perfectly. Mobile Task Force ETA-11 "Savage Beasts" responded to a "talent show" in ████████, Oklahoma on ██/██/20██, where a thirteen-year-old boy was playing anything the audience requested when he had never picked up a guitar before that Monday. SCP-XXXX was discovered at the site and the audience was given Class-D amnesiacs. Mr. and Mrs. █████ said they had bought the guitar at a yard sale in 20██, but didn't know where the sale was anymore.

Experiment Log:

• Experiment-1 04/24/2017 Subject was D-3468. Has basic knowledge of the guitar and knows a few chords. Was requested to play Eruption by Van Halen on SCP-XXXX. Subject performed song exceedingly well, despite claiming to have never seen tablature for the song.

• Experiment-2: 04/30/2017 Subject was D-3510. Had never played guitar before. Was requested to play Lay My Burdens by Disciple. Subject played the song perfectly but he sang it a bit flat. Despite claiming to have never even heard of the band before, he performed quite well.

• Experiment-3: 06-06-2017 Subject was Dr. Osburn. He played a set of various songs¹ in the staff break room to much applause at the end.

Final Note:

Man! If I had known about this skip back when I was young, I would've gone into the music business and made millions!
—Dr. Osburn

Tale 1

"If I have to do that again, I'm going to quit!" yelled John.
"You can't just quit!" yelled Derrick. "D-Class can't quit!"
"I don't care! I want out of here!"
"What's going on?" asked the guard as he stepped into the cell. "Do I need to separate you two?"
"No sir," replied John.
"Good to hear," the guard said. "You two have been reassigned to SCP-173."
"What?" Derrick asked. "Did you say, SCP-173?"
"Yes," the guard said as he began to walk out.
"What does that mean?" Derrick asked.
"You'll clean up its cell twice a week," the guard said as he closed the cell door.
