So this is my first entry of any kind on this website (or any website, really), I just want to improve my creative writing skills and pique my interest in the abnormal at the same time. I did this in a few hours and I hope to continue with this one for a bit. I researched a lot of the etiquette for this type of writing and proofread as well, but I may have missed some things, so please be kind lol. Any suggestions, comments, or criticisms are totally welcome!
Item: SCP - XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures:
SCP - XXXX is to be moved from glass cylindrical bowl to plastic spherical bowl every Sunday at 3:45PM by means of robotic carbon-steel arms, viewing through one-way mirror. Each bowl must have 14 small green seaweed clusters, freshly harvested, as well as three small hollow chests for SCP - XXXX to sleep in. SCP - XXXX also demands 35 purple rocks and 33 pink rocks to lay at the bottom of each bowl. In the room of containment, four televisions (one in each corner of the room) are to be playing different scenes of constant gratuitous violence. Audio must remain at a minimum of 90 dB, unless in an interview, in which 30 dB is permitted.
Description:
SCP-XXXX is two fish that closely resemble betas, calling themselves "Barry" and the other "Michael", as well as an eidolonic copy of Michael. Physically different, Barry is a smaller fish at 1.89 cm long, tan-colored with pinkish-red accents and a deeply-forked spiny tail. Michael is dark indigo, 2.36 cm long, and has a wispy biconcave tail. Physical activity form SCP - XXXX occurs only at 7:37 AM EST and 7:37 PM EST, to move from the center of the bowls to their beds in the morning, and from their beds to the center of their bowls in the evening. These activities do not correlate with their telepathic speech ability nor when they decide to use it.
SCP - XXXX is capable of telepathic speech through two voices, one seemingly originating from each corporeal fish. They can only use both voices simultaneously, while most often speaking different words, phrases, or sentences. The organisms can speak and comprehend French, English, German, Italian, Japanese, and Mandarin Chinese. They will not use different languages simultaneously unless the person being spoken to can understand both languages. Other languages will not illicit a response. Responding can only be done through speaking aloud, no matter the distance from SCP - XXXX as long as conversation has been initiated.
Both voices are different, Barry's voice is comparable to a 50 year old male with low pitch and gravel. Michael's voice and mannerisms when speaking indicate a male in their early 20's with a clear, bourgeoisie tone. Both, however, indicate a high intelligence. SCP - XXXX's capacity to speak is limited to one person at a time, for an indefinite amount of time. It cannot switch whom it is speaking to unless the individual expires. The individual it switches to must be within sight of one of the fish during the “initiation”.
The phantasmal copy of Michael has not been mentioned nor recognized by SCP - XXXX, and has only been viewed on camera. It is not known how old SCP - XXXX is, where they came from, or how they are sentient.
Discovery:
SCP - XXXX was discovered in a Minnesotan suburbial home in late 2017. The location was a grisly scene with one 14 year-old boy and his parents disemboweled in the kitchen, while SCP - XXXX sat on the kitchen table in a spherical plastic bowl, swimming in blood. The family had been dead for 3 days, but phone calls were reported to be promptly answered by both the husband and the wife. Physical evidence showed they were already dead for 48 hours during the time of the reported phone calls.
Police officer [REDACTED] moved the fish into a clean cylindrical tank in the boy's room immediately upon entry of the kitchen and discovery of the scene, leaving a bloody foot-trail showing their whereabouts.
Realization of SCP - XXXX's involvement to agent [REDACTED] and their partner, agent [REDACTED] became known shortly after the police officer had been discharged for tampering with evidence, and obstruction of justice. Contained without issue by MTF Lambda-12 “(Pest Control)”, SCP - XXXX was promptly taken to Area 12 and remains there unless circumstances with Dr. Rosenthal change.
Addendum XXXX.1
An interview took place with Dr. Rosenthal as the interviewee at his request, saying he has been "initiated" by SCP - XXXX. Dr. Rosenthal had not left his office for three days due to his apparent paranoia. After rambling to several security officers, he was placed in a simple type-2 containment harness and placed in a temporary holding cell until Dr. Lombardi, Rosenthal's superior, was available.
The interviewer is a colleague and peer to Dr. Rosenthal, Dr. Lombardi.
L: Hello, Dr. Rosenthal. Can you please state for the recording why you have had this sudden outburst?
R: Hi…uhm, yes, I have been wanting to meet with you because I am being [heavy swallow, followed by several seconds of silence] being spoken to by SCP - XXXX
L: What makes you think that?
R: Initially I had no idea. I just started hearing voices. I hear them in my head, but I can't speak back to them in my head. I can only respond vocally.
L: Can you provide details on what it is telling you?
R: Yes, [strained pause] I believe it will allow me to do that.
—Dr. Rosenthal explained that the voices he is hearing come from the fish, both at the same time and thus far without exception. After explaining the qualities/temperaments of each voice, he explained the content of their conversation. It took about an hour to explain other minute details. They have made requests to changes in their living arrangements. All of the requests have been in unison regarding the number and color of rocks, seaweed plants, and chest-beds, but differed when noting the shape of their bowl. Dr. Rosenthal then began to run his fingers through is greyed hair in distress.
L: Dr. Rosenthal, are you alright?
R: Hardly, they haven't stopped speaking since they started, and now they are arguing!
L: About wh-
R: The goddamned shape of their bowl!
L: Can they hear me?
R: Yes they can fucking hear you. They hear me, you, and whatever is close to their bowl or myself. When they aren't complaining about what type of fucking bowl they live in, they just talk about disgusting, horrible things.
L: I'm sorry, slow down. What disgusting things?
R: They keep talking about the boy. The boy the boy the boy the boy t-
L: That's enough for today, Doctor. I'm sorry you're going through this.
—Upon beginning to rise from his chair, Lombardi's wrist is grabbed by Dr. Rosenthal.
R: Stop. They have one more request.
L: What is that?
R: They want access to those disgusting things. They said it will calm them down. Please, just give it to them.
L: Don't worry, I'll do what I can.
The televisions, along with the other amenities were installed in the following days. According to Dr. Rosenthal, the more that the demands were adhered to, the less irritable and more hospitable the voices became. After two weeks in the holding cell, Dr. Rosenthal was released while assigned two security officers at all times.
Addendum XXXX.2-8: [REDACTED] (unfinished but i have ideas lol)
