SCP-____-J: Procrastinati

It’s a rock that makes you procrastinate.

Addendum: Probably memetic or something.

SCP-427: Lovecraftian Locket

SCP-427 is a small, spherical, ornately carved locket made of a polished silver material. SCP-427 was created after placing a pill of SCP-500 in the Input booth of SCP-914 and using the Fine setting. It displays no unusual activity when closed. When opened, a small glowing orb is visible at the center. The orb emits no radiation or energy aside from the visible spectrum. 

When SCP-427 is opened and exposed to biological tissue, it rapidly regenerates cellular damage and somehow is able to purge invading compounds or infections. However, long-term exposure produces a significant health hazard. SCP-427 slowly optimizes all biological systems of the user, eventually transforming them into a shapeless mass of tissue. 

The “Flesh Beasts” (so named due to their appearance) created by SCP-427 are incredibly aggressive, attacking any and all personnel on sight with lethal results. They are highly resistant to most known weaponry, but can be disabled with sufficient shock trauma or heat in excess of 1100 degrees Celsius (2000 degrees Fahrenheit). Intelligence cannot be accurately gauged, but mapping of biological enhancement of the brain as a direct relationship with optimization of other systems suggests IQ could be in excess of 400 when fully transformed. A transcription of dialogue between the active medical assistant on staff that was servicing D-073 as he transformed into a Flesh Beast can be found on the main article.

Anonymous asked: On the "Join the Site!" page, it says I applications aren't being accepted due to a Renaissance Faire. When will this change?

Huh. I recall it saying that several weeks ago. I guess either the Renaissance Faire went on a lot longer than they expected, or Dr. Bright forgot to change it back. Or maybe something else. Regardless, I’ll keep an eye on it and make a post when it opens back up.

SCP-335: One Hundred and Fifty 3.5” Floppy Disks

SCP-335 is a set of one hundred and fifty 3.5” floppy disks, each labelled with a number and a human name. A full list of all 150 names can be found in the main article. The storage capacity of each disk was determined to be immeasurably large, possibly infinite. It was eventually discovered that SCP-335 contains the entire contents of the Internet stored within its infinite storage space. It appears to have some sort of organizational system, with similar sites grouped together on the same disk. Experiment 335-007a showed that when content on the Internet is changed, the content on the corresponding disk changes to match. 

Of note is that the first twelve disks appear to contain all of the pornography on the internet, disks 85, 86, and 101 contain image hosting websites like Imageshack and Photobucket, disk 30 seems to contain the Google home page and nothing else, disk 119 has millions and millions of emoticons, and disk 13 has the entirety of Wikipedia.

SCP-[even number]-J: An [Adjective] [Noun]

Followers, I present to you Mad-Libs, The SCP Foundation Edition.

I’ve gotten a couple questions about whether or not it is alright to make roleplaying SCP tumblrs, and I’d like to answer them with this general post.

Let me first point out that I am not a spokesperson for The SCP Foundation, and anything I say is purely personal conjecture. However, I still feel like I should say something in this regard, as there are an ever-increasing number of these blogs appearing on tumblr.

As far as I can tell, the senior staff appears to be okay with roleplaying blogs as long as you follow a few easy rules. Firstly, don’t claim to actually be the SCP Foundation or to speak for them. This is best done with a disclaimer (like the one I made earlier in this post). Secondly, don’t write anything that doesn’t fit within the Foundation universe. If you need a good example of what not to do, check out SCP-4444-J. It is a Gaia Online guild that was popular when The SCP Foundation first came about and was quickly filled with writing that was not at all consistent with the Foundations general themes and rules.

Lastly, I’ll break down how I would approach running different kinds of rp blogs.

• Existing SCP’s: This is probably okay, but you might want to try and get the permission of the original author first. However, that part is optional.
• Original SCP’s: I wouldn’t do these. If you have an idea for an SCP, just write it up and submit it to the site. (Although you might be better off getting a couple critiques from forum users before posting it.)
• Existing non-SCP characters (e.g. Clef, Kondraki, Gears, etc): I definitely wouldn’t do these without the express approval of the authors. Nearly all of these characters are essentially being “roleplayed” already by their respective authors.
• Original non-SCP characters (e.g. Dr. Climacks and Dr. Drake): This would probably be the best kind of roleplay blog, as you can do a great variety of thing without worrying about angering anyone.

While I can speak neither with certainty nor authority, I believe that by following these guidelines, you will be able to run a roleplaying blog without getting into too much trouble. If you have any further questions, let me know!

Come on people. The site has a built-in search function. Here, I’ll even type it in for you.

SCP-966: Sleep Killer

SCP-966 are predatory creatures that resemble hairless, digitigrade humans, possessing an elongated face with a mouth lined with needle-like teeth. On each hand, they have five claws that can be up to 20 cm long. Although sharp, these are easily broken, making them unfit for combat. Physically, SCP-966 are weak, possessing hollow bones and low muscular density and are visible only to infrared light.

SCP-966 feed on medium-to-large sized animals, including humans. They hunt either alone or in pairs. Their hunting methods consist on emitting a single burst of a previously unknown type of wave (dubbed as ██████ waves, in honor of the late Doctor ██████), which permanently inhibits the ability of the affected creature to enter in any of the NREM and REM sleep stages. The ability to micro sleep is also lost. So far, all attempts to make victims of SCP-966 sleep have failed. After depriving their victims of sleep, SCP-966 will stalk their prey until the lack of rest incapacitates it. At this point, SCP-966 will proceed to consume it. SCP-966 have proved to be very agile and silent while stalking their victims. On occasion, they will deliberately make threatening noises around the prey in order to further stress it, and may even physically assault it if the victim proves to be particularly durable.

Wild instances of SCP-966 are found all over the world. Since their discovery in 19██, the Foundation has succeeded in greatly thinning their numbers, though they are still found in large quantities in █████ and █████ ███████.
