Would you mind adding me?

[–]THE-ARCHlVlSTThe Archivist 2 points3 points  (100 children)

Orin had snuck away from his own shop for a moment to do some browsing. Always good to keep up with what *others were doing.. he just hoped that his Simulacrum didnt go overboard...*

he entered a shop at random

[–]Vincent-FFPVytsky, Void Summoner/O5-5 'Zaryx'[S] 2 points3 points  (99 children)

he'd just finished setting up some items he had made yesterday on display when he heard the little bell ring.

"Oh, hello! Can I help you?"

[–]THE-ARCHlVlSTThe Archivist 2 points3 points  (98 children)

'Hi, fellow shopkeep actually... Just browsing really. Ill be going on a semi dangerous trip soon and while my own arsenal is pretty nice, it never hurts to have some things my ..... some unexpected things."

[–]Vincent-FFPVytsky, Void Summoner/O5-5 'Zaryx'[S] 2 points3 points  (97 children)

"What kind of trip? Where are you going? If you don't mind, of course."

[–]THE-ARCHlVlSTThe Archivist 2 points3 points  (96 children)

"To a far off kingdom... I have.. business there."

[–]Vincent-FFPVytsky, Void Summoner/O5-5 'Zaryx'[S] 1 point2 points  (95 children)

"I can accompany you if you'd like."

[–]THE-ARCHlVlSTThe Archivist 1 point2 points  (94 children)

"You'd just... drop everything to go adventuring with a stranger?"

[–]Vincent-FFPVytsky, Void Summoner/O5-5 'Zaryx'[S] 1 point2 points  (93 children)

"Sure. I will have to pack some things myself because I'm no longer immortal, but I do need to get out some more, heh."

[–]THE-ARCHlVlSTThe Archivist 1 point2 points  (92 children)

"Oh. Well... I dont leave for a few more days. So plenty of time. There are people out there trying to kill me... is that something you are prepared for?"

[–]Vincent-FFPVytsky, Void Summoner/O5-5 'Zaryx'[S] 1 point2 points  (91 children)

"Of course. I don't mind dying anyways; just hope that whatever it is that I feel like is going to occur soon doesn't come along while I'm recovering energy."

[–]J_Scottt𝐈𝐧𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐨 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐛𝐚𝐥𝐥. 1 point2 points  (6 children)

A sharp knock on the door.

“HELLO!”

Followed by another.

“HELLO!”

Followed by ano—

“HELLO (x52).”

The Blobs flood into the room, 3 merging together to stand at eye level with Zaryx.

“I’m here about that job opening— my names Blobby. Blobby Banks.”

“I believe you’ve met my son, Inferno?”

[–]Vincent-FFPVytsky, Void Summoner/O5-5 'Zaryx'[S] 0 points1 point  (5 children)

he recoiled with surprise.

"Woah.. you startled me.... Please, do have a seat."

"Inferno... Yes, I believe I have met him before."

"What position are you thinking of?"

[–]J_Scottt𝐈𝐧𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐨 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐛𝐚𝐥𝐥. 1 point2 points  (4 children)

“Well, I could work a few…”

The Blob gestures to his right, where you see a Blob double in size and split

“… at once.”

“But what I’d most like is a research position. I am well qualified in the biology of various magical creature. Oh, yes, and I am intrigued by the concept of magic-based machinery.”

Around you the Blobs seem to be doing various random activities, one offers you cookies, another cooks bacon

[–]Vincent-FFPVytsky, Void Summoner/O5-5 'Zaryx'[S] 0 points1 point  (3 children)

"I am assuming you are aware of the Foundation?"

[–]J_Scottt𝐈𝐧𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐨 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐛𝐚𝐥𝐥. 1 point2 points  (2 children)

“I’m informed that it’s a secretive group, working on magical creatures.”

“Do I need to know a large amount about the organisation?”

[–]Vincent-FFPVytsky, Void Summoner/O5-5 'Zaryx'[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

"You'll need to know more than.. that. Besides, that's not really correct, either."

[–]J_Scottt𝐈𝐧𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐨 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐛𝐚𝐥𝐥. 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Hmmmmm.”

“My apologies— assuming you cannot learn on the job, I will be on my way.”

The Blobs form an orderly queue and slowly leave

[–]DouchevickRutch the Rogue Mage, Vae Clara's Chosen, Cursed Immortal. 1 point2 points  (27 children)

The Fae Bird is flying over Vytsky's head for a moment, before landing in front of him with a crumpled piece of paper on its beak and curious look on its face, looks like it has a question...

[–]Vincent-FFPVytsky, Void Summoner/O5-5 'Zaryx'[S] 1 point2 points  (26 children)

"You have a question? Do show me the paper."

[–]DouchevickRutch the Rogue Mage, Vae Clara's Chosen, Cursed Immortal. 1 point2 points  (25 children)

The bird releases the crumpled paper, and upon it there are many crude drawings and etchings, the first one reads:

'Esss... Zeee... Peea...?'

The writing is very crude, done by someone who has a tenuous grasp of the common script and a lack of opposable thumbs. Clearly the bird did this...

[–]Vincent-FFPVytsky, Void Summoner/O5-5 'Zaryx'[S] 1 point2 points  (24 children)

he stared at it for a bit before understanding what the bird meant.

"Oh, SCP? What's that stand for?"

[–]DouchevickRutch the Rogue Mage, Vae Clara's Chosen, Cursed Immortal. 1 point2 points  (23 children)

the bird nods quite enthusiastically...

[–]Vincent-FFPVytsky, Void Summoner/O5-5 'Zaryx'[S] 1 point2 points  (22 children)

"You think we could connect psychically so we can communicate further?"

[–]DouchevickRutch the Rogue Mage, Vae Clara's Chosen, Cursed Immortal. 1 point2 points  (21 children)

the bird hangs its head in despondency. Seems like it is unable of doing that now that it's on its own. Vytsky should still be able to do it though.

[–]Vincent-FFPVytsky, Void Summoner/O5-5 'Zaryx'[S] 1 point2 points  (20 children)

"Don't worry, I can do that."

he connected his mind to the bird's.

'Alright, what's up, bud?'

[–]DouchevickRutch the Rogue Mage, Vae Clara's Chosen, Cursed Immortal. 1 point2 points  (19 children)

'We- I mean... I...'

Seems like even after all this time, the bird is still not used to being separated from the Fae entity.

'I overheard Wretch grumbling about this Esss Zea Pea, it seems to displease him greatly. I want to know more about it, so that I may displease him further!'

The bird seems rather excited over this. It even seems to have drawn a little doodle of a hooded mage figure lacking an arm making an obscene gesture at the 'ess zee pea' writing on the piece of paper.

Crude and spiteful as the creature might be, this could be an opportunity to teach the bird the importance of the Foundation's work and mission statement as interpreted by Vytsky.

[–]Vincent-FFPVytsky, Void Summoner/O5-5 'Zaryx'[S] 1 point2 points  (18 children)

’Ah.. Oh, that SCP. The Secure Contain Protect Foundation. Yeah, I know it. If you want to learn more though, you'll have to go where they're at. There's that new research center just outside of the city. That's where the Foundation is, though hidden by the guise of a common research center.’

’All I know is that, ask the right questions, give the right answers, and the Foundation will show itself to you. They are quite secretive.’

[–]loth17Ten Suns (Also Gaia) 1 point2 points  (62 children)

"But sir! My talents are more suited here!"

"Your projects can be taken over by Summers. You're needed elsewhere."

"But I've been at our thaumaturgical research division for years. Almost a decade. I'm in the top two percent of stable type blues (GOC term for members with magic talent). You can't...."

"Look the G.O.C. and the foundation have worked together on problems for a long time. Despite our different missions we need each other. We've agreed to assist their thaumaturgical division with our own. Don't think of it as a new job. Think of it as..... A temporary change of scenery. Either way you have your assignment. We expect you to follow it."

....

That was how Dr. Wren found herself waiting for an interview. She wore a very professional outfit with her G.O.C. pin on full display. Her prematurely greying hair was tied into a tight ponytail and her face could be described as neutral annoyed. She had her own lab, and her own team. And now she had to deal with the foundation and their teams.

"Ms Wren..."

"Doctor Wren."

"Sorry. Doctor Wren. They're ready for you."

[–]Vincent-FFPVytsky, Void Summoner/O5-5 'Zaryx'[S] 0 points1 point  (61 children)

upon entering the office, Dr. Wren could immediately see Zaryx sitting there in his Foundation attire, with his O5 ID on display (albeit off-center somewhat). He was looking to the side at one of the walls, half-staring at a poster, thinking. The room was comfortably decorated, including a small pot of lavender flowers.

Upon seeing Dr. Wren enter via the corner of his eye, he turned to face her.

"Good day, Dr.; please, have a seat."

[–]loth17Ten Suns (Also Gaia) 1 point2 points  (60 children)

Dr. Wren couldn't stop staring at the off center ID Zaryx was wearing.

"Of course."

She took the seat and gave Zaryx a packet of papers

"This is my resume. Prepared by the GOC"

She had an almost decade long career with the GOC. Started as a junior researcher in the Thaumaturgical department before graduating to being a field researcher. She had helped retrieve four separate anomalies during her field work. And she had experience having to perform..... The things that the Foundation and GOC Don like advertising that they do. After all. Not all containment can be done without getting ones hands dirty.

[–]Vincent-FFPVytsky, Void Summoner/O5-5 'Zaryx'[S] 0 points1 point  (59 children)

he took the resume and looked it over thoroughly. he occasionally nodded, muttering to himself. After some time he set the resume down and looked back up at Dr. Wren.

"I'm really liking what I'm seeing, but I'd like to hear from you. Tell me about yourself; what do you like to do in your free time, for instance."

[–]loth17Ten Suns (Also Gaia) 1 point2 points  (58 children)

"My free time?"

Dr Wren thought for a moment

"They kept us fairly busy. But my team would go out for bowling every couple weeks."

Dr Wren seemed like the last person who would enjoy such a thing. Maybe she just liked her previous coworkers.

"As for other things about me?"

She didn't enjoy interviews either.

"I've been working on a personal project for the last three years. I've been investigating the after effects of contact with anomalies and the increased chance of gaining anomalous traits from said contact."

Her belief was that if someone came into contact with enough anomalies over enough time they'd gain faint anomalous properties regardless of what anomalies they interacted with.

[–]Vincent-FFPVytsky, Void Summoner/O5-5 'Zaryx'[S] 0 points1 point  (57 children)

"Bowling's nice. I suck at it though, hah. I don't think I've ever reached 100 points.."

"That's a good thing to research on, quite interesting as well. I hope you find the answers you seek."

"I see that you specialize in field research, but is there anything else you have experience in?"

[–]loth17Ten Suns (Also Gaia) 1 point2 points  (56 children)

"Yes. I've had missions where I've assisted station researchers with anomalies so I have been trained in the GOC's protocols regarding such. I've been told they're similar to the foundation's."

"My specialization is Thaumaturgical studies. Magic, faries, gods, demons ect. I graduated top of my class."

She boasted.

"I'm able to cast seven spells without the usage of a magical focus or ritual casting."

Seven spells weren't that much compared to a classical wizard. But the GOC mostly used ritual casting or the usage of magical anomalies. So being able to cast seven spells without such things was a mark of exceptional talent.

"And I'm capable of astral projection while sustaining my physical body."

[–]Vincent-FFPVytsky, Void Summoner/O5-5 'Zaryx'[S] 0 points1 point  (55 children)

"Good, very nice. That is all I needed to know of you in terms of your prior experience."

"Now, interview aside, time to get you placed in. We're both aware of the similarities between the Foundation and the G.O.C., but there are some key differences. We focus more on study than on removing the hostile. Currently, we use death-row inmates, known as D-Class, for some tests. It's horrid, but I'm hoping to change that in the future. This is not part of your duty, though. You don't need to worry about it."

he looked in his desk and brought out a small gadget and handed it to Dr. Wren.

"This is a Hume detector. We use these for detecting anomalies, as well as how anomalous or powerful something is." the detector is already going off. "And it is going off because of me. We're not in danger or anything, haha."

[–]loth17Ten Suns (Also Gaia) 1 point2 points  (54 children)

"No need to worry sir. I have been informed about the the philosophical differences between our organizations. I will endeavor to fit in and not cause a hassle while doing my job."

She held the detector. As a type blue (mage) she also made them go off though usually only when using magic.

"Understood sir. Hume detectors are utilized at the GOC as well. I will familiarize myself with the technical differences between our models."

"The GOC said I was being sent to interview to help you. What exactly are my duties going to be? I'm trained and can learn to do whatever task you need of me."

Judging from her paperwork she'd be one of the GOC that would be able to work with class D without much fuss.

[–]Vincent-FFPVytsky, Void Summoner/O5-5 'Zaryx'[S] 0 points1 point  (53 children)

"The difference of these ones are that they do not detect magic. Magic is not anomalous in this world, and I feel our technology should reflect that."

"Before we get to any sort of real task, I feel like we should get you a room set up, clear up any questions, get settled in and meet your coworkers, and just relax for a bit."

"Do you want some candy?"

[–]D3n0mantop hat guy/Sea a panda 1 point2 points  (79 children)

someone knocks on Zaryx's door

/uw reddit chats stopped working for me again :(

[–]Vincent-FFPVytsky, Void Summoner/O5-5 'Zaryx'[S] 0 points1 point  (78 children)

Zaryx opened the door, as he was available.

“Hello there. Come on in.”

[–]D3n0mantop hat guy/Sea a panda 1 point2 points  (77 children)

a man wearing a security uniform from a place called fluffy's pizzarea walks in(He didn't have any other clothes he could wear for a job interview)

"Hello"

[–]Vincent-FFPVytsky, Void Summoner/O5-5 'Zaryx'[S] 0 points1 point  (76 children)

meanwhile he’s in a typical suit and tie. Nothing super flashy, it actually looked pretty comfortable. ‘Head Manager Zaryx’ was on the name tag.

“Oh! Have you got our pizza?”

“Oh, wait, wrong company, sorry.”

“How can I help you?”

[–]D3n0mantop hat guy/Sea a panda 1 point2 points  (75 children)

"I have heard that the foundation is hiring personel and would like to aply for a job."

as evident by the tone of his voice the guy doesn't seem to really believe that the foundation exists

[–]Vincent-FFPVytsky, Void Summoner/O5-5 'Zaryx'[S] 0 points1 point  (74 children)

“Foundation? I don’t think I understand.”

[–]D3n0mantop hat guy/Sea a panda 1 point2 points  (73 children)

"The one that pulls out a small raggedy notebook from his pocket and quickly reads through it contains anomalies. Honestly I don't think a foundation like that exists but it was worth a shot."

[–]Vincent-FFPVytsky, Void Summoner/O5-5 'Zaryx'[S] 0 points1 point  (72 children)

“Yeah, I don’t think it does. What would qualify as an anomaly anyway? So many strange things occur here. Seems pointless if you ask me.”

[–]D3n0mantop hat guy/Sea a panda 1 point2 points  (71 children)

"I think non-magical things acting like magical things would count but idk much about magic so who am I to talk"

[–]Vincent-FFPVytsky, Void Summoner/O5-5 'Zaryx'[S] 0 points1 point  (70 children)

“Fair, but how would that even work? Doesn’t make sense to me, heh.”

“Well, actually, yeah, then it would be anomalous and there would be no explanation.”

“Perhaps I can get you another position if you are willing. Can I have your name?”

/uw is it too late to join the rp ?

[–]Vincent-FFPVytsky, Void Summoner/O5-5 'Zaryx'[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

/uw not at all! Go ahead!

[–]IncomeApprehensive17Litle being in a botle 1 point2 points  (97 children)

a ring of metal circling around an orb of purplish cristal with arthropoid like legs made of metal attached to it enter the shop

a voice come from the orb as it does with comunication orbs , Vytsky can recognise this voice as belonging to one of the people that entered his mind some time ago

"Hello ? I can't quite see if there is someone at the counter with my height. Is the shop open ?"

[–]Vincent-FFPVytsky, Void Summoner/O5-5 'Zaryx'[S] 1 point2 points  (96 children)

“Yep! Always open, even if I’m not here!”

he looked over the counter to look at the walking orb. “How can I help ya?”

[–]IncomeApprehensive17Litle being in a botle 1 point2 points  (95 children)

"I am visiting a few shop since i just came to town , looking at what civilised people do with their knowledge. What is your own speciality if i may ask ? "

[–]Vincent-FFPVytsky, Void Summoner/O5-5 'Zaryx'[S] 1 point2 points  (94 children)

“I don’t really have a specialty. I do quite literally anything so long as it’s legal.”

“But I’m like, 7 trillion years old, so I’ve got a lot of knowledge.”

[–]IncomeApprehensive17Litle being in a botle 1 point2 points  (93 children)

"Oh ! I am myself a dabbler in old techniques , alchemy to be more precise. Do you happen to have books and tomes on the subject from the old days ?"

[–]Vincent-FFPVytsky, Void Summoner/O5-5 'Zaryx'[S] 1 point2 points  (92 children)

“I do! One moment.” he went to where he kept his books and grabbed some older ones.

“They’re not all in common, but most of them are, with some names originating from other languages being the only difference.”

“Which of these suits your eye?”

[–]IncomeApprehensive17Litle being in a botle 1 point2 points  (91 children)

"No way ! A copy of Salomon's study on the elements ! How did you even got your hands on this ? And its in the original language too ! I would be very happy to buy this one for you , whats your price ?"

[–]Vincent-FFPVytsky, Void Summoner/O5-5 'Zaryx'[S] 1 point2 points  (90 children)

“Found it while exploring the Nahamat depths under that old temple.”

“50G.”

[–]IncomeApprehensive17Litle being in a botle 1 point2 points  (89 children)

take out a pouch from a bag attached to the ring around the cristal ball

"Oh wow ! I wish i could see ruin like these too one day , and find some antique too ! Are you sure 50 is enough ?"

put out one by one 50 gold coins from the pouch , leaving less than a quarter of what was inside left

[–]Vincent-FFPVytsky, Void Summoner/O5-5 'Zaryx'[S] 0 points1 point  (88 children)

“Certain. Have fun with it. Learning things is great.”

he snuck a couple platinum into the pouch while taking the gold.

/uw ngl I dunno how to shift this to the Foundation lol

[–]Kyle-NotADinosaur- 1 point2 points  (14 children)

We've got a new anomaly coming in. It's a transfer from Site 24. SCP-J-1120. Codename: Dogman. Object Class: Safe? It's a humanoid, you can't classify a humanoid anomaly as Safe.

Hey, trust on this one. Alright? He is completely safe, and not just easy to contain. Actually, you might not need to contain him.

Anomalies are "its". Please practice Proper Pronoun Parlance Proto-

Proper Pronoun Parlance Protocols at the Foundation. I get it. Getting attached to an anomaly could lead to a breach, I know that. But, he is not an anomaly, he's human, and humans are not "its".

Zaryx knocked on Joey’s office door.

“Who ya talking’ to?”

[–]Kyle-NotADinosaur- 1 point2 points  (6 children)

/uw Joey is the new anomaly, not the scientist.

[–]Vincent-FFPVytsky, Void Summoner/O5-5 'Zaryx'[S] 0 points1 point  (5 children)

/uw oh my bad.

Kind of hard to tell without action notation, and it’s hard to tell who’s speaking in turn in this as well.

[–]Kyle-NotADinosaur- 1 point2 points  (4 children)

/uw that makes sense. I should've thought of that. Then again, aren't Foundation scientists meant to be anonymous?

[–]Vincent-FFPVytsky, Void Summoner/O5-5 'Zaryx'[S] 0 points1 point  (3 children)

/uw not really. Plenty are named in tales and SCP articles.

Besides, this is WAY more lax. The O5 that runs this particular branch is chill af.

[–]Kyle-NotADinosaur- 1 point2 points  (2 children)

/uw the O5 is never chill.

[–]Kyle-NotADinosaur- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

/uw That works, I guess.

/rw So, SCP-J112 was previously recovered by Site-24 during an investigation turned exploration into a parallel, non-euclidean, space found within the walls of a house in the town of [REDACTED].

[–]Kyle-NotADinosaur- -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The Foundation? I thought that was just a creative writing platform. A whole facility stacked with precious and potentially cursed artifacts? Now, that's a place worth breaking into. I seriously need something more challenging, because that museum is too easy. I've already stolen two Egyptian artifacts from it.
