2/267-DE LEVEL 2/267-DECLASSIFIED |
![]() |
Item #: SCP-267-DEObject Class: Safe |
Special Containment Class: SCP-267-DE is to be kept locked, unless a D-class test takes place.
If tests are performed, only D-class personnel are to be used. Said D-class personnel is to be held in SCP-267-DE for a maximum of three days, with three daily meals of their choice. The D-class personnel must write at least a three-versed poem about their day in SCP-267-DE. After the tests, D-class personnel is to be committed to one week of psychiatric treatment.
Description: SCP-267-DE describes the humanoid standard cell 24A in Site-DE6. The cell features a two-centimeter hole in the lower right corner of the northern wall.
Wind seems to blow through said hole at a speed of 46 km/h. How this wind materializes is unknown as of yet, as none of the walls lead to the site's outside.
A specific sound is generated through the wind that blows through the hole, which prompts all living beings with a higher brain function to rhyme in written poem form onto every surface.1
Attempts to explore the hole or even neutralize it through filling failed, as all light shining in the hole is getting absorbed to 99.9 %, and all filling attempts fall off for hitherto unknown reasons.
A secondary effect by SCP-267-DE causes the affected subject to get more mentally unstable after every poem. A continuous subjection to the effects for more than three days leads to a drastic amplification of the effect. This includes hallucinations, suicidal thoughts, nightmares and a difficulty in writing correct sentences. These effects were classified as SCP-267-DE-1. The SCP-267-DE-1 hallucinations commonly depict criminal acts and failures of the subject.
Discovery: SCP-267-DE was discovered on the 21/9/20██ when the mental state of SCP-023-DE-1 worsened and several peoms written by it were found.
Addendum-267-DE-1:
Foreword: This long-term test had been performed to concretize and improve the containment procedures for SCP-267-DE. D-367571 was committed to psychiatric treatment following this long-term test. Below are the poems she wrote.
A first impression
They sent me in this area.
Is this a banter?
They said the only thing I'm allowed to do is writing poetry,
Otherwise my head will be served on a silver tray.
Do I have any other choice?
Either way, they won't hear my voice.
It's small in here.
I have a desire for cold beer.
Will it be granted, I dare to doubt, I merely do.
Especially not in such a small room.
How long do I stay in this lieu?
Maybe long enough I'll become a brute?
Bad night
I was kept awake by a whistling,
So close, I could almost touch it.
Now, will they let me out?
Just saw a mouse.
Was that an illusion?
Or my interpretation mere confusion?
I am hungry, soon they'll bring food,
Gorging myself is what I'm going to do
I apologize, I don't know what to write
Dear, oh my.
A ryhmeless 24-year old,
That is awkward for sure.
How much longer
Day three, had already left I thought,
But this horror was near to nought.
My breakfast was overlooked,
Something has me on its hook.
Are there other activities?
Not much this place contains.
Merely some pencils here lie,
I will win against the anomaly in this fight.
Grey hell,
That's what I call this cubicle.
Should have stayed a housewife,
But I just had to end his life.
Where will this end?
Tonight I was visited by deviltry,
And on day four already.
He said soon I'll perish,
And shall suffocate on dirt.
Only bleed those bastards will!
No matter how, I'll stab them oral!
Alike Markus, may hell turn him into casserole
His blood so cold, my fingers froze.
I hear steps, no longer can I stand it.
I see a man with a double eye socket.
He stands in the corner, Markus is it you?
Your skin, as black as soot.
Why?
I didn't write long, which day is it?
The one when my soul shall lose its skin.
Markus left me, archetypal
Is this Foundation gimmick sensual?
I don't want anymore, I can't anymore,
Neither end nor light down in this moor.
I was sent to hell, so cold,
That death is taking hold.
Sleep I will nevermore,
There's usually a sea of fog afore
I hear screams, they call my name,
Thoughts of jumping naked into the sea came.
I
In the mirror my missing face I saw.
This is probably my last report.
He came to me again and touched me,
His ice hand stroking across my cheek.
I begged him to take me with him
No matter where, I wanted to do something.
He merely laughed,
Was I really that stubborn?
He left me again,
I cannot feel any limb.
I screamed and screamed, but he didn't arrive.
Tears still blocked every eye.
How can I die?
For five hours I starred at the wall,
Is it solid enough to crush my countenance?
Should I accept the deal with the devil?
And stiflingly comfort my mouth with soil?
With a cold face the man in the corner stares.
Is my presence only for his amusement here?
Where are others when you're in need?
The monster under the bed I need to feed.
Why can't I leave this lieu?
Did I really became a brute?
Tick tack does the clock's pendulum.
To hang like it is my present oath.
Surrender
Forgotten I have been,
Is this my discretion?
All lonely this scene,
Here, neither Markus nor the demons want to be
When will they enfranchise,
Me from my time-out in here?
In my eyes, the pencils look tempting,
I never want to get out again!
The voices become more noisy,
Like the one that sounds like a confidant.
I come to yo'!
Don't leave me alone!
Incident Report-267-DE:
On the 4/11/20██, D-367571 was found naked in SCP-267-DE, beating her head against the western wall. She was seized by two members of security staff and re-dressed. Meanwhile, D-367571 screamed the sentence: "Markus, don't leave me!" Speculations suggest that Markus is Markus Schlösser, the former husband of D-367571, who she killed due to jealously. Afterwards, she was brought to Dr. Asabelle, a female Foundation psychologist, where she is undergoing treatment at the time.
