THE WORLD IS CRUEL
Item #: SCP-CN-455
LOVE BRINGS YOU NOTHING BUT SUFFERING
Object Class: Keter
IT RUINS YOUR DREAMS
Special Containment Procedures: MTF-Θ-4 ("Ice Hockey Bastards") are responsible for the motion of SCP-CN-455-1, and are to ensure SCP-CN-455-1 remains within 61 m of SCP-CN-455, administer targeted amnestics to erase knowledge of the object in uninvolved personnel. In order to prevent SCP-CN-455 from reaching SCP-CN-455-1, the trajectory of SCP-CN-455 must be cleared in advance. Permanent containment proposals are under discussion.
WEARS AWAY AT YOUR WILL
Description: SCP-CN-455 is a humanoid object wearing an ice hockey uniform. The object's uniform is indestructible, and all attempts to harm the object have failed. The object is capable of sliding on any surface in a manner typical of ice hockey. The object is seemingly capable of sensing SCP-CN-455-1's location at all times.
PUTTING YOU IN AN INESCAPABLE SITUATION
SCP-CN-455-1 is a circular ice hockey puck, identical in appearance to the type used in competitions. No means of destroying SCP-CN-455 have been found. The object was found in the possession of the Global Occult Coalition and was transferred to the Foundation in 2008.
EVEN IF YOUR DREAMS ARE SIMPLE
"Motivational" content will be anomalously added to all documents and images describing SCP-CN-455. This includes text, image notes, and emoticons. The object's facial structure appear to be identical to those of American ice hockey player █████ ███, who was missing from a 2006 ████ ice hockey competition and was confirmed missing. However, the object was discovered in 2005.
TERRIBLE MEMORIES SWEEP IT ALL AWAY
SCP-CN-455 will attempt to run towards SCP-CN-455-1; the speed at which the object moves appears to be growing exponentially from the 8.1 m/s on initial containment in 2006 to 10.2 m/s. If the distance between SCP-CN-455 and SCP-CN-455-1 ever exceeds 61 m, or at a random time once each day, SCP-CN-455 will rapidly accelerate and approach SCP-CN-455-1 until it is within 16 m and has direct line of sight to it. This process cannot be stopped. It is believed that when SCP-CN-455 touches SCP-CN-455-1, an irreversible XK-Class end-of-the-world scenario will occur. As such, the object is not to touch SCP-CN-455-1 at all costs.

PERHAPS TAKING A STEP BACK WILL OPEN UP THE SEA AND SKY
SCP-CN-455: I just want to hit it. Please, my friend.
Agent Veter: Please answer my question, and then I'll think about it.
SCP-CN-455: Why? (crying) I just want to hit the puck, to win the competition, to become a winner in life. Why must you obstruct me?
PERHAPS GIVING UP WILL OPEN UP ANOTHER PATH
SCP-CN-455: Do you know? Everyone wants to kill me. Like I'm a mouse that ruined their dad's shoes or something. But I just want to hit this puck.
SCP-CN-455: This world and I, we hate each other.
THIS PATH IS TRANQUIL AND SAFE
Agent Veter: I'm sorry, we have no way to achieve this.
SCP-CN-455: Then you may as well kill me.
THIS PATH WILL NOT BRING YOU TO DESTRUCTION
(Subject slows down and stops, bending over and crying. Distance between van and subject begins to increase)
Agent Veter: Recording the subject's emotional disturbance… Wait! Stop the car!
(It is estimated that the distance between SCP-CN-455 and SCP-CN-455-1 exceeds 61 m)
BUT THIS IS NOT MY PATH
Agent Veter: What is this?
YOU TRIED TO STOP ME
SCP-CN-455: You tried to stop me.
HE TRIED TO STOP ME
Agent Veter: Wait… what's going on?
(SCP-CN-455 suddenly accelerates, approaching SCP-CN-455-1)
Agent Veter: Quick!
(Van begins to move faster, SCP-CN-455 continues to accelerate)
BUT I WON'T GIVE IN
SCP-CN-455: But I won't give in.
BUT I WON'T GIVE IN
（Distance between SCP-CN-455 and SCP-CN-455-1 reaches 16 m）
Agent Veter: Words?
PERHAPS LIFE IS JUST THAT DIFFICULT
SCP-CN-455: Perhaps life is just that difficult.
PERHAPS LIFE IS JUST THAT DIFFICULT
Agent Veter: Speed up!
（Van begins to speed up.）
THEN WHAT SHOULD I DO?

IF THERE IS ONE THING I MUST DO
SCP-CN-455: If there is one thing I must do…
IF THERE IS ONE THING I MUST DO
（SCP-CN-455 slows down, but continues forward.）
IT IS TO KEEP GOING
SCP-CN-455: It is to keep going.
IT IS TO KEEP GOING
When Heaven is about to confer a great office on any man, it first exercises his mind with suffering, and his sinews and bones with toil. It exposes his body to hunger, and subjects him to extreme poverty. It confounds his undertakings. By all these methods it stimulates his mind, hardens his nature, and supplies his incompetencies.
