SCP#: AIB

Code Name: The Mattress Demon

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-AIB has been placed at Site-AA within the anomalous furniture storage unit. SCP-AIB is regularly used in interview testing to find out more about the inner workings of Group of Interest: The Factory. During such testing a single D Class is to be escorted to the testing area with Foundation security guarding them. The D Class is to be wearing an explosive collar in case the situation becomes extreme or testing is declared over. 

Description: SCP-AIB is a mattress that looks and feels extremely comfortable but is possessed by a demon and filled to the brim with TRE Radiation. This massive amount of TRE Radiation allows the demon to possess anyone who sleeps on the mattress and influence them to lay there forever to act as the demon’s vessel. From there they will torment and terrorize anyone who is near SCP-AIB. Testing has shown that SCP-AIB has no way of pursuing new victims if no one is around. Furthermore SCP-AIB normally relies on tormenting family members or friends of the victim so should it ever possess someone who is alone or has no connections SCP-AIB will have no one to torment. It is for this reason SCP-AIB is labeled as Object Class Safe.

SCP-AIB was discovered in 1999 when a truck carrying the logo of The Factory was driving out from the middle of the [data expunged] desert. Thankfully it was intercepted by a team form the Exorcist Corps of the Horizon Initiative. They claimed the truck was oddly driven by two deformed rats that were somehow able to stand on their hind feet. They killed the rats and tried to exorcize SCP-AIB though only succeeded in freeing a man who was possessed and then allowing him free. They unfortunately didn’t acquire any information about the man as their target was SCP-AIB though they did note he was extremely rude and ungrateful. 

For years the Horizon Initiative tried to exorcize the SCP-AIB but had no success as the demon was able to use its vast amount of TRE Radiation to resist any exorcist ritual. Since no progress within the HI was made, it was decided to utilize Protocol “United Hands” and negotiated the surrender of SCP-AIB into Foundation custody. Thankfully the negotiations ended well, and the Horizon Initiative ended up not demanding anything in exchange, thus in 2004 SCP-AIB was finally in Foundation custody. 

Testing had shown that the demon within SCP-AIB was aware of GoI: The Factory and had some promising knowledge on the subject. Please see Addendum X-62 for details.

Addendum X-62

The following is one of the interviews with SCP-AIB and Dr. Alvik after SCP-AIB has taken a D Class as a host to communicate. Dr. Alvik was specifically requested due to his status as an [data expunged] and his position within the Department of Universal Affairs.

Dr. Alvik: Yo, can you hear me AIB?

SCP-AIB: I hear you mor… wait… not mortal… [data expunged]?

Dr. Alvik: I don’t associate with my father, so I don’t like that title. 

SCP-AIB: Heh, guess that makes sense he has been losing influence since the world has gotten more… chaotic.

Dr. Alvik: Let’s focus on you, how do you know the Factory, how did you even come to become one of its products? How did they even sell you?

SCP-AIB: Hehehe… I possessed someone about… a while ago, don’t remember when and can’t be fucked to care.

Dr. Alvik: Fine, just continue.

SCP-AIB: Hm, I was just in the middle of being exorcised by those fucking priestess when a large metal building suddenly grew out of the ground and wretched everything.

Dr. Alvik: Wait? Priestess? As in a female priest?

SCP-AIB: Oh right, I think it was a world different from this one, one where christianity was still founded but declared females closer to God than males due to Adam taking the first bite of the forbidden fruit. 

Dr. Alvik: Oh, so you're from another reality where the gender roles are reversed, that’s cool I guess. But what happened next and how did it lead to you ending up here?

SCP-AIB: After the metal building was done forming it started releasing this strange energy, I believe the humans call it radiation. Some people started melting, some died instantly, others mutated, as for my host they melted into the mattress both trapping me in but also allowing me to forever free from the grips of hell. 

Dr. Alvik: Hm, then let me guess the freaks of the Factory started coming out and stealing stuff to make new anomalous items?

SCP-AIB: Pretty much, though the two rats found me personally and brought me to James Anderson. He liked me so much he decided to sell me personally for a test.

Dr. Alvik: A test?

SCP-AIB: The ones who purchased me, he specifically made advertisements for them wanting them to buy the mattress. To see what would happen, especially with the dog. 

Dr. Alvik: The dog?

SCP-AIB: There was a dog there that has peeked Anderson’s Interest, kinda cute little fellow… I really enjoyed making him scream.

Dr. Alvik: The dog screamed?

SCP-AIB: He barked sometimes but he could talk. He also had a smart computer on his roof… it was kinda weird but it was also pretty funny to watch him suffer. At least until he managed to trap me and make a return on his purchase. 

Dr. Alvik: … Strange, I thought the Factory didn’t do refunds.

SCP-AIB: Anderson makes exceptions. 

Dr. Alvik: So Anderson specifically sold you just to mess with a dog that can talk and has… a smart computer?

SCP-AIB: Pretty much.

Dr. Alvik: I see, well that’s all we need to know for now. Go ahead and terminate!

SCP-AIB: Oh, come on, why let the fun end-

The explosive collar on the D Class activates and kills the host instantly. Two MTF units then grab the ropes on the legs of the dead D-Class and drag the body away.

Recording Ends

The Horizon Initiative was questioned on where they found SCP-AIB, after finding the trajectory it was found to have originated from a house in the middle of the [data expunged] desert. The house is populated with an old woman named [data expunged] and her husband [data expunged] as well as their pet dog named Courage. Courage is a small and fat dog that curiously has pink fur and seems to stand on his hind legs often. Most curiously someone mapped the trajectory and saw that SCP-AGD originated from that area as well. The entire area has been placed on the Location of Interest watchlist while the dog Courage has been placed on the Entity of Interest Watchlist.

Chapter 10 - Student Council President Sakura

SCPS AO3 | PREVIOUS CHAPTER

To Sakura, world still revolved normally; nothing changed between them, nothing mattered enough for her to behave differently. To Sasuke, the world shifted in its axis, having revealed a glimpse of his true feelings to her however falsely convenient she deemed them to be; everything changed between them, everything mattered enough for him to behave differently.

Like flinching at her slight grazes on his skin or his ears picking up her voice in the middle of the crowd noises or his eyes following the trail of her rose hair tied up in a ponytail, bewitched by the sway of the strands as she tousled to get to the front of the fray, her fingers burning a hole through his sleeve.

“HOMERUN!” The announcer screamed through the microphone, the feedback running through ripples in the throng of people. “Uzumaki Naruto nails a clutch win in the last inning for his team in their first ever nationals!”

Screams erupted around them, and as others jumped and cursed and hugged each other, she stood there frozen in time, her hands on her mouth. “He won. He won, Sasuke.” Her voice quivered, and he knew then that she was crying.

“Yeah, the blonde idiot won.” He allowed himself to smile, picking the blonde among the ruckus that enfolded below.

An hour and lesser filled stadium after, the two went down to congratulate their friend with open arms despite the sweat and the grit. Sasuke went with the flow, jumping up and down and circling about in the middle of the pitcher’s mound. They broke away from each other’s hold after several minutes, breathless in the undertaking, and flushed with all the gleeful screaming.

Two firm pats on Naruto’s back and a ruffle on his porcupine hair. “You did well, idiot.”

“Ah I earned a compliment from grumpy. This truly is the best day of my life!” His teammates broke in laughter in the background.

“I’m so proud of you. I’m so glad we took the bullet train to watch your game,” Sakura said through tears. Perhaps it was the height of the celebration or the ride of her emotions; she reached for Naruto’s face and placed a kiss on his cheek.

Sasuke turned away just in time, thankful for the screams, hoots, and whistles that possessed the student body. In his aversion, he also saw another face who kept looking anywhere but at the two. Hyuga Hinata, his ironic comrade in heartbreak.

Haru was in the group of spectators earlier, a pseudo-coach and mood-raiser for the team, his undercut prominent against his cap. Sasuke guessed him and Hinata were civil enough to be enclosed in a common space. He walked towards her, hands in his pockets.

“I’m gonna confess to him in the cultural festival,” she told him before he could reach her side.

He leaned against the bleachers, shutting out the continuing noises from the student body. In the midst of it, he can hear Sakura scolding all of them for misunderstanding. “And you’re gonna get rejected.”

“At least I told him what I felt,” she replied. “Did you already?”

He shrugged, unsure himself whether he got the point across or not.

“You better make it clear. You berated me for giving mixed signals after all.”

“You don’t hold your punches, Ms. Hyuga.” Sasuke sighed. “I think she rejected me already.”

Hinata let out a small laugh, the first in his vicinity. “Well, I’m just giving back your advice. If you think it so, you should ask again.”

“A second heartbreak won’t do me good.”

“The future has a lot in store.” She finally landed her gaze on Naruto and Sakura who separated now and were engaged by Haru in some funny exchange. “Good luck to us, Uchiha. I’ll take my leave.”

Sasuke detached himself from the bleachers. “Without saying congratulations?”

But Hinata continued on her exit without giving him a reply. To his surprise, it was not only him who caught her leaving; a pair of blue eyes also followed after her, mouth agape, hesitant to call her name not when he was in the presence of her ex-boyfriend and ex-captain. Ah, we’re all stuck in this complex hell, aren’t we?

His phone vibrated against his pocket. On normal days, he would ignore the call, but today wasn’t normal and he had to act nice for the favor he asked.

“Did your best friend win?” Itachi’s voice greeted him.

Sasuke didn’t correct him on the terminology. He just grunted a small yes, and somehow, he can hear his brother smiling on the other end of the call.

“Glad my donation helped fund their team’s expenses. I take it you also spent some for the bullet train?”

Again, another small yes.

“That’s nice.” It was the first time he heard Itachi chuckle again after the accident. “I’m glad you have friends.”

They’re not my friends fell silent on Sasuke’s lips. All he wanted was to consistently rank first, have uninteresting interactions…but all of those foiled because of the two. “Yeah, something like that.”

He heard the beeping pager in the background. “Gotta run, little brother. See you.”

Little brother. Sasuke swallowed back an unfamiliar sound.

It was a sob.

--------------------------------

Sakura tried to look at anything but him – the titles of books on his shelves behind, the heads of other faculty members bobbing, the ticking of the second hand on the wall clock. Kakashi clucked upon seeing her career sheet.

“Haruno, you’ll be graduating salutatorian, just points away from Uchiha Sasuke and yet you haven’t listed a university or a job listing. It’s referral season, and you’ve done a lot of good in this school.” Kakashi held his eyes steady on her, a firm line on his lips. “Don’t you want help?”

She mustered a smile, if that was what they call it nowadays, and handed him a filled out form. Whether he could see that it was written with wavering hands, she’d never know. “I settled on fashion design. I’ve always wanted to be a seamstress myself.”

That was a lie, and she knew Kakashi knew judging by how the firm line stayed. He briefly nodded and let her go.

Sensing the bubbling anxiety, she traversed the noisy hallways and almost sprinted to what has also become her safe space – the hidden spot of the boys behind the library. It wasn’t lunch time yet so Sasuke and Naruto wouldn’t be here. She slumped against the wall, sobs racking throughout her body.

Aimless was what she would describe her direction, untethered her depth, and a black hole her emotions.

“I wish you would let me help you.” Kakashi’s voice made her jump. She scanned her surroundings but cannot find a telling strand of silver in the hedges. He was probably standing on the entrance, just before the canopy of vines. “I didn’t follow you. I just knew the three of you went here for lunch and after-school chats. I’m a faculty, Sakura.”

“Please go away.” She never heard her voice sounded so small…and vulnerable.

“Sometimes, talking it out would make the burden feel lighter.”

She didn’t respond, and he didn’t wait for it. His audible footsteps were an indication he was moving away so she took the bait. If this was one way to be near him, why couldn’t it be in the guise of her pain?

She emerged in the hedges, eyes bloodshot red and strained, only to find him leaning against the wall, waiting with a handkerchief for her.

In an ironic turn of events, he brought her to the program she initiated. When he turned to leave to give her the privacy she needed, she asked him to stay. And that simple silent gesture gave her the courage to face her reality.

That her parents were divorcing, and in a futile attempt to cope, she made herself scarce, almost invisible.

Perhaps she was too much work for a middle-class couple with a lot of bills and unemployed siblings to feed. Maybe if they didn’t have a child that hindered their defining career opportunities to relocate or get promoted to an overseas position. Her outstanding community work and numerous distinction medals just weren’t strong enough to warrant a reconsideration of their decision.

And maybe it was a wrong move to get a part time job and dissociate from the pink-haired, studious Sakura and be the adult black-haired, funky cashier Sakura because it only gave them the idea she can live just fine on her own without any of them worrying about her instead of seeing the whole thing as a call for help.

“If you’re ready, you should share your problem to the two,” her sensei said when they finished with her therapy consultation.

“They have heavier baggage,” she simply replied.

“They’re not comparable. Naruto has an empty baggage, a kid with no past, yet he drags it around. Sasuke has sand for load, it’s leaking at the seams but he refills it. And for you, it could be air or water. It’s because you’re compressing them all inside that they become heavier.” He laid a hand on her head, an action of a sensei to a student. “Thanks for sharing some of those with me, Sakura.”

--------------------------------

Cultural festival was an amalgamation of confessions, last clinchers, and stolen moments. Whoever snatched a dance with someone they liked would be blessed with good relationship – that was how the saying went among the ranks of students.

It was the reason why Sasuke and Naruto hid throughout the day in their spot, content to eat instant ramen, batches of onigiri, and packs of orange and tomato juices. Throngs of freshmen and second years were on the hunt for their feet as dance partner.

“If only they knew I have two left feet,” Naruto grumbled. “I can’t even enjoy the day with Sakura. It’s pathetic to think I’m stuck with you.”

“I second,” Sasuke said. “Do you think she’ll confess to Kakashi later?”

“She hasn’t made a move yet?”

Sasuke shook his head.

“Wait what do you mean you second?”

Minutes of silence ensued. Sasuke put a whole onigiri in his mouth, too flustered to say it right at his face. “I like Sakura.” The words were jumbled with his chewing, and he was sure Naruto didn’t catch it.

But the idiot grinned and laughed maniacally. “The great pretender finally admits! When did you realize it? Did you have the fireworks in your head too?” He even mimicked a rainbow with his hands.

“That’s a rainbow, you idiot.” Sasuke scratched the back of his head. “When she was busy looking at Kakashi playing the piano.”

“Ah, will we ever have the chance?” Naruto snickered. “Let’s confess tonight, grumpy.”

“Already thought of that and already prepared for it.” Despite the seemingly downfall trajectory of their common affections, Sasuke still managed a smirk.

Not to be one-upped, Naruto pulled out his phone and flashed a small bouquet of dahlias. “Ready to be picked up tonight.”

A Greek tragedy, that was them; two best friends falling in love with and being rejected by the same girl.

--------------------------------

Majority of the school population have gathered around the giant bonfire on the campus grounds, but Sakura knew Kakashi would be stuck in his cubicle in the faculty lounge, nose-deep in a novel, headphones in to drown out the noise, and feet propped up on his desk.

Tonight was the night she would bare her other truth naked to him.

But before she could even step foot in his space, she already heard the voice of his favorite book drifting across the nooks and partitions.

“You should be with your students.” Giggling and a sound she would only assume was a string of kisses.

“I don’t have much time with you. Let me be greedy just this time.” Hearing her sensei say that painted him in another light. So there was this very attached Kakashi, far from the laidback and chill professor she knew.

Sakura should turn her heels and join the rest of the student body. She should act like a good student model, ignore her teacher’s affairs, and pretend she was never here. Except she tripped while running, and that summoned the two of them to her aid.

“Sakura? Did you need something?”

She side-eyed Rin Nohara and shook her head, her one only good chance blown to bits by her own recklessness and stupidity. She muttered an apology and starts to walk away with limping feet when Rin stopped her.

“I’ll get a drink in the vending machine. I’ll be back in five minutes Kashi.”

Thank God for women intuition, Sakura thought.

But inevitably she was left alone in the corridor with her heartbeat far stronger than the noise of the band outside around the campfire and the unknowing subject of her admiration. She held tightly to his rubber tie around her wrist, the mark etched deeper by each day she leaves it there mangled with her pulse.

He crossed his arms and leaned back against the wall, a smile etched on his face, the soft moonlight falling on his features only to highlight his beauty mark. It was unfair seeing him like this only to have him break her heart.

She knew she didn’t stand a chance, but even then, she had to hear it clear and loud.

“I like you.”

Were three words ever enough to encapsulate the three years of affection she held for him? One word for each year she felt content with glimpses of him, may they only be passing shadows in the halls, an echoing voice in the adjacent room, the silent arbiter in council meetings or a silver strand she could easily pick out in a sea of black of white.

Kakashi looked at her, his smile still etched, his face still immaculate. “That wasn’t a question.”

“And that wasn’t a reply.” It was nature to look away when one was too scared to face truth, but for the many times he helped her, even without him fully realizing the extent, she owed it to him to be brave.

“But you already know the words.” A head pat, the same gesture that gave her comfort in the past was the same gesture that broke her heart just now. How easy it was for the breaker to give and take minute and mindless affections, but what right did she has to think they were special to begin with?

It was the end of an illusory conception.

--------------------------------

A bouquet of dahlias and a bouquet of daffodils were hidden behind Naruto and Sasuke. It was dark, already past seven, the bonfire in its final vestiges, its sputtering flames waiting for last-minute lovers to dance in their splendid light.

Within the shadows came the girl of their dreams, hair untangled and morose emerald irises dipped in pools. Sasuke first noticed the bare wrist, the rubber tie gone, and he knew then that she confessed, and she was heartbroken.

He didn’t need to say anything to the blonde beside him. Her stance was enough to convey her present state of being. What she needed right now were her friends, not aspiring lovers stupid enough to break the friendship label.

And so they hid the bouquets on their backs, safe in the clutches of the dark, and when she reached out to them, their free hands already grasped her trembling fingers in waiting.

There they were, three broken-hearted people, wallowing in their own respective pain, sitting on the dewy grass that would leave stains on their clothes the next morning. When the school band started the last song, Sasuke stood up, abandoning his bouquet on the side, and pulled the other two up.

“Would be a shame to end our last cultural festival like this.”

Ten steps later, they were in the middle of the crowd of couples, three awkward friends holding each other’s hands and stepping on each other’s foot.

“For the love of God, you really can’t dance Naruto. Can’t you do a simple turn to the right?” Sasuke complained.

“Why are you putting all the blame on me? You’re the one who can’t differentiate the right from left!” Naruto spat back.

She laughed, and it somehow stopped their bickering for a moment. Bent at her stomach and eyes clinched shut in crinkles, that was their Sakura.

[ninjagoscpau]

sorry this took a while. i wanted it to not be hell to read

Sorta. The ninja have their elemental powers still, but Cole is a ghost with the ability to transform into a human at any given time, and there are 2 different Lloyd's. "Kid" Lloyd and "Adult" Lloyd.The Ninja have been in the faculty for so long they can hardly remember the outside world.

vlanderzine Damn

lindsey-chr-not-found They're all labeled as Keter because, while they all are safe to be around, if one of them is hurt or if something happens to one of the faculty members, they will IMMEDIATELY go into "ninja" mode and try to fight whoever hurt their friend.

vlanderzine Double damn

lindsey-chr-not-found They all trust the faculty members and will do whatever they can to protect them, even if it means dying by another SCP.

vlanderzine OoohI have an idea!l

indsey-chr-not-found Yes?

vlanderzine Wu is basically their handler. Outside of each other, he’s the person they trust most and will (usually) follow his orders without question (witch may or may not be due to condition that was wiped from their memory)

lindsey-chr-not-found OH YESSSSI was kinda thinking that to!

vlanderzine :)

lindsey-chr-not-found okay here's my idea for Llpyd. 

Lloyd is split into two, kid! Lloyd and Adult!Lloyd

.lindsey-chr-not-found Kid! Lloyd is about 10~ and absolutely loves candy and comic books. He's mischievous and LOVES to prank people. While he doesn't have any elemental powers, he does have a special power of getting what he wants through fake crying until he gets it. The fake crying causes the person to feel concerned and want to do what they can to help him calm down. He uses this trick to get what he wants.He's also a brat, and runs VERY fast. It's almost impossible to catch him.He's also kinda an ass

vlanderzine YES, And adult Lloyd?

lindsey-chr-not-found Adult Lloyd is much more mature than Kid! Lloyd. He has his elemental powers of creation. He loves helping people and is very polite and sweet. If someone is in trouble, he will do what he can to "save" them. Despite being older, he still absolutely loves comic books and candy

.vlanderzine “Save” worries me

lindsey-chr-not-found Adult Lloyd can be quite destructive, too. If he gets angry, he starts to destroy everything in sight without realizing it, and then he'll cry and apologize profusely because he feels terrible about it.

vlanderzine Mmmmm yes

lindsey-chr-not-found He can resist Kid! Lloyd's fake crying ability, but he will help him with pranks and then scold him about it in an attempt to cover up the fact that he helps

vlanderzine 10/10, defiantly a pair of good boys

lindsey-chr-not-foundI have more ideas for the r st of the ninja if you're down 

vlanderzine Tell me

hlindsey-chr-not-found So SCP Jay

vlanderzine:)

lindsey-chr-not-found Jay is very talkative and often rambles about the weirdest stuff. He likes to joke and make everyone laugh. His favorite jokes are puns. Despite this, he is very self conscious about his rambling problem and will TRY to shut up once he catches himself, but it fails more often times than not. He very much likes it when people laugh at his jokes. He absolutely loves video games and building things, and is very good at it too.

vlanderzine Oooh, And his anomalous properties?

lindsey-chr-not-found. He's often found working on something that a worker asked him to help build.

vlanderzine Ah, that’s nice

lindsey-chr-not-found Alongside his lighting power, he's kinda like a master builder from TLM. He's able to build things very fast

.vlanderzine Nice 

lindsey-chr-not-found He's also a very fast runner. SCP Zane time.

vlanderzine I’d like to think his abilities also passively mess with electronics, and simple communications devices like walkie-talkies won’t work in his presence. He’d also really mess with radios and cellular devices as well. The affects get worse when he’s upset, and he could take down the electronics of entire cities in extreme cases

vlanderzine He also makes compasses spin haywire when they get near him

lindsey-chr-not-found Zane is a nindroid. He's very calm and collected, and quite introverted. Despite trusting the faculty members, the only people he'll allow to actually make repairs on him are Jay and Nya. If something is wrong, he'll go to them. He loves cooking and often makes food for the workers and the rest of the ninja.OH YESSS that and his ice powers. Wait what if Cyrus was also a faculty worker and Zane also trusts him to do repairs on him.

vlanderzine The tempeture around him is also really low. He tends to leave frost where he walks. The metal he’s made out of had really weird properties that make him immune to Jay’s affect on technology. Nobody can really identify what he’s made of or how he works, and there are certain parts of him that just can’t be explained Oooh yes 

lindsey-chr-not-found OHHH YESSSSS ! now SCP Kai

slindsey-chr-not-found Kai is the most protective of the ninja. If he thinks someone is in danger, he'll do what he can to protect them. He'll also do what he can to comfort someone if they're sad. He's especially good at making weapons such as blades and armor. Though, he's a dumbass. He doesn't think about his actions first and will dive right into something. He's also arrogant and thinks very highly of himself.I'm not sure what his special abilities aside from controlling fire are tbh

vlanderzine I’ve got a few ideas :)

lindsey-chr-not-found OH?

lindsey-chr-not-foundalso kid Lloyd is absolutely afraid of the dark-

vlanderzine Like you said, he’s got the hole controlling fire thing going for him. He’s also made of fire. His blood is flames, and if you blew of his arm somehow, it would be replaced by one made of fire. He can regenerate his human limbs over time but it takes a while. His flames can’t be put out by anything, they can even burn in a vacuum. They also burn anything, including things that shouldn’t burn at all such as water and metal. His flames will even burn SCPs that were previously thought indestructible

.lindsey-chr-not-found OH HO HOOO YESSSS YESSSS

vlanderzine He’d be able to kill things like the shy guy and SCP 682 with ease 

lindsey-chr-not-found YESSSSSSS, SCP Cole

vlanderzineOwO

lindsey-chr-not-found Cole is the toughest of the group. He's quite introverted and it's pretty hard to tell what he's feeling since he's almost emotionless. Despite this, he ABSOLUTELY LOVES cake and making art, and he's very good at it, though he won't let anyone see his art. Alongside being super freaking strong, he can turn into a ghost at will. He hates dancing and singing with a passion, but will do it if necessary.Often times he's caught stealing cake and when he gets caught he turns into a ghost and runs

vlanderzine The staff can’t really do a lot to stop him except call Wu

lindsey-chr-not-found also he loves cooking but is terrible at it 

Staff: put that down or I'll call wu

 Cole: *VERY QUICKLY shoves the cake into his mouth and nearly chokes*

vlanderzine He has several doctor bright style rules concerning the kitchen

lindsey-chr-not-found and what are those?

vlanderzine OwO 

lindsey-chr-not-found What are the rules? 

vlanderzine Things along the lines of SCP-(we need to come up with numbers) is not allowed to enter the kitchen. SCP-(inset Coles number) is not allowed to ask other to enter the kitchen on his behalf. SCP-(is his number again) is not allowed to remove cooking equipment from the kitchen

lindsey-chr-not-foundYesssss

vlanderzine They have to add a new rule at least once a month 

lindsey-chr-not-found YeSSSSS 

vlanderzineFor powers, Cole probably has the hole earth manipulation, but it also extends to metal

lindsey-chr-not-found Yessssssss

lindsey-chr-not-found now for nya

lindsey-chr-not-found Tbh I haven't thought much of nya

vlanderzine Me either...Hmmm

lindsey-chr-not-found hmmmmm

vlanderzine Oh also, Cole bleeds lava, his skin is also immune to bullets and blades of any kind, but pic-axes can chip away at his skin like it would a rock 

lindsey-chr-not-found YESSSSSS

lindsey-chr-not-found Nya is very intelligent and she isn't afraid to tell you as it is. If something is wrong, she'll tell you. Like Jay, she loves building and often helps Jay and the faculty with building things

.vlanderzine Mmmm yes 

lindsey-chr-not-found Despite being an absolute badass, she will cling onto Kai when she's scared.

vlanderzine Y E S

lindsey-chr-not-found What should her special power be besides water?

vlanderzine She has control of all liquids. weather it be water or liquid metal, if it’s in a liquid state she can control it.

lindsey-chr-not-found OHH YESSSS

vlanderzine She’s also made of water like kai is made of fire. The water that she’s made of can’t evaporate or freeze at all 

.lindsey-chr-not-found Yessss

vlanderzine She also makes her surroundings more Humid, and it rains whenever she’s upset 

lindsey-chr-not-found Aside from kid! Lloyd, they're all excellent fighters and will use their special abilities to their advantage. Zane is also sort of a medic and will do what he can to help heal people.

Yesssss, When Kai's upset it gets really freaking hot

vlanderzine:)

vlanderzine Also

lindsey-chr-not-found Yes?

vlanderzine Kid Lloyd’s ability works on literally anything. Both people, animals, other SCPs, robots, and even inanimate objects. 

lindsey-chr-not-found Except Adult Lloyd

vlanderzine Yes. Kid Lloyd is extremely useful for capturing or recapturing SCPs because of his abillity

lindsey-chr-not-found Yessssss. They all live in the same enclosure, but have seperate rooms, customized to their liking

.vlanderzine Yep. They are (usually) aloud to wander through the facility 

vlanderzine The site is nicknamed the monastery

lindsey-chr-not-found Yessss. Wu lives their too with them

.vlanderzine Ye. >:DI have an idea

lindsey-chr-not-found Gimme

vlanderzine #1 Garm is a keter class SCP that can and will kill and destroy anyone that isnt one of the ninja or wu 

lindsey-chr-not-found OH HO HO YESSS

vlanderzine #2 Chen is an extremely rich business man who uses SCPs to keep his totally and completely legal business practices across the planet afloat

lindsey-chr-not-found garm lives in a separate enclosure from the ninja. He's very destructive and has trouble controlling his anger. He will attack almost anyone who tries to come near him. The only one who is allowed near him is Lloyd. When he's around either Lloyd, he's very docile and much more cooperative. YESSS TO CHEN

vlanderzine Oh yes. The Serpentine and great devourer are both neutralized SCPs 

lindsey-chr-not-found Yesssss

vlanderzine They were contained by utilizing the “ninja”

lindsey-chr-not-found Pythor is known to somehow escape his enclosure often and try to break out, which they have to get kid Lloyd to help get him in

.vlanderzine Y e s .Several of the higher ups really want to just terminate pythor, but kid Lloyd won’t let them

lindsey-chr-not-found Yessss!

lindsey-chr-not-found Adult Lloyd doesn't trust Pyhtor in the slightest. He hates when his kid self BEGS for him to be spared

vlanderzine He’s tried to convince kid Lloyd to let them kill him but he absolutely refuses. Pythor will never admit it but he cares about kid Lloyd a lot

lindsey-chr-not-foundn Yessss. That doesn't mean he won't try to save him if he ever escapes

vlanderzine Yep

lindsey-chr-not-found I got an idea for scp Lyra if you're down-vlanderzine Shoot 

lindsey-chr-not-found okay so

lindsey-chr-not-found Lyra is untrusting of the faculty. She almost refuses to eat the food they give her in case it's drugged or something. One of the ninja, usually Kai, has to take her whatever the faculty gives her because she's scared it'll hurt her in some way.

lindsey-chr-not-found Even though she won't trust the workers, that doesn't mean she won't protect or help them when needed.

vlanderzine Nice

lindsey-chr-not-found She likes to sing, and can often be heard singing some of her favorite songs. She's really good at it too. She's allowed to have some type of music player and play music out loud. She has the same elemental powers of causes illusion through music, but she also has siren-like abilities which basically make the listener do what she wants

vlanderzine Oooh

lindsey-chr-not-found She likes keeping a daily log just for the sake of it. It's comforting

.vlanderzine Awe

lindsey-chr-not-found She is actually very scared of the faculty

.vlanderzine Oof

lindsey-chr-not-found She LOVES anything horror and has a collection of horror movies to watch. She will often watch the same one 5 times over just for the hell of it

.vlanderzine I think kid Lloyd was probably scared at first too

lindsey-chr-not-found They all were, since they were suddenly kidnapped. But as time went on an they got used to living there, they aren't so scared anymore. Though there I'd a lingering feeling

vlanderzine Yea

vlanderzineThey do on the rare occasion go out when an SCP escapes or a new one is discovered

lindsey-chr-not-found kid Lloyd actually uses his ability to get the faculty to take them back to the city for a bit, where they try to escape

vlanderzineI think they would eventually escape regardless 

lindsey-chr-not-found they would,but be caught again 

vlanderzine Maybe. Regardless, the foundation only has a few ways to really contain them. Some of the staff want to let them go since despite being Keters, they are all obviously not inherently dangerous and would be fine in the real world. They were fine in the real world beforehand

lindsey-chr-not-found yessss

vlanderzine Lloyd uses his powers to get the staff to let the ninja go to the nearby city once a month

lindsey-chr-not-found Yessssssssss

vlanderzine It’s really refreshing for them

lindsey-chr-not-found Yesssssss

lindsey-chr-not-found do you know my into the ninja verse au?

vlanderzine Ye

lindsey-chr-not-found k so what if they were pulled out of their au by accident and help the fusion ninja (aka CAK! Kai, LHH! Lloyd, Movie! Nya, DoTD-F! Cole, Ghost! Zane, and Skybound Magica! Jay) save the multi verse.Ian is the fucker trying to destroy the multi verse right

lindsey-chr-not-found 

Kid Lloyd: *starts crying, begging for him to not destroy the multi verse*

 Ian, desperately trying to resist it: no no I'm NOT falling for that

 Kid Lloyd: pleweeasseeee *literally sobbing* 

 Ian:... okay fine.

 CAK! Kai in the background like: how the HELL did he do that

vlanderzine XD

lindsey-chr-not-found CAK! Kai doesn't understand how they're doing this shit without magic.Movie! Nya is really fascinated by it and like... doesn't stop asking questions

vlanderzine Y E S. The SCP!ninja are just glad to be out of the facility

lindsey-chr-not-found they eventually get into the og au (aka canon Ninjago) and all I can imagine is SCP! Cole stealing cake from OG! Cole and when he's caught he just fucking jumps off the bounty and floats in the sky eating his cake with OG! Coke glaring at him

lindsey-chr-not-found 

SCP! Zane, trying to stop him from entering the kitchen: cole no you know the rules

 OG! Cole: ???? 

 SCP! Cole: HEY LLOYD COME HERE-

vlanderzine Oh my god yes

lindsey-chr-not-found SCP! Adult Lloyd tries stopping him but it doesn't work and all the OG and Fusion ninja can do is watch in confusion

vlanderzine Y E S 

lindsey-chr-not-found 

LHH! Lloyd, watching this happen: damn I wish I could do thatOG! 

Lloyd: you mean... get what you want through crying?

 LHH! Lloyd: nah fam I just wanna cry

lindsey-chr-not-found 

OG! Lloyd, whispering to OG! Kai: was I really like this when I was younger?

vlanderzine Oh god I’m wheezing 

lindsey-chr-not-found lmao during the battle with ian SCP! Kai gets his arm chopped ft completely and when it starts regenerating out of fire both OG! And CAK! Kai are fucking bewildered

.vlanderzine Y E S

lindsey-chr-not-found 

CAK! Kai: h... how...

 SCP! Kai: idk man it just happens

vlanderzine Oh god I’m wheezing. The SCP ninja’s Lloyds especially just defy all logic 

lindsey-chr-not-found Yesss

lindsey-chr-not-found while they're gone the workers at the faculty, especially wu, are going crazy trying to find them

vlanderzine Yes

lindsey-chr-not-found what if when garmadon hears both Lloyds are missing he goes crazy-

vlanderzine There’s a containment breach of the entire monastery thanks to him

 indsey-chr-not-found Yesssss.when the ninja get back it takes them 3 hours to calm evrything down

vlanderzine Yep

lindsey-chr-not-found Both Lloyd's have to spend a few nights with garmadon or else he'll go crazy again

vlanderzine Double yep

vlanderzine SCP numbers

lindsey-chr-not-found Oh shoot how are the numbers even chosne?

vlanderzine In order the SCPs are discovered

lindsey-chr-not-found oh well the ninja are all discovered at the same time so their numbers go from 1-7

vlanderzine Alright

lindsey-chr-not-found Garmadon is discovered later when both Lloyd's help find him, he's either 9 or 10 

vlanderzine How about SCP-2901-1 for adult loud and SCP-2901-2 for kid Lloyd

lindsey-chr-not-found Yesssss

vlanderzine Kai and Nya are SCP-2902 and 2903

 lindsey-chr-not-found Yesss

vlanderzine and it goes so and so fourht for the rest.at first the staff called them 01-07 for simplicity amd as a formality.

lindsey-chr-not-found Yesssss

vlanderzine They insisted on using their names later on though

lindsey-chr-not-found Yesss

vlanderzine Adult Lloyd making candy for kid Lloyd

lindsey-chr-not-found he makes some for both himself and his kid self

vlanderzine CAK! Kai wants to know how tf he’s just making stuff without copying it from something

lindsey-chr-not-found 

SCP! Adult Lloyd: want some? 

 CAK! Kai: h... how

He gives up on trying to understand their power

vlanderzineY E S

lindsey-chr-not-found what if adult Lloyd and kid Lloyd can't be separated for long or else they might die

lindsey-chr-not-found since they're technically the same person

vlanderzine Being separated makes them both really uncomfortable and antsy. There health will slowly decline, and if they are separated for more then 12 hours they’ll both fall into a coma till reunited

lindsey-chr-not-found OH SHIT YESSSS

vlanderzine Kai is also uber protective of both Lloyd’s

lindsey-chr-not-found Yessssssss

vlanderzine Back when the ninja had first been brought to the site and they were still using D-class personal, one of them knocked over Kid Lloyd. Nobody is sure how, but Kai glared a hole through the wall at the guy who knocked him over

lindsey-chr-not-found YESSSSS

vlanderzine They ended up doing a lot of tests on Kai, Nya, and Adult Lloyd since there abilities were considered the most dangerous,Little do they know Jay could knock out the entire facility whenever he wanted

lindsey-chr-not-found Yrssssss

lindsey-chr-not-found In an attempt to escape he does

vanderzine The ninja only stay because Kid Lloyd was taken hostage

lindsey-chr-not-found Yessss

vlanderzine They locked him in a soundproof room so his ability couldn’t affect anyone

lindsey-chr-not-found He was crying and screaming for help. He was so scared

.vlanderzine Y E S he ninja didn’t try to escape again after that for fear of what they may do to him

lindsey-chr-not-found Yesss

vlanderzine Also also

lindsey-chr-not-found OWO?

vlanderzine Being around Jay also sort of scrambles your thoughts

lindsey-chr-not-found Yessaaaas

vlanderzine There’s a lot of electricity in the air around him, so it messes with your brain and the rest of your nervous system

chr-not-found hmmm what should the icon and banner be

vlanderzinei think the icon could maybe be a stylized SCP logo while the banner has each of the ninja with their SCP numbers

lindsey-chr-not-found YESSSSSS

vlanderzine it probably be head shots side by side with lloyd's split in half. one side is kid lloyd and the other is adult 

loydlindsey-chr-not-found YESSSSSSSS

vlanderzine:)

lindsey-chr-not-found:D 

@sensei-twinkles here it is, the uncut version of the convo that started it all

[pinkhairedlily]

Chapter 6 - Student Council President Sakura

SCPS AO3 | PREVIOUS CHAPTER

“When’s your birthday, Sasuke?” Naruto asked unprompted. He was eating an onigiri in one hand and writing in a notebook with another. “Captain Haru gave me a journal and told me to fill in the dates.”

“Why are you treating it like a slam book?”

“What’s a slam book? Why are you even changing the topic?”

“July 23.”

Naruto went silent for a moment as he jotted down Sasuke’s name. “Oh, last week? During our sleepover?”

“You mean, hostage sleepover.”

“Ah shit. We didn’t get you a present. Sorry, grumpy.” Naruto’s face was sincerely apologetic and Sasuke was on the verge of nonchalantly assuring him that it was all right when he heard his following reply. “But make sure you get me one okay. It will be on October 10.”

“I wish I was allowed to physically harm you right now but your training next week will suffice,” Sasuke jested right back. “I’ll put in a word with Haru to make you suffer.” He would have said more clapbacks if they didn’t hear loud footsteps running their way.

Their two heads popped just a few inches above the bushes that lined behind the fence and saw a disheveled Sakura catching her breath with bent knees and her arms full of folders. Sasuke surmised she might have come from a council meeting.

“It’s Sakura – “ Sasuke covered Naruto’s loud mouth with his palm.

Her phone rang inside her skirt’s pockets, and her expression panicked when she saw the caller id. The folders fumbled out of her grasp when she answered it. “Oh hello, Kakashi-sensei.”

Both the boys’ brows raised in curiosity when her voice went a pitch higher.

“Ah, I’m actually out of the campus right now, Sensei. Got an errand to run. I’ll see you for consultations…..soon?” Then she ended the call. They all heard another set of footsteps nearing their location, and Sakura repeatedly said I’m screwed to herself.

Naruto wrestled out of Sasuke’s headlock and pulled a surprised Sakura inside their hiding place. The latter grumbled but quickly gathered the folders from the ground and followed suit. Three heads now looked over the bushes, and true enough, Kakashi appeared in the clearing with his phone in his hand. “That’s funny. I thought I heard her voice here.”

When they were sure he was out of their sight and earshot, Sasuke signaled a thumbs up, and Naruto, not missing a beat, started with the obvious question. “Why are you hiding from our mathematics teacher?”

Sakura blushed with intensity, her cheeks the color of cherry tomatoes with a ripeness Sasuke liked the most. She flushed so intensely she couldn’t hide it for her sake. The thought of wanting to have that kind of privilege crossed his mind. “Uh, he wanted a report from me, but I wasn’t able to finish it.” Like the self-aware person that she was, she immediately got her bearings and recognized the place. “This is behind the library.”

“It’s Sasuke’s favorite hiding place until I barged in. And now, it’s yours too.” Naruto grinned at her even when he just revealed this place’s existence to their student council president.

“Shouldn’t you be asking me permission first?” Sasuke arranged the folders first before returning them to Sakura who seemed to calm down a bit.

She laughed dryly. “Technically, it’s public property so we don’t need your permission…grumpy.”

Naruto erupted in laughter while Sasuke closed his eyes in annoyance. Two loud-mouths in what was supposed to be in his safe space and yet all he felt was just mild annoyance. Stopping his thoughts before they ran him aground, he rummaged through their storage bin and found an extra sandwich he bought this morning and the last pack of his cherry tomato juice.

He passed the food to her and gave her a little bit of scolding. “At least have your lunch first before making fun of me.”

“You’re really giving her a tomato juice?” Naruto never could hide his disgust for certain food. “Don’t tell me this is your rite of passage.”

Sasuke glared at the blonde, forcing him to shut up. “Bring any more people here, and I’ll tell your captain to drag you to hell.” That wasn’t so difficult, given that Haru has taken a liking to him, for what he didn’t know. He just treated him like a big brother would, like Itachi would.

Sakura took a sip in the middle of their banter, and she emitted a surprised sound. “So this is what it tasted like? It’s actually good.”

That was the first time someone liked what he liked, and he vaguely realized he was waiting for her opinion. With that, he had trouble suppressing the smile that started to form on his face, so he looked away and mustered his focus on the nearby yells of a practicing dragonboat team.

“Oh, I forgot, belated happy birthday Sasuke.”

He strengthened his resolve not to turn his head just as quickly because he was sure the shock was visible in his face. He was so taken aback he didn’t hear Naruto ask Sakura where she learned of it.

“I came across our class records during the meeting and saw the date. Sucks we weren’t able to get you a present. Anyway, I gotta run. I have another presentation to the principal for a personal project.” Sakura finished off her sandwich in one bite and ran out of the secluded space.

Naruto stared after her disappearing figure, the bunched-up juice carton and sandwich wrapper in his hands. “I should make her a decent lunch sometime. I don’t think she’s eating well.”

But Sasuke had another observation in mind. “Why didn’t you ask for her birthday?”

“I know already. I asked Hinata about it.”

--------------------------------

Sakura tried to catch up with the baseball captain in the seniors’ hallways before she would lose him to his after classes dates with Hinata. “Haru, wait up please.”

His brown hair has grown longer to hide his undercut which Naruto wanted to replicate as he often mentioned in between their conversations in classes. It was actually a wonder how the usually demure Hinata gravitated towards Haru who had a strong personality. His annoyed gaze softened when he realized it was her calling him, his smile turning into a wide grin as she raced through the halls.

“No running, Ms. President,” he chided.

Sakura playfully punched his shoulder, her fist’s impact light as she struggled to catch her breath. “Can I at least have some of your time? I promise I won’t take long.”

The captain’s face took on an incredulous look. “How the tables have turned.”

They found themselves on a rooftop, away from the incidental eavesdroppers (if there were any), and moreover they needed some quiet space to talk about important matters. The first of which was the baseball team’s finances.

“I gotta hand this to you rather straightforwardly. The board didn’t foresee your qualification in the preliminaries hence they didn’t allot a big budget for your team – not for training, not for travel expenses, not for uniforms, and miscellaneous expenses.” He towered over her, her height a third short from his shoulders, but when he hunched them forward and leaned against the railings, he was almost shoulder to shoulder with her. “So what are your plans?”

Back in junior high, he would often ruffle her hair out of her immaculate ponytail, and this closeness wasn’t really odd because they were from the same town and grew on the same block. Distance just crept in as they made more friends and entered different circles.

“My personal savings,” Haru simply replied. “Our coach will chip in half of our projected expenses so we’re good to go.”

Sakura sighed. “As always, you don’t like to rely on anyone.”

“We’re not really too far from each other, Sakura. So what’s your plan anyway?” Haru turned with his back this time against the railing.

“Pass-the-Hat.”

Haru nodded. “And your savings.”

Sakura shook her head vehemently. “Hell no.”

“Gears are turning in your head, and I can see you’ll fill in a part with your savings. Stop it, Haruno.”

“I’m telling you, I won’t give you a part of my savings. Anyway – “

“Anyway? There’s more?” Haru hastily looked at his watch to check the time, almost formed a reply, and thought better of it, hiding his wrist from his view.

“I saw your career sheet form. You know you could always try to apply for an athletic scholarship, right?” If she can hazard a guess, Haru may not be planning at all to proceed to college. He always has his father’s fishing business to take over back in their town.

“No association would vet for a player who only qualified for prelims on his senior year.” Haru playfully ruffled her hair, the gesture she thought was once forgotten between them. “So don’t feel sorry for me. I already have Hinata to deal with.”

“You sound so pessimistic when you’re just going away for a year until she decides to follow you. Your story’s almost like a fairytale,” Sakura scoffed.

“First of all, long distance relationships don’t work and second and last of all, there’s her father to think about.” Haru let out a long sigh. “Believe me, Sakura, I want to make it work, but I feel like the distance between us had already set in even before I go.”

--------------------------------

Haru was right. While Pass-the-Hat garnered lots of amounts enough to shoulder the logistics of the training of the baseball team before the semis, there wasn’t enough to pay for their new equipment. She could ask the teachers, but she knew Haru and the coach have already asked for prior favors. At the last minute before the trip got cancelled, Sakura anonymously put in two-thirds of her savings into the donations pool which the captain got wind of and somehow reached Kakashi.

While she was successful in avoiding him for the first few days of the school trip while Naruto and his team was in Fukuoka, he caught her alone as she was reading the markers outside the walls of a castle.

“Haruno Sakura.” His voice startled her. She turned around, like a good student that she was, and waved a bit too enthusiastically. “Mind telling me why you won’t talk to me outside of our council meetings? Did I say any directive that offended you or overworked you? I need to have an open communication with you kids.”

Kids. “Ah, I was just a little busy these past weeks,” Sakura assured him. She nervously fidgeted with his rubber band that was still on her wrist. His eyes followed her movements, and she hid them quickly behind her back, afraid of what he would say if he realized.

“I heard from the principal that he greenlighted your personal project, and that you will be presenting this to the board next week for a possible funding. You accomplished that on top of the feats you pulled to bring the baseball team to the semis.” As Kakashi recounted her accomplishments, she couldn’t help the blush that rose to her cheeks. She was finding it difficult to say an excuse right now. “So I’m returning your personal donation.”

Sakura stared at him directly, never mind the raven irises that drowned her in undivided attention. “What?” He smiled, highlighting even more his mole, and she gasped, breathless at the sight.

“Don’t worry your pretty head over these things. You’re too young for this. I’ll have the funds downloaded to your bank, all right.” Kakashi patted her head softly and disappeared in the meandering crowds.

She slapped the rubber band against the thin skin of her wrist repeatedly. She didn’t know whether she should feel grateful that her savings were back or feel angry that she was patronized because of her age. Didn’t Kakashi know that teenagers grow up faster than their actual age and that she had every right to worry her pretty head? When will he start seeing her as she was?

Her self-deprecating thoughts ran awry when someone took hold of her wrist that has gone red from the slap of the rubber band.

For someone who alternated between being grim-faced or stoic, Sasuke’s hand was gentle and kind. She knew that ever since she saw him in the café, all the good things in him seeping out through cracks in his wall. Right now, she knew he was worried about the supportless baseball team.

“They’re losing, aren’t they?” Sakura suppressed the overwhelming emotions from her earlier interaction with Kakashi and concocted a plan in her head.

She coordinated with the guides and had them add a stop at the baseball field at Fukuoka for one last hurrah for the team.

--------------------------------

Thirty minutes later, their school witnessed how the top teams decimated Naruto’s team. No innings won, batters relentless, and Haru got injured. Sakura, sensing the dampened atmosphere among the student body, rallied yells, earning surprised looks from the team members.

Through the crowds, Sasuke saw Hinata, her fingers twirling the ends of her long braid, and her eyes scanning the place for her boyfriend…until her gaze shifted to Naruto. He traversed the space to stand beside her, breaking his own rule to remain uninvolved in other people’s affairs.

But he owed this to Naruto and Haru who never failed to include him in after practice dinners and effectively kept the gaping depression in his apartment away.

“Your boyfriend has a broken arm, but you’re looking at Naruto.” He said, even before he could announce his presence to her.

Hinata turned her face to him and repeated his words. “My boyfriend has a broken arm but I cannot look at broken limbs for too long. Thanks for pointing that out.”

“There’s a second statement after my but.”

“Hmm, my eyes just probably gravitated to him unknowingly. But it couldn’t be helped, right? He just has this bright, sunshine energy.” Hinata shrugged, seemingly confused by her words as well.

Sasuke wanted to prod more but her eyes narrowed at something behind him. When he glanced back, he saw Sakura stood in tiptoes as she hugged a downtrodden Naruto. If he wasn’t so sad, he would have blushed and awkwardly pushed his crush away, but for this instance, he choked back his sobs and eventually cried on her shoulder.

“Maybe the student council can also support other teams which are gearing up for nationals. You may suffer backlash if favoritism becomes obvious.”

He scoffed at Hinata’s advice. “I’ll tell our student council president that.”

Sasuke made his way to the blonde and pinkette, his arms engulfing both of their heads in a very rare hug. He felt Sakura stiffen beneath him while Naruto changed shoulders and cried openly against Sasuke’s shirt.

This he didn’t mind, as long as both of their faces were hidden from her view.
