**Item #:** SCP-8107
**Object Class:** Keter
## **Special Containment Procedures**
SCP-8107 remains **uncontained**. Due to its unpredictable manifestations and the compulsive nature of its interactions, direct containment is currently deemed **infeasible**. The Foundation has established **Protocol 8107-PHANTOM**, which focuses on:
- **Tracking sightings** of SCP-8107.
- **Suppressing information regarding its existence.**
- **Issuing warnings to high-risk individuals.**
However, these measures have proven largely ineffective. Once SCP-8107 has initiated interaction, **escape is impossible**.
Any individual confirmed to have engaged SCP-8107 must be placed under **24-hour observation.** If they have lost all five poker chips, **termination protocols are to be prepared.** **No subject has survived beyond this time frame.**
---
## **Description**
SCP-8107, known only as **"Roy,"** manifests as a **human male wearing a black hoodie and black or blue jeans.** Despite its unassuming appearance, SCP-8107 possesses an **intense, ███████**, which is believed to play a role in its compulsion effect.
SCP-8107 **only appears during transitional periods of daily life**, such as:
- Lunch breaks
- Commutes
- Walking home
- Breaks between work shifts
- Playgrounds (SCP-8107 does not interact with children)
Once it has selected a participant, SCP-8107 will **lock eyes with them** and issue a simple question:
> **"Want to play?"**
If the subject acknowledges SCP-8107 in any way—**verbally, physically, or even by maintaining eye contact for too long**—they become **unable to refuse**. **There is no known method of backing out once engagement has begun.**
SCP-8107 then initiates a **gambling session**, producing a **deck of red, rose-engraved playing cards** that emit a faint glow. The participant is given **five poker chips, each valued at $1.** However, these chips **do not represent money**—they each represent **one-fifth of the participant’s soul.**
With each wager, the player **sacrifices a fraction of themselves.** If they lose all five chips, they will **die exactly 24 hours later.**
---
## **Games Offered**
SCP-8107 offers three games:
- **Roulette** – SCP-8107 places **six cards face-down.** One is a **joker**; the rest are normal. Players must **point** at a card without touching it. They may **increase the number of normal cards by adding more chips to their bet.**
- **Blackjack** – Standard rules apply.
- **Texas Hold ‘Em** – Played with SCP-8107 acting as the dealer.
Winning is **possible.** However, subjects who win describe an overwhelming **sense of unease**, stating that SCP-8107’s expression becomes **completely unreadable.** Without speaking, it **collects the cards, nods, and departs.**
---
## **Notable Observations**
- SCP-8107 **only identifies itself as "Roy."** Attempts to obtain further details are met with **silence or indifference.**
- SCP-8107 **is willing to answer some questions** but does so selectively. It does not react to threats or demands.
- SCP-8107 is **not overtly hostile** but has been observed to **smirk knowingly** when players hesitate before placing a bet.
---
## **Foundation Status**
**SCP-8107 remains uncontained.** The Foundation monitors its appearances and tracks affected individuals, but all containment efforts have failed. Attempts to **detain, neutralize, or prevent interactions** have been met with **immediate failure.**
Public warnings are **ineffective**, as once SCP-8107 engages a person, **avoidance is no longer possible.** Current priority is **tracking and observation.**

Revision 15:
**Item #:** SCP-8129
**Object Class:** Ticonderoga
----
**Special Containment Procedures**
SCP-8129 remains uncontained. Due to its unpredictable manifestations and the compulsive nature of its interactions, direct containment is currently deemed **infeasible**. The Foundation has established Protocol 8129-PHANTOM, which focuses on:
* Tracking sightings of SCP-8129.
* Suppressing information regarding its existence.
* Issuing warnings to high-risk individuals.
However, these measures have proven largely ineffective. Once SCP-8129 has initiated interaction, escape is impossible.
Any individual confirmed to have engaged SCP-8129 is classified as **SCP-8129-1** and must be placed under 24-hour observation. If they have lost all five poker chips, termination protocols are to be prepared. No subject has survived beyond this time frame.
----
**Description**
SCP-8129, known only as **"Roy,"** manifests as a human male wearing a black hoodie and black or blue jeans. Despite its unassuming appearance, SCP-8129 possesses an intense, ███████, which is believed to play a role in its compulsion effect.
SCP-8129 only appears during transitional periods of daily life, such as:
* **Lunch breaks**
* **Commutes**
* **Walking home**
* **Breaks between work shifts**
Once it has selected a participant, SCP-8129 will **lock eyes with them** and issue a simple question:
> **"Want to play?"**
If the subject acknowledges SCP-8129 in any way—verbally, physically, or even by maintaining eye contact for too long—they become designated SCP-8129-1 and are unable to refuse. There is no known method of backing out once engagement has begun.
[[f>image SCP-8129-2%20Card size="small"]]
SCP-8129 will then produce SCP-8129-2, a >deck of red, rose-engraved playing cards that emit a faint glow. The exact composition of SCP-8129-2 appears variable, with cards rearranging or disappearing between games.
Each SCP-8129-1 is given five poker chips, each valued at $1. However, these chips do not represent money—they each represent one-fifth of the participant’s soul.
SCP-8129 never explicitly states the true nature of the wager. All games are presented as casual, low-stakes gambling. SCP-8129-1 instances have universally expressed confusion and distress when losing their final chip.
With each wager, the player sacrifices a fraction of themselves. If they lose all five chips, they will die exactly 24 hours later, with no discernible cause of death.
----
**Games Offered**
SCP-8129 offers three games, all played with SCP-8129-2:
* **Roulette** – SCP-8129 places **six cards face-down**. One is a **Joker**; the rest are normal. Players must **point** at a card without touching it. They may **increase the number of normal cards by adding more chips to their bet**.
* **Blackjack** – Standard rules apply.
* **Texas Hold ‘Em** – Played with SCP-8129 acting as the dealer.
Winning is possible. However, SCP-8129-1 instances who win describe an overwhelming sense of unease, stating that SCP-8129’s expression becomes completely unreadable. Without speaking, it collects the cards, nods, and departs.
----
**Effects on SCP-8129-1**
- Any individual who engages in a game with SCP-8129 is designated SCP-8129-1.
- SCP-8129-1 instances experience no immediate physical effects from losing chips. However, subjects frequently describe feeling "lighter" or "disconnected".
- SCP-8129-1 instances who lose all five poker chips expire precisely 24 hours after their final loss.
- Autopsies on SCP-8129-1 instances reveal no trauma, poisoning, or detectable cause of death—their heart simply stops.

**Test Log 8129-1**
**Date:** ██/██/████
**Subjects:** Dr. Kate Holloway (Lead Researcher), Dr. Remy Calloway (Senior Researcher)
**Objective:** Establish interaction with SCP-8129 and analyze its behavior under controlled conditions. Attempt to alter the game’s terms.
**BEGIN LOG**
[SCP-8129 is seated at a table in reinforced containment chamber 2. Dr. Kate Holloway and Dr. Remy Calloway enter. Holloway stops after stepping inside, Calloway looks uneasy. The door closes.]
**SCP-8129:** "Want to play?"
[Holloway looks at Calloway, who pulls out a chair and sits down.]
**Dr. Holloway:** "Roy you know why we’re here."
[nothing to report so far]
**SCP-8129:** "Well, I’m a dealer. I deal cards. That’s what I’m for. So why did you come to me?"
[Calloway reaches into his coat pocket and takes out a standard deck of playing cards, placing them on the table.]
**Dr. Calloway:** "We want to play, Roy. But on our terms this time."
[Calloway shuffles the deck. SCP-8129 watches.]
**SCP-8129:** "I don’t use other cards. We play with my cards or not at all."
[Calloway stops shuffling, looking unsatisfied. Holloway pulls out SCP-8129-2 from a secure container and sets it on the table. A set of red playing cards with metal rose engravings. SCP-8129 collects the cards, looking through them, then begins shuffling.]
**SCP-8129:** "Thank you."
[SCP-8129 shuffles the deck. Nothing else to report.]
**SCP-8129:** "Each player gets five $1 chips."
[SCP-8129 hands five poker chips toward each participant. They resemble unbranded white poker chips with blue accents, ceramic, possibly clay.]
**Dr. Calloway:** "So, if I lose all these?"
[SCP-8129 doesn’t answer.]
**First Round: Blackjack**
**Dr. Holloway:** "Blackjack?"
**SCP-8129:** "Yes."
[SCP-8129 deals the first hand. Holloway is given a 10 and a 6—16. Calloway receives a Queen and a 5—15. SCP-8129’s own cards reveal a Jack and a 4—14.]
**Dr. Holloway:** "Stay."
**Dr. Calloway:** "Hit."
[SCP-8129 deals Calloway a 3, bringing his total to 18. He looks stressed.]
**Dr. Calloway:** "I’ll hit."
[SCP-8129 deals him the Ace of Spades.]
**SCP-8129:** "Bust."
[SCP-8129 reaches forward, collecting his chips. Calloway looks agitated.]
**Dr. Calloway:** "Damn it."
[He stands abruptly, pushing his chair back.]
**Dr. Holloway:** "Is he out of the game?"
**SCP-8129:** "Let’s make this more fun."
[SCP-8129 arranges six cards face-down on the table in a deliberate pattern.]
**SCP-8129:** "One of these is a Joker. You are not to touch these cards—only signal toward one, and I will reveal it. If you get the Joker, you lose. Understood?"
[Holloway examines the layout of the cards before pointing to one.]
**Dr. Holloway:** "That one."
[SCP-8129 flips over the 3 of Clubs.]
**SCP-8129:** "Not a Joker. My turn."
[SCP-8129 flips a card. 4 of Diamonds.]
**Dr. Holloway:** "Again?"
**SCP-8129:** "Again."
[Holloway points to another card. SCP-8129 flips it over. The Joker.]
**Dr. Holloway:** "Shit."
[Holloway reaches for the poker chip, attempting to retrieve her lost chip, but it evaporates into vapor or smoke.]
**Dr. Holloway:** "Huh?"
**SCP-8129:** "Cheating will not be tolerated."
**Dr. Holloway:** "Where did the chip go?"
**SCP-8129:** "You lost the bet. You lost the chip."
**Last Round: Roulette**
[Holloway has a single chip. SCP-8129 snaps its fingers. Two face-down cards appear in front of him.]
**SCP-8129:** "Pick one."
[Holloway looks stressed and signals for the left one. SCP-8129 slides the left card over to her.]
**Dr. Holloway:** "I flip it?"
[The card is a Joker. Holloway repeats the word no. Her chip vanishes from her pocket. SCP-8129 calmly collects the cards, placing them in the red box.]
**SCP-8129:** "You’re out of the game."
**Dr. Holloway:** "This is the stupidest game ever."
[She looks heavily stressed and rubs her temples.]
**Dr. Holloway:** "Wait."
**SCP-8129:** "Yes?"
**Dr. Holloway:** "What happens when someone runs out of chips entirely?"
**SCP-8129:** "They lose the game."
[Holloway looks unsatisfied with the answer.]
**Dr. Holloway:** "So, Remy and I both lost?"
**SCP-8129:** "Yes. You have both run out of chips. You are out of the game."
**Dr. Holloway:** "…What happens now?"
**SCP-8129:** "You move on. Goodbye."
