Upvote goes in, SCP comes out1. Give it a try!
Dr. Orion (don't judge their sense of fashion) looking into the Afto Crater.
Welcome to the Afto Crater National Park!
(Also known as Site-39, but you didn't hear it from me, capiche?)
You must be here for our main attraction, the titular Afto Crater. Yes, yes, we know it's small. That's not the point here.
Hmm? What's that? Not a crater, you say? Well, technically this is indeed a hole, but we just call it a crater in hopes no one else will try to find a non-existent bottom that leads directly to hell2.
Yes, you heard me right, hell3. Wait, what are you doing?
DON'T GO DOWN THAT HOLE!
Goddamn it, that's the fifth one this week. I really gotta get to work on that high fence.
(Imagine yourself falling for about 12 seconds. Please. We're kinda low on budget right now.)
Hey.
You're finally awake.
You were trying to skydive to hell, right? Fell onto that ledge right there, same as me.
Who am I? Why, I'm the gift shop owner, of course.

Well, many thanks for your patronage. Have a pleasant journey!
As you speed down the increasingly warmer one-way elevator to hell clad in an inflatable reflective Among Us costume, you notice several bright panels whizzing past seconds before you pass out from heatstroke.8
