As I said with the draft, the idea is very adult fear, and managed to truly creep me out, which happens only rarely. Good show.

This is the discussion related to the wiki page SCP-1606.
Inspired by a story my mom told me about her great grandpa, who she only knew of because of footsteps she heard from the upper floor of her grandma's house. Her grandma told her that he had Alzheimer's. My mom didn't recall hearing about him dying or leaving, but he's not there any more.
I'll be out until tomorrow evening, so I'll address comments and concerns then. Also, feel free to suggest non-dumb names for the list.

This is good and deserves a solid upvote.
I am not sure why, but it makes me feel like I'm reading some sort of averaged product of all good skips - something that should be kept in the BIPM to compare all other articles to. No bad parts, but nothing extraordinarily good either. No mind or format screws. No controversial redactions or abused GoIs. No metaness. Just a good solid article.
I'm glad that my article is exceptional in its average goodness. Does that make sense?

An average of "all good skips"… in other words, while it doesn't have the punch or impact of 173 or 231, it's an excellent entry. Not every anomalous item has to be OMG THE MOST [something]. Sometimes it's better to have an entry that isn't written like it should be the Foundation's Top Priority (like a 682).
(account deleted)This is a pretty good article; it's not trying too hard to impress me, and it's a bit dialed back, but I like that a lot - it's really refreshing to see something that's a good idea and isn't jumping in my face. The idea is interesting, it holds my attention, and it has enough to make me ponder about it.
Oh, and never being able to form new memories just makes me die a little inside. That is just squicky in its own right.
I like it.
But there's one thing in the article that freaked me the hell out when I read it.
This kinda reminds me of SCP-1782. Both rooms/collections thereof that are little more than extensions of the mind of someone of restricted intellectual capacity who should be long dead.
SCP-1606-1 is an entity that takes the form of a middle-aged Caucasian female identified as Marissa Schmidt,
What does she think about two strangers living in her house?
Further, no attempts at repairing or cleaning SCP-1606 have been effective, with any changes made becoming undone almost immediately after completion of the task.
Does this prevent a locked door from being installed to the stairway leading to the second floor?
SCP-1606-1 has never expressed the desire to leave SCP-1606, nor has it been able to provide a satisfactory explanation for the anomalous properties of SCP-1606.
Is she even aware that there's anything anomalous going on? Because I think she'd need to be aware of it before being able to provide any sort of explanation.
Subjects affected in this manner will frequently become lost when moving within or between rooms;
"Whose bright idea was it to send Agent Ryoga Hibiki up there?"
What does she think about two strangers living in her house?
She ain't thrilled, but a combination of a good cover story and general hospitality would probably serve to keep her from calling the cops.
Does this prevent a locked door from being installed to the stairway leading to the second floor?
Yes, but it probably wouldn't even be necessary; neither of the agents are dumb enough to go up there, and any personnel or civilian loss can be chalked up to "weeding out the dumb ones".
Is she even aware that there's anything anomalous going on? Because I think she'd need to be aware of it before being able to provide any sort of explanation.
Yes, but only because the Foundation told her so. She most likely writes off everything strange via cognitive dissonance and being an imprint of a person who didn't know anything was up. If I didn't think it would clutter up the SCP, I would have gone in more depth on 1606-1.
"Whose bright idea was it to send Agent Ryoga Hibiki up there?"
Never heard of it, must be some anime.
