A New Challenge Appears! Dmatix' Five Word Extravaganza!

Dmatix 06 Oct 2013 01:58

Have you ever felt your SCP idea is too coherent? Are you not having any trouble coming up with novel concepts again and again? Are you tired of your readers respecting you? Fear not, because, ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, I bring you Dmatix's Five Word Extravaganza!

The challenge is simple: pick five words completely at random (using a random generator such as this, and use all five words as major components in your SCP, and only those five. For easy mode, you can pick ten and choose the five words you want.

If you choose to try it, please post your words here.

Prison, saliva, number, playground, guillotine.

That saliva part is going to be a pain in the ass to incorporate.

how about a guillotine disguised as a slide that eats people!,and in doing so it sends them to some weird prison, however, even after containment, the number of child prisoners is still increasing, suggesting multiple instances.

Might as well put this on the record, SCP-1740 was for this challenge. What do I win? :D

That's two successful SCPs from this challenge I know of.

Three cheers for Dmatix! Horray for Dmatix!

Seriously, I'm glad to see the challenge was well received and was in some way responsible for new SCPs. Does this crusty heart good.

mouse

dinosaur

spine

cat

chewing gum

A mouse from the time of the dinosaurs that's now used as a flavor additive in chewing gum, which turns you into a cat? Interesting.

vitamins
mulberry
laser

Hm. Workable.

coin
ghost
salt
onion
contract

This one actually seems pretty easy. Coin and salt are ingredients in a ritual that summons a ghost that you form a contract with. Onion is a bit trickier to work in, I'll grant.

Re: A New Challenge Appears! Dmatix' Five Word Extravaganza!

Dmatix 06 Oct 2013 02:42

Tis the ghost of an onion, of course.

Re: A New Challenge Appears! Dmatix' Five Word Extravaganza!

DeviantDharma 06 Oct 2013 02:44

Maybe the ghost manifests itself by using poltergeist powers to cut onions into words? Perhaps he thinks all the crying is because people are super scared of him. That could be interesting.

A vampire ghost that tries to get people to sell their souls for money, but can only count it out in loose change. It's contained by salted onions.

I might actually use this to finally get around to writing a skip.
blister
flood
bee
pocket watch
honey

Re: A New Challenge Appears! Dmatix' Five Word Extravaganza!

A pocket watch that releases a flood of honey bees that sting you and create blisters that leak honey?

Owned, of course, by an elderly beekeeper who passed away, and found on the corpse of his traitorous business partner who tried to sell the business and destroy the beehives specifically being asked in the beekeeper's will to never sell the business.

Oh … Now I prefer your idea :(

Re: A New Challenge Appears! Dmatix' Five Word Extravaganza!

Francis Willjam 06 Oct 2013 19:43

Just a rough one hour draft of what I came up with. I completely forgot about the word flood but oh well.

http://sandbox.scp-wiki.net/derp (I think that's how you link sandboxes - God knows.)

e. I'm off to the gym now so I'll have a couple of hours to think about it anyway but just thought I'd chuck something up before I leave. I'm sure I'll be at the gym whimpering at how many stupid things I said/did. I purposefully haven't put a recovery log in because I wanna think about that.

A snail mask found on an abandoned divers buoy that washed ashore. The mask, when worn, allows the wearer to see through the eyes of a member of a colony of intelligent snails. Such things observed include everything from the teaching of religious doctrines to scouting out human picnics.

…this is hard. :/

no wonder you can post comment tales so quickly!

_{I think this'll work better as a tale though…}

Well, fleas jump… and you could have an outbreak of anomalous neck-fleas in Italy… and their existence is a mistake caused by someone trying to make anomalous flea medicine (which is applied to the back of the head/neck on a cat so they can't lick it off)
