I've been here since December 2022 (and technically earlier, 2022 was just when I fully joined the site) but, as my bio suggests, I am God's dumbest Homo Sapien and did not do an introduction, so here it is.

Hi, I'm Alois Garmound. I've been floating around since at least 2018, when I was a child and had developed an interest in SCPs from the holy trinity: Youtuber Let's Plays, Roblox, and those weird animations from back in the day (you know which ones)

I'm an aspiring SCP writer who wants to be able to contribute to the catalogs with my own creative work, and so far I've written quite a of SCPs and have thought of countless more to write about, but as of now none have been greenlit for the front pages.

My writing style is much more traditional than what I like to call 'the Great Essaying.' In other words, when I make an SCP I don't usually make it as long as the Bible (I really do not like writing long-ass essays on SCPs that can easily be explained in shorter terms. Its supposed to be like a government document, not a novel in itself.)

Overall, I'm just here to write and have fun. I hope you guys can have fun with me too! And remember,

A car, or an automobile, is a motor vehicle with wheels. Most definitions of cars state that they run primarily on roads, seat one to eight people, have four wheels, and mainly transport people rather than cargo. There are around one billion cars in use worldwide.

The French inventor Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot built the first steam-powered road vehicle in 1769, while the Swiss inventor François Isaac de Rivaz designed and constructed the first internal combustion-powered automobile in 1808. The modern car—a practical, marketable automobile for everyday use—was invented in 1886, when the German inventor Carl Benz patented his Benz Patent-Motorwagen. Commercial cars became widely available during the 20th century. The 1901 Oldsmobile Curved Dash and the 1908 Ford Model T, both American cars, are widely considered the first mass-produced and mass-affordable cars, respectively. Cars were rapidly adopted in the US, where they replaced horse-drawn carriages. In Europe and other parts of the world, demand for automobiles did not increase until after World War II. In the 21st century, car usage is still increasing rapidly, especially in China, India, and other newly industrialised countries.

Cars have controls for driving, parking, passenger comfort, and a variety of lamps. Over the decades, additional features and controls have been added to vehicles, making them progressively more complex. These include rear-reversing cameras, air conditioning, navigation systems, and in-car entertainment. Most cars in use in the early 2020s are propelled by an internal combustion engine, fueled by the combustion of fossil fuels. Electric cars, which were invented early in the history of the car, became commercially available in the 2000s and are predicted to cost less to buy than petrol-driven cars before 2025. The transition from fossil fuel-powered cars to electric cars features prominently in most climate change mitigation scenarios, such as Project Drawdown's 100 actionable solutions for climate change.

There are costs and benefits to car use. The costs to the individual include acquiring the vehicle, interest payments (if the car is financed), repairs and maintenance, fuel, depreciation, driving time, parking fees, taxes, and insurance. The costs to society include resources used to produce cars and fuel, maintaining roads, land-use, road congestion, air pollution, noise pollution, public health, and disposing of the vehicle at the end of its life. Traffic collisions are the largest cause of injury-related deaths worldwide. Personal benefits include on-demand transportation, mobility, independence, and convenience. Societal benefits include economic benefits, such as job and wealth creation from the automotive industry, transportation provision, societal well-being from leisure and travel opportunities. People's ability to move flexibly from place to place has far-reaching implications for the nature of societies.

Alabaster?? Is that a Starsector reference??
Anyways, +1


Can you stand up for yourself?

Please don't ask me to do crit right now. I'm currently not doing much crit to focus on some exams. Sorry.

Another Xexnon banger, and with a Chicago Spirit twist. A wonderful piece to show how harsh, and dangerous it is when you get on MC&D’s bad side in this brand new canon. I hope to see more of your take on this format, and more MC&D fighting GOIs. +1

Got it, thanks! I'm looking forward to the next in the series!

YESSSSS
SPIRIT MOMENCE
I am absolutely chewing on this, my autistic hyperfixation is sated, put that Chappell through TORMENT
hopefully this is the first of more xexnon-written Spirit articles hehehehehe, this is great work!!

Alright, I removed the personnel file, added a fourth interview, and made some other minor changes. It's still a pretty open-ended story, which is the intention. Let me know if it still feels incomplete.

this has been a spectacular piece at every stage. so hyped to see the goi format get published at well. really stellar work on this one.

Thank you for giving your thoughts btw

Was the discovery addendum left on purpose?

Yeah, I just couldn't think of a good origin yet.

Was it regardless of the size and area?

Yes. Its fixed at 60 seconds. It only lost 67% of the site's concrete because not all of the site's concrete are adjacent to each other.

And I'm not convinced that just stealing could send someone to death row easily

I clarified already this on discord

how did it take me this long to write a MC&D goi format. im a fake fan

god this bit me hard when the idea came to me. thanks to TyrastafrTyrastafr who is the most autistic about the Chicago Spirit. you helped me to ideate this one really well and im very glad this came out the way this did. i wanted to do a spirit article in BDB for a while—I just never knew it would be this soon, or like this!

if you’re wondering about the format, this is very heavily inspired by stormbreathstormbreath’s Night’s Collection format, albeit with obvious deviations in line with Black Diamond Billions, such as to the nature to Percival and Mr. Night…along with their relationship, haha. That’s not counting also this entry shifts the end of the Chicago Spirit to come at MC&D’s hands instead of the Foundation, as is what is most traditionally told.

Big thank you to ubergooberubergoober for the amazing crit that helped me polish this to a diamond sheen. You helped me evaluate a lot about my work actually, and I like to think I learned a lot from this piece. Thanks so much for being involved with crit!

Ok I understand but the SCP dosent have a complex story, and yeah I like telling histories but this SCP isnt a story is just an anomaly contain by the foundation, so please if you want more details of the SCP ask for the sandbox page,

SCPs are not just "anomalies in the database". That's just how they're presented. The SCP format has always been a platform for telling stories. You need to explain your story.

ETA: No. If someone wants to read your draft, they will ask. You should go back to your original post and explain what a "sandworm" is.

Well you can ask for the sandbox page to see the complete SCP, but I will try yo improve the description.

Edit: It is not a story if that was the case it would be a "Tale" but it isnt, it is just another anomalie in the database if my first SCP that I really want to publish and I dont want it to be too complicated. :)

Another Edit: I know it can sound kind of boring, but I prefer to write something simple than something hard, that dosent mean I dont want to write more complex SCPs in a matter of fact Im loking foward to write more complex SCPs but since this is my first SCP I wanted to keep it simple. :)

Edit n3: Common a giant sandworm, that sounds like somenthing the Chaos Insurgency would want, or negate me that a giant worm wouldnt we great for a war if controlled.

When SCP-031-PT-02 creates an animal and the animal expires, does expiring mean the animal dies or it disintegrates?

Expiring by GyrodexGyrodex, 14 May 2025 23:44

This is absolutely amazing. It's terrifying (in a good way) and I love all the subtle details, like the 'names' from the blurred text. It also has really good pacing and intensifies smoothly in a way that feels very natural. This is going to keep me up at night. +1
