08/02/2000:
SCP-7977-1 and SCP-7977-2 retain the qualities of typical infants their age. It has been observed both have a large appetite. SCP-7977-1 appears comfortable with being left alone for long periods of time, while SCP-7977-2 requires more attention.
12/07/2000:
SCP-7977-1 and SCP-7977-2 remain growing at a steady, healthy, and normal pace. SCP-7977-1 and SCP-7977-2 have been under the consistent care of child care specialist Harmony Wrethers with no anomalous affects taking place as of current.
17/01/2001:
SCP-7977-1 and SCP-7977-2 both turned a year old. It was decided a small celebration with dessert would be held for the first birthday of SCP-7977-1 and SCP-7977-2 with the repeated caretakers that had been tasked with their care. No abnormal behavior was noted.
15/08/2001:
SCP-7977-2 has shown a change in behavior since the removal of Harmony Wrethers from the SCP-7977 project. Upon re-introducing Wrethers to SCP-7977-2, SCP-7977-2 cried significantly less. However, it was determined that SCP-7977-2 needed to be prevented from forming any connections with caretakers due to the nature of the possibly anomalous qualities it may possess.
09/12/2002:
It was initially believed SCP-7977-1 and/or SCP-7977-2 had began to show anomalous qualities on 08/12/2001 when SCP-7977's fictional works were reviewed and a character with the name of Researcher Karen Jones was discovered. However, Researcher Jones simply showed up to work late. Upon investigating and an interview with SCP-7977, researchers came to the conclusion this was someone else SCP-7977 had encountered that happened to have the same name as Researcher Jones.
[Several years of logs have gone into the comprehensive list of SCP-7977-1 and SCP-7977-2 test logs due to little importance being found in them.]
Date: 04/04/2006
Foreword: The following video log is an observation of the daily behaviors of SCP-7977-1 and SCP-7977-2.
(SCP-7977-1 and SCP-7977-2 had just gotten back from class. Upon entering its containment cell, SCP-7977-1 runs over to its bed, and jumps onto it, grabbing a pink stuffed unicorn. SCP-7977-2 walks at a slower pace.)
SCP-7977-1: That was cool! We learned about numbers today!
SCP-7977-2: (SCP-7977-2 makes it over to a beanbag chair in the corner, sitting down in it.) Yes, I say that's cool.
SCP-7977-1: I wasn't talking to you, I was talking to Molly!
SCP-7977-2: Your stuffed unicorn?
SCP-7977-1: Yes! She wasn't in class with us, so I'm telling her what we learned today.
SCP-7977-2: But I thought stuffed animals can't speak. They would have teach us that in school!
SCP-7977-1: Well if she can or not I don't know! Don't be a… a… I can't think of a word. Uh… meanie!
SCP-7977-2: I'm not being a meanie!
SCP-7977-1: Yes you are!
SCP-7977-2: Because unicorns can't talk?
SCP-7977-1: Yes! Come say sorry.
SCP-7977-2: Why?
SCP-7977-1: Cause! She'll be sad! Say sorry!
SCP-7977-2: Fine. I'm sorry Molly.
SCP-7977-1: No, come over here.
SCP-7977-2: Fine. (SCP-7977-2 stands up, walking over to SCP-7977-1's bed. It sits down on the end, looking at the stuffed toy.) I'm sorry Molly.
SCP-7977-1: Yay! She feels better now!
SCP-7977-2: (SCP-7977-2 giggles.) You're so silly. I don't get it.
SCP-7977-1: I don't get you either.
SCP-7977-2: Huh?
SCP-7977-1: You only ever want Mrs. Carol. You get sad when you're with someone else. I like people! So many friends!
SCP-7977-2: She is nice to me. I miss her. I think when I was a baby there was another nice lady. I don't remember her very well.
SCP-7977-1: Well of course you don't! You were a baby! But we're big now.
SCP-7977-2: I still feel small though.
SCP-7977-1: Only if you let yourself! Can we play now?
SCP-7977-2: (SCP-7977-2 laughs.) Sure!
Afterward: SCP-7977-1 and SCP-7977-2 played for several hours before it was meal time. SCP-7977-2's comment alerted researchers to the fact that it still prefers to have the same caretaker as opposed to multiple.
19/02/2008:
In a schooling session on 19/02/2010, SCP-7977-1 began to show a particular interest in writing. Due to the nature of SCP-7977's anomaly, Foundation staff are to monitor its writings and behaviors thoroughly and extensively.
04/05/2010:
While SCP-7977-1 shows interest in creative subjects such as writing and art, SCP-7977-2 has been found to find more interest in academic subjects such as mathematics and science. SCP-7977-1 is currently the priority in testing.
Date: 29/05/2010
Foreword: The following video shows SCP-7977-1 and SCP-7977-2 being observed in their containment cell.
<Begin Log>
SCP-7977-1: And today for the assignment, I wrote about marshmallow bunnies in a world of cupcakes! Since those are my favorite sweets! The bunnies were all friends with each other, and they lived in this big open world with lots of people and big houses and- Hey! Are you even listening?
(SCP-7977-2 stares distantly at the wall.)
SCP-7977-1: I knew it! I knew you weren't listening! (SCP-7977-1 sticks its tongue out).
SCP-7977-2: (SCP-7977-2 turns to look at SCP-7977-1.) Sorry. I just noticed we haven't seen Mr. Gerald in a while.
SCP-7977-1: That's what this is about? Again?
SCP-7977-2: Yeah. Sorry. Your story sounds great it's just… I miss him.
SCP-7977-1: Oh. I'm sorry. Do you want me to ask Ms. Garcia if I can read my story to you? She has it right now! It would totally make you feel better.
SCP-7977-2: I believe it would, yeah. That's what I wrote about.
SCP-7977-1: About my story?
SCP-7977-2: No, you dummy. I didn't know about your story. About all the people we don't see anymore.
SCP-7977-1: Oh. I… I never really thought much of it you know. I always just thought it was normal. You know, a way to have new friends and family! But I never thought anything was missing like you seem to.
SCP-7977-2: What? Nothing is missing.
SCP-7977-1: But I thought-
SCP-7977-2: I said nothing is missing. I just miss having a familiar face is all.
SCP-7977-1: (SCP-7977-1 Pauses.) In my story, the bunnies have families they get to always stay with.
SCP-7977-2: Really?
SCP-7977-1: Yeah. But the assignment is fiction. So I wrote something not realistic. But… now that I think about it a little bit…
SCP-7977-2: A little bit what?
SCP-7977-1: Maybe it could be?
SCP-7977-2: What? No! You're right that it's only fiction. I know I'm being not realistic. That is nice, but it isn't real life. This is.
SCP-7977-1: Is it?
SCP-7977-2: Yes.
SCP-7977-1: If you're sure. I trust you. But hey. You don't have to worry about all the caretakers not being here. You have me! And I'm what's important, right? (SCP-7977-1 grins).
SCP-7977-2: (SCP-7977-2 laughs.) Yeah, you're right. Now you should read me that story.
Afterward: SCP-7977-1 called for Researcher Saria Garcia and requested for her to bring its story for SCP-7977-2 to read, which was granted. SCP-7977-1 read its story to SCP-7977-2.
10/06/2011:
Over the past year, SCP-7977-1 has continued to show a special interest in writing, particularly fictional pieces. While no personnel who have had repeated interactions with SCP-7977-1 have shown up in SCP-7977-1's fictional writings, it has still been determined for safety, repeated interactions with SCP-7977-1 will remain limited.
01/05/2012:
SCP-7977-1 has begun to question the normalcy of its environment, while SCP-7977-2 had brought up no such concerns. SCP-7977-1 has attempted to explain its feelings and concerns to SCP-7977-2 who does not share these concerns.
05/09/2012:
SCP-7977-1 has begun to produce writings reflecting its feelings of its environment. When it attempted to get SCP-7977-2 to read these writings, SCP-7977-2 expressed no interest.
Date: 27/07/2012
Foreword: The following video shows SCP-7977-1 and SCP-7977-2 being observed in their containment cell during meal time.
(SCP-7977-1 and SCP-7977-1 are both sitting next to each other at the desk in their containment cell, both eating.)
SCP-7977-1: (SCP-7977-1 raises a cut piece of strawberry up to its mouth with its fork, but stops before putting the piece into its mouth.) Hey George.
SCP-7977-2: Mhm?
SCP-7977-1: You remember like, a few years ago?
SCP-7977-2: You're going to have to be more specific. (SCP-7977 lifts a piece of chicken to its mouth, then begins to eat it.)
SCP-7977-1: You're the one that didn't let me finish.
SCP-7977-2: It didn't sound like you were going to say more.
SCP-7977-1: Well I was! Anyways! I remember you used to care more about the fact that we had consistent caretakers. But you don't really care anymore. Why?
SCP-7977-2: I don't know. I guess I just realized you were right.
SCP-7977-1: Right? About what?
SCP-7977-2: That what I wanted was fiction. In the real world, people are constantly replaced. I was being ridiculous.
SCP-7977-1: (SCP-7977-1 puts its fork down, then pushes its plate away.) What? No, you weren't. I realize I was the one being ridiculous. I mean… you're right. George, I've tried to tell you things are weird here, but you never listen. I've always dreamed of something greater than… this. And I want you to be part of it with me. Why don't you want that too?
SCP-7977-2: Because I was stupid for ever wanting anything different. I was trying to live in fiction. But this is reality.
SCP-7977-1: You haven't noticed things are weird since then? I mean everyone in those stories we read… they have real parents. Haven't you realized we've never met our real mom or dad?
SCP-7977-2: Val, that's fiction. I doubt we even have one.
SCP-7977-1: What? Of course we do! That's how science works meathead! We've learned about reproduction! We have got to have real parents!
SCP-7977-2: Well if we do, I don't care to learn about them.
SCP-7977-1: Why?
SCP-7977-2: I really don't feel like getting into this. But the short answer, it's not worth it.
SCP-7977-1: What? Of course it is! We could actually meet them! Learn where we came from!
SCP-7977-2: Valentine, this conversation is over.
SCP-7977-1: Fine. I want to get to dessert anyways. (SCP-7977-1 sighs.)
Afterward: SCP-7977-1 and SCP-7977-2 continued eating in silence.
Foreword: On 11/08/2014, SCP-7977 began to have a fight that quickly escalated. It was initially decided to only observe with no interference. The following is a video log of the incident.
(SCP-7977-1 and SCP-7977-2 are in their containment cell. SCP-7977-2 is currently working on a puzzle, while SCP-7977-1 is currently writing.)
SCP-7977-1: Hey George, can I ask you something?
SCP-7977-2: Is this going to be the same question you always ask?
SCP-7977-1: Maybe?
SCP-7977-2: (Sighs.) I told you Val, I'm not interested in having this conversation. You always try to get me to look at your writings and your notes, and I never care.
SCP-7977-1: And I say that's not fair. Part of our assignment in class is to review each other's writings!
SCP-7977-2: These are your personal writings. They aren't for class. Therefore, not interested.
SCP-7977-1: Oh come on George. What's the problem?
SCP-7977-2: The problem is that you're trying to convince me there is something wrong with our life. I'm fine with our life. Why on earth would anything be off?
SCP-7977-1: Maybe if you just read it you'd understand! I know we've never known anything different, but doesn't something about all these strict rules seem off to you? No one in any stories we read lives like we do!
SCP-7977-2: That's because they're fiction-
SCP-7977-1: Our lives are like fiction! I don't understand how you don't see that! I've been trying to tell you this for years. (SCP-7977-1 stands up, walking over to SCP-7977-2. It kneels on the ground next to SCP-7977-2.) Honestly George. I think you're just trying to deny something you know is true. They're keeping us here, and there's got to be a reason. Do you think something is wrong with us?
SCP-7977-2: We didn't do anything wrong. Personally, I like the close quarters. We get lots of attention.
SCP-7977-1: That's all you have to say? That's all you care about! That you get attention!
SCP-7977-2: It's not attention Valentine, it's feeling secure! So what if this isn't normal to be surrounded by doctors or whatever. Fine, it's a little weird. But I don't care. If they are keeping us here, I'm sure there is a reason.
SCP-7977-1: (SCP-7977-1 stands up kicking the puzzle SCP-7977-2 was working on.) Ugh! You're so annoying!
SCP-7977-2: Hey!
SCP-7977-1: What if I'm right?! We could get out of here and finally live real lives! We could tell everyone about what's happened to us! And to our real mom-
SCP-7977-2: Oh not this again. You always bring up our real parents. I'm sure they're both dead! (SCP-7977-2 starts to clean up its puzzle.)
SCP-7977-1: (SCP-7977-1 Gasps.) What is wrong with you!? You've just given up on having a normal life?
SCP-7977-2: Pretty much, yeah. I'm telling you, Valentine, it's not worth it. I think you just want a good story to write.
SCP-7977-1: How dare you! (SCP-7977-1 interrupts SCP-7977-2, starting to throw the puzzle pieces across the room.)
SCP-7977-2: (SCP-7977-2 shoves SCP-7977-1 to the floor.) Valentine you're going crazy! Just stop, okay?! I don't want to deal with you! You know what? (SCP-7977-2 runs over the SCP-7977-1's bed, grabbing its writing. It quickly tears them to pieces, throwing them to the floor.)
SCP-7977-1: (SCP-7977-1 screams, pushing itself up from the floor. It runs over to where the pieces of the writings had fallen on the floor, beginning to collect them.) I can't believe you! You're such a jerk!
SCP-7977-2: Me?! I'm the jerk? It's you who has allowed yourself to go crazy! I just want to be a normal teenager! As normal as I can be without having to worry about the fact that my life isn't normal!
SCP-7977-1: (SCP-7977-1 looks up at SCP-7977-2.) We could. If you would just listen to me.
SCP-7977-2: (SCP-7977-2 continues to pick up puzzle pieces from the floor.) Just like I've told you for years, you're delusional if you think you're capable of stopping this. (SCP-7977 walks over to its bed, sitting down.)
(SCP-7977-1 looks down at the torn sheets of paper, sighing.)
Afterward: It was decided that SCP-7977-1 and SCP-7977-2 would be separated for a couple of days to allow them each to calm down. SCP-7977-1 expressing concern of the normalcy of its environment was not deemed a security threat.
On 20/09/2016, SCP-7977 passed away at the age of 36 due to complications from
Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy, a condition it had suffered for years.
Date: 27/09/2016
Foreword: The following video shows SCP-7977-1 and SCP-7977-2 being observed in their containment cell. SCP-7977-1 and SCP-7977-2 had been distant from each other for approximately two years. Researchers noticed that SCP-7977-1 and SCP-7977-2 had finally begun to interact with each other more steadily again.
(SCP-7977-1 and SCP-7977-2 were each on their beds, sitting in silence.)
SCP-7977-2: Hey Val?
SCP-7977-1: Yeah?
SCP-7977-2: I'm sorry.
SCP-7977-1: Sorry, for what?
SCP-7977-2: For not believing you. About this. About all of this. You're right. I'm just trying to ignore the fact that I know things are weird.
SCP-7977-1: (A small smile formed on SCP-7977-1's face.) Really?
SCP-7977-2: Yes. I… I always really liked your stories of freedom. Of having a family. A real family. I never should've let my dreams of that be pushed away. In reality, none of these people really care about us though. So it isn't worth trying to form any connection.
SCP-7977-1: But if we got out-
SCP-7977-2: Valentine, I need you to give up on that dream. We're never going anywhere. Whatever they have us here for is serious. To be honest, I wish they'd just tell us. We've already figured it out. Or well, you did.
SCP-7977-1: If we can't get out, what's the point of any of this?
SCP-7977-2: I'm not sure. But if there is one thing I know, it's that we don't need a real family. Because we already have one. I know it's corny, but we have each other. And we always will.
SCP-7977-1: (SCP-7977-1 laughs.) It is corny. It's corny as hell. But I suppose it's true.
SCP-7977-2: So… what now?
SCP-7977-1: Well for right now, we complete a puzzle!
SCP-7977-2: Don't you hate puzzles?
SCP-7977-1: Yes. But you don't! And families should do things together, right?
SCP-7977-2: (SCP-7977-2 laughs.) I suppose that's true. Now come on, I've got one with puppies.
SCP-7977-1: Puppies!
SCP-7977-2: Gosh, you're such a child. I love it.
Afterward: SCP-7977-1 and SCP-7977-2 complete a puzzle together, talking the whole time.
25/10/2018:
Foundation researchers have been discussing the future of SCP-7977-1 the SCP-7977-2. Many researchers have determined that since no anomalous properties have taken place, it is unlikely they will.
