Exploring the SCP Foundation: SCP-7819 - No Vacancy

[@Mr4is]

An scp that captures the spirit of the original 1-2k's. Not that the more recent ones are bad, I just miss the simple ones like these that don't involve world ending horrors. Nice choice!

[@davetucker-dale3242]

I like ones that feel like a episode of the original Twilight Zone or Alfred Hitchcock, sorta like this one.

[@lcmiracle]

The recent ones are ALL BAD

[@greenhowie]

Modern SCPs generally feel like Marvel movies - you need to have read several other SCPs based on "classic" SCPs to have enough of a knowledge base to kind of understand them without getting bored. Not a bad thing but it's definitely off putting to new or returning readers.

[@yourdad5799]

​@@lcmiracle what a terrible opinion

[@fossfox]

​@@greenhowieThis is a super succinct way to word something I've been struggling with for years, thank you

[@quicksilvertongue3248]

I like to think that this anomaly is completely non-malicious, that the man in the breakfast nook just wants to convince you to call his hotel a permanent home, and hasn't worked out why fake food, non-euclidean corridors and pools full of angry ghosts with a one-way entrapping surface are all disincentives to long-term residency.

[@Uptomyknees]

I like to believe that too. I like to. But maybe try going off the guidebook for a second and find out to what happens to people who don't follow the rules; it doesn't quite feel benign.

[@quicksilvertongue3248]

@@Uptomyknees I figure that's more a hazard of an alien dimension than something intentional on an entity's part. Monsters like scary elevator man or pool creature are the equivalent of roaches infesting a motel whose owner doesn't want them there, he just isn't trying as hard to get rid of him as we'd like. But the "rules" in general are the work of humans trying to observe and systematize, the way we always do and IMO probably shouldn't; the dimension has no rules, or at least not the ones we think it does, so the non-benign feeling of that guidebook is more to do with the Foundation's paranoia than the anomaly's malice. That's my theory anyway.

This cognitohazard is colloquially called Deja Vulgan --Level 4 Access Required--

[@aSloppySandwich]

There's a lot of "predatory locations" in the SCP universe. This one feels almost somewhat innocent. It seems like an all-powerful being trying its best to put you at ease and make you feel at home. Also the fact that it only affects foundation staff is perculiar. It's almost like it senses that you know more about how things work than most people, and wants to relate to you because of that, but the simple fact of it knowing that you know more than the average joe makes you uneasy to begin with. Also theres no explicit statement of it doing harm to people. And it's willing to let people go clearly. A strange SCP to be sure. I was thinking it was gonna be a "are we cool yet" SCP. I could imagine artist form "are we cool yet" checking into an obviously anomalous motel and just being completely chill about it.

[@cockatoofan]

Is it willing to let people to go? Every motel I've been in just let's me walk out the front door. This one implies that there is a strong compulsion to stay inside and the entity is not willing to take no for an answer without trying to guilt trip you about it first. Furthermore the extremely specific ritual-like steps needed kinda imply to me that the consequences of not following are bad, otherwise why not just only ask to leave and skip the other steps? Maybe it's not as outright violent as many other SCPs, but just it not killing you imo isn't proof that it isn't malicious. Perhaps it is not capable of violence if need be so it only wants those who lack the mental fortitude to say they want to leave? The fact that it is intelligent and knows of the foundation specifically also suggests to me that it'd know more about human culture than is required to see how hostile the place is.

[@awsomebot1]

no mention of harm? sure. but its implied by the things like the elevator creep. in fact for most things, what happens if you dont do something is left unsaid but the disclaimer before the addendum does sound like you're in mortal danger

[@markfergerson2145]

Yeah. Seems to me that it’s terribly lonely more than anything. My headcanon is that it’s some kind of empathetic shapeshifter that fell to this planet/dimension and “ate” an abandoned motel complete with “psychic imprints” of everyone who ever stayed there or worked there, and tries to recreate a smeared generalization of every motel the guests remembered. But it isn’t the same kind of social critter we are, and has different ideas about what social interactions should be, hence the weird humanoid manifestations. For that matter, it may be a small group of strongly linked individuals filling different roles they believe to be essential components of “motel” including the generic creep, the gaslighting victim, the ragged generous empath, and the “please come again” guy. Why does it only manifest for Foundation employees? A look through the psych screens used to select employees should explain that. There’s something common to the psych profiles of all employees which isn’t found in most civilians that makes them trigger the anomaly. Maybe it’s acceptance of the anomalous as not necessarily being dangerous or evil. On the other hand, that quality may be more common, and there may be many civilians who have stayed and escaped, and who haven’t escaped…

[@waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

[@logologo732]

When you mean predatory locations? Could you name a few

[@mariecarie1]

So, my new head canon is that this is the hotel that the song “Hotel California” was loosely based on. One of the Eagles’ members must’ve been a Foundation employee, writing the song about a log from a previous SCP employee who didn’t make it out 😂

[@justinsmith5870]

I enjoy the fact that songs a good ghost story but actually about escaping working in California with multiple subtle details slipped in, like Steely Knives was their agent.

[@quicksilvertongue3248]

[@Bryan-gy2zu]

These kinds of articles are my favorite types of SCPs: simple premise, haunting and off-kilter environments, not overly-verbose.

[@dannymaurice5543]

Crestfallen dad entity seems like the manager/aspect of the motel genuinely concerned with wanting to make the motel more inviting. Likely a ruse though cos it sounds like answering his questions is not worth it.

[@ReturnOfQwari]

Well it's never explicitly said to deny his questions like you do the other ones. Nor do they say what happens if you actually give recommendations on how to improve the place. Perhaps the reason is that noone who has left has gone through the measure; maybe they just got convinced to stay. What im saying is that if the entity truly took a person's recommendations to heart, the motel would improve to a point at which the person no longer wants to leave.

[@coloradohikertrash9958]

I'm glad Aamir got a proper hug. Sounds like he needed it.

[@WirableCrown1]

Kind Entity: How can I make it better? Fountain Agent: I want to leave..... KE: Please tell me. FA: I want to leave.... KE: *sad KE: *never able to understand humanity and make the motel a beautiful and wholesome place because the Foundation refuses to tell it.

[@Uptomyknees]

I assume the entity would immediately become hostile. Every warning is in there for a good reason.

[@WaffleRofl]

Or maybe if the foundation tells it how to make it better it will be harder for future visitors to escape. It's like a mouse telling a human which bait would work best for their traps

[@rmwf8836]

I think it's an anomaly that used to affects all sorts of people, but the Foundation has found a way to contain it with these rules. My theory is that the hotel used to be pretty appealing, but their method of containing it tricks it into thinking that hotels are actually like that making it so that no sane person would actually want to stay there.

[@romulusnuma116]

@@fatchicken6978 they contain it by tricking it. I just phrased it poorly

[@eaþ]

A quote of the article from one of the test researchers, Taya Andrews, elaborates this feeling further from the article read in Dr. Miller's lecture elaborates this feeling further: "My parents and I used to take a lot of road trips when I was a kid, so we stayed in a lot of motels. You know the kind: shitty roadside lodging where the rooms are cramped and the prices are dirt-cheap. Years-old carpet, unfashionable furniture from the 70s, sinks that stick out into the room and hard mattresses. Not a resort, just a place to lay your head down for the night. Transitory spaces, where you're meant to come and go; not to stick around. Motels are not home, obviously. They try their best to feel like they’re home. But not particularly well, which is why they have such a unique vibe of their own. A corporate-designed space calculated to put you at ease. They’re spaces for humans to inhabit, but there’s nothing really human about them. 7819 embodies that pretty well."

[@Chalky.]

There's a major flaw in the idea that it's trial and error, being that there's no way to gain information from the failures as the people can't report their findings back to the foundation, so the only way anyone returns those rules is pure luck of getting everything right first time.

[@applepieexplosion4030]

My theory is that the people in the elevator were those who decided to stay volintarily for one reason or another. I feel so bad for the teen because you can absolutely imagine why he'd want to stay. now he lives a life of giving out hugs and trinkets. I hope hes happy. He deserves to be.

Too many things aren't rules. Like "Who are you? Where are you from? Why are you targeting _us_ , specifically? While I really appreciate your attempt at hospitality, I certainly don't feel guilty for turning down the muddy soup and rotten food. And while I never wanted to be in this place to begin with, I had to memorize a list of rules in order to navigate this minefield of a 'paradise' you have set up, oddly enough, just for us. And while it's the thought that counts, I suppose, I really _must_ be leaving...Soo, checkout at 1130 ?" Definitely looking to see that log 😁

Out of any SCP video of yours I’ve seen, this one got me the most for some reason I can’t quite explain. The way the article says exact instructions without detailing too many reasons why and so many entirely unnatural things said in such a calm/calming voice really freaked me out. For instance, “if it’s a clean shaven man in the elevator, don’t get in” got me just from how ominous it was. And “barricade the door to the joined room” without exposing specifically why.

[@marshalzhukov4571]

Perfect understated integration of liminal (or in this case, transitory spaces) into an SCP. You're kept wondering, even after the end of reading, about the how, what, who, where, when, and why's. As stated, not clear answer about anything, but just enough to keep the reader hooked. The mystery, the intrigue is what makes, for example, the "liminal" phenomenon intriguing. Vague connections, memories, and feelings. Once you over-define something, it loses its intrigue, and goes from interesting to tawdry.

This one was the main reason i trashed my first SCP "SCP Hotel and SCP Fit". Down by my house is a hotel literally called The SCP Hotel and it has a sign that says "Soul. Community. Planet. SCP Hotel" then underneath a second sign that says "SCP FIT". I came up with some crazy stuff like a 682 maitre d and the Builder SCP floating around in a shirt as a handyman, the daughter of darkness as the aerobics instructor in SCP Fit, all kinds of wackiness. But i felt this did unsettling horror better and didn't wanna be labeled a copy cat so i scraped it. Had real pictures of the place and everything. There's one with an almost eerie floating logo in front of the Hotel. It's like the visuals, the sign, it's like it was made for an SCP project. Oh and incase anyone is wondering SCP in this case stems from the South Circle Plaza, the Hotels location. But the Soul. Community. Planet. Just provides to much lore fodder to toss!

[@DoctorPorkenfries]

Something I find suspicious is how the Foundation has rules for certain things, even though the only way it could know about those things is if someone left the motel afterwards, meaning they can't really know if breaking the rules results in capture or death. The one guy in the elevator, for example, that it tells you to avoid. It can't confirm that people never leave the motel after getting into the elevator with him, they only know that they don't have reports from people getting in the elevator with him. They don't know that something bad happens if you inspect the interiors of the fake cars, only that returning agents didn't. If they do lose an agent to the motel, they have no way of knowing what they did wrong, or even if the motel is what got them. The motel almost seems like something the Foundation itself is responsible for, like a secret test of their agents or something.

I love the idea that the document itself is also annomlies. Like this is an analogy for how people are expected to exist in this world with some weird steps added in to make it emphasizes how weird our world is. I can't quite explain it but like the knocking on the door for the key could be examples of how weird our world is about things like sex and getting attention. People care enough to hide their problems but not very well at all and they frequently get in the way of our day to day lives, only when people loudly and aggressively get our attention are we able to snap back to reality for even a moemnt. Or the elevator being an example of how some people see the worlds morality and who eats who world. Those who often look the most well kept are the worst, the most dangerous, those who are complete strangers have oddities about them and strange customs to be followed and perhaps aren't the best people so showing your on to them can keep them honest, but the roughest of them all and those who have been through the hardest challenges can often be some of the kindest people. I could keep going but yeah, it is simple yet very complex and I love it.

Only thing I don't like about it is the strong implication that the document is built from a process of iteration yet this would be impossible due to the nature of the game.

I liked this one. It's like a walkthrough of some insane person's video game. I am really curious about what happens if the rules aren't followed, but enjoy leaving it up to the reader's or listener's imagination.

I wish I'd seen this here first. Still gonna watch it though. Mangg is my #1 SCP / Warhammer / miscellaneous lore guy. if you didn't know he's got real world lore on all kinds of stuff like the Zodiac killer for instance. Lately, watching him play Pathfinder has helped me understand the mechanics and get back into it as well. ( that would be his let's play channel though, usually Linked In the description) definitely more casual, for when I'm in the mood.
