FBC Archivist | The Smoking Pram

[@jonaz7312]

Spontaneous alteration sounds even scarier than spontaneous combustion. The pram is somehow doing both.

[@GamingUniversityUoG]

Nothing would be worse than catching some ZZZs and your pillow underwent Spontaneous Alteration. Causing you to never wake up. So many of these items started acting up out of nowhere. It I'd unlikely they were already altered and just didn't do anything until this specific day

[@weirdalexander8193]

I like how when he mentions the possibility of a conspiracy, he wraps up the story at lightning speed. Man doesn’t get paid enough for this ;-)

[@GamingUniversityUoG]

Haha that would be me, "shit I should drop this." Check out the journal entry for his thoughts about it after the fact. Link is in the pinned comment.

[@Jawmax]

Alternate theory. The Smoking Pram could part of a set of two altered items, the pram itself and some item that normally would be associated with babies, a rattle for example. It is possible the shop filled with smoke when the item inside the pram was removed if it sold separately. Recommend searching incident reports for items or incidents fitting this category. If my theory is correct, then this unknown second item may still be at large.

[@GamingUniversityUoG]

The only times we see a two part item, VHS tape, the jukebox, slide projector, etc, usually only one item is altered and the other is a carrier. That being said I can totally believe a baby rattle would House paranatural forces. Those things have been around for millennia and definitely iconic in the collective consciousness.

One of the most creative and unique ideas I've seen for content creation. I really appreciate the new format. Wish you the best :D

[@GamingUniversityUoG]

Thank you so much! It took us a while to do altered item discussions because I wanted a fun way to present them. Glad you enjoy what we decided on!

[@NicolasDominique]

Another splendid episode. And quite intriguing. It really makes you to ponder a question, what really happened in that shop.

[@GamingUniversityUoG]

It must have been enough to destroy the incident report. Other than that who knows. Fun little bit of world building though.

[@WerdnaTheRad]

Dude, your editing skills are awesome! Great video!

[@GamingUniversityUoG]

Thank you dude! YellowBat does incredible work with the editing.

[@thelustfulbehelit2827]

I got chills listening to this, the implication that someone WAS within that store is now deep within the FBC, inside the oldest house with intentions to hide its true origins & secrets surrounding the smoking pram is so creepy. Because like you said the accident only affected one report but caused the deaths of many containment staff...

[@teamcyeborg]

D'aww, it's a little baby fire! ♥︎

[@GamingUniversityUoG]

We must protect this baby fire at all costs

[@alucardv5312]

So what I'm taking away from this is that there is an urban legend in France about spontaneously combusting babies. Given the Memetic nature of Altered Items and all.

[@GamingUniversityUoG]

Wait is that a thing? That didn't come up when I researched this. It would make sense though.

[@alucardv5312]

​@@GamingUniversityUoG Not sure myself to be honest. More speculation then anything.

[@jonaz7312]

@@alucardv5312 That is part of a larger question. How much control do these groups have about the outcome of the altering process? Can they influence the properties of the items? Perhaps it's more like: "we know how to alter items, but the outcome is anybody's guess."

[@GamingUniversityUoG]

That's kind of how I look at it. Thet can control some things but what it ends up doing is kind of a crap shoot.

[@psudodrake]

Man I'd love for this thing to be a gateway to some place like Centralia, Pennsylvania... which is a very real place with coal mines where the mines are on fire, thus requiring the town to be evacuated. It's the inspiration for the game Silent Hill.

[@GamingUniversityUoG]

Oh god if this is a gate to the silent hill universe I'm done lmao. I still stand by my ton foil theory that Silent Hill is a stable Place of Power.

[@psudodrake]

@@GamingUniversityUoG Luckily for us, Silent Hill isn't a part of the Remedy Universe.

[@buzzbuzz20xx]

Awesome video as always

[@GamingUniversityUoG]

Thanks a bunch! Glad you enjoy these

[@ninja011]

This item feels like it took at least visual inspiration from Baby Herman from Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

[@GamingUniversityUoG]

Haha that would be great if that was the case.

[@miracon000fez]

What about the vending machine in the investigation sector

[@GamingUniversityUoG]

We are going in numerical order so the vending machine will be a bit down the line.

[@DrMutran]

I'm at a lost as to what the Smoking Pram is supposed to symbolize. Perhaps that's a sign of being an artificial Altered Item.

[@GamingUniversityUoG]

This is definitely a tough one. I'd argue not all of them need to be physically match their effect like the Fan does.

Hush little baby don't say a Word, Momma's gonna burning down the whole damn World.

The patrons are voting on the videos currently. Psychonauts was up for a vote last week. We'll see where it falls.

[@dylanthomas385]

Cool I’d join but I’m already on patrons and have a rent increase coming up

[@GamingUniversityUoG]

No worries dude. Take care of your own finances before anything else. Regardless what happens with the poll I'll be doing the losing video immediately after.

Crazy Theory: Pram was created by Bless as experiment in creating altered items
