  • You ever watch Gabby’s Dollhouse?

    She stays in her room, full-time. She never interacts with anyone outside of her room. She receives deliveries from an unseen outside force, via a cart and ramp system that makes interaction between inside and outside impossible. She then uses her anomalous abilities to shrink down inside of her dollhouse and have adventures in a pocket universe.

    She’s happily protected, in a contained, secure area which she never leaves.

    Gabby is a comparatively benign SCP.











  • There are always copies of The Prophet, by Kahlil Gibran. There are always copies of The Two Towers or Return of the King, but frequently no copies of The Fellowship of the Ring. There are always copies of the Chronicles of Narnia books, but never an entire set from the same printing. The staff will always have an author that they will defend their excellent writing while acknowledging that they were horrible human beings, e. g. H. P. Lovecraft, Ernest Hemingway, and recently we get to add Neil Gaiman. If you’re very lucky, someone came in and sold a first autographed edition that’s worth $100+ but the buyer screwed the pooch and priced it at $10.

    Edit: Hang out long enough, and you’ll get to hear a customer come in and ask “Can you recommend a book for me?” without providing any more helpful details, and you can hear the staffer’s soul break just a tiny bit more.
