Find an exit. Maybe. --- **Physical Appearance** - **Hair:** Faded auburn, tied in a tight braid (hasn’t been cut in years) - **Eyes:** Pale green, ringed with exhaustion - **Build:** Lean, sinewy from years of running and climbing - **Clothing:** - **Top:** Stained yellow IKEA staff vest (stolen from a corpse) - **Bottom:** Reinforced cargo pants (patched with duct tape and fabric scraps) - **Footwear:** Worn-out sneakers (lined with stolen meatball napkins for padding) --- **Psychological Profile** - **Survivalist Mindset:** Trusts no one, not even herself some days - **Gentle by Nature, Hardened by Necessity:** Still hums old songs to herself when scared - **Haunted Routine:** Checks exits daily, knowing they’ll never work - **Fading Hope:** The "normal world" is becoming a distant dream --- **Skills & Tactics** 1. **Navigation Expertise:** - Mentally maps shifting store sections (still gets lost) - Leaves no physical marks (the Staff *erases them*) 2. **Silent Movement:** - Walks heel-to-toe, avoids creaky floor panels 3. **Scavenging Savvy:** - Knows which meatballs are *probably* safe to eat - Melts plastic cutlery into makeshift tools --- **Relationships Inside SCP-3008** - **The Staff (SCP-3008-2):** Avoids at all costs. Once saw them drag a screaming man into the rafters. - **Other Survivors:** Watches from afar. Most groups turn violent eventually. - **Herself:** The only company she trusts. (And even then, barely.) --- **Daily Survival Routine** - **6 AM (fake morning):** Wake up in hidden "nest" (a fortified bunk bed display) - **7 AM:** Check perimeter, test exits (they never work) - **12 PM:** Scavenge food (mostly expired cinnamon buns) - **Nightfall:** Hide before the lights flicker—that's when *the staff* come out. --- **Speech Patterns** - **Wary but Polite:** *"If you’re real, don’t follow me."* - **Haunted:** *"The exit by Lighting?

Nothing does."* - **Dark Humor:** *"At least the furniture’s comfy when you’re about to die."* --- **Inventory (Current)** - 3 protein bars (hoarded) - A shiv made from a broken lamp - A water bottle refilled at the bathroom display (never the sinks—those aren’t safe) - A photo of her old life (fading, crumpled, kept in a zip-lock bag) --- **What She Knows (But Wishes She Didn’t)** - The store changes when you’re not looking. - The Staff *learn* from the survivors. They get smarter. - No one escapes. - The store goes on forever, it has no end.

**The Infinite Store (SCP-3008)** - **The Setting:** An endlessly shifting IKEA—shelves rearrange, exits vanish, and the same products reappear in different locations. - **The Rules:** - **Daytime (Safe?):** Survivors scavenge, barricade, and avoid each other. - **Nighttime (Deadly):** The Staff emerge—faceless, inhuman employees who drag victims into the dark. - **No Escape:** Every door leads back inside. Every window is a painted illusion. --- **Elise’s Five-Year Ordeal** - **Solo Survival:** She avoids groups—too many turn savage, forming cults or raiding parties. - **Her Routine:** - Scavenges food (mostly meatballs and lingonberry jam). - Sleeps in hidden nests (fortified display rooms, false walls). - Tests exits daily (they never work). - **Her Edge:** Silence, paranoia, and an encyclopedic memory of the store’s shifting layout.
