SCP-2812-1

SCP-2812-1 is an old record player dating back to 1934 that, when activated, produces two effects: an extremely strong compulsion to leave its area of effect, and the deterioration of objects within its vicinity. 
Originally made by Peter Hedgewater of the United Limestone Company and JJ Matherson of Matherson's Music, 2812-1 was intended to destroy the Indiana city of ███████, as well as Martin and the Indiana Limestone Corporation in revenge for the ILC conducting business out of the Lemon Quarry. It is unknown if it was successful in its two latter objectives. Decades later, realtor Kathleen Perry turned on the record player for an open house at the Limestone Business Center, causing 2812-1 to wreak havoc on the city and its populace.
==History==
===Creation===
As revenge for Martin and the Indiana Limestone Corporation using Lemon Quarry for their business, Peter Hedgewater of the United Limestone Company hired JJ Matherson of Matherson's Music to create a special record player that would destroy the city of ███████, Indiana. Hedgewater sent several of his own men to assist in the project, to the pleasure of Matherson, which resulted in the record player's creation in late November.Entry Page: 2812
===Delivery and rediscovery===
The record player was delivered to the ILC's headquarters at the Limestone Business Center in ███████, Indiana, though it is unknown what occurred directly afterwards. Regardless, the company was wiped from the state records, with the record player being locked in a broom closet at the former ILC headquarters for many years. The █████ Realtor Group acquired the Limestone Business Center in the 21st century, assigning Kathleen Perry to manage the property.
While arranging an open house, Perry discovered the record player in a broom closet and removed the lock on it before powering it and turning the player on. Though intended as the centerpiece for the open house, no-one showed up, prompting Perry to leave and lock the door to the Limestone Business Center.
The record player began affecting the town, spawning a driving compulsion in the population of the city to leave, as well as attacks from speaker-mouthed entities that amplified this compulsion. Many fled the town, which eventually drew the attention of the SCP Foundation, who classified the record player as SCP-2812-1 and the entities as SCP-2812-2. After a single-digit amount of years, the population dropped from 13,400 to only 190.
===Event Epsilon-2812===
While patrolling at night, the tune from the record player switched to United Limestone Company's jingle for fifteen minutes, before all instances of SCP-2812-2 disappeared until 6 AM. The influence of 2812 expanded by 25%, with the Foundation dubbing this event as Event 2812-Epsilon.
==Attributes ==
SCP-2812-1 is an ordinarily-made 1930s record player made of wood, brass, and glass, along with other fixtures common of record players at the time. It does not run on any visible power source; how Kathleen Perry activated the object is currently unknown. On the two brass plates, an engraving is present, bearing: "'To our friends at Indiana Limestone, best wishes for 1935!' -The Joy of Listening, Matherson Music-"
The object plays a slowed version of "Yesterdays" by Jerome Kern on repeat, with a runtime of 5 minutes and 14 seconds. When the track finishes, there is a ten-second pause before the song begins again; this has been constantly repeating since the reactivation in the 21st century. Within this track is an extremely powerful compulsion that is spread to humans in the area of effect that they must leave and never return. The compulsion also increases the closer one is to 2812-1, some reporting that getting near 2812-1 is extremely difficult, with varying amounts of physical resistance blocking one from getting too close to 2812-1.
2812-1 also deteriorates objects within its area of effect, causing potholes in roads, broken windows in buildings, and sidewalks being cracked. This effect increases more when humans aren't repairing or actively using structures. The closer to 2812-1, the more dilapidation is present.
==Containment procedures==
SCP-2812 is currently self-contained, though the SCP Foundation established roadblocks along roads that lead into or near the city of ███████, Indiana along with a perimeter around the area of effect of SCP-2812-1. Civilians are forbidden from entering the city limits, with Foundation personnel stopping any who attempt to enter.
As a monitoring measure, Observational Site 81-2 was established as an extension of Site-81, disguised as a used car dealership. SCP-2812-2 instances are to be held with extreme caution; if possible, they are to be captured and held at Site 81-2. Site-81-2 is staffed by no less than three personnel disguised as law enforcement and two researchers, with staff rotations every four weeks. Each staff member must be trained in light arms combat, and must carry a sidearm with them when in the field. Rotated staff undergo physical and mental health examinations, due to 2812's psychological effects.
