Damarius 

They are the unfortunate men with an absolute fear of interaction with the opposite gender.

(start incel montage - look at @cringecentral on ig)

Damarius

whether it's because they are terminally online, or they simply lack the confidence to even approach them. 

(full shot of Damarius at school speaking to camera)

Damarius

 The root of the problem is a disease called Bufo Ferulabitus. (start clip of us wearing hazmat suit) Highly infectious and dangerous.

Damarius

 We visit the nest of a known Bufo Ferulabitus patient

Damarius

 Alright, now we are at the front of the nest of a Coitus Evito patient named Steven. We are going to enter and find out more about his disease.

-Damarius walks to the security guard-

Security

 Clearance please

(Side midshot of Damrius showing clearance for crew and himself)

-cut to security explaining what to do-

Security

 Remember that Coitus Evito by direct contact is an incredibly infectious disease.

-undershot of security from between the crew members-

Security

 If he takes any of you hostage, the SCP foundation will not negotiate the release of any of you, is that clear.

 I see the incel in his natural habitat, right where I expect him to be. We must creep up behind him slowly to avoid combat

-creepy music starts-

*cut to camera hiding behind countertop*

*POV shot of Damarius poking the incel with a stick*

Incel(agressive)

 HISSSSSSSS (preferably like a snake) 

*smash zoom into incel*

Damarius(slightly worried)

 Its ok we have no women with us! Its ok! Its ok!

Incel

 *Hyperventilating from aggression*

Damarius

 we're here to ask you a few questions are you alright with that?

*Incel nods head*

Damarius

 So when did you contract this disease?

Incel

 *Unintelligible murmuring*

Damarius

 Could you repeat your answer?

Incel

 *Faster unintelligible murmuring*

Damarius

 *Facepalms his face in disbelief* (stressed) the interview can’t go like this 

Damarius (in narration)

 I was in despair, I didn’t know what to do. And as if things could not get worse.

*accidently drops the microphone*

Damarius

 Oh god what do we do now? *looks at crew* *Camera quick pans to crew* Can you guys pick that up? 

*Crew shakes head while saying no*

*Off camera steven picks up microphone, approaches Damarius, camera pans back to Damarius, Damarius jumps back*

Damarius (In total fear)

 AHHHH! IT'S GOT A WEAPON! QUICK PLAN B! (POV shot of crew or Damarius, Steven slowly approaching Damarius*

*Crew pulls out pictures of kpop idols and starts chanting gibberish, steven freaks out, camera continuously switches POV and main camera, Steven drops the microphone and hurdles in a corner, Damarius pulls the microphone back using stick while steven screams*

Damarius

 QUICK RUN FOR THE DOOR!

(this part is tentative, steven hunting)

*Montage of trying to escape*

*one cameraman gets captured*

*everyone else escapes*

-START INTRO SEQUENCE-

Scene Three: The Mother’s Interview

3 weeks later + Establishing shot of Damarius walking in the school

Damarius (emotional)

: Steven’s case is a very interesting one. If we can’t find answers from inside that house then we can find it from someplace elsewhere.

Damarius (emotional+tracking midshot)

 Right now we are at the school where Steven grew up to meet a very special woman.

*Shot of Ms Nana sitting down, blurred background*

Mother

 Steven was a very healthy boy, very interactive with everyone, incredibly extroverted. He was normal (stuttery), everyday he would play video games with the other boys, have laughs with them at the canteen, he was my second favourite child. (sobs)

Damarius (off camera)

 When did it all change?

Mother

 It was after the birthday party at Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria. He came home with an extreme fever and the next morning he just wasn’t my Steven anymore. At first I was celebrating, I didn’t have to feed his butt any more.

Damarius(confused)

 I’m sorry, Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria?

Mother

 yes

*insert vine boom here*

*Shots of freddy fazbear’s pizzeria*

Damarius

 why was he there in the first place?

Mother

 It was Johnny’s birthday party, he went there. He was looking forward to the party for a long time.

Damarius

 The other boys? Were they fine?  

Mother

They were.

-Montage of social media content slowly turning into incel-

Damarius (narration over montage) 

Indeed it was after the visit to Freddy Fazbear’s where Steven started showing the symptoms of the incel. As it was a holiday right after that, the infection was minimised as he started inadvertently isolating himself at home playing genshin impact. Over time his masculine behaviour started to deteriorate. (start clips of him starting to make cringe tik toks) His abnormal behaviour was closely watched by the SCP foundation who quickly closed down Freddy Fazbear’s

(Breaking fourth wall, in the office)

Damarius

 With that in mind, we had to find out more, we are going to Freddy Fazbear’s

Scene Four: Updates

- 2 weeks before- Freddy Fazbear’s visit

*POV phone camera recording cameraman 1 inside acting like an incel*

*Phone switches camera*

Damarius

 I think he's got the virus (disappointed + despair)

-Because that one idiot got infected, we all had to quarantine-

*Phone shot of Damarius being shoved in Jimny*

Possible Hooks

-1st hook-

Damarius (during freeze frame)

 Today our goal is to change this into …

*black cut, camera following us sneak into parking lot 

*Hiding behind wall / bush

*Handheld zoom in on incel holding a conversation w a woman, looking more proper

*Camera zooms back out to medium over-the-shoulder of Damarius looking proud

*mic guy drops the mic, we panic

*camera zooms in on incel noticing the sound, looking in our direction

*run back the way we came from
