Murphy Lawden - SCP About's.

"Murphy Law in... Type 3043 - FOR MURDER!" - SCP-3043 Was Murphy's first Entry — He appears for the first time in SCP-3043, where he's able to defeat the article's anomaly, a reality Warper typewriter — Meanwhile SCP-3143 Was Murphy's second entry is capable of temporarily merging or flattening parts of the current reality into his, essentially bringing his own narrative to life. He is capable of flattening and warping reality. He will exist as long as writers keep writing about him. SCP-3143 is best described as an intrafictional construct and a sapient story, rather than a purely physical or spirit-like being. It functions by manipulating and "flattening" portions of reality into narrative form, which takes on the characteristics of a hard-boiled detective story. While it can operate within these narratives and has abilities that manifest as physical actions (like using a revolver), its fundamental nature is conceptual and narrative-based, not physical in the traditional sense.

A (hypothetically) character from a noir novel with reality warping powers that allow him to move in the narrative of the Foundation and transform it in a noir movie screenplay: essentially, think what would happen if a character from a book would be able to appear in our reality and shape it like the world where it came from.

SCP - 3143

Item #: SCP-3143

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: Attempts to contain SCP-3143 are ongoing. A Foundation-operated bot (I/O-ISMETA) is to monitor online fiction communities for signs of its emergence. When found, an authorized member of the Pataphysics Department is to be assigned to deconstruct it.

MTF Iota-10 ("Damn Freds") is to investigate any leads regarding possible locations of SCP-3143-A. If found, he is to be apprehended and taken into Foundation custody.

Description: SCP-3143 is an intrafictional construct. When active, this construct exhibits the ability to temporarily 'flatten' portions of reality into a script-like narrative. This narrative is derivative of the genre established by North American writers of hard-boiled and noir fiction1.

During this period, SCP-3143 takes on the role of the main character (a 1930s private detective) hired to solve a case. All entities flattened by its effect become characters within the narrative surrounding it, exhibiting personalities and attributes typical of the genre's style. The narrative will continue until SCP-3143's actions lead to a resolution consistent with the genre; at this point, the narrative will conclude and reality will revert. Events which occurred within the narrative will be projected into reality; however, entities involved in these events will typically have no recollection of what occurred.

SCP-3143 was first noted in 2005 in the aftermath of a containment breach at Site-95. In 2012, the Foundation's Pataphysics Department worked alongside the Department of Analytics to make contact with and apprehend SCP-3143.

SCP-3143-A is Murphy Lawden.

I'm still not quite sure what just happened.

Yesterday, our bots picked up unauthorized changes to documents on our internal servers. Two minutes later, all on-site personnel — including myself — blacked out for three hours. Every camera ceased to function during this period.

When we woke up, we all had headaches, the entire site smelled like cigarettes and cheap alcohol, two of my guards were injured, three bullets were lodged in my desk, and somebody had shot SCP-3043. The only clue we've got regarding those three hours is SCP-3043's old documentation, which has been… well, 'updated' is one way to put it. I've included it with this email, along with the revised documentation for SCP-3043.

We've got no clue who this 'Murphy Law' character is. I'm recommending we immediately assign him an SCP identification and start investigating. All the evidence we've got so far indicates that he and SCP-3043 are unrelated anomalies. Also, none of us actually remember him — despite some of us being 'featured' in… whatever the hell this was.

The short of it is this: Either he saved us from the mother of all containment breaches… or he just wanted us to think that he did. Regardless of which, we need to know who he is and what the hell he's capable of.

In summary

SCP-3143 and SCP-3043 Can/Co-exists and even interacts with each other within the narrative. SCP-3143, also known as Murphy Law, is an intrafictional construct that can "flatten" reality into a noir-style narrative. SCP-3043 is a 1937 typewriter that can rewrite physical documents to match what is typed into it. In one scenario, Dr. Lewis, while updating documentation about SCP-3043, experiences a feeling of being erased, indicating an interaction with SCP-3043. This same Dr. Lewis also finds herself in a noir narrative created by SCP-3143, suggesting that both anomalies were active at the same time.

YouTube video describes the interaction between them In the specific scenario mentioned, Dr. Lewis, while working with SCP-3043, experiences a sense of erasure and is then found within a narrative created by SCP-3143. This suggests that both anomalies can exist and potentially interact within the same reality, though SCP-3143's narrative powers might offer it a degree of protection.
