Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is contained within a soundproof Standard Secure Humanoid Containment Cell on Floor 10 of Site 88. At all times, SCP-XXXX must be restricted in standard wrist restraints and a jaw restraint. SCP-XXXX must be monitored by at least a single armed guard, who must be wearing silencing headphones. When food is delivered, the guard must close the door upon entry and exit when delivering food and removing the jaw restraint. SCP-XXXX's gaze may cause a frightened reaction in those inexperienced in with handling it. SCP-XXXX has no recorded history of hostility or violence, but in the event that SCP-XXXX does act attack Foundation staff or another SCP, guards are to taser it. To keep facial hair from interfering with the operation of the jaw restraint, SCP-XXXX is to be shaved once a week, at 1930 hours on Sundays.
SCP-XXXX is cooperative and is always kept silent. SCP-XXXX is given art supplies to keep it from acting out, though containment seems to have altered SCP-XXXX's mentality, as it paints burning hellscapes and other disturbing images, having originally painted beautiful landscapes. Further investigation revealed that the paintings contain world of their own, and are labeled as SCP-XXXX-2. Once entered, these paintings are impossible to escape. Only those with Class B authorization or higher may have access to these paintings.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a human entity, roughly 1.87 meters in height, and has brown hair and blue eyes. SCP-XXXX has an average muscular build and weighs roughly 113.398 kilograms. SCP-XXXX appears to have the ability to calm humans, and possibly animals, into a state of relaxation through ASMR (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response). ASMR is meant to put the listener into a state of relation through vocal exercises, which stimulate a calming response.
SCP-XXXX referred to Barrack Obama as "President" during the presidency of Bill Clinton, leading Foundation researchers to believe that SCP-XXXX may be experiencing a space-time anomaly.
Prior to Foundation containment, SCP-XXXX was known as the popular television star Bob Ross.
Addendum XXXX: Discovery
The Foundation first became aware of a possible threat after receiving reports of deaths related to "The Joy of Painting", a television show in which a man, Bob Ross, would paint on a canvas while speaking to the camera. Further investigation revealed five comas and two deaths caused by viewing the show. These were found to be caused by a state of extreme relaxation. SCP-XXXX's voice was found to be the main cause of relaxation.
SCP-XXXX was diagnosed with lymphoma in 1994, leading to conflicts between Foundation researchers. Some believed it would be best to let him die, while others argued that it would be more ethical to bring him into confinement and treat the disease. The latter won over the Foundation, and SCP-XXXX's death was faked in 1995. To avoid detection, SCP-XXXX was transported to Site 88 in SCP-2986 and it's lymphoma was cured with a dose of SCP-500.
Following containment, SCP-XXXX was interviewed by Dr. Albert Dretch. The interview is as follows.
Interviewer: Dr. Albert Dretch
Interviewee: SCP-XXXX
[BEGIN LOG]
Dr. Dretch: State your name.
SCP-XXXX: Robert Norman Ross. But you can call me Bob.
Dr. Dretch: Hello, Bob. Do you know why you're here?
SCP-XXXX: I can't say I do… (Hesitates) I'm sorry I don't think I caught your name.
Dr. Dretch: Dr. Albert Dretch.
SCP-XXXX: I can't say I do know why I'm here, Albert.
Dr. Dretch: May I explain?
SCP-XXXX: If you would like to, yes.
Dr. Dretch: Well, Bob, it would appear that your television show has done a bit of damage. Your
soothing voice has calmed some people a bit too much.
SCP-XXXX: What do you mean by "a bit too much", Albert?
Dr. Dretch: Do you consider yourself an emotional man, Bob?
SCP-XXXX: I like to think I care about everyone and everything, yes.
Dr. Dretch: (Hesitates) Your voice has calmed five people into comas, Bob. Two others have been calmed to death.
(Long pause)
Not such a happy accident, huh?
(Long pause)
I know this is a lot to take in Bob. Death is a natural thing, a normal thing. And it's more than normal here in the Foundation. Besides, I think relaxation is a beautiful way to go, you leave the world feeling that all is fine and dandy. We've had weirder things, too. We've got a plague doctor that makes zombies, a mask that possesses and kills you, a happy little orange blob. Hell, we've got a concrete statue that snaps your neck in the blink of an eye. Literally!
SCP-XXXX: (Begins to cry)
Dr. Dretch: Let's get you to your cell, Bob. I think you've been through enough today.
