Avernale-0002: Parasitic Tattoo Fetish

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX-A is to be wrapped in opaque material and stored in a large crate or other container. Additional packing materials are authorized, but not required. At no time are female personnel allowed to view SCP-XXXX-A without prior approval from site staff. Should any part of it be exposed outside of testing parameters, all female personnel are to vacate the room immediately and remain so until SCP-XXXX-A is securely concealed again. No one is to allow bare skin to come in contact with SCP-XXXX-A or anyone touching SCP-XXXX-A unless instructed to by authorized testing personnel. Anyone who does so is to be quarantined immediately until administered Procedure XXXX-Eternity.

Any additional instances of SCP-XXXX-A are to be destroyed immediately.

Samples of SCP-XXXX-B are to be stored in opaque, water-tight containers and are to be treated as bio-hazardous material. Anyone contaminated with SCP-XXXX-B are to be quarantined immediately until administered Procedure XXXX-Eternity.

Samples of SCP-XXXX-C may be stored in standard food containers and kept in refrigeration. They are not to be eaten until it is determined they are not hazardous. Anyone attempting to plant them are to be quarantined immediately until administered Procedure XXXX-Eternity.

This should go without saying, but SCP-XXXX are not for recreational use and anyone claiming otherwise is to be quarantined immediately until administered Procedure XXXX-Eternity. Taking advantage of persons under the influence of SCP-XXXX-A or SCP-XXXX-B is considered harassment and/or assault and may be grounds for litigation and punishments up to and including termination and imprisonment after administration of Procedure XXXX-Eternity.

Description: SCP-XXXX-A is a large, wooden sarcophagus with ornate carvings of writhing snakes. In the presence of a human female, the sarcophagus transforms into a "throne" that reclines at a one-hundred thirty-five degree (135°) angle. Human females in the presence of SCP-XXXX-A immediately become instances of SCP-XXXX-2 and, unless prevented from doing so, will immediately disrobe and sit on the throne to sexually gratify themselves and anyone who wishes to join them regardless of their previous attitudes towards sex or the other participants. They will continue to do so until gratification is reached, at which point they will continue gratifying themselves unless they have more pressing concerns elsewhere. Human males are not affected in the same way, nor are they allowed to sit directly on the throne, but are permitted to participate.

Instances of SCP-XXXX-2 are easily dissuaded from disrobing and coming in contact with SCP-XXXX-A by simply being told not to. Dissuaded instances report feelings of disappointment and continued desire to disrobe and gratify themselves on SCP-XXXX-A while in its presence, even while aware of the risks involved. Its presence remains a mild distraction while performing other tasks. Some instances report being able to get around this by imagining SCP-XXXX-A as a reward for completing said tasks. When left alone with SCP-XXXX-A, the likelihood of the instance disrobing and sitting on it increases the longer they remain in its presence regardless of whether or not they had be dissuaded. These effects become more pronounced after the instance has disrobed, and may attempt to gratify themselves regardless. Instances are easily removed from SCP-XXXX-A's presence, and quickly cease being instances of SCP-XXXX-2 barring outside encouragement from instances of SCP-XXXX-1.

No major personality changes have been observed from an instance of SCP-XXXX-2, aside from the following:

  • Preference for loose and/or revealing clothing, ideally complete nudity.
  • Increased enthusiasm for a primary, non-sexual interest.
  • Increased enthusiasm for sexual gratification, especially in groups.
  • Absolute willingness to be observed in the act of gratification.
  • Desire to spend extended amounts of time in the presence of SCP-XXXX-A and instance of SCP-XXXX-1, especially in acts of gratification.
  • Affection for and sexual attraction to instance of SCP-XXXX-2 and SCP-XXXX-1 regardless of previous sexual orientation.

Human females who view SCP-XXXX-A through transparent materials, a live video feed, or as a silhouette become instances of SCP-XXXX-3. (Still images, recorded/delayed video, and other depictions will have no effect) Instances of SCP-XXXX-3 share similar but diminished traits to instances of SCP-XXXX-2. Of note, the subjects are easily dissuaded by locked doors, though not unlocked ones if left unattended. If there is an authority figure present, an instance of SCP-XXXX-3 may request access to SCP-XXXX-A while optimistically preparing to disrobe. (Unattended female authority figures are likely to unthinkingly permit access and even participate) Once dissuaded, the instance will immediately abandon the prospect, and will only express mild curiosity if it is brought up again.

Instances of SCP-XXXX-3 are permissive of and are easily persuaded to engage in disrobing and acts of gratification while SCP-XXXX-A is observable and will cease being instances of SCP-XXXX-3 soon after it is concealed. If they have already disrobed or are in the middle of engagement when the change occurs or are discovered by an intruding party, they may become humiliated or even traumatized.

Regardless of gender, anyone who comes into direct skin contact with SCP-XXXX-A or with anyone in direct skin contact with SCP-XXXX-A (and in direct skin contact with them and so on) will immediately become contaminated with SCP-XXXX-B and becomes an instance of SCP-XXXX-1. SCP-XXXX-B is a microbial parasite colony that manifests on the skin as tribal-style tattoo of a serpent. This "tattoo" is mobile, easily navigating around the instance's body as if it were a real serpent, thus allowing it to evade detection. Instances of SCP-XXXX-1 claim the feeling of the serpent's movements to be highly pleasurable. The presence of SCP-XXXX-B allows SCP-XXXX-A to exert its influence on the instance regardless of distance or viewability.

Additionally, instances of SCP-XXXX-1 will refuse to allow uncontaminated individuals of any gender to leave the presence of SCP-XXXX-A without being contaminated first. If necessary, they will resort to force. Contaminated individuals who have not already disrobed and engaged in gratification will immediately do so.

Instances of SCP-XXXX-1 are capable of behaving as they normally have in order to blend in with human society. An instance of SCP-XXXX-1 will only leave the presence of SCP-XXXX-A to prevent drawing attention to it's existence while also recruiting more humans (preferably females, close friends, and authority figures) to become instances of SCP-XXXX-1. Instances are unlikely to act openly or resort to force in the early stages of infestation, instead relying on subterfuge, but may become more brazen as their numbers increase. At least one instance of SCP-XXXX-1 will remain in the presence of SCP-XXXX-A, usually an apparent favorite of it, for as long as it is able. Instances of SCP-XXXX-1 left alone outside the presence of SCP-XXXX-A will gratify themselves and each other, disrobing as time permits. Instances of SCP-XXXX-1 experience no shame in being caught, but will fake it where appropriate.

Normal humans who physically gratify themselves with an instance of SCP-XXXX-1 will become an instance of SCP-XXXX-4 and will remain so in their presence. Instances of SCP-XXXX-4 are similar to instances of SCP-XXXX-3, however the effect will remain for eight hours or more once they initially leave the presence of SCP-XXXX-1. Within that time, they will take all reasonable efforts to seek out any instance of SCP-XXXX-1 without drawing attention of normal humans in order to gratify themselves and extend the time limit until they can be brought to SCP-XXXX-A for contamination. Instances of SCP-XXXX-4 cannot make further instances on their own and may attempt to maintain the effect beyond the eight hour limit through force of will if necessary.

Even without males, female instances of SCP-XXXX-1 may become pregnant once contamination spreads sufficiently though the local population. Such pregnancies result in an instance of SCP-XXXX-C. This instance is a lavender, fleshy fruit the size of a football with a black pit the size of a baseball. Once planted in soil, over a period of three months it will grow into another instance of SPC-XXXX-A. Normal pregnancies also occur, resulting in the birth of an instance of SCP-XXXX-6

The only known way to decontaminate an instance of SCP-XXXX-1 is Procedure XXXX-Eternity.

Addendum-XXXX-1: SCP-XXXX appears to have little influence on children, even as instances of SCP-XXXX-6, and its influence does not change anyone's attitude towards them (although pedophiles cease being attracted to them). There appears to be no desire to make them instances of SCP-XXXX-6 unless they need to kept on a short leash. Teenaged instances of SCP-XXXX-1, designated SCP-XXXX-5, actually show reduced sexual desire and are effectively chaste until SCP-XXXX deems them mature enough ("Ripe" seems to be preferred terminology), at which point the collective celebrates by allowing them to sit directly on the throne (regardless of gender) and makes them the focus of their gratification. Attitudes towards incest are not affected, although at least limited play occurs on special occasions.

Interestingly, SCP-XXXX's influence seems to include the idea that nudity is not inherently sexual and encourages everyone to disrobe regardless of age or appearance.

Addendum-XXXX-2: Containment protocols may need to be revised in light of recent testing which shows SCP-XXXX may merely prefer human females over human males. A female-presenting, pre-op transsexual D-Class was exposed to SCP-XXXX-A unattended while observed through a live video feed. The D-Class proceeded to disrobe until she removed her undergarments. The D-Class stood where she was for roughly twenty-five seconds before redressing and leaving the chamber without touching SCP-XXXX-A. According to a statement taken after testing, the D-Class hadn't even questioned what she had been doing at first, then felt extremely confused followed by embarrassment as she came to her senses and left.

Further testing may be required to determine if SCP-XXXX-A can identify human females disguised as human males, or even humans disguised as other creatures.

Addendum - Procedure XXXX-Eternity: The only known way to decontaminate instances of SCP-XXXX-1 is through exposure to an instance of SCP-YYYY. SCP-YYYY is the only known predator of SCP-XXXX-1 and reproduces by parasitically infecting SCP-XXXX-A. For this reason, SCP-XXXX-A is to be kept on the same site as SCP-YYYY, and an instance of SCP-YYYY is to be present when experimenting with SCP-XXXX.
