Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be walled off and and purchased by the Foundation, and has been converted to Site-197. The site is now under protection by MTF Psi-7 ("Home Improvement"). Cameras and security personnel are to be active at all times.
Any sight of SCP-XXXX-A leaving the house is to be intercepted by Home Improvement, and to be reported to the Site Director immediately. Reports of switching signs around back to the house without any signs of humans have been successful at containing SCP-XXXX-A.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a standard colonial-era two story house in ███████, Detroit. It has approximately ██ rooms, however new discoveries of rooms have been rare and almost spontaneous. Opening the front door will open into a non-anomalous house with standard mid-century furniture and appliances.
SCP-XXXXwill start producing anomalous properties once SCP-XXXX-A leaves SCP-XXXX's garage. The windows of the cars are all tinted black in a material that absorbs light, therefore peeking into the car, or to see the driver, is impossible. SCP-XXXX-A, once leaving the front lawn of the house, will immediately start seeking people in a ███ kilometre radius. Once SCP-XXXX-A finds people suitable, it will stop near them. The persons who have been selected will suddenly stop what they are doing, and enter the backseat of the car. Investigations have shown that a sleeping gas of unknown make will be dispersed . SCP-XXXX-A will immediately drive back to the garage of SCP-XXXX.
Following SCP-XXXX-A, the persons, who will be designated with a number after SCP-XXXX-20-███, as so far ███ individuals have entered SCP-XXXX since discovery and containment. The subject will wake up after between 3-30 hours after initial abduction, and will momentarily feel confused and nauseous. The subject will be pulled toward a note pinned on the exit door to the main house. The note shall then be designated SCP-XXXX-B.
Viewers of the note shall follow the rules loosely as a memetic hazard has been seen on every note to appear, with promise of escape after finishing the set of rules by SCP-3219-B. Usually the puzzles are tied to the item, thus 'rewarding' the subject with the object. These 'quests' are randomized with every new victim, however it follows the same guideline:
- Find 5-██ certain items (all randomized, no duplicates).
- Complete 5-██ puzzles, can range from jigsaw, riddles, [DATA EXPUNGED], and others. Mostly found in rooms that tie to the item.
- 'Defeat' 1-███ 'bosses', and the final boss.
Within SCP-XXXX, the hume level is approximately 1.██████, which gives the subjects an ability to not eat, drink or sleep for as long as they are in SCP-XXXX. However, if the subject wishes, consuming food and water within SCP-XXXXwill give 'bonuses' to the consumer, example being one (1) standard slice of white bread will give the subject more energy and increased awareness. It is unknown as to how SCP-XXXX creates such foodstuffs, even when external foodstuffs are brought within.
Subjects will proceed to enter through the door to the foyer of the house (see image). Despite seemingly abandoned, objects will appear at the same place every time a new person/s enter with no signs of aging or dust buildup. A layout of the house will not stay the same, e.g. one room may switch places with another, or [DATA EXPUNGED], leading to ██████. Each room has a set 'style', with rooms that can seem more rococo, while another may have a 1950's American Diner style. Each time a new victim enters, the amount and style of rooms with no real explanation.
In every case, SCP-XXXX will spawn a bathroom , within which has a humanoid entity, hereby designated SCP-XXXX-C, or commonly known as "The Merchant". SCP-XXXX speaks in a heavy British accent, almost to the point of satirizing it, and wears a light brown rain jacket with its hood covering his head, rounded black sunglasses, a dark green cloak that covers his shoulders and upper arms, camo pants, and black boots. SCP-XXXX-██ are able to talk to him, however questions about the house, the owners, where they are, and similar questions are brushed off. Any further questioning results in him pulling out a '███████ Arms' brand 1865 Double Barreled Shotgun, however this has been made to intimidate the subject, rather than terminating. The Merchant will keep a friendly attitude no matter the case, and can trade or buy items from him. Currency includes a silver coin of unknown make, engravings with no known background to any civilization, and is completely indestructible. This currency is also randomly spawned around the house, although finding coins are rare, and involves solving a puzzle in order to get more. A list of items SCP-XXXX-C has and can be bought are shown below.
In the event that the subject may complete all 3 'quests', the subject will place the objects collected on the foyer table. Once that has been completed, a door in the foyer shall open. This room, dubbed the "Master Bedroom", which has 2 statues between a bed with black bedding, a bust of ██████ ██████████, and a mirror closet. A riddle shall appear on the bed. The riddle reads:
"Greetings my friend/s. Welcome, to the final stage to salvation. Your answer rests here, in this very room. Look into yourself, look deeper, and you will find the key."
The exact riddle is the same in every case. If the subject touches the closet mirror in the room, a glow will appear and a portal next to the subjects hand will slowly open. Once the mirror opens, and the subject enters, they will be brought into an exact copy of the world they exited, however everything shall be mirrored, hence the name "Mirror World". In about 10-20 seconds, a humanoid entity dubbed SCP-XXXX-D will enter via the entrance. SCP-XXXX-D is an exact copy of the subject, however is completely surrounded by a black smoke, and its shape distorted. SCP-XXXX-D, once caught sight of its victim, will attempt to 'harm' the subject by blasting out memories through an unknown means of 'speaking', exactly from their minds. Viewers outside of the room will not be affected, and cannot see what the victim may see. These memories will seem to distress the subject. Soon after a SCP-XXXX-D will pull out a knife of unknown make or origin from within its 'abdomen'. SCP-XXXX-D will float towards the subject, and an appendage holding the knife will hand over the knife to the victim. SCP-XXXX-D will taunt the subject with an unknown means of speaking, by taunting in various languages, phrases, and [DATA EXPUNGED], although the similar sentence has been concluded to saying "DO IT" and "SALVATION AWAITS YOU".
From this point, another entity designated SCP-XXXX-E will appear through the wardrobe. SCP-XXXX-E is very similar to SCP-XXXX-D, but has a more feminine stance and body appearance and is covered in a bright glow. SCP-XXXX-E will always try to comfort the subject, even if the subject will appear distressed by it and/or harm SCP-XXXX-E. Sentences that SCP-XXXX-E will 'speak' have been concluded to "I LOVE YOU" and "IT'S NOT ALL YOUR FAULT". SCP-XXXX-E, by the same way SCP-XXXX-D 'speaks'. Comforting phrases and gestures are heard from SCP-XXXX-E, whom the subject may calm down. SCP-XXXX-D will appear to 'argue' to SCP-XXXX-E, which is subsequently ignored by the latter. SCP-XXXX-E will extend an appendage to the subject.
The subject in this situation has two known conclusions. If the subject chooses to hold SCP-XXXX-E's 'hand', they will be absorbed by SCP-XXXX-E into its body, which has been described as 'warm' and 'relaxing'. SCP-XXXX-13█ describes it as "like being held by your mother when you were young". While this is happening, although not seen by external matters, SCP-XXXX-D will continue to speak out slurs and other negative gestures, however subjects shall ignore anything outside of SCP-XXXX-E.
If however, the subject ignores SCP-XXXX-E, mostly those with histories of low morale via depression and/or other mental illnesses or other external sources, and chooses SCP-XXXX-D's 'gift', SCP-XXXX-D will 'grin' via hints by how its distortion is bending, and hand the knife to the subject. The subject, ignoring SCP-XXXX-E's pleas, will attempt to stab themselves in the abdomen many times. Once the subject expires, sometimes in a few seconds, however a subject was known to savour the pain, leading to their expire ███ minutes in. SCP-XXXX-E will appear distressed body posture will appear that it is 'crying'. Both SCP-XXXX-D and SCP-XXXX-E will disappear, and all cameras or external sources situated in the Mirror World will abruptly turn off. So far, about ███ casualties have been documented.
If in the case the subject chooses to live, the subject will be put back into the world they exited by and unknown means. Cameras and microphones will be turned off in this transportation. Objects can be turned off for about 4-██ minutes. The subject shall be awoken a room connected that exits to the non-anomalous foyer. MTF-PSI-7 will be alerted by motion sensors, and the subject will be sent to Site-197's interview room.
The subject shall be 'renewed' and have a more positive outlook on life, and experiments on the subject will show the subject has increased Endorphins and Dopamine. Usually the subject will remain in SCP-3219 for 3-███ days. It is unknown why some objects are allowed to leave SCP-3219, while others merely disintegrate or disappear upon exiting the mirror world.

The following note was given to A██████ M██████, who has had a history of Depression since a fatal car incident in 19██.
Addendum XXXX.3:Exploration Logs
Date: ██/██/████
Subject: D-65423
Researcher overlooking the exploration: Dr. Triton
D-65423 was dropped off approx. █ kilometres from SCP-3219 proper. Due to the spontaneous nature of SCP-3219-A, D-65423 was chosen out of the ███ subjects that had histories of Depression and/or other mental illnesses. He was given a standard field-kit made especially for SCP-3219. It includes a standard flashlight with three (3) hours lifespan with additional batteries, 4 MRES of any type, and one (1) standard issue field knife and compass.

Command: That's your ride.
D-65423:Haha! No way man, that's sick. Riding in style after staying out here all day.
At this point SCP-3219-A parks next to D-65423. The back door anomalously opens without any external force.
D-65423: Guess I gotta enter?
Command: Please do
D-65423 enters into the car. The front of the car is concealed by a wall with a small window. Peeking into the window is impossible as it has been tinted with the same material that absorbs light.
D-65423: Right so wh-
Audible static and interference can be heard and seen through the camera, with command whispering in the background.
Command: D-65423, are you still there? Can you hear us?
A bright pink gas is dispersed throughout the compartment.
D-65423: Ge— you— hey!—

D-65423: Yeah I'm fine, what happened?
Command: We don't know, you just … fell asleep
D-65423: Man, this garage is full of car stuff, these guys must be rich.
D-65423 notices the note on the garage door.
D-65423: Huh? What's this?
D-65423 starts to murmur the rules. His objects include a pill bottle full of [DATA EXPUNGED], a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, a pillow wrapped in a cover depicting an ocean, a '██████' brand radio from 19██, a copy of the book 'Animal Farm' by George Orwell, and a kitchen knife with a brown wooded handle. His only 'boss' D-65423 has to encounter is Sam, the Siamese [REDACTED] and SCP-3219-D.
D-65423: Yeah, real funny guys. Is this some game show based off those old 'Ispy' books? Fuck, I hate being shown on camera.
Command: This isn't a game show. This is your key to freedom.
D-65423: -shrugs- Yeah sure…
D-65423 enters SCP-3219 proper. The foyer is a large marble lined room with Greek style columns, a stairway in the centre, with various doors both above and below ground. Few doors are on the ceiling and floor. All doors has its own style, while some are bare, and others with signs.
D-65423: My … God …
Command: D-65423, please continue into the games room.
D-65423: Where the hell is that?
Command: That's for you to find.
D-65423: D-65423 groans. Alright, but this all better be worth it.
[REDACTED]
D-65423: "Turn the statue so he may face the where the sun shines during communal worship." Hmm, does the sun rise east or west?
Command: East.
D-65423: East huh? Thanks for the compass guys. I think I might be cheating using this but whatever. You guys don't care right?
[DATA CORRUPTED]
D-65423 enters to the bathroom housing SCP-3219-C.
Toilet flush sound.
D-65423: U-uuh… guys…?
SCP-3219-C enters via the latrine. He is wearing a light brown rain jacket with its hood covering his head, a dark green cloak that covers his shoulders and upper arms, camo pants, and black boots.
SCP-3219-C: Oh that's gotta 'urt in the mornin'. Oooh jeez …
SCP-3219-C stumbles about slightly quietly murmuring to himself, and notices D-65423 standing near the entrance. SCP-3219-C stops what he was doing, and smiles.
SCP-3219-C: Well, what do we 'ave 'ere? Another lad, comin' into me ol' shop. He laughs. Heh, so, you got them dinars?
D-65423: Uuh, what?
SCP-3219-C: DINARS! Coins, dollars, rupees, yen, you know, those silver coins in that front pocket of yours?
D-65423: How did you—
SCP-3219-C: Heh… I know things mate, I know things.
D-65423 digs through his pocket, revealing 10 silver coins.
D-65423: Uh, 10 … dinars???
SCP-3219-C smiles.
SCP-3219-C: Plus, that silver-lined compass and M9 knife ya got in that jacket of yers. Both adds up to 25 … 'dinars'. So, whaddaya say? 'ave a look at me wares. I ain't goin' anywhere anytime.
D-65423: Uh … sure.
SCP-3219-C starts setting up the bathroom table with various oddities, from foodstuffs, paper, weapons, [DATA EXPUNGED], and a Polaroid picture of SCP-3219 posing in front of the [REDACTED] exterior.
D-65423: I … uh … ok …
SCP-3219-C: Well, once ya see somethin' ya like, I'll give ya a good deal you won't git anywhere else.
D-65423: Hmm …
D-65423 turns his back to SCP-3219-C and covers his mouth.
D-65423: Hey guys … this dude … is a bit of a weirdo. Where'd you hire him? Anyways, what should I get?
Command: Don't ask us, choose something that might help you. Maybe come back later?
D-65423 nods in agreement, and turns back to SCP-3219-C.
D-65423: I-I'll come back later
SCP-3219-C: Heh, you sure will.
D-65423 exits through the bathroom door, turning back to SCP-3219-C, who has fallen asleep.
[PLEASE CONTACT I.T. SUPPORT ON LEVEL ██]
D-65423 exits the bedroom door.
D-65423: Panting. Oooh my God. Holy Shit. Holy shit, Holy shit, Holy—
Command: Hey! Snap out of it, you got it, calm down. Sam won't be hurting you no more.
D-65423 stumbles to sit on the floor.
D-65423: Okay, okay … Let me rest here for a while please.
Command: Please go forward whenever you are ready.
[YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO KNOW.]
D-65423 enters back into SCP-3219-C's bathroom. A shower head can be heard turning on behind the door. D-65423 rushes to get in, not realizing this.
D-65423: Hey, you I nee-
SCP-3219-C pops his head out of the shower curtain. His hood and black tinted glasses still covering his face.
D-65423: Oooh no! Oh god, my bad I-
SCP-3219-C: Oh, no problem mate, I only just started! Hah, you look like you need it more than me though!
D-65423: Yeah sure, ok. Well I don't need it right now. I need a weapon.
SCP-3219-C: A weapon?! You've come to the roight place eh? Hehehah!
D-65423: I'm thinking of something blunt, like a shovel or a bat. You got something like that?
SCP-3219-C: Of course! Come right in. I got somethin' for the likes of you. How 'bout this, eh?
SCP-3219-C steps out of the showerplace, still wearing his clothes. SCP-3219-C reaches into his left back pocket in his jacket, and pulls out a standard wooden baseball bat with red tape covering the bottom of the bat, even though from an external view the bat would've been impossible to conceal.
SCP-3219-C: Eh, whaddaya say? 19 dinars, upfront please!
D-65423: S-sure … Here, 19 dinars.
D-65423 passes SCP-3219-C 19 silver coins, and SCP-3219-C trades the bat to D-65423.
SCP-3219-C: Heh, pleasure doing business with you … Good luck, you'll be meetin' them soon…
D-65423: Thanks man. Wait, what did you say?
SCP-3219-C is motionless, head down, almost sleeping. He appears to have a slight frown to his face. D-65423 exits.
[THIS RUINS THE FUN OF EXPLORING.]
D-65423 sets up all the objects on the table in the centre of the foyer.
[YOU MAKE ME SAD.]
D-65423 escapes wildly through the door to the foyer, whom commander ████████ of the MTF Psi-7 task force comes to meet him. D-65423 is seen panting heavily, however his dopamine levels have risen significantly. [REDACTED]. The bat recovered from D-65423 is to be sent to the site lab immediately and as much blood to be removed from the bat to be examined.
It appears D-65423 has successfully defeated SCP-3219. Please direct him to my office tomorrow. Let's see if amnestics will work this time-Dr. Triton.
Addendum XXXX.4: A Journal found in the study room. Snippets of the journal from various subjects have been put in chronological order as much as possible.
- September ██, 18██, found during exploration SCP-XXXXE24: "It has been only but a few days since the day me and my wife have moved into the new lands, and it feels almost familiar to our abode in Outer London, but rather without the constant rain."
- October █, 18██, found during exploration SCP-XXXXE36: "As I have in the olden days, I shall serve in the forces to allow my wife and children to not worry about funds for the future. Moving here has surely been a burden on our pockets."
- December ██, 189█, found during Exploration SCP-XXXXE38:
