SCP-4559-12, inactive.

Item #: SCP-4559

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: Keep it in a box, keep it engaged???

Description: SCP-4559 is a collection of approximately 70 dolls, puppets and marionettes resembling clowns who collectively form a quadrupedal entity of human-like intelligence. SCP-4559 is blind, deaf and anosmic - while capable of written English provided the tools, SCP-4559 prefers to communicate via the various voiceboxes, bells and horns incorporated in the dolls that form its body, overlapping sounds to imitate crude speech. Responses can be made via a speech-to-Braille device, following lessons with foundation staff1

SCP-4559 self-identifies as a human male, 14 at time of containment2, with a number of names it switches between depending on context.

Ms. Bridge: Hey, Richie. Are you Richie today?

SCP-4559: I'M RICHIE

Ms. Bridge: Ok, cool. We're gonna talk a bit about where you were when we found you, Richie, if that's alright.

SCP-4559: THUMBS UP EMOJI

**Ms. Bridge*: Ok, great. Uh,, lemme see..

As Ms. Bridge consults her notes, SCP-4559 walks away from the Braille machine and behind her, then places a foreleg on the back of her knee.

SCP-4559: (Tag, you're it!)

Ms. Bridge laughs, then turns and taps SCP-4559's torso. SCP-4559 returns to the machine, honking in an approximation of laughter.

Ms. Bridge: So, when we found you, you weren't like this.

SCP-4559: YEH I DIDN'T HAVE A BEARD YET

Ms. Bridge: You were a pile of puppets, Richie.

SCP-4559: WITHOUT A BEARD

Ms. Bridge: OK, Richie, I'll play along today, but we'll talk about this next week.

SCP-4559: YOU'LL PLAY!

Ms. Bridge: Later.

SCP-4559: YEAH OK SPOILSPORT
