Item: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be kept secured in Low-risk Storage Vault C6-XXXX, at Site-58. Requests for testing can only be made by Level 2 staff upward and require approval from Senior Researcher Sugiyati
Description: SCP-XXXX is a black, cube-shaped DVD player, measuring 17cm3 and weighing 2kg. The front of SCP-XXXX comprises of two vertical slots for inserting DVD discs and a small 2cm x 4cm LCD screen. The rear side holds the power cable (US) and connections for an analog AV cable, while all other sides bear no noteworthy features. Analyzing the internal structure of SCP-XXXX while disconnected, shows it to be completely devoid of any components. However, when SCP-XXXX is active, internal analysis is rendered impossible and invariably inconclusive.
SCP-XXXX's anomalous behavior manifests when it is connected to a power source, plugged into a screen, and has two different DVDs inserted into it. When these criteria are met SCP-XXXX will activate, with its LCD screen will read "THNK YOU". After approximately 30 seconds, SCP-XXXX will begin to play a form of media. The media played by SCP-XXXX will consistently be a narrative amalgamation of the two inserted DVD's contents.
The content of the combined media is erratic and has previously ranged between a sophisticated melding of ideas and characters, to simply 2 sets of different media characters fighting for 90 minutes. As soon as the media ends, SCP-XXXX will display a short message on its LCD screen. All media created by SCP-XXXX will only play once and cannot be repeated as the DVD discs inserted into SCP-XXXX will not eject and are deemed irretrievable after use. See "SCP-XXXX Media Testing" for more amalgamation examples.
SCP-XXXX was found active in the middle of an empty office building after reports of electronic glitches were reported in a 10KM radius around the site. SCP-XXXX was observed to be showing the message ":):) ):)" on its LCD screen. Approximately 2500 empty DVD cases were strewn around the area of discovery. However, none of the cases contained information as to what was contained on them.

Incident-XXXX-1:
On 10/10/2020, all security monitors in Site-58's Low-risk Storage Vault ceased functioning, only displaying "AMHU GRY" in red text:
After a site-wide announcement by Site Director Miller, Senior Researcher Sugiyati suspected a link between the incident and SCP-XXXX . Testing procedures were reinstated for further investigation. Upon opening SCP-XXXX's storage locker, its display was noted to be showing the same message seen during Incident-XXXX-1. The effect of SCP-XXXX on monitors ended directly after Test #21 started, returning to normal function with no lasting damage.

TESTING SUSPENDED AS PER SENIOR RESEARCHER SUGIYATI'S REQUEST
Note from Senior Researcher Sugiyati on Incident-XXXX-2 - 11/19/2020: After two weeks without testing, SCP-XXXX seems to have caused another incident. This time also affecting the security monitors and staff cellphones in Wings A and C of Low-risk storage.
This has validated my suspicions that SCP-XXXX seems to obtain sustenance by creating narratives, but cannot create them without input. It also seems the longer the anomaly goes without sustenance, the more of its surroundings are affected by its annoying messages.
Of course, once SCP-XXXX creates a new narrative, it is no longer new, and therefore will not work as "food" for it. Therefore I will be creating and maintaining a list and schedule of media for SCP-XXXX testing. Containment procedures have been updated1.
SCP-XXXX is an anomalous coding program named "CoDE you're own 4K food!!" designed by the GOI known as TotleighSoft. When a human uses the included programming language referred to as "SEED#" inside the program, prints the code and plant's it, the anomolous behaviour manifests.
I know it's shit i wrote it in 2 minutes
Item: SCP-CCCC
Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: Due to the nature of SCP-CCCC, containment is not currently possible. Newly discovered SCP-CCCC-A instances are to be marked and kept under constant surveillance, either by personnel under the guise of park rangers or by remote motion-activated video monitoring2 with a base station constructed in the area.
Any mammalian organisms approaching an SCP-CCCC-A instance are to be actively discouraged from doing so by Foundation personnel. Current attempts to locate all instances of SCP-CCCC-A have limited success with only ███ "-A" designations found by Foundation mapping operatives.
Exploration of SCP-CCCC is to be approved by Site Director and Head Researcher Sugiyati beforehand.
Description: SCP-CCCC is an extra-dimensional area of space designed to function as a motel. Entrance to this space is found exclusively in trees located randomly in wooded areas around the world, these entrances are designated SCP-CCCC-A. The tree species and location vary but all affected trees have a minimum height of 3-meters.
When a mammalian organism climbs an SCP-CCCC-A instance to its halfway point, between 6 PM and 3 AM, it will seemingly vanish from view and be transported to SCP-CCCC. All objects on the subject's person will disappear with them, although tracking devices will cease to function, radio signals can still be picked up so long as the receiver is placed in close proximity to the tree3. The subject will then find themselves standing in a room inside SCP-CCCC with no recollection as to how they entered the structure.
SCP-CCCC is in a varying state of disrepair, with some rooms being spotless while others derelict or partially destroyed.
Rooms inside SCP-CCCC have a variation of the following contents:
- 1 single-sized bed, bedposts shaped like pine trees.
- 1 small wooden table.
- 1 CRT television with built in VCR, screen is not reflective, only plays static.
- 1 single-seating couch.
- A bathroom with a shower, washing basin and toilet. No mirror.
- 1 "mini bar" refrigerator.
- 1 microwave with non-reflective glass.
- 1 coffee maker with non-reflective glass.
- 1 wooden telephone devoid of input keys, receiving end rings continuously when picked up.
- 1 "Critter disposal chute"4
- 1 bronze door marked as "Exit".
Once inside SCP-CCCC, the subject can return to our dimension by going through the bronze "Exit" door in their room, after which they will reappear in the last position they held on SCP-CCCC-A. However, not all Exit doors can be opened. All subjects returning from SCP-CCCC will be missing $20 cash or the approximate value of the currency on hand. If the subject does not have cash upon exit, random personal belongings, items or even body parts will be missing from the subject when they leave
D-class have been approved for use in exploration and to assist in mapping the size of SCP-CCCC. See Exploration logs for more information.
First attempt at mapping out the size of SCP-CCCC's extradimensional area. D-2804 was provided with a pedometer, and a backpack containing a pencil, a notebook, a flashlight, energy bars, and water.
Dr. Sugiyati: "Good Evening, D-2804. Please climb the tree in front of you."
D-2804:[Under breath] "Geez, when last… Okay, heading up now."
D-2804 proceeds to climb SCP-CCCC-A-19
Dr. Sugiyati: "You should be entering SCP-CCCC any moment now. Please do not be distressed."D-2804: "Uhh… Okay? Should I stop climbi—"
D-2804 disappears from view.
Dr. Sugiyati: "Hello? D-2804?"
D-2804: "What the shit!?"
Dr. Sugiyati: "Please remain calm. Describe your surroundings, D-2804."
D-2804: "Fuck. Uh… Okay, I think I'm in some shitty motel room. Why am I standing?"
Dr. Sugiyati: "Stay focused. We need you to describe what you see, draw it in the notebook if you can.
D-2804: "Okay… I mean, there's a bed, a TV, I think that's a bathroom. Pretty standard stuff except the whole tree theme is a bit cheesy. By the way, I can hear you but the signal sounds really grainy."
Dr. Sugiyati: "Understood, please head outside of the room."
D-2804: "Through this big metal door with the 'Exit?' sign"
Dr. Sugiyati: "Negative, that is the door you will use to return to us after testing. We need you to head out the front door to map out the area."
D-2804: "Okay, got it. Heading outside now."
Dr. Sugiyati: "What do you see? Please use the pencil and notebook to draw an approximate map."
D-2804: "Looks like your standard motel in buttfuck nowhere."
Dr. Sugiyati: "Elaborate."
D-2804: "Well, its like, night. I'm on the second floor, I mean, I guess it's weird that there's no road out front, or any parking for that matter. I see some bike racks, though, and there's a tree line out front. I've drawn a map based off my POV"
Dr. Sugiyati: "Understood, please place the drawing in your backpack and head out further. Keep track of your pedometer step count. Also, can you enter the other rooms?"
D-2804: "I dunno, lemme check… Nope… Nope aaaand…Nope, all locked."
Dr. Sugiyati: "Understood. Please proceed."
D-2804: "Okay, cool. I'm gonna head to the treeline to get a better view of the place from the outside."Dr. Sugiyati: "Copy."
1 minute passes
D-2804: "Yeah… I dunno if drawing a map's gonna work here."
Dr. Sugiyati: "Explain."
D-2804: "Fuuuuuck… It's just the same shit, next to each other, over and over again. I can't see how far it goes."
Dr. Sugiyati: "D-2804, is it possible to climb one of the trees in the treeline? You'd get a better view."
D-2804: "Uh, I don't… I don't think I should do that.
Dr. Sugiyati: "D-2804 this is not a suggestion it is an order."
D-2804: "I just… I just got the most terrible feeling about climbing it. Like, you know that funny feeling in your legs when you're somewhere high up? That, but like, my whole body."
Dr. Sugiyati: "D-2804 if you do not comply you will be punished accordingly."
D-2804: "Okay. Going."
Dr. Sugiyati: "Thank you."
D-2804: "Oh hey, I found something in the grass."
Dr. Sugiyati: "What is it?"
D-2804: "It's like, a booklet, a bit damaged. But it's completely carved from wood. It say's 'Big Trees' on the front."
Dr. Sugiyati: Please place it in your backpack and proceed.
D-2804: "Yeah, it's in… Man, this place is quiet."
Dr. Sugiyati: "What do you mean?"
Dr. Sugiyati: "D-2804?"
Radio static.
Dr. Sugiyati: "D-2804, respond."
Radio static.
Dr. Sugiyati: It appears we have lost contact.
D-2804 did not return after 48 hours, presumed MIA. A new subject, D-8520, was sent up SCP-CCCC-A-19 to attempt to recover D-2804. The primary mission was unsuccessful, however, D-2804's backpack was recovered, still containing all original contents and their recovered documents:
- A rudimentary sketch of the layout outside of SCP-CCCC-A-19's room (Document CCCC-1).
- Wooden booklet labeled "Big Trees" in which the information is inscribed (Document CCCC-2).

Front Desk
Third Exploration attempt while mapping area of SCP-CCCC's extradimensional space. D-0410 was provided with a pedometer, and a backpack containing a pencil, a notebook, a flashlight, $20 cash, small flags for marking purposes, energy bars, and water.
Dr. Sugiyati: "Good Evening, D-0410. Please climb the tree in front of you."
D-0410: "Climbing now."
Dr. Sugiyati: "This should be a simple mapping mission. Since you have been inside SCP-CCCC before, you know what to expect. We need you to choose a direction and walk for as long as you can while keeping track of your pedometer. Understood?"
D-0410: "Yeah I'm sure that's what the guy before me thought."
Dr. Sugiyati: "Excuse me?"
//D-0410 disappears from SCP-CCCC-19
D-0410: "Listen, I know the deal okay? You sent me in to fetch a dude and he was just gone, only a backpack remaining. I know I'm a fuckin guinea-pig, I don't have a choice, so just give me my orders and stop lying to me."
Dr. Sugiyati: "D-0410, relax. We suspect the reason D-2804 disappeared was simply because they did not have $20 on them at the time."
D-0410: "$20? Heh, this really is a cheap motel. Anyway, I'm in front of the building and I'm going left, okay?"
Dr. Sugiyati: "Roger. Please place a marker and remember to check in with your pedometer readings."
After 30 minutes, Calculations put D-0410 at 3km away from the entry point.
D-0410: "It's still the same, I don't think this place ends, doc."
Dr. Sugiyati: "Keep going, D-0410. This might take all night, so remember to eat and hydrate yourself."
D-0410: "Yeah, okay."
Dr. Sugiyati: "I will check back in a few hours. Researcher Eddlestone will be taking over in the meantime."
D-0410: "Ahyt."
5 hours have passed, Calculations put D0410 at least 20km away from entry point.
Dr. Sugiyati: "Good Morning, D-0410. Researcher Eddlestone tells me nothing much has happened."
D-0410: "Yeah, getting tired but still the same motel on my left and freaky ass woods on my right. Some of the rooms I've seen looked damaged though."
Dr. Sugiyati: "Why do the woods seem 'freaky' to you?"
D-0410: "I don't know, they just give me the jeebies. Plus, the last guy's bag was near the trees when i found it,so like… I just don't wanna get too close."
Dr. Sugiyati: "Okay, lets try something else. See if you can get into another room."
D-0410: "Okay gimme a minute."
5 minutes pass.
D-0410: "Nah, checked both levels in this block. All locked."
Dr. Sugiyati: "D-0410, next time you're near a damaged room. See if you can find a way in. Keep going though, don't turn back yet."
D-0410: (Sighing) "Right, got it."
Senior Researcher Dr. Helen Sugiyati literally punched the stapler into her stack of papers. A loud crack signifying the completion of her report. The lab of junior researchers, slightly startled at the sudden noise, stared up at her.
"My bad!" She says, with a cringe.
"Anyway I think we're done for the night guys. Thank you for the assistance."
She hardly noticed them when she got in the zone. It wasn't her favourite thing to do, making her team work late. But the big paycheck meant she had the big responsibilities now, they hadn't left the lab facility in almost 16 hours. She'd only been in this position for 3 weeks and even though it was rough at times, was really beginning to enjoy the challenge.
She absent-mindedly scratched her hair with the pen in her hand, it came off greasy.
"You going to the party, Boss?" asked Junior Researcher Jess Albany, one of the 5 now leaving the labs.
Albany was simultaniously her most favorite and most annoying student. She'd asked her long ago to stop calling her 'Boss'.
"What party?" asked Helen.
"Uhh, it's Halloween…" says Albany, in a thick Australian accent.
"…"
"The spooky time?"
"I know what Halloween is, Researcher Albany. I just— That's today?"
"Yeah, that's how days work isn't it?"
Helen looked at her watch, 11:09 PM.
"Well, funnelnuts."
"What?"
She'd been so busy with the new Site move, the new position and projects that she completely forgot what day it was. Being in one area all day didn't help either. She used to love Halloween.
"Nothing, I — When does the party start?" she asked
"Midnight! Prime spooky time! Does that mean ya coming, Boss?" Albany beamed.
"Is it a costume thing? I legitimitely had no idea they did parties here."
"Hah! No way. Just a little get together of our wing. Some music, some corny decorations, nothing major. Lots of booze though!" She winked.
She noticed the other Junior Researchers waiting at the door, it seemed like they wanted to hear the answer as well.
"Okay, cool. I'm gonna go have a shower, freshen up and I'll see you guys there."
"Nice! We'll see you soon."
