Premise notes

1. The (MA?)-Class Mass Animation scenario denotes the provision of life, consciousness, or movement to objects on a global scale.
   1. We need to decide on the designation for this.
2. The particular scenario we have in mind is that this occurs for anything that has a face.
   1. In this setup, everything that has a face has a consciousness.
      1. This is because the shape of a face is a magic sigil.
      2. This only occurs if it was created with the intention of looking like a face.
   2. Something enervates everything with faces.
      1. We need to decide what this "something" is, in particular:
         1. How it spreads, if at all.
         2. How this influences the events that follow.
      2. The minds and personalities of animated objects are shaped by how people interact with them.
         1. This is tentative.
         2. They probably have ways of sensing and communicating analogous to humans.
         3. They don't necessarily think or talk in a way that humans can comprehend.
            1. They might communicate in the language of their creator.
      3. We need to decide on aesthetic details of this event — what it looks like, sounds like, etc.
3. The world ends.
   1. We need to decide what it means for the world to end, here.
   2. We need to decide how it occurs as a result of the Mass Animation.

1. The Serpent's Hand develops a ritual to make inanimate objects animate
2. The Foundation discovers and documents this technique (Scans's SCP)
3. SCP Document leaks to MC&D
4. MC&D agents attempt to use the ritual to make living toys, accidentally apply it to the entire planet (Maxima script)
5. Foundation goes public to try to control this new global phenomena (Schuyler future SCP format?)
6. Other GOIs use anomalous means to strike back against authoritarian Foundation, exposing the full anomalous nature of the world
7. World is now a chaotic wasteland with Foundation-controlled Containment Zones scattered around.
8. AWCY? tries to make a giant statue champion, accidentally get conquered by it and forced to make it an army. (Schuyler AWCY? project proposal) probably not actually that important to the world, but funny.
