Acute Dermal Transference Patient (31) Note the characteristic dermal incisors and epidermal abrasions
Winifred Ciebrum (1894-1952)
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is a well-known aspect of human biology, and cannot be actively contained. Despite this, SCP-XXXX is still not understood by scientists of late, and further studies are required.
Description: The first layer of skin- the epidermis- is comprised of soft, waterproof tissue that structures the individual’s topmost features. The epidermis moves independently of the layers beneath it, often granting it sanctity over them. Common epidermal conditions, such as Houston’s Lip, Bullababel, and frontal hemorrhaging can be significantly linked to epidermal weakness.
The second layer of skin- the dermis- harbors connective tissue, sweat glands, and hair follicles. The dermis possesses a unique morphology to that of the epidermal face, a semi-pliable structure, and is capable of independent movement from all other layers, however, this can usually only be observed in extreme cases of dermal transference1. Uncooperative dermises are especially prevalent in young adults and the elderly- common signs include bristling hair and palpitations under the jawbone and ribs.
The third layer of skin- the hypodermis- contains firm connective tissue and fat. Very few living hypodermal specimens have been recorded in the modern era, with the exception of the medical miracle Winifred Ciebrum. With her cooperation, the following image has been added to this manual. As is visible, the hypodermis, while living, displays a physical quality similar to water running underneath cloth. Deceased hypodermal specimens only display this quality on the 14th, 28th, and 109th approximate day proceeding the host’s death. Common hypodermal illnesses include hypodermal transference2, Ciebrum’s Skull, and aortal longing.
The fourth and final layer of the skin- the cadermis- is a mass of cartilage, bone, and other solid matrixes. The cadermis, in opposition to the other layers, is static, and possibly non-sentient. It appears as a human form, however, petrified in an expression of distress. Given its form, it has been proposed that the cadermis is flexible at birth and quickly solidifies within the following weeks.
Historical Acknowledgements:
| Event | Description |
|---|---|
| Fort Worth, Texas - Mayoral Election of 1886 | Bill Skinner, who at the time was running for Fort Worth Mayor, began exhibiting severe symptoms of chronic epidermal recession during the late stages of the election. Disregarding the Fort Worth pharmacist, doctor, and his wife, Mr. Skinner proceeded onto the final runoff election, where he collapsed due to loss of blood. Mr. Skinner's competitor, H.S. Broiles won the mayoral election. Mr. Skinner passed one week after this incident. |
| Omaha, Nebraska - The Missing Tapestries of 1910 | An assemblage of unidentified cases of an acute epidermal recession disorder render approximately 100 civilians hospitalized and, shortly after, deceased. All victims of this unidentified disorder were monitored for several days after death, however, their epidermis never resurfaced during this period- an abnormal quality for the majority of epidermal disorders. Nearly all of the fatalities were located on the same street, Warbler St., the only survivors of this event was the the Cole family. Their children hold no knowledge of the event. |
| London - The Caterwaul Orphanage Murder of 1927 | Catherine Wright, a previous orphan at the Caterwaul Orphanage in London, was born with embryonic cadermis syndrome, rendering her eyes, mouth, and ears useless. She survived for 14 years being fed through carved holes in her cadermis. On her 14th birthday, Ms. Wright murdered a fellow orphan, seemingly unprovoked. Ms. Wright was charged and found guilty but was found dead in her cell 11 days proceeding her birthday. The official cause of death was determined to be starvation. |
