SCP-5036

Item #: SCP-5036

Object Class: Thaumiel

Special Containment Procedures: All instances of SCP-5036 are to be contained at Site-██ in a 5x2x5 metre containment cell and is to be kept no less than five (5) metres away from any entity capable of speech or other instances of SCP-5036 outside of testing purposes.

Description: SCP-5036 appears to be a novelty man in the moon matchbox approximately 4.5 centimetres in diameter with faces on both sides (one with a smile and the other with a melancholy frown). It appears to have a small lid on the top where matches would be stored that can open up to 90 degrees. All attempts to use SCP-5036 to light a match have worked, but have caused it distress. All attempts to force the lid open have failed.

Seventeen (17) instances of SCP-5036 had been identified and contained, they are referred to as SCP-5036-1, to SCP-5036-17, fifteen (15) of which still exist.

SCP-5036 instances appear to be indestructible, by any means other than another instance, and sentient. Instances of SCP-5036 speak and understand the main language of the country it was recovered from with both faces at once. Any attempts to speak to instances of SCP-5036 in a language other than the one of the country it was recovered from cause the instance to express confusion.

When alone, instances of SCP-5036 fly around containment at a maximum speed of eleven (11) kilometres per hour.

When within five (5) metres of any entity capable of speech, instances of SCP-5036 greet the subject in the SCP’s spoken language, subjects will understand what it is saying even if the subject doesn’t speak said language. After greeting the subject, SCP-5036 will ask the subject if they want to play a game, if the subject answers yes, SCP-5036 will fly two (2) feet into the air, spin for approximately two (2) seconds and land on top any surface below it1. If SCP-5036 lands with the frown face up, it turns to a smile, the lid will open and the subject will be sucked into SCP-5036, if the instance is already containing something, the already contained entity will be released.

If it lands with the smile face up, a small spark will appear on the striking surface and any entity contained within this instance will be lost forever. If the instance is empty it will express disappointment and ask the subject to leave.

If the subject doesn’t answer, says something unrelated or does not agree to play, the instance will suck the subject into itself and destroy any already contained entity. It appears that the face that SCP-5036 lands on is completely random.

Interaction between two (2) instances of SCP-5036 will cause them to attempt to contain each other causing both instances to vanish
SCP-███ and ███ are currently contained in SCP-5036-6 and SCP-5036-8 respectively. Attempts to contain SCP-████ have failed due to its anomalous nature, causing it to appear again and disappear from SCP-5036.

Addendum 5036-1: Discovery
SCP-5036 was discovered in a cathedral in ███████ on March 26th, 20██ after reports of disappearances and people claiming to have skipped days. All residents of the town were given Class A amnesiacs.

Document #5036-06: Message to 05-██
Hello, I hope everything is well. I write to you because I believe I have found a way to contain some of the more -difficult- SCPs. If we shove SCP-███ into one of these we could never have to worry about that fucker again.
-Dr. Kyle

Document #5036-09: Letter to Dr. Kyle
Dr. Kyle,
We have agreed to allow containment tests for the containment of SCP-███. If it is a success SCP-5036 will be reclassified as thaumiel.
-05 command

Experiment 0028: We put SCP-5036-7 and SCP-5036-12 into the same room. They asked each other if they wanted to play a game in unison, five seconds later they stretched into each other and disappeared, creating a shockwave powerful enough to blow the table at the wall eighteen kilometres per hour. Let’s not try that one again.
Experiment 0059: We attempted to contain SCP-███ inside of SCP-5036-6. SCP-███ just ran around talking to itself before being sucked into SCP-5036. SCP-5036 has now been reclassified as thaumiel. all staff of level 2 or lower security clearance have been removed from work on SCP-5036 and have been administered amnesiacs.
