SCP-XXXX "Bloody Rides"

SCP #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid Keter

Special Containment Procedures: Due to the impossibility to transport the object, the surrouding amusement park and land has been bought by the Foundation and closed. All access to the object by non personnel, especially minors, must be heavily restricted by Foundation security. Every fourteen (14) days, a contingent of Foundation guards armed with flame based weaponry shall report to the small facility built in the park, and terminate all instances of SCP-XXXX-2.

SCP-XXXX during a Festival Event

Description: SCP-XXXX-1 is the designation given to a carousel, or “merry-go-round”, located in an abandoned amusement park, near █████, ██████. The object is built of wood, and decorated.

SCP-XXXX-1 is unremarkable during the day, and exhibits anomalous behavior once every twenty-six (26) days. This is hereafter known as a Festival Event. A Festival Event usually begins between 21:00 to 22:00.

During a Festival Event, the carousel will turn itself on with no signs of exterior interference. It will also, by unknown means, send out a subconscious suggestion to children in the surrounding town of ████ to come to SCP-XXXX-1. Approximately 98.89% of children receiving this signal will immediately attempt to join SCP-XXXX-1. Some will be unable to due to physical disabilities, or parental causes. Those who are unable to join the object will cease attempts to do so after SCP-XXXX-1 has accomplished seven (7) revolutions.

Any child successful in joining SCP-XXXX-1 will climb on to one of the rides, in some type of trance state. It is believed that it begins revolutions when SCP-XXXX-1 deems that all children capable of joining it have taken place on a ride. This would classify it as sentient. See Addendum SCP-XXXX-A. Once a child has climbed on to a ride, it is impossible to remove it, kill it, or otherwise change its current state. It is equally impossible to stop movement.

After three (3) revolutions, rides will slowly gain attributes making them seem more dangerous. This happens when the observer cannot see the ride. In cases where all sides are observed, the rides will appear differently to each observer, allowing it to continue as normal. The child will invariably take hold of the pole bearing its ride at this time.

After thirteen (13) revolutions, all rides bearing a child will begin to grow larger, and gain a more “fearsome” appearance. These are now known as instances of SCP-XXXX-2. The instances begin to move autonomously, remaining on the carousel and attached to a pole.

After fifteen (15) revolutions, the instance of -2 will break free. It will remain on the carousel, while the child remains in place, grasping the pole and apparently paralysed. After examination of a tape, it is noted that only the child’s eyes are free of movement, along with the child’s larynx and other organs used for speech. Due to this, the child will scream during these phases.
The child’s flesh will gradually begin being twisted into a form resembling the instance of SCP-XXXX-2 it had ridden, without detail. During this time, instances of SCP-XXXX-2 will attempt to breach containment.

After approximately twenty-two (22) revolutions, the child will have fully taken on the form the ride previously occupying that place. The flesh of the child will be converted into lacquered wood and other materials upon sunrise.
In cases where █ Festival Events have not ended in a success and converted at least one child, the object will cease it’s cycle, and send out a continuous subconscious call to surrounding children in a radius of [REDACTED] kilometers. This will continue until a child is attracted to SCP-XXXX-1, or until 15 days have passed with no success.

After the 15 day mark, ███ instances of SCP-XXXX-1 will spontaneously animate, and be replaced by rides that seem to grow from the pole. These instances shall then attempt to destroy containment. Once the instances deem themselves successful, [DATA EXPUNGED]. This was seen in Incident SCP-XXXX-a.

Addendum SCP-XXXX-A:
Request for reclassification to Keter, due to apparent sentience of the SCP and Incident SCP-XXXX-a.
