Special containment procedure: SCP XXX currently remains contained within an isolated 10m by 5m by 10m containment room, characterised by a psychosocial hazard sign, located approximately 20 meters from any structures within site 19. No staff are permitted to enter within the containment cell, apart from specially assigned staff with surveillance footage, running 24 hours and minor checks by staff from viewing windows on the door* for faults in any machinery, each week.
Depending on the nature of the attempted tests and the dangers they may present towards the foundation, experimentation is only authorised by level 2 personnel or higher Zero testing is to be approved after the creation of this document by any level staff.
Description: SCP XXX is a golden brooch assembled by a 10cm golden animal with a horse-like head, wings and a fishtail similar to a hippocampus within Geek mythology and three ornate golden tassels measuring at a length of 6cm each attached at either ends and the centre of the item. The entire SCP is composed of solid gold and the tassels made of golden threads weaved into shape.
SCP XXX is capable of generating a far-reaching fear reflex with almost all biological beings including any being that functions biologically as in the case of SCP 173 and SCP 079*, within a 10m meter radius, besides, any being who makes eye contact with SCP XXX obtain an equivalent reaction with the distance not affecting as long as there exists eye contact. However, SCP XXX does not seem to affect single-cell organisms, such as bacteria, viruses and fungi etcetera.
Effects of SCP XXX comprises of being unable to move, minute eye and muscle spasms* an inability to talk or communicate.
Nevertheless, if the subject is mentally resilient enough
Discovery: SCP XXX first popped up on the foundation’s radar he when saved a girl from a swerving car, and got crushed in the process, however, once citizens checked on his bent arms and legs bent back into place and he was celebrated as town hero.
But he finally got the foundations attention when he guided employees from a burning office building. Near the entrance he got crushed by a burning column, several hours later the fire brigade finally got the fire under control, he came walking out of the smoking building completely unburnt. And that's when the foundation got their hands on him.
Test A - █ █/█ █/█ █ █ █
**Subject: SCP XXX interaction between SCP 999 **
Analysis: SCP 999 did not interact like most humans with the or generosity but fear and hesitation
Test B - █ █/█ █/█ █ █ █
**Subject: SCP XXX interaction with SCP 682 **
Procedure: SCP XXX was introduced to 682's holding cell and they were left until the procedure had to be cut
**Results: The first reaction was 682 where he stepped back and spoke "What are you" before he rammed XXX into the wall. XXX stood up and ran at 682 where he was swatted by 682, and this happened several times until the experiment was shut down **
Analysis: 682 has a slight fear of XXX and is irritated by XXX

Addendum
after experiencing many phenomena, the foundations finds two figures in every event at night and the MTF track the source a shrivelled man found sleeping Melinoe. The foundation with communicate. using psychics to reach them, Melinoe needs to take a human form because she needs to enter the physical realm and for that, the man needs to sacrifice his soul once but for a trade to see his daughter. this is done through the form of dreams.
Seeking Greenlights: Yes
Page Type: SCP Article
Genre: Drama, Action, Emotion
Page Layout: Standard SCP article with a few incident logs, Exploration logs, and an interview log, Neutralized.
Elevator Pitch: The deity of sleep, Melinoe, is leaching into the prime dimension. But her influence is loose, to say the least. She needs something to cling to in this reality, she needs a physical form… So she decides to create a pack with a human, Matthew Newman, through the closest link between each dimension. Rem-sleep.
Central Narrative: Catastrophic phenomena start cropping all over the globe, every night, from giants roaming Japan to entire underwater cities being built Or something smaller if it's too large… Which obviously catches the attention of the foundation, but they have little to no power to stop it, solely prevent it. The only common link between all the instances are 3 figures, a person of interchangeable gender, race, species etc (SCP XXXX a). followed by an accomplice women (b), and a third ethereal girl but her form is incomplete, phasing in and out of reality (c).
The foundation discovers that the figures come and go from Detroit. The search leading to a Matthew Newman, his body withering away and half asleep. Matthew's is mute, only signing the word 'dreams' before knocking out… However, he seemed awake enough to try to attempt communication. The foundation bringing in Kibe Izanami a highly skilled and accomplished psychic and former deer student majoring in Parapsychology, employing her as a medium through to Newman's dream.
Hook/Attention-Grabber: The interview is conducted by Izanami supplying both the perspective for her and Newman's interactions… Being homeless and mute he didn't have many options but Melinoe gave an escape through lucid dreaming. He could do and be anything he wanted, create a stack of money, fly even. Despite all this, the dreams were just trials, tests of trust. What he truly desired was to see his daughter again, trading for his soul in return…
As if on cue, everything around them starts flickering in and out of reality and now Melinoe (b) can be seen entering between the cracks of the universe and in the dream the girl (c) appears (her form was complete and solid now), Newman crying and sprinting towards her.
Here is where I have a problem whether Izanami shoots Matthew before he hugs his daughter and sealing deal preventing a CK-Class Restructuring Scenario (which is what I'm opting for, though I'm not sure how everyone will react), or finding some Ludacris way to contain them. either of which Matthew dies and Melinoe retreats to where she came… Finally Finishing with a log by Izanami. Fin.
Additional Notes: My first idea in a while.
Narrative
the characters, the setting, the plot, the conflict, and the resolution.
City, man desires to see his daughter again and he does this by making a trade with the dream
Characters of Matthew Newman, Penelope Newman, Melinoe and Kibe Izanami
Matthew Newman: An unfortunate dad that mute, that lost his entire family that's fallen
Penelope Neman: lost to an accident, spends time with the father during his periods of lucid dreams
Melinoe: The character of Melinoe… Her whole thing is that she's a trickster, a being of unlimited capabilities that does what she pleases because it's fun to her. Travelling by "the closest link between each dimension. Rem-sleep." hopping amidst dreams and dimensions in an astral form that majorly limits her influence, instead.
She provides desperate and dying people everything they've always wanted (by lucid dreaming) trading their souls for the highest highs in that person's miserable and desperate life, like a twisted sandman. Once this transaction is done the soul/body acts as a physical bridge for her, Acting in their body. She is now basically a reality bender twisting and bending the dimension to whatever she sees fit… She has no rhythm or reason just self-pleasure. And next on the chopping block is this dimension.
What are her motives? She wants to travel to another dimension because it fun and she gains the influence and she becomes a reality bender. How? by travelling between dreams and dimensions… By which

she saw mother tossing turning in her bed and her mind was busy, blood-red lines tore through her mind, thrashing in unpredictable patterns and movements. The lines cried, sound from deep within the lines. Looking through the opaque spectres now ringing around the cell, she saw money, cigarettes, she saw mother throwing plates and bowls at papa, she saw being arrested and stuck in prison, Melinoe walked along with a flaming red tiger mothers birth animal… We tracked the black hallowed ocean… we saw a girl shuttering her eyes to the screaming battle of her parents. Melinoe woke in a room
Dreams
Melinoe's form spasmed against the cold melting floor. Her pupils were disconnectedly wide, nostrils spewed buckets of blood, and her ears painted crimson red at the rim. However she did not care for her own health, but the health of her mother. Melinoe looked up to her, mother's eyes affixed upon the horrors of a burning wreckage, speechless. The heat, intense enough to induce cruel sweats and puckered lips. She inhaled the fumes of melting concrete and the fresh air; Dragging her charred orange jumpsuit across the frozen Russian vignette. Until their eyes met. Melinoe's silver-white iris' shimmered in the heat of the flames, small crows feet and a wrinkled smile juxtaposed against the lifeless colours of mother. Before she ran away.
[[12/06/2003 15:26]] Notice from Dr Reeds, incidents director of site-314
All MTF units mobilize to Ozyora, Russia, an incident has occurred in which, Ozyora state prison was sent approximately 40 metres in the air and sent crashing down. Eyewitnesses report a girl in a red coat and a fleeing inmate near the scene of the crime. Proceed with caution.
Melinoe Spitz awoke. Soreness overran her body like hives of wasps. "Hello, can you hear me?" Spitz grappled against the tiredness of her eyes. The sight of a small flashlight pointed at her left lid. Smells and touch of freshly soaked sheets, distant sounds of heartbeats on a monitor and the blinding whiteness of apparently everything in the room invaded her senses.
Three people in white coats. What were they called? Doc. Doctors! she remembered from her books of 'Jalamjapus Jobs'. The doctor holding the light retreated to the far wall where another with tied black hair took his place, thanking the other doctor for his work.
Staring, startlingly at the sheer state of the girl. Her body was malnourished to the point that her skin sagged between the bumps and divots of the bones. and her hair thinned that the scalps. According to recent health checkups, her body was doing perfectly well before the incident. But now, her body lay pitifully thin and fragile on the bed. "Hello, can you recall what your name is?"
The girl replied in a soft Russian accent. "Melinoe."
"That's great, and can you remember what day it is?"
"Thurs… Thurs,"
"Thursday?" The doctor chuckled, reassured by a weak nod.
"Hello, Melinoe, my name is Dr Newman. Do you mind if I ask what exactly happened today? All that you remember."
Melinoe faltered at the question, uncomfortable. "Mother said that I shouldn't talk to strangers,"
The doctor paused, shifting her demeanour and posture to fit the room. "Erm… Your mother is outside right now and gave us the A-ok! She said that she wanted to stay out at the moment. So maybe you can see her after you recover."
"Ok, Doctor… Mr and Mrs Dima and I, my foster parents, were going to see mother in prison. We were seeing her for just the afternoon. I think Mr and Mrs Dimas wanted me to be happy when I saw her. But I wasn't happy to see mother in prison. I was sad, I wanted to hug her, I wanted to give her a big kiss, I wanted to say I love you. But the policeman didn't want me to, I got very emotional and started crying. I remember everything around me begin to shake and spin, me getting very worried, and I think I fainted. And that's all I remember."
"You don't remember anything else?"
"No."
The doctors exchanged looks, all in understanding of what transpired this day. The solemn silence, however, was broke as a racket of sprinting and yelling rang through the corridors.
Vivian Spitz rammed through the door. Her eyes, animalistic and drunken by adrenaline. She held a syringe between her cuffed hands, like an assassin. Pupils, shrinking to pinpricks as her gaze reached Melinoe. "Mama!" The girl shouted with kiddy delight. Except, Vivan didn't hold the same sentiment, leaping towards Melinoe.
Melinoe watched her murderous mother, hesitant of what to do or say.
Dr Newman, without a second thought, tossed herself between Melinoe and her mother. As Dr Newman knew all so well, every action has an equal and opposite reaction, Newton's third law. Launching, the aggressor to the ground, Newman was paid in full by a stab wound in the chest. Vivan thrashing on the ground, the MTF ran into the doorway and finally apprehending Spitz. She spat profanities and random gibberish that no one with a tongue could possibly make sense of. Being dragged away from the scene with doctor Newman…
Right at the instance that her mother left the room Melinoe's enthusiastic grin sank impossibly low on her face. A melancholy atmosphere hugged the room in a frigid embrace. As her face sank below the sheets. The room began to stretch, as the two doctors being left behind at the door. the bed drifted far from anything in sight a black void being left between them and the door. There stood nothing but the black void as Melinoe skin begin to evaporate aways ad her body hair thinned.
Weeping tears of indescribable emotion.
"Get the reality anchors on now!"
Melinoe's eyes reddened at the thought of mother hating her, but even now it wasn't not hard to understand. As quickly it all began, she was laying in the bed and reality seemed still… Slowly drifting away.
The doctors slowly bringing in Vivan her tossing and turning at the very opportunity she had, the MTF forcing her to look at her daughter. The two locked eyes, Melinoe mouth grew a giddy grin "Mama! Mama!" her body trying its best to come in for a hug, but obviously too weak to do so. Vivan, however, did not react the same her pupils growing to a pinprick at the sight of her own daughter. "Get off of me! She going to kill us all!" Vivan writhed like a fish out of water.
Melinoe's eyes sank impossibly deep in her face, leaning to doctor Newman for any kind of reassurance. But the doctor had nothing to give. All of Melinoe's childhood enthusiasm was drained out of her body. As she watched her shrieking mother get dragged from the room" out of the room giving one last scream. The site will start morphing and warping the rooming rising in water.
Melinoe crying being dragged into her containment… Dr Newman reassuring her they spend time together. Melinoe discovers she can affect dreams can practices giving. Melinoe campaigns for better treatment, but gets rejected. Melinoe keeps tampering with dream reality. Finally, confining Dr Newman to let her go. They battle it out through the site fighting MTF.
Bystanders watched, mortified as Ozyora prison was sent burning to cinders; swallowed whole by skyscraper flames. People screamed and choked on the soot, desperately trying to evacuate the searing heat where sirens are the only comfort amidst the chaos.
Melinoe spitz struggled against fatigue's grip, barely able to cradle her crippled body on the snow. She turned to the burning prison; blinded by the gritty white of the flames. Yet, she didn't care for the fire neither the shrieking city, but the tiny silhouette in orange that stood motionless before it… "Mother." Words slipping without control. Her limbs didn't have the strength to move, to walk, to come over and give her a hug, to even stay awake.
The beeping of a heart from the monitor forced her eyes open. It was a stark white room, a colouration she knew a bit too well -clearly a little accident-prone. Two of them in blue and white made their rounds, doing separate task. In the corner sat mother! Melinoe shot up to the objection of every bone and doctor, readjusting Melinoe back to bed. Still, mother did nothing but give a dishonest smile.
"Its good to see you awake, but please, you have to lay down" the doctor placed a gentle hand, encouraging her to lie back down. Looking at the girl; she was lucky to even be alive. Her skin sunk between each divet of bone, her hair thinned and whitened near the ends.
"Do you know what your name is?"
"Melinoe… Melinoe spitz."
"That's good and =can you recall what day it is?"
"Thursday."
Minutes of basic cognitive questioning pasted, the doctor introduced herself.
"Hi Melinoe, my name is Doctor Newman, can you remember what happened today? To the best of your memory?"
"Mother said I shouldn't talk to strangers" turning to mother for her blessing, for anything, but mother sat there in her own world. Knowing helplessly, she was waiting for something that wasn't going to come.
"Well ok, doctor, if this makes me better. My foster family and I were planning on seeing mother today in prison. Just an hour or so, it was just meant to be a small thing. I did it every month, but this time was different; they put new rules, where we couldn't get close to the people anymore. That was hard; I couldn't come near, I couldn't hug her like I normally did. So we just sat there talking about lots like… um… family and er… school, well, I'm not sure. But after that, I started crying, I'm not sure why. Then I wished the prison would go away and the table was set on fire! After that, I can't remember much."
"Well thank you very much. And…"
"She's no daughter of mine…" Shadow spoke from the corner of the room lead by deafening silence. "That bitch has stole my daughter. She's taken, my daughter! Can't you see she's ain't no human she's a witch!"
Melinoe had no innocence childish remark, she had nothing but silence. Matter of fact,
"Ok Mrs Spitz, you have to relax."
Like a grieving mother, she sprinted senseless at Melinoe hatred bubbling over her tipping point, a kettle ready to explode… However, before reaching the witch she was knocked to the ground, knocked by the side. By what? by something? No, Someone. One of those surgeons tackled her to the ground, hard. The crunch of bone sliding on the ground cracked the sanitised floor. They gripped mother by the hands twisting the wrist so hard until, submission.
Melinoe Spitz wondered down the curious expanse of corridor. Thin floral wallpaper; a scent of oak timber; and small light fixtures resonated a feeling of antique hotel. The only thing that really caught her eye were beautiful crimson doors. That shone with a warm radiance - imagine a lighthouse in a sea of dull beiges'. She approached one of the cerise doors, marvelling at the craftsmanship and the golden label that held a person's name.
In recent days - only a week following the incident- : she's been arriving here in her sleep, almost like a dream scape. Even though she remembered so little of the incident, it didn't take an Einstein to figure out that the event and the dreams had to be related.
Nevertheless, she gripped with the handle, cracking it slight ajar.
Only for it to burst open, a violent eruption of hail and smoke: ramming in an oxymoronic swirl of greys in the warm oranges of the hall. Ramming Melinoe against the opposite door. All the prior dreams had mostly mundane experiences. Family unions, a stroll into the park, a day out on the beach: However even she knew that a bad dream was certain to come some time or another, and here it was. Invading her nose and ears with soot and rot, stinging particles of ash into her eyes.
Gathering the courage to even approach the door, constantly fury fighting back she approached it the
Quietude plagued the cream halls as if stillness itself was an old friend. It was her little safe space, a winding expanse of hotel rooms as far as the eyes can see, no windows or exits. Just gorgeous crimson doors that sat evenly spaced on the walls. Each door labelled with names like 'Lily Jaydn Mae, Nur Row and Mikell Bright'. Souls of the foundation she knew; people working at the foundation was all she saw for miles. Sadly, there was no time to check on these doors. It was turning daybreak.
The corridors shifted to an odd hue of blue, watching as it slowly fell away like sand to the wind.
Melinoe spitz awoke in the room, a room she has been waking up in for the past week. She missed home and mother more than she could bear. Even though the cell was, was a luxury to the slums of before. Nevertheless, she had to get ready for the upcoming checkup today.
"Hi, Dr Newman!"
"Morning Melinoe, you're looking better."
Dr Newman looked at the girl's transformation, incredible. She was a far cry from the malnourished, little girl the MTF found in the wreckage just a week prior. That change shouldn't be possible even on the stringent diet the foundation put her on. And any effects should have been nullified by the reality anchors. How strange.
"Mhm, I feel healthier too!"
"How are you adjusting to the foundation?"
"Well! But. Um, Dr Newman, when do you think I can go home?
"I'm sorry Melinoe, but I don't think it would be for a long time. But if you would like -I'll have to bend some rules a little but- I could try to arrange to get you outside and running again?"
"Oh, I would love that very much, thank you, Dr Newman."
"Oh no, it's the least I can do."
"What about mother? Will, I ever see her again?"
"I'll see what I can do. I don't mean to offend, but I just don't understand why you would want to see her again?"
"She's my mother and I promised to her that I would love her forever." she chuckled at the thought; like a cherished memory long pasted.
Yet Dr Newman knew that Melinoe's perception of her mother was obscured, and the truth was hidden behind belt scars and abuse like serpents of the past. Resulting in Melinoe unknowingly murdering her mother.
Newman bit her lip at the thought. What the hell kind of mother would treat her child that way. What the hell…
"Are you alright doctor?"
"Yes, thank you Melinoe, I'm quite alright."
After 29 minutes of physical and mental examinations. Dr Newman thanked Melinoe for her time and Melinoe thanking the doctor back with a wide grin on her face, as ever. Gently shutting the containment cell door, Dr Newman checked on her watch, watching as it strike noon. She then made her way down to the first floor, briskly and efficiently, marching down 2 staircases. Before reaching the site directors office, and knocking once.
"Ah, Dr Newman please come in and take a seat."
The doctor sat down, shifting her glasses into place
"What is there to report with the type green?"
"There is not much of note, however, she has shown accelerated recovery. gaining 10 kilos in the past week: I feel the 2 reality anchors are not sufficient to nullifying her abilities"
