Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be kept in an 8 x 8 x 3-meter containment chamber. Every wall with direct access to a hallway or room where faculty commonly traverse must be made of glass no more than 3 centimeters thick and must allow sound to pass through. Two of these walls are required for optimal maintenance. This room must be within 100 meters of a faculty room to prevent starvation in the case of an external shutdown.
Do not allow SCP-XXXX access to any media created by anyone still living. A 12-inch television is to be provided with a copy of Hell in the Pacific (1968) in case of a lack of available nourishment.
All interactions with SCP-XXXX are required to be longer than 10 minutes, but no longer than 45 minutes. During these interactions, harsh language, offensive comments, and insults are to be avoided as is possible.
SCP-XXXX must be fed once every day before 5:00 PM. Feeding consists of a D class personnel being exposed to something that creates an excessive emotional response. Directly following this, the personnel will discuss the stimuli with SCP-XXXX for the allotted time. Following this interaction, those engaged in feeding are allowed a ten-minute break from scheduled responsibilities.
Description: Discovered in ██/██/██ after a doctor reported a patient that did not eat or drink for several weeks, SCP-XXXX is an African-American human man. It stands at 1.9 meters and is 27 years old as of ██/██/██, dark brown hair that has not grown during its time at site █████, blue eyes, and features described by faculty as "soft and soothing."
It is often very talkative, craving human interaction at every opportunity. When communicating, SCP-XXXX is seen to be extremely timid, but as the conversation proceeds, its actions become more tailored to the desires of those he interacts with. When left alone for more than 5 hours at a time, SCP-XXXX is seen to become agitated and desperately self-deprecating. Words of assurance are encouraged to minimalize possible threats to itself.
Despite having natural internal organs within his body, SCP-XXXX doesn't need any form of food, water, or air to survive. Instead, it sustains itself by siphoning emotions from those it interacts with. It is not entirely known how this transfer occurs or how these chemicals allow SCP-XXXX to live without natural sustenance. Those subjected to SCP-XXXX described a feeling of emotional drainage as the conversation continued, falling into an expressionless state after anywhere from 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the intensity of emotion when beginning the conversation. SCP-XXXX is shown to lose interest in a conversation soon after this state is reached.
Tests were conducted to conclude if interactions through digital or otherwise secondary means. It was discovered that this interaction can serve as short-term nourishment for SCP-XXXX, but those on the film would experience the same draining as one would in person.
Update: During a minor staff shortage, SCP-XXXX went without proper feeding for 41 hours and was shown to fall into a catatonic state. When D-class personnel attempted to feed it, they were hit with what was described as a "shock of cold electricity" draining the function in their temporal lobe. Afterward, none of the faculty expressed any emotional response. Unlike other instances, this symptom did not seem to change at all over time.
The affected personnel were observed showing curiosity towards the expressed emotion in others. They became hostile towards any emotional display after 12 days among their peers (see incident report XXXX-01), and 3 of them were terminated. Those remaining were extensively studied, discovering an intense alteration the chemistry and biology of their brains. These changes were drastic enough for them to be classed as SCP-XXXX-1. They died of dehydration soon after these experiments.
Addendum:
Evidence of Origin: several interviews with SCP-XXXX have been conducted concerning its abilities and origins, in which SCP-XXXX has been open about its knowledge on the subject
