Special Containment Procedures: All SCP-XXXX and related products are subject to public recall. Boxes of SCP-XXXX are to be kept solely by The Foundation in a secure containment room. Any instances of SCP-XXXX being sold online or at auction as a novelty are to be immediately acquired. All episodes of SCP-XXXX-A are currently pulled from air, and any further television broadcast or online videos are to be scanned for, and immediately terminated. No Foundation personnel (D-Class included) that have children or are considering having children are to be permitted to read or work on SCP-XXXX.
Description: SCP-XXXX are taffy-wafer candy bars that were prominently featured in the 90s era children’s tv show, “Ticky Taffy Town”, henceforth referred to as “SCP-XXXX-A”. Each package of SCP-XXXX contains two taffy-wafer sandwich bars, one of which is red and cherry-flavored, the other, blue raspberry-flavored. In ██% of cases in which subjects watch an episode of SCP-XXXX-A containing SCP-XXXX-A-5, subjects are compelled to consume the red side of the SCP-XXXX packaging and recite a key phrase from the episode, said by SCP-XXXX-A-5. If this is done while in a walk-in kitchen pantry, that subject will be able to pass through the pantry shelving. Subject will then appear on the inside of a large ornate cabinet that opens to a space that is an exact replica of the set of the home belonging to the main characters of SCP-XXXX-A, “The Squibbles”, henceforth referred to and numbered as “SCP-XXXX-A-#”. Outside the home there exists an undefined, non-Euclidean space. This space remains largely unexplored. The anomaly was brought to the attention of The Foundation by way of the UIU when the UIU became aware of an apparent correlation between children disappearances and the airing of SCP-XXXX-A.

"Hello, this is Lead Researcher, Dr. Frank Monroe, I have been given the task of identifying a possible anomaly. So far the Foundation has little to go on, but what the UIU has currently provided… UIU reports have shown a stark increase in child disappearances occurring at or around the time of airing of the show Ticky Taffy Town. Notable connections between each disappearance are as follows; One, parents of the missing children report that the last they saw the child, the child was either in, or assumed to be heading into a kitchen pantry. Two, upon searching for the missing child, when looking in the pantry an open package of Ticky-Taffy was found, always with only the blue raspberry flavor remaining. Three, the episode of Ticky Taffy Town that aired always had the appearance of a secondary character, “Mr. Hister”. And finally, all cases in which the parent was nearby upon the disappearance of the child, music of the show’s closing theme song could be heard. The UIU passed this off to Foundation hands after all criteria were unfortunately met for one of the children of a member of the UIU investigation team. I will be submitting a formal request for SCP designation to Administration henceforth."
SCP-XXXX Document File 1
Formatted Document Contents:
Below are the physical descriptions and characteristics of the 5 main “characters”, henceforth referred to as “entities”, of SCP-XXXX-A:
Mr. Squibble (SCP-XXXX-A-1):
A bipedal humanoid figure with the head of an octopus. Entity is about 3.2 meters in height and consistently wears khakis and a red sweater vest. Personality is that of a father figure as well as a patient and benevolent person, often being the one to tout the day’s lesson.
Mrs. Bobble (SCP-XXXX-A-2):
A female entity dressed as a standard clown, with blue hair, white makeup, red nose and an over-sized, multi-colored blouse and cargo pants. Entity is often portrayed as a bringer of questions to SCP-XXXX-A-1 concerning the day’s lesson or theme.
Kizzy Wink (SCP-XXXX-A-3):
A child-sized entity, about 1 meter in height that resembles a bipedal feline. Entity has humanoid hands and its head is oversized for its small body. Entity is often the perpetrator of the events that illicit the need of a daily lesson or theme. Often benign, but mischievous, entity is the perceived surrogate avatar for the young audience.
Franzipans (SCP-XXXX-A-4):
A small plump, plush-like bird entity .3 meters in length with an undersized wingspan of .3 meters as well. Entity has a hammer with a face on it, instead of a typical bird beak. Entity can fly despite its small wingspan and will often fly to hit the other entities when physical comedy is necessary. Entity seems to be a companion pet of SCP- XXXX-A-3, often annoying SCP-XXXX-A-1.
Mr. Hister (SCP-XXXX-A-5)
A 2.3 meters high, presumably male humanoid entity with a long golden-yellow hooded-robe. Entity has tentacles underneath the robe upon which SCP-XXXX-A-5 slides. Facial descriptions are hard to make out due to the effect the entity has on the show upon its entrance. However, face seems to be that of a misshapen, tumorous skull. Entity is not hostile from what SCP-XXXX-A depicts, however is severely disturbing in both appearance and speech.
SCP-XXXX Document File 2
Formatted Document Contents:
It seems all episodes of SCP-XXXX-A that contain SCP-XXXX-A-5, always start with typical hyper-colorized, extremely pleasant lighting and tone, consistent with that of children’s’ programing. The main cast of entities, SCP-XXXX-A-1, SCP-XXXX-A-2, SCP-XXXX-A-3, and SCP-XXXX-A-4 throughout the first half of the episode will go about learning whatever message or lesson is intended for the day. Teachings include tying shoes, the importance of brushing teeth, locking doors, listening to your parents, and telling the truth, et cetera. However, at the point in which SCP-XXXX-A-5 makes its appearance, the sharpness on screen becomes dulled and the color oversaturated. Contrast on the TV decreases substantially. Musical analysis of the usual upbeat background theme is transposed into a darker, minor key. The subject matter often changes quite drastically as SCP-XXXX-A-5 offers stark nihilistic messages about the reality of the world and darkness. SCP-XXXX-A-1 - 4 often deflect and try to cheer up SCP-XXXX-A-5 but never succeed, often showing signs of distress at the dark material contained in SCP-XXXX-A-5’s messages. Some of note are as follows:
- ‘To exist is such a holy endeavor, that the Gods find it impossible.’
- ‘I met God the other day, I stared at Him, and He stared back. I cried and He cried. I laughed and He laughed. When I went to embrace Him, my hands could not pass through the Mirror.’
- ‘Flesh is not the truth.’
- ‘Your parents will soon die, and so will you.’
- ‘Days have become weeks, and weeks have become moments, seconds long, decades apart. Time is ebbing, flowing, undulating as a worm through the dirt, moving towards the beak of a bird. For a long time, it has only been the ever infinite now.’
- ‘I feel nothing but the nothingness.’
- ‘You may not believe in the slaughter, but the slaughter believes in you.’
Upon departing the scene, SCP-XXXX-A-5 always remarks ‘I shall now be departing to the land of right, with the truth of red to be my might’ and enters a large dresser that is about 3 meters in height with the words “Mr. Squibbles’s Treasure Chest” written on the top. This item will be henceforth referred to as ‘SCP-XXXX-A-1-a’. SCP-XXXX-A-1-a randomly produces items that aide SCP-XXXX-A-1 in teaching the other entities about the daily lesson. The show then resumes as normal with almost none of the entities remarking on the visit of SCP-XXXX-A-5. I believe that SCP-XXXX-A-5’s closing remark may have some role to play in the disappearance of the children from the pantry.”

*D-643980 sits strapped to a chair in front of a standard 96.5cm television set in the middle of an appropriately decorated American-style living room. Security Agent Bekolv (AB) stands to the right of D-643980. Junior Researcher Tracy Klaus (TK) stands 3 meters in back in the stylized kitchen area. He is monitoring medical read outs from equipment linked to D-643980. Junior Researcher Morgan Eskew (ME) monitors everything else from behind the containment chamber’s one-way glass window viewing room, she is scanning infrared, ultra-violet and other frequency wavelengths of audio-visual data from the chamber for anomalous, cognitohazardous, or memetic activity. Ethics-Committee Consultant, Jennifer Lam (JL) sits in the back of the viewing room in a metal chair, looking half asleep. Lead Researcher Frank Monroe (FM) stands over a push-to- talk intercom and signals to begin the test. He presses the TV remote, and the show starts. *
FM: Lead Researcher, Frank Monroe commencing with test SCP-XXXX-1. We are using SCP-XXXX-A episode 03, season 01, the first appearance of Mr. Hister, SCP-XXXX-A-5.
TK: Vitals steady, everything normal.
D-643980: Fuck, what do you freaks have for me this week?
*The title card and theme song begin playing. *
D-643980: What the shit is this?!
FM: Please D-643980, just watch the show.
D-643980: My name is Dave Trenton you piece of shit.
FM: Mrs. Lam, the subject is being very uncooperative, permission to use force?
JL: Huh, oh, yeah, go ahead.
FM: Agent Beklov, if you would please assist.
AB: Copy that Sir.
*Agent Beklov uses the butt of his firearm to knock D-643980 in the right temple. *
D-643980: Ah! You mother fucker! Fine, I’ll watch the stupid fucking show!
FM: Thank you Agent Bekolv.
AB: Rodger.
*As the show progresses, D-643980 seems to watch more intently, as if being drawn to enjoy the show, indicating possible cognitohazard. *
FM: Morgan, everything looking good on the additive factor levels?
ME: All good sir, a small increase in Hume, nothing but quantum indeterminacy can’t shrug off.
D-643980: Say Doc? I assume there’s some “Doc” watching all this. Why this show?
TK: Heart rate increasing as well as perspiration.
FM: D-643980, we are investigating a potential anomaly. That’s all you need to know.
D-643980: Huh. Ok. Just, this is bringing up a lot of sad memories. My kid brother used to watch this show all the time, ya hear. Ever since he disappeared, I just wasn’t the same, probably why I did the things I did. I miss him.
*Jennifer Lam is shaken to life. Dr. Monroe, Mrs. Lam, and Researcher Eskew all pause to look at each other. *
FM: Mrs. Lam?
JL: Give me a minute.
FM: Do we proceed with this D-Class?!
JL: How the fuck wasn’t this vetted?
FM: It’s unimaginable how this detail slipped through. Morgan! Any change in Hume or hazards?
ME: Just the small amount as prior, not enough to say anything definitive.
FM: Lam! Do we proceed?
*SCP-XXXX-A-5 makes it appearance on screen. *
FM: Lam!
JL: Fuck it, proceed! I’ll take the hit if anything comes of it.
D-643980: Man, I don’t remember the show getting this dark. Jeremy… watched this shit?
FM: I would hope so, it is really the only reason you are here. You make the calls I can’t.
JL: Fuck off.
ME: Ok team, lets focus on the test.
FM: *Whispers under his breath. * How’d we miss that? Damn E-C.
*The show continues. SCP-XXXX-A-5 departs, and the show has its closing moments. Credits roll. *
D-643980: Well, that was fucken weird.
FM: D-643980 are you ready to proceed to the next part of the test?
D-643980: I mean, I don’t have a choice, do I?
FM: Not particularly. Just trying to be cordial.
D-643980: Yeah that bump to the head, real cordial.
FM: Agent Beklov, please undo torso restraints on D-643980 and lead him into testing pantry.
AB: Copy.
*Agent Beklov proceeds to un-latch the leather torso restraints on D-643980 and then leads him to the mock kitchen pantry. Researcher Klaus removes the vital monitoring equipment and attaches a mic, earpiece, receiver, and shoulder camera mount. *
D-643980: Fancy toys, this must cost a fortune.
TK: Spare no expense.
FM: Agent Beklov, please remove shackles and hand restraints. Upon removal, you are authorized to terminate D-643980 should he fail to register any command within five seconds. D-643980, do you understand?
*Agent Beklov readies his firearm by loading a round into the chamber. *
D-643980: Yeah…
AB: Copy sir.
FM: D-643980, please step into the pantry closet, turn on the lights.
D-643980: You got it.
FM: D-643980, please take from the fourth level shelf to your right the box of Tick Taffy bars.
D-643980: Oh shit! I haven’t seen these in a few years! These are like a novelty now. I always liked the raspberry; Jeremy always took the cherry…
FM: D-643980, on the back of the box you will find a phrase taped to it. Please eat a red bar, and the red bar only, and then say the phrase.
D-643980: What kind of weird ass…
FM: Five seconds D-643980. Beklov.
D-643980: Okay! Okay! Okay Jeez.
*D-643980 eats the red SCP-XXXX wafer bar and says the key phrase. *
D-643980: Flesh is not the truth.
ME: Sir, Hume levels are now rising. I think we’re in.
FM: Perfect, D-643980, please feel around each wall, report anything strange.
D-643980: Okay, umm, no, nothing… wait… what?
*Video feed from inside the pantry shows D-643980’s arm pass through the right-side shelving and disappear. From far off in the distance, the closing theme song of the SCP-XXXX-A can be heard. *
FM: D-643980, please proceed to walk through that side shelf.
D-643980: Dude? What, no!
FM: Beklov, five seconds. Four, three…
D-643980: Fuck!
*D-643980 walks through the shelving space, the theme song still playing. *
FM: Agent Beklov, please assess pantry.
AB: Pantry is solid, no abnormalities.
ME: Hume levels returning to baseline.
TK: Switching to D-Class Audio-Visual.
FM: D-643980. Come in D-643980. Can you hear me?

*D-643980’s video feed is completely black with one single stream of light splitting down the center of the initial field of view. D-643980’s audio is slightly distorted in static, however intelligible and understandable. *
D-643980: Yes, copy. I mean, fuck. Shit, where did you send me? Where am I?
*Video feed from D-643980 shows that he attempts to turn around and return but is met with blackness. *
FM: We don’t know. That’s why you are there. Move forward please.
D-643980: Well the dude with the gun aint here anymore so I aint doin shit. I’ll just stay here till y’all get me.
FM: If we get you, D-643980, we will terminate you. Just do what we say, things will be fine.
D-643980: Assholes, the lot of ya. Okay, stepping forward. Seems like I’m behind a door, like a large closet.
FM: Please exit if you can.
*D-643980 pushes open the doors and falls out on the floor. His shoulder cam spinning as he tumbles, stopping to reveal SCP-XXXX-A-1-a.*
D-643980: Jesus!
*D-643980 stands up to face the rest of the room. The closing theme of the show continues a loop in the background. The room is a complete replica of the SCP-XXXX-A set, however wherever the show’s camera normally wouldn’t show, or broadcast is filled in with just a blank white backdrop. Then the sound of a door can then be heard opening. SCP-XXXX-A-1 through SCP-XXXX-A-4 walk in, SCP-XXXX-A-4 is skipping and speaking. D-643980 dives back in and hides in SCP-XXXX-A-1-a. *
FM: D-643980, please extend the camera out so that we can see.
*D-643980 pokes the camera field of view partially out the crack of the doors. *
SCP-XXXX-A-3: What a day! We sure did learn a thing or two!
SCP-XXXX-A-4: Wouldn’t be another wonderful wacky Ticky Taffy day if we didn’t!
*SCP-XXXX-A-4 flies around the room and bumps SCP-XXXX-A-1 in the head. *
SCP-XXXX-A-1: My tentacles!
*SCP-XXXX-A-2 - 4 laugh. *
SCP-XXXX-A-1: Cut that out you two! We only have a bit longer before the town meeting!
SCP-XXXX-A-2: Oh boy! I hope someone brought some good ones!
SCP-XXXX-A-1: I’m sure they will be great like all the others. I for one am looking forward to it!
SCP-XXXX-A-3: As always! I don’t think we got any yet.
SCP-XXXX-A-2: Yes, usually we would see them by now.
*SCP-XXXX-A-4 flies toward the camera. D-643980 pulls the feedback inside, his breathing is fast, labored and in a panic. *
SCP-XXXX-A-4: Can’t forget to check! To check!
*SCP-XXXX-A-1 opens the doors and looks down at D-643980. *
SCP-XXXX-A-1: Oh, what pleasure! Hello there, little boy! Welcome to Ticky Taffy Town! I am Mr. Squibbles.
D-643980: *Screams. *
SCP-XXXX-A-3: Why is this one so loud? And so big!
SCP-XXXX-A-1: Little boy, it is alright! Mr. Squibbles doesn’t mean to cause you fright!
*D-643980 stops screaming but the camera feed shakes in terror. *
D-643980: Sir, what do you want me to do?
*Both SCP-XXXX-A-1 and Doctor Monroe reply. *
SCP-XXXX-A-1: Just have a seat and calm down, then join us for the engagement in town!
FM: Engage with entities while we form an extraction plan.
D-643980: Engage?!
*Both SCP-XXXX-A-3 and Doctor Monroe reply. *
SCP-XXXX-A-3: Ment! It’s the gathering after we all learn our lesson.
FM: We will be sending a team in shortly for extraction. Remain calm, retreat only if absolutely vital.
D-643980: Fuck, ok.
*At the utterance of the expletive word, SCP-XXXX-A-2 loses all its color and turns a glowing red.*
SCP-XXXX-A-2: What did you just say young man!
*The camera feed starts warping. Video quality drops substantially. *
D-643980: I’m sorry! I’m sorry. I was scared.
SCP-XXXX-A-1: Mrs. Bobble, do calm down, if the boy was scared. He is allowed to express himself, but, young sir, do find better language to do so. Understand? It’s not good to make Mrs. Bobble upset, less you fail his hideous test. Do you understand?
FM: D-643980, do not, in any circumstances anger the entities! It may mean the difference between life and death.
D-643980: *Replies timidly and out of fear as if to both. * Yes sir.
SCP-XXXX-A-3: What’s your name kid? Why are you so big?
FM: D-643980, I have a hunch, do not let them know you are an adult.
D-643980: My name, uh… is uhh, Davey and I have a… umm… growth disorder, my… uhh, bones, you see.
SCP-XXXX-A-1: Remarkable! Well Davey, we must be off to the town meeting! You will join us as our esteemed guest.
FM: D-643980, please proceed, we need to see the extent of the anomalous area.
D-643980: Sounds great…
*D-643980’s camera feed is led outside the front door of the domicile. D-643980 turns the camera around to show that on the front door there is an address number that reads “S01E03”. *
FM: That’s very interesting. Hey Eskew?
ME: Yes Doctor?
FM: Can you bring me the list of all the episodes of SCP-XXXX-A that feature Mr. Hister?
ME: Oh. Oh, oh! Yes! I See.
*Outside the house, the immediate surrounding area is made up of a miniature town that is only seen briefly in the opening sequence of each episode. All structures, buildings and roads are made and stylized exactly as the miniature set-pieces would be, however they are to full scale. Past what could only be seen in the immediate area in the opening sequence, the area drops off to the same vacant white backdrop as what was in the house. Scattered throughout this large expanse is other copies of the town, each with their own SCP-XXXX-A house. The other towns have no regard for placement, some even being located overhead or below in the vast whiteness. A long pathway leading from each house converges to a point in the distance. The location is that of a small-town square, with a large fountain located in the center. D-643980’s camera is whirled around as the group walks, Ethics-Committee Consultant Lam is heard speaking on the recording. *
JL: D-Class, wait. Point your shoulder up to the diagonal right, about a half turn, and then at one o’clock.
D-643980: Huh?
FM: Jen, what do you see? D-643980 please follow that request.
D-643980: Yeah, okay.
SCP-XXXX-A-2: Aww, now Dave! Don’t sound so down! Can’t be blue when you’re with this clown!
*SCP-XXXX-A-4 then flies into SCP-XXXX-A-1’s head. *
SCP-XXXX-A-1: My tentacles!
*All entities bust out laughing. D-643980 nervously chuckles to fit in.*
D-643980: Heh.
*D-643980’s camera feed pans up and to the right. *
JL: Monroe, see that?
FM: Huh?
JL: Eskew, zoom in.
*D-643980’s camera feed zooms in on one of the long roads the distance. There are exact copies of SCP-XXXX-A-1 - 4 are walking down the road. *
FM: D-643980, please turn your camera view so that we may see some other roads out there. Can you see anything?
D-643980: Uh, yeah, I can, but I gotta stay quiet.
*SCP-XXXX-A-3 turns to D-643980. *
SCP-XXXX-A-3: Don’t be quite! start a riot! You’re stuck here now, might as well try it!
FM: Good point D-643980, just try to point your camera at the other pathways in the distance.
*D-643980 raises a thumbs up into the camera feed. *
ME: Here it is Dr. Monroe.
FM: Thank you, Eskew.
JL: There! Oh. My. God. There is a child with each group on the paths, I’ve counted 3 so far.
*D-643980’s camera feed shows that small children are walking with each of the groups of SCP-XXXX-A-1 - 4. *
FM: D-643980, please if you can aim your camera at one of the entities’ homes that are in the towns floating around you.
*Camera feed from D-643980, shows him hold up a quick middle finger, before the motion of the camera is aimed at a distant entity house. *
FM: Eskew, zoom further. Can you make out the number on the door?
ME: Barely.
JL: Oh man. It reads “Sierra…Oscar…3…Echo…13”.
FM: Ok so, yes… ok, so season three, episode thirteen, is on the list of episodes featuring SCP-XXXX-A-5.
JL: How many seasons was this show on?
FM: Five.
JL: And how many episodes in each season?
ME: Twenty-seven.
JL: So exactly how many episodes are stealing children?
FM: We’ve counted thirty… umm… thirty-one episodes with Mr. Hist… umm SCP-XXXX-A-5.
JL: Jesus, with re-runs, VHS sales, and that crazy internet showing everything now… how many children? Hundreds? Thousands?
FM: I would gather.
ME: We gotta know how to properly contain this thing then!
FM: Alright, MTF it is. I’ll submit the request.
JL: You’ll need my endorsement. Which I am not willing to give.
FM: Huh?
JL: We’re aren’t about to sacrifice countless MTF ops to save some kids.
FM: Jen!
JL: What?! Frank, you and I both know the solution to this, pull the shit from the public, destroy it if ya need to, come on! You’re the “Doctor” on this! Show some brains.
FM: So, what do we do with D-643980?
JL: Fuck the D-Class.
*D-643980 whispers into his mic. *
D-643980: Hey, guys, we’re here.
*Camera feed pans up as Researcher Eskew zooms the camera back out to bring the panorama function online. All the SCP-XXXX-A-1 - 4 entities from each town have gathered in a large circular cobblestone round-about with a large central fountain. Over one hundred entities and over two hundred children can be seen. D-643980 and his respective entities are located immediately at the fountains edge with children and other entities crowding around. Most of the children are petrified quiet, some look like they haven’t slept for days or weeks, while some still have just enough strength to weep. The entities converse amongst themselves in a strange, random, gibberish-like language. As the last of the groups finally make their way to the fountain, the continual background music of the closing credits theme stops. *
All the entities in unison: I now arrive to the sea of sin, with the red of my flesh to offer him!
*From a point in the white sky, about 15 meters above the fountain, a large 3 by 2-meter mirror-like rectangle appears. It starts spinning until the blur of its motion creates a black void, out from which SCP-XXXX-A-5 emerges and floats in front of. *
Unison Mr. Hister!
*The mirror behind SCP-XXXX-A-5 slows down to a halt, its reflective surface now expelling a continuous stream of white light, permeating from the surface. From the white ether surrounding the space thousands of floating humanoid entities materialize, floating, motionless, suspended upside-down in the air. Each humanoid entity is of the appearance and size of a child. *
FM: Morgan! Focus in on SCP-XXXX-A-5.
FM: D-643980, continue to observe.
*The filtered monitors and read outs that which Researcher Eskew watches from offer no suggestion of memetic or cognitohazard. *
FM: D-643980, do not interact, unless I advise.
D-643980: *Whispering. * I fucking hate you, but… just get me out of here, okay?
FM: We will do our best.
*SCP-XXXX-A-5 speaks. Its voice resembles a hissing of a snake combined with a multitude of whispering voices. When it speaks the suspended figures twitch and shake. *
SCP-XXXX-A-5: Hello, my children. How is everyone today?
*The crowd of SCP-XXXX-A entities cheer and jump. *
SCP-XXXX-A-5: That’s so good to hear. My children, it is time to tell Mister Hister what lesson you learned today.
*SCP-XXXX-A Entities continue cheering. *
SCP-XXXX-A-5: Ennie Meanie, Minnie Moe, catcher a sinner by the toe.
*SCP-XXXX-A-5 points long slender, boney finger at one of the children opposite D-643980 on the other side of the fountain. *
SCP-XXXX-A-5: Yes, you my child. What is your name?
*The child, female, blonde hair, of four to six years of age, and is noticeably disturbed. *
SCP-XXXX-A-Child-1-?: Um… Ummmm.
SCP-XXXX-A-5: My child, do I frighten you? Don’t you remember Mister Hister?
D-643980: *Whispers into mic. * This doesn’t look good.
FM: Just observe D-643980, its all we can do for right now.
SCP-XXXX-A-Child-1-?: *Nods. * I… My name is Bethany.
SCP-XXXX-A-5: Well Bethany, why don’t you come up here and tell Mister Hister what lesson you learned today.
*One of SCP-XXXX-A-5’s many tentacles extend from beneath its yellow robe and descend to pick up the child. The child screams, as she does many other children are seen trying to walk or run away. They are each stopped by an SCP-XXXX-A entity. *
SCP-XXXX-A-5: Oh, Bethany, do not cry, have no fear. Just tell Mister Hister what he wants to hear. Did you learn your lesson today?
SCP-XXXX-A-Child-1-?: Yes.. *Sobs. * Yes, I did sir…
SCP-XXXX-A-5: And what was the lesson? Say it so all the other children can hear.
SCP-XXXX-A-Child-1-?: I… Ummm… Today I learned from Mr. Squibbles that it is umm.. important to tie your shoes in his special way, so they don’t… ummm… come lose all day.
*The voice of an SCP-XXXX-A-1 entity cheer from somewhere in the crowd. *
SCP-XXXX-A-5: Oh, Bethany, that is so good, and so smart of you. Your prize is to pass through the Mirror, into the Dreamlands!
*All SCP-XXXX-A entities cheer in unison. *#
SCP-XXXX-A Entities: The Dreamlands!
*SCP-XXXX-A-5 throws the child into the mirror behind it, the child’s cries are cut off as soon as her entire body crosses the threshold. The mirrored surface then increases in luminosity. This seems to cause more children to try to run. The SCP-XXXX-A entities again restrain those who attempt to flee.*
JL: Jesus.
SCP-XXXX-A-5: Who is next? How about you friend?
*SCP-XXXX-A-5 uses its tentacles again to acquire a young male child, with brown hair and glasses, about seven to nine years in age. *
SCP-XXXX-A-5: Hello my child. What is your name?
SCP-XXXX-A-Child-2-?: Tommy… *Sobs. * Tommy Mathis.
SCP-XXXX-A-5: Ahh Tommy! You look like such a smart boy with your glasses. Can you tell Mister Hister, did you learn your lesson today?
SCP-XXXX-A-Child-2-?: I ummm…
SCP-XXXX-A-5: Take your time Tommy.
SCP-XXXX-A-Child-2-?: I remember today you told us that you met, umm God the other day…. you…. uhh stared at him, and… he stared back. You uhhh cried and he cried too. Ummm… You laughed and he did too. You went to hug him, but your hands could not umm… pass through the… the… Mirror.’
SCP-XXXX-A-5: What a smart boy you are! So rare! So not for this world!
*SCP-XXXX-A-5 sighs, and the child it was holding vanishes. SCP-XXXX-A-5 then turns to the cowering children. *
SCP-XXXX-A-5: I do like when that happens. Who’s next? How about you?
*SCP-XXXX-A-5 snatches another child, male, black hair, of five to seven years of age. *
SCP-XXXX-A-5: And what is your name young man?
SCP-XXXX-A-Child-3-?: *Sobbing uncontrollably. * I… I… I…
SCP-XXXX-A-5: I just want to know your name little man.
SCP-XXXX-A-Child-3-?: I… I… Tyrone… Please.
SCP-XXXX-A-5: Well, Tyrone, can you tell Mister Hister what lesson you learned today?
SCP-XXXX-A-Child-3-?: I… I… didn’t pay attention… I… I don’t know!
SCP-XXXX-A-5: You didn’t learn anything Tyrone?
SCP-XXXX-A-Child-3-?: No… I…
SCP-XXXX-A-5: Well then, Tyrone, you are now going to learn your lesson.
*SCP-XXXX-A-5 holds the child over the fountain and begins to flay the child. Starting with the legs, small chucks of flesh are removed by the sharp teeth of each of the tentacles’ suction cup. The child can be seen and heard screaming. Blood and flesh drip into the fountain causing the water to turn red. As SCP-XXXX-A-5 works its way up the child’s body, it tears away at pieces of skin and flesh and tosses them into the fountain. The SCP-XXXX-A entities surrounding the fountain rush in and start to eat and devour the pieces. This leaves room for the remaining children to attempt to escape. Video feed from D-643980 shows that he too, attempts to flee. However, all around him the tentacles of SCP-XXXX-A-5 start to grab children at a much faster rate, skipping the introductions and going straight to asking each victim what lesson they learned. As each answer they all met fate of the previous children based on their responses. (See Addendum SCP-XXXX-3) *
D-643980: Fuck, fuck, fuck, what do I do?!
FM: Try to find shelter of some sort.
*Around D-643980 children are screaming and some children run off the side of the floating precipice of the town center. Their bodies immediately lifted into the air to become a part of the floating figures above SCP-XXXX-A-5. Video feed from D-643980 is pulled skyward as he screams out. As D-643980 is pulled above the fountain, dozens of children’s bodies are seen, dismembered, skinned, quartered, and partially, if not almost completely eaten. The SCP-XXXX-A entities gnaw and tear at pieces of flesh as they wade in the fountain now full of blood, bone, bile, and viscera. SCP-XXXX-A-5 turns to D-643980 as his newest victim. *
SCP-XXXX-A-5: Well, hello there, you are a mighty bigger child. No matter, pray tell, what have you learned today?
D-643980: My Name is Dave. Dave…
SCP-XXXX-A-5: And Mr. Trenton, what did you learn today?
D-643980: How do I respond?!
FM: *As he is heard flipping through hundreds of pages of episode transcripts. *: Ummm… S01E03… Umm the lesson there was, “Do not trust strangers”!
D-643980: Fuck that! I know that’s wrong… I…
SCP-XXXX-A-5: What was that my friend?
D-643980: I.. I remember, on my way here… I was told by Mr. Squibbles to “Don’t to make Mrs. Bobble upset, less you fail his hideous test.”
SCP-XXXX-A-5: Oh, my dear son, so close… as you know the consequences of your actions, as an adult, I shall give you reprieve, to exist for all stars, amongst your brothers.
D-643980: Wait. No. No. No!
*SCP-XXXX-A-5 makes an unseen injury on D-643980 and then lifts him to the sky to join the other suspended humanoid figures. Video feed from D-643980 shows that a young boy of nine to eleven years of age is suspended upside-down along with D-643980, who is also upside-down. The boy is barely recognizable save for identifying clothing. The skin and muscle of show years of decay and dehydration. *
D-643980: Jeremy! Is that you! Oh Jeremy! Oh, no! I… I’m sorry! No! Please! Please wake up! No! Jeremy! Can’t you hear me! Jeremy! Please!
*Later investigation shows the clothing belonging to that of a Jacob Trenton who was reported missing to the FBI and later UIU under strange circumstances. *
D-643980: Oh Jeremy…
FM: D-643980?
*One-minute interval. *
FM: D-643980?
*One-minute interval. *
FM: D-643980, relay life signs, or we will terminate feed!
*For three days, the feed from D-643980 can be seen, suspended, upside-down, next to the body of D-643980’s brother. A continuous stream of red fluid, presumed to be blood, flows constantly past the camera lens while D-643980, continues to scream constantly. Of note, the volume of blood passing the shoulder cam of D-643980, in the three days, is in excess of eighteen times the amount of blood found in the human body. When going to cut the feed three days later, only two words exist on record. *
FM: Sorry, Dave.

In regard to SCP-XXXX, it is to be noted that UIU Agent Mathis’s son, Thomas, was returned to his personal household kitchen pantry. Contact was made no earlier and no later than 00:00:30:000am PST, Thursday, July 1st, 1999.

Investigations into the origins of SCP-XXXX and SCP-XXXX-A revealed that SCP-XXXX and SCP-XXXX-A was a joint venture between ex Ambrose sous-chef Victor Martinez and a subsidiary of Wondertainment LLC. It seems that the funding was lacking for their vision of “a show and candy combo that could really take kids on a journey”. In order to bolster startup costs, Martinez elicited the assistance of Vivian Durant-Croÿ, CEO of DB Financial Group, a known Sarkist. It is unknown if the anomalous properties of SCP-XXXX and SCP-XXXX-A were what Martinez and Wondertainment envisioned, if they are aware at all, or if the horrific effects are solely resultant of Sarckic interference.
Further investigations into production staff and actors turned up no leads. Analysis of SCP-XXXX-A’s closing credits revealed that instead of positions and staffer names, the credits consisted of a continual growing list of names. Cross-examination into both Foundation and UIU records show that all known names of children who have been reported missing are listed on the credits. Cross-referencing of the credits against known missing children shows that only ██% of children listed are known to the Foundation and UIU.

Regarding SCP-XXXX and latter D-Class explorational logs:
Please note that under extremely expedited studies as well as the need for all future experimental and explorational details:
-If the SCP-XXXX-A-Child answers with a lesson from the aired SCP-XXXX-A episode, they are passed through the “Mirror”.
-If the SCP-XXXX-A-Child answers with a lesson from being in the extra-dimensional space, they are left to hang with the other suspended entities.
-If the SCP-XXXX-A-Child answers that they don’t remember what they learned, didn’t pay attention, didn’t learn anything, or lie (this can also mean giving lessons from an episode other than which episode the SCP-XXXX-A-Child viewed), the child is, in no discernible amount of ways, tortured, killed, and consumed.
-If the SCP-XXXX-A-Child answers with a repetition or summation of the phrase Mr. Hister says from in the episode, the child will disappear, to be transported back to the kitchen pantry from which they left.

“Jen… Umm…Consultant Lam was right. You can’t keep trying to poke the reality most of these things we live in. They find the way to get in…it… is…. well…. Us. And the only way of keeping them out is… well… we… Us… Often it’s not about how far we can probe… for our own protection… but just knowing when to call it quits. I could spend ‘X’ number of dollars and lives, sacrificed to whatever… to wherever we think or wherever I think… the ‘Mirror’ may bring us… or who ‘Mr. Hister’ might be… or the implications of a clown entity called ‘Bobble’… I could try… try to chase these down to their penultimate conclusion, sacrificing MTF, D-class and children alike. But Jen… she was right. As much guff as I give the E-C… they are still… our guiding principles in action.
