Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is contained by a constantly monitored perimeter spanning 250 meters around the house which SCP-XXXX-1 instances inhabit. Should any SCP-XXXX-1 instance come within 100 meters of the perimeter they are to be neutralized through ranged means.
At no point should there be less than 10 SCP-XXXX-1 instances. Please report any sudden decrease or increase of SCP-XXXX-1 instance population to lead researcher Dr. D. Adams.
SCP-XXXX is to constantly be supplied with alcoholic substances through the piping of the building¹. In addition, 20 kilograms of "snacks" are to be supplied to the building by a remote controlled drone once per week. These "snacks" can range from crisps to cakes, please see addendum somethin for a complete list of currently approved "snacks".
In the event supply is cut off personnel are to remotely open 10 caches placed evenly around the building containing the aforementioned consumables and allow SCP-XXXX-1 instances to take these back to the building, these caches are to be refilled afterwards.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a party which has been going on without breaks for 79 years and has been predicted to go on indefinitely.
The party is currently occupies an entire house in placeholder, front yard and back yard included, which amounts to 69 m² of floor space. The house is experiencing severe damages due to the ongoing party such as: plumbing leaks, worn out carpets, broken doors and notably a collapsed ceiling within one of the bedrooms. The party itself seems indistinguishable from a non-anomalous college house party gone out of control. However its anomalous properties lie in a seeming desire for all partying individuals, henceforth SCP-XXXX-1, to continue the party at all costs. It is currently unknown whether this compulsion is caused by the party itself or by other instances.
SCP-XXXX-1 instances themselves have several anomalous properties. For instance they require much less substance than regular humans. It is also noted that an SCP-XXXX-1 instance only drinks alcoholic substances, it is currently unknown whether this is required physiologically or because the individual simply wishes to drink it. SCP-XXXX-1 also denies any anomalous properties of either itself or the party claiming they wish to remain at the party because "the party is only just getting started."
SCP-XXXX-1 instances have been observed to display three distinct types of behavior:

+ Party mode

This state is the primary state SCP-XXXX-1 instances find themselves in, in this state instances will behave like non-anomalous party-goers with the exception of never needing to rest. They also never appear to experience any of the adverse effects of alcohol beyond being drunk.
Examples of behavior in this state include:

• Consuming alcoholic beverages and small snacks.
• Having idle talk with other SCP-XXXX-1 instances.
• Dancing either by themselves or with others.
• Listening to music.
• Procreating with other SCP-XXXX-1 instances.

+ Scavenging mode

This state is only induced whenever an SCP-XXXX-1 instance does not have access to at least 1 liter of alcoholic beverage and a varying amount of snacks within one day. In this state instances will leave the plot to scavenge for beer and snacks from nearby sources.
Examples of behavior in this state include:

• Searching patterns being executed.
• Retrieving required substances when found.

+ Recruitment mode

This state is induced whenever an SCP-XXXX-1 instance is within 50 meters of a normal human. In this state instances will hurry over to the individual and invite them over to join the party. If the individual accepts they will be converted to an SCP-XXXX-1 instance.
If the individual were to refuse the instances will initially turn agitated and attempt to convince the individual to join. If the individual continues to refuse the invitations or acts hostile at any point during this process the instances will forcefully take the individual back to the house to convert them to an SCP-XXXX-1 instance, individuals are regularly incapacitated by instances in this process. See exploration log XXXX-L1 for details.
Examples of behavior in this state include:

• Yelling at normal humans.
• Arguing with normal humans.
• Dragging normal humans back to the house.
• Stabbing normal humans using improvised weapons.

During the conversion into an SCP-XXXX-1 instance, individuals will always progress in the same fashion. There is currently no known way to stop a conversion from completing.

+ Steps of conversion

Note: the conversion can be completed at any step of the conversion process whenever the individual joins the party through entering the house, all negative side effects will at that point disappear.

Time since conversion began in hours	Notable changes to individual facing conversion
0.0	The individual will lose social inhibitions and will gain the urge to join the party, although individuals can still easily suppress the urge at this step.
24	The individual will start openly expressing the need to party, suppression of the urge becomes more difficult.
36	The individual begins requiring less substance and will begin drinking more alcoholic beverages, the urge to join the party becomes near impossible to suppress.
48	If the individual has not joined the party yet by this point they will begin to display signs of withdrawal which will worsen over time.
60	In case the individual has not joined the party yet their mental state will have degraded sufficiently for them to regularly attempt suicide by any means available.

Note: the Foundation has not yet observed any individual in the conversion process for longer than 72 hours with all individuals either self terminating or successfully joining the party.
