Item #: SCP
Object Class: Safe Terminated
SCP Warnings: Perception Altering; Possessive.
Special Containment Procedures:
SCP is to be contained in a six meter by six meter by five meter cell with one enterence guarded by no less than one security detail member. The cell containing SCP is to be sound-proofed to ensure no sounds above 0.1 db can be detected from outside this cell. No non-anomalous pianos are to have parts transferred from SCP unless required by testing - all affected pianos are to be destroyed after testing. SCP-1 is to be housed in a standard detainment cell and be prevented access from SCP unless required by testing. SCP-1's cell may be sound-proofed at the discretion of the security detail commander assigned to SCP. Any unfavorable behaviors exhibited by SCP-1 shall be met with the threat of permanent restriction of SCP-1 from SCP. SCP-1 shall be restrained during handling to prevent harm to site staff and/or security. Any D-class personnel exposed to SCP's anomalous properties are to be terminated after testing. No special actions are required during a possible containment breach. SCP may be destroyed if required for site security.
Physical Description:
SCP presents as a 1996 Yamaha upright piano and stool with hard-wood finish. No features of SCP, internal nor external, deviate from a non-anomalous model of the same brand, model, and year.
SCP-1 presents as a 63 year old man of mixed Vietnamese and Scottish decent, standing 165cm tall, weighing 70±5kg, featuring black hair and brown eyes. SCP-1 is believed to be a professional pianist previously known as Ben █████.
Behavioral Analysis:
SCP's physical presentation does not present any anomalous properties. SCP can be damaged through standard means, its internal and external structure can be dismantled and replaced, and its physical presentation can deteriorate through weathering and oxidation.
SCP's anomalous properties present as follows:
- Non-anomalous pianos will present behaviors identical to SCP when parts from SCP are installed, collectively be referred to as SCP-2. It is speculated that [REDACTED]. Any anomalous properties presented by an affected piano are negated after total destruction of the piano in question - this has not been tested on SCP. In addition, any damage to SCP or an affected piano that would render a non-anomalous piano inoperable will cause the anomalous piano in question to become inoperable.
- SCP's tone is notably grating and cacophonous to those not operating SCP, even when internal structures such as strings and hammers are replaced and tuned and SCP is being operated by an experienced pianist. This holds true for recordings of SCP presented to non-operators.
- An operator of SCP, referred to as the Primary Victim (PV), report no abnormal sonic properties. PVs with experience in the operation of a piano frequently comment on the exceptional sonic quality of SCP. This holds true for recordings of SCP presented to PVs.
- PVs report the inexplicable ability to operate SCP and perform any musical composition from memory that a PV in question has encountered before operating SCP. Analysis of the hand movements of a PV show no correlation with a composition a PV is reporting to perform, with the exception of PVs with experience in the operation of a piano. When directed to perform an original composition, PVs decline, citing the lack of a need to play an original composition, even when threatened with termination.
- PVs will report any musical composition not performed on SCP will have grating and cacophonous properties, and such exposure will often irritate PVs. This holds true for recordings presented to PVs.
- PVs show euphoria during the operation of PV and up to 48 hours after ceasing operation. However, after 48 hours, PVs will display behaviors and symptoms similar to diamorphine withdrawals. These two states will be referred to as the euphoria state (S1) and the withdrawal state (S2). Presentation of recordings of SCP to a PV will not cause a switch from S2 to S1.
- PVs in S1 will frequently attempt to persuade non-operators to perform on SCP. It is speculated that [REDACTED], due to PVs using knowledge of a non-operator that should otherwise be unknown to a PV in question and mannerisms of speech that are consistent between all PVs when in S1.
- PVs in S2 will employ any means they deem likely to allow them to operate SCP. This includes threats of harm to themselves or others, actual harm to themselves or others, deceit, and persuasion. If a PV believes a certain action will prevent access to SCP, they will avoid said behavior at all costs.
- If a PV believes any damage may occur to SCP, the PV in question will employ any means necessary to protect SCP, to include causing the PV to be less likely to operate SCP. PVs will risk termination to protect SCP.
- PVs in S2 are noticeably more lucid to their circumstance than PVs in S1. PVs in S2 will express regret towards operation of SCP, recognize the effects of SCP on themselves, but will never express the intention of deviating from behaviors detailed previously. It is believed that after 48 hours, [REDACTED].
Notable Event Reports:
SCP-E-01: First Encounter
Date of Incident: Aug-██-20██
Cause of Incident: Multiple reports of children in the ████████ subdivision of Cold Spring, New York, US engaging in psychologically abnormal behavior.
Incident Report:
At approximately 1700 hours, a Foundation Seeker Agent was alerted to multiple reports of children engaging in physical altercations and other behaviors similar to drug-seeking behaviors in an attempt to gain access to what is now known as SCP. Upon investigation, the Seeker Agent discovered multiple psychological diagnoses ranging from Oppositional Defiant Disorder to Substance Abuse Disorder. Reports by the Seeker Agent lead Foundation Researchers to label SCP as a likely anomalous object. Recovery orders were delivered to a local Recovery Team at 0100 hours, Aug-██-20██.
Resolution:
SCP and a human subject, now known as SCP-1, were detained/recovered after a minor physical altercation at 0145 hours. All children suspected to be PVs of SCP were recovered, given class IV amnestics and processed through Life Reconstruction. Any family members of PVs were given class III amnestics and processed through Life Reconstruction.

It is speculated that SCP [REDACTED], leading to [REDACTED] of site ██ staff and personnel. SCP was terminated and containment was reestablished. SCP-01 was also terminated. 49 site staff and personnel terminated during reestablishment of containment. No additional SCPs breached containment during this event.
Item #: SCP-XXXX (Referred to as SCP prior to publication)
Object Class: Euclid Keter as a result of incident SCP-I-93
SCP Warnings: Persuasive/Suggestive, Perception Altering, Aggressive, Sentient, Mobile
Special Containment Procedures:
SCP is to be contained in its current location at Site ███ in the ███████ Forest in ██████████, Germany. SCP must be contained in a solid one meter thick reinforced concrete cell, including floor and ceiling, with walls that are at least eight meters away from the walls of SCP. Within its cell, SCP is to be surrounded on all sides flush with its surface, except the doorway, by bullet proof glass sufficiently thick enough to stop standard NATO 5.56mm rounds and small explosions similar to those produced by M67 hand grenades.
SCP is to be monitored by no less than four D-Class personnel armed with NATO 5.56mm standard personal assault rifles and bullet proof vests - additional cover against cannon-like fire is to be provided. Site Security is to maintain heavy firearms, incendiary weapons, and explosive weapons. Any instances of SCP-2 that emerge from SCP are to be destroyed and any recovered debris of SCP-2 are to be turned over to researchers. Unless otherwise specified by the Site Supervisor, any instances of SCP-1 are also to be destroyed and any debris recovered are to be turned over to researchers.
Site ███ is to be patrolled by Site Security to prevent civilian contact with SCP. Any questions into the existence of Site ███ is to be answered with the cover story of a logging company patrolling for Eco-Terrorist attacks. Misinformation campaigns are to be launched periodically, at the discretion of the Site Supervisor, to reinforce this cover story.
No less than two children under the age of thirteen are to be located at Site ███ within ten meters of SCP at all times, and are prohibited from interaction with SCP or any sub-instances, unless authorized by the Site Supervisor. Should a child at Site ███ be terminated or become aged over twelve years, the child is to be given class A amnesiacs, given memory therapy, and released with a constructed identity and accompanying paperwork in line with the identity established during memory therapy in the latter case. Replacement children are to be procured under the direction and discretion of the Site Supervisor.
Should Class-D personnel or other personnel observe increased volumes of smoke emitting from SCP's chimney stack, the Site Security commander and Site Supervisor are to be immediately notified. Should SCP begin a relocation event, the Site Supervisor and SCP Recovery Team Charlie Delta Yankee "Sugar Bombs" are to be immediately notified.
Description:
SCP is a gingerbread house, dimensions eight meters by ten meters by four meters (NOTE: these dimensions have been shown to change after relocation events), constructed of gingerbread walls, candy cane framing, hard candy windows, and frosting reinforcement. SCP is decorated with spiced gum drops, peppermints of diameter 0.5 meters, and frosting lettering such as "FREE CANDY" or "ALL KIDS WELCOME." Constituent parts of SCP display no anomalous properties: for example, the gingerbread walls of SCP have a chemical make-up consistent with gingerbread recipes, and consumption of said gingerbread walls pose no medical threat, except during a relocation event. Constituent parts are in no way resistant to damage that would damage normal gingerbread, candy cane, or other compounds/recipes, although it is unknown how SCP remains structurally sound.
Anomalous properties begin when a child victim, henceforth referred to as SCP-V1, under the age of thirteen approaches SCP within ten meters. When SCP-V1 enters within a ten meter diameter of SCP, a single instance of SCP-1 will appear. The form of SCP-1 varies depending on SCP-V1 - SCP-1 usually manifests itself as a deceased elderly relative, though in other cases has taken the form of magical animals, friends, or an authority figure in SCP-V1's life. SCP-1 will then coax SCP-V1 to enter SCP, and is almost always successful, using a combination of its persuasive form and interpersonal communication skills. Should SCP-V1 enter SCP with SCP-1, the door to SCP will close - it is unknown what happens to SCP-V1.
Anomalous properties of SCP change if a second victim, henceforth referred to as SCP-V2, approach SCP with a SCP-V1 within ten meters. An instance of SCP-1 will appear, but will tailor its form to appeal to both SCP-V1 and SCP-V2. SCP-1 will then coax SCP-V2 to allow SCP-V1 to enter SCP alone with SCP-1 - in most cases, SCP-1 is successful. SCP-1 will then persuade SCP-V2 to leave the area of SCP. Should SCP-V2 protest, prevent SCP-V1 from entering alone, or attempt to retrieve SCP-V1 from SCP, SCP will become aggressive. Under these circumstances, SCP-1 will attempt to enter and close the door to SCP before SCP becomes aggressive, however SCP-1 has been shown in rare cases to become aggressive. When aggressive, SCP will then spawn instances of SCP-2, which can take many forms: gingerbread men armed with candy cane clubs, swords, or firearms, gingerbread avian creatures, similar to hawks though between three and five times the normal size of hawks, hard candy spikes or balls launched from an unknown source within SCP, or a set of spiced gum drop tentacles originating within SCP. Instances of SCP-2 will attempt to kill SCP-V2 and continue to coax SCP-V1 into entering SCP with SCP-1.
SCP displays perception altering effects under these conditions: children under the age of thirteen report that instances of SCP-2 often say phrases such as, "[SCP-1] has candy for you!" or, "Don't you miss [SCP-1]?" However, those over the age of thirteen report instances of SCP-2 growl, shriek, or make no noises as they attempt to attack SCP-V2. Additionally, while SCP-V2 maintains accurate perception of their immanent or on-going attack, SCP-V1 reports that SCP-2 are simply feeding SCP-V2 candy until they become unconscious.
Instances of SCP-2, unlike SCP or SCP-1, display anomalous properties: although they are often constructed of gingerbread, hard candy, or spiced gum drops, instances of SCP-2 are more resilient to damage than what their make-up would suggest. Studies of SCP-2 show that they often have a hardness and resistance to damage similar to that of wood, Kevlar, or hardened steel, however they remain persistently vulnerable to heat-based damage, and have not shown resistance to damage beyond that inflicted by rounds such as 50 caliber machine guns or small explosives.
SCP may initiate relocation events in response to satiation, damage to its outer walls/structure that exposes the interior of SCP, or the lack of presence of SCP-V1. In these cases, SCP will dissolve itself with a combination of sulfuric and hydrochloric acid, reducing itself to a puddle of organic compounds. SCP, should it relocate as a failure to identify an instance of SCP-V1, will reappear within ████ kilometers of its original position within seconds of dissolving. Should such not be the case, SCP may take upwards of █ months to relocate.
Notable Incident Reports:
SCP-I-01: CONTAINMENT BREACH
Date of Incident: Aug-██-20██
Cause of Incident: Lack of presence of SCP-V1
Incident Report:
At approximately 0300 hours, SCP initiated a relocation event. SCP dissolved itself and was later found by SCP Retrieval Team █████████████ at █████████, Czeck Republic. Due to the lack of understanding into how SCP operates, it is advised that a dedicated retrieval and security force be tasked to Site ███.
Resolution: SCP relocated, Site ███ reestablish at █████████, no less than two children at Site ███ designated to be within ten meters of SCP at all times, dedicated security force established, and dedicated retrieval team, Retrieval team CDY "Sugar Bombs," established.
Additional Information:
Remains of SCP were chemically analyzed and revealed to contain compounds of organic matter consistent with normal gingerbread, candy cane, peppermint, hard candy, and icing recipes.

SCP-I-02: First Contact with SCP-2
Date of Incident: Oct-██-20██
Cause of Incident: Unknown
Incident Report:
Three instances of SCP-2 taking the form of gingerbread men standing three meters tall and wielding candy cane club emerged from SCP. After being observed for █, all instances of SCP-2 were destroyed and any debris of SCP-2 were turned over to researchers for analysis.
Resolution: SCP re-secured; no danger of containment breach established.
Additional Information:
Debris of instances of SCP-2 were chemically analyzed but yielded no anomalous results. Stress tests of SCP-2 debris did yield anomalous results: gingerbread retrieved from instances of SCP-2 displayed a hardness similar to cedar wood.

SCP-I-05: Possible Containment Breach
Date of Incident: Nov-██-20██
Cause of Incident: Unknown
Incident Report:
Six instances of SCP-2, four taking the form of gingerbread men standing three meters tall and wielding candy cane swords, and two taking the form of avian animals similar to hawks though much larger in size, emerged from SCP. All instances of SCP-2 were immediately terminated - it is suggested by Ssg Dara ████ (Site Security Squad C Leader) that the containment cell of SCP be entirely enclosed to prevent avian or subterranean instances of SCP-2 from breaching containment.
Resolution: SCP re-secured; danger of containment breach established
Additional Information:
Debris of instances of SCP-2 were chemically analyzed but yielded no additional information. ADDENDUM by Site Supervisor: request for complete enclosure of SCP on hold.

Item #: SCP-XXXX (Author's Note: SCP will be used as a temporary placeholder)
Object Class: Euclid
Object Warnings:
Humanoid; Sentient; Omniscient; Self Regenerative; Aggressive; Destructive.
Special Containment Procedures:
[RESTRICTED - L1] Outside of testing, no attempts should be made to insult, immobilize, physically contain, tranquilize, incapacitate, harm, assault, or neutralize SCP, even during a containment breach. The only effective form of containment known is containment of SCP's primary victim (SCP-01) who SCP will refer to as "True Friend," [RESTRICTED - L2].
[RESTRICTED - L1]
Should SCP become aggressive ([RESTRICTED - L1]), SCP is to be allowed by all personnel to seek its current target without obstruction and be allowed to neutralize said target.
[RESTRICTED - L1]
Physical Description:
SCP presents as a white male, standing 160cm tall, and weighing 78kg ± 5kg. It physically features: approximately 10cm long black hair with greased/greasy hair; severe facial acne; black, thick, circle-framed spectacles with painter's tape around the center bridge; white, long sleeved, button-up collard oxford shirt with a pocket-protecting insert; black tie; plaid pants supported by a black belt and bright red suspenders; black nylon socks; and brown leather business casual shoes.
[LOGIN - L1]
Special Containment Procedures:
SCP is to be monitored in Wing █ at Site ██ by Security Platoon Beta-13, codename "Morality." Morality members will monitor SCP in accordance with platoon-level Standard Operating Procedures (SoPs), as well as any subordinate SoPs relating to the member in question, and superior SoPs up to and including the level of [RESTRICTED - L4] which are in the chain-of-command of any member in question.
Members are to be tested daily on ten randomly selected SoPs and regulations, up-to but not including Foundation, Morality, or SCP specific SoPs. Incorrect answers in response to any question will result in the reassignment of the member in question and administration of class III amnesiacs. All members will be psychologically evaluated once a week during off-weeks, every other day during on-weeks, and anytime a member presents problematic behavior. Failure of any psychological evaluation will result in the immediate reassignment of the member in question and administration of class III amnesiacs.
During an on-week, members are expected to engage in interpersonal communication and activities with SCP. Members are to be aware of changes in SCP's mood and react accordingly. Activities with SCP are to be limited to SCP's interests, with the exception of sleeping cycles entered by SCP. SCP's sleep cycles are to never be interrupted. Meal breaks are not allowed, however members may eat during communication/activities with SCP so long as SCP does not show unfavorable reactions.
Should SCP become aggressive (ranging anywhere from AS0 to [RESTRICTED - L3]), SCP is to be allowed by all personnel to seek its current target without obstruction and be allowed to neutralize said target.
No physical obstructions shall be present in Wing █. All spaces are to be connected contiguously within Wing █, and no barriers outside of an unlocked door to the rest of Site ██ and an unlocked door to the outside perimeter of Site ██ from Wing █ are to be erected. Sheets of any size or doorways measuring no less than [RESTRICTED - L3] are allowed within Wing █.
No attempts should be made to alter any level of SoP with the primary intent of avoiding SCP's behavior. Any and all changes to any platoon or subordinate SoPs must first be approved by Platoon Morality Commander ████████, or Morality Lieutenant Commanders █████ or █████. No structural changes may be made to Wing █ by any Foundation member below the clearance of [RESTRICTED - L4]
No attempts should be made to monitor or witness neutralization of any SCP victim(s).
Object Behavior:
[RESTRICTED - L2] SCP shows interest in science, technology, mathematics, animation produced in Japan or South Korea, and trading card games. SCP is noticeably gullible and easily influenced.
SCP can enter Activation States (AS) depending on specific triggers. Below is an analysis of AS states:
- ASNULL: SCP is docile.
- AS0: SCP becomes agitated by various actions of a third party. SCP will assault the victim in question to varying degrees.
- AS1: SCP becomes enraged by attempts to immobilize, incapacitate, physically contain, assault, or neutralize SCP. SCP will attempt to neutralize the perpetrating victim in public.
- AS2: SCP becomes enraged by insults. SCP will seek the perpetrating victim and neutralize said target and any victims in a [REDACTED] radius in public.
- AS3: SCP becomes enraged by any member of Morality infringing any relevant SoPs. SCP will attempt to neutralize the perpetrating victim in private. [RESTRICTED - L2]
- [RESTRICTED - L2]
[RESTRICTED - L2]
.
[LOGIN - L2]
Special Containment Procedures:
The only effective form of containment known is containment of SCP's primary victim (SCP-01) who SCP will refer to as "True Friend," who is currently Lieutenant Morality Commander █████.
Object Behavior:
SCP is aggressive outside of ASNULL. Any attempts to neutralize SCP result in spontaneous regeneration of SCP and quick neutralization of any perpetrating victims. No methods of permanent neutralization of SCP are known to The Foundation. Understanding of SCP and its psychology is paramount to containment of SCP.
[RESTRICTED - L3]
Below is an analysis of AS states:
- AS3: SCP becomes enraged by any member of Morality infringing any relevant SoPs. SCP will attempt to neutralize the perpetrating victim in private. SCP will then inform SCP-01 of said infringement.
- AS4: SCP is enraged by SCP-01's infringement of any relevant SoPs. SCP will attempt to neutralize SCP-01 and [RESTRICTED - L3] in private. SCP will then [RESTRICTED - L3]
- [RESTRICTED - L4]
SCP will remain within [REDACTED] of SCP-01. SCP-01 is to maintain this minimum distance at all times.
SCP will attempt neutralization in either of two settings: public or private. AS0 through AS2 will cause SCP to neutralize its target(s) through public, or, blunt-force trauma and/or strangulation. However, in AS3 through [RESTRICTED - L3], SCP will employ various torture techniques prior to neutralization. Notable instances include [RESTRICTED - L3]. Any members outside of those with L2 clearance who witness any private neutralization are to be reassigned and given class III amnesiacs.
In the event of obstruction to a target(s) from SCP, SCP will destroy any material in pursuit of its target(s), to include materials such as [REDACTED]. Failure to allow a contiguous path from SCP to SCP's target may result in further damage to Foundation structures, personnel, or [RESTRICTED - L3].
.
[LOGIN - L3]
Special Containment Procedures:
Should SCP become aggressive (ranging anywhere from AS0 to AS5), SCP is to be allowed by all personnel to seek its current target without obstruction and be allowed to neutralize said target.
Sheets of any size or doorways measuring no less than 80cm are allowed within Wing █.
Object Behavior:
Below is an analysis of AS states:
- AS4: SCP is enraged by SCP-01's infringement of any relevant SoPs. SCP will attempt to neutralize SCP-01 and neutralize all subordinates of SCP-01 in private. SCP will then select a new victim (SCP-01) who is the direct supervisor of the previous SCP-01.
- [RESTRICTED - L4]
In AS3 through [RESTRICTED - L4], SCP will employ various torture techniques prior to neutralization. Notable instances include multiple intentionally non-lethal puncture wounds the size of a standard ballpoint pen, breaking of the victims's(s') neck and spine to meet the victim's(s') belt line, and one instance of drowning despite the absence of significant levels of water within the vicinity.
