*Special containment procedures:** Monitoring all calls or reports of one to six individuals dressed in red harlequins, clowns or jokers outfits in any area, walking down the streets, entering any buildings, establishments or other areas with people. If a Weissnacht Event is suspected or in affect send MTF agents in plain clothing to try and evacuate alive civilians from area and avoid any contact with SCP XXXX.

Description:
SCP XXXX are six humanoid entities, marked SCP XXXX 1-6, completely covered in similar, yet different red clothing that looks like something jesters of old would wear, faces covered by different looking white masks with glowing red eyes behind them. Each individual possesses a unique power that makes them dangerous and deadly. Every attempt of containing SCP XXXX has ended with high casualties on the side of SCP foundation or any other establishment that tried confronting SCP XXXX. We believe they were only together once and that was year 20** in Mexico, town of REDACTED (incident report XXXX - 01), after that the individuals separated and were seen around the world committing acts that ranged from violent to just random (Incident reports XXXX 02- XX).

Detailed description:

SCP XXXX-1 code name the Jester, is the only one wearing a golden crown embedded with four different color jewels on top of his red cap with four bells, its mask is also much smoother with a wide line smile, almost from ear to ear.

SCP XXXX-2 code name the Trickster, wearing similar clothing to SCP XXXX-1, but different cap with three bells, his mask has a wide smile, with teeth showing and star shaped eyes.

SCP XXXX-3 code name the Joker, his clothes are different from the previous two mostly because it has buttons in the middle, with two red-yellow lines falling from its shoulders, his mask is skull shaped with a giant grin and has a cap but no bells.

SCP XXXX-4 code name the Harlequin, hooded figure with a mask that has two lines, cut from top to bottom, one over his right eye and the other over his half smile.

SCP XXXX-5 code name the Fool, cap with one bell, his mask has five holes where his smile should be, like a bad pumpkin carving and he is physically stronger then the rest.

SCP XXXX-6 code name the Clown physically smaller then the rest, not wearing anything on its head, making it stand out, also the only one that has visible curly grey-brown hair and its mask has a red nose with a mild smile and 10 half moon shaped lines connecting to its left eye.

Incident Report XXXX -01: 30.10.20*. approx 22:15 hours in Mexico, town of REDACTED local forces were dispatched after a long and alarming sounds of battle were heard in the area in the center of town. First ones that arrived haven't reported at all what transpired, so quickly a larger force was send, approx 150 soldiers from the Mexican army. It took them a few hours to arrive and quickly another battle started, voices over the radio screamed *madre, Los Diablos Rojos, El no puede morir, Enviar ayuda* when translated means *mother, the red devils, they cant die and send help*. After the sounds of battle ceased and no one reported or returned from the town, SCP foundation was notified.

31.10.20** 04:00 hours SCP foundation personnel have arrived in the outskirts of town immediately quarantined it. From the information gathered from the remnants of the Mexican army in the field, no one has left the town as it fell to darkness. First a drone was sent in to investigate on what happened inside but the second it passed the first buildings it stopped working. So MTF squad EPSILON 6 was send in to investigate. They entered the town at approx 07:00 hours, even tho the sun already started to rise, it was still dark as even the sunlight was afraid to enter. Contact was lost immediately upon the entering the same point that the drone entered, but one member of the team returned with the drone intact. At 09:00 hours EPSILON 6 returned with reports that the town is completely dead, corpses litter the streets in all conditions, from decapitated, stabbed to death, crushed skulls, hanged by birthday streamers, cut in pieces even few looked like they committed suicide. One survivor was found, male in his 30, black hair, completely covered in blood, sitting in the center of town. In front of him a canvas 1 x 2 x 0.1 m in diameter, that had a painting of 6 individuals, dressed in red, standing in-front like posing for the camera, one of them holding a card with a joker logo drawn. The same card surviving individual had in his right hand. When he spotted the MTF squad, he immediately stood up yelled something in Spanish before collapsing dead on to the ground. The painting itself had no visible anomalous properties so it was easily removed from town and taken to site ** along with the card, but when the painting was removed, darkness that enveloped the town immediately dissipated. Under further examination of the painting and the card, it appeared that blood of multiple people from the town was used for the painting. By the looks of the town they were about to celebrate their holiday called *Day of the dead*, as the entire town was filled by skeletons, sombreros, paintings of death etc. The town numbered 500 people, although more corpses were there, not counting 150 soldiers and first res-ponders, approx 2034 dead, majority tourists that arrived at the town for the festivities.
