Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be kept in storage at site-19, no further requirements are needed.
Following incident-XXXX-1, SCP-XXXX is to be kept in a secure containment locker at Site-19 with supervision of at least one security staff. Access to SCP-XXXX requires authorization from Level 3 staff and supervision of at least two security staff. Items created by SCP-XXXX are to be placed back inside its pockets or, if unable to, stored when testing is complete.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a medium sized long coat with a brown body and light brown trims, reaching down to the calves. Inside is a tag with a symbol depicting a ghost wearing a wizard hat.
Its anomalous effects manifest upon wearing it, Whereupon a disembodied male voice will offer a deal to the wearer through telepathy. Should it be accepted, the voice will instruct the subject to reach into a pocket, wherein their desired belonging will materialize. If denied, it will behave equally to a non-anomalous coat.
Current information regarding SCP-XXXX's effect is as follows:
- Items created by SCP-XXXX are clones of the original in its current state; being able to create unlimited amounts of the same.
- SCP-XXXX may create up to 7 simultaneous items, any attempt to create more will remove the earliest instance.
- If the item is too large it will be re-sized to fit SCP-XXXX's pocket, returning to its original size upon exiting.
- Any modifications applied to the clone will affect the original item. The inverse is true as well.
- [DATA LOST]
Additionally, subjects who have accepted the deal may "switch" with SCP-XXXX at any point afterwards. SCP-XXXX's belongings may include anomalous objects or other SCP; Due to this fact personnel with access to such objects are not allowed to wear SCP-XXXX.
Discovery and Containment: On 2018/07/26 reports of a lost coat able to speak were brought to the attention of foundation staff, an undercover team was dispatched to verify and contain it.
The team members reported suspicion of a stalker following them.

INCIDENT REPORT
DATE OF OCCURRENCE: 2018/08/01
Site-19 was breached by a thaumaturgist presumably around 20 years old wielding an anomalous revolver, which was used to create temporary pathways within the site.
Security protocols were bypassed by this and security staff were unable to follow due to the path closing too quickly. Attempts to shoot the perpetrator proved ineffective, as all bullets diverted from their paths.
During the invasion multiple foundation properties were damaged and several SCP were breached by the perpetrator, forcing staff to separate and focus on re-containing and protecting important files. An on-site newly formed MTF squad was dispatched to capture the perpetrator instead.
Upon reaching SCP-XXXX the perpetrator stopped, put his revolver down, and wore it. During this moment the MTF squad were able to reach him, but he escaped before they could capture him. The MTF squad took the anomalous revolver and promptly destroyed it to prevent the perpetrator from using it.
Without his revolver the perpetrator became lost and was surrounded by staff and the MTF squad, resulting in the perpetrator being apprehended and taken to containment cell ██. Fortunately staff were able to re-contain breached SCP and recover most destroyed files through the database. [A request to classify the perpetrator as SCP-XXXX-B has been made and is currently pending approval]
An interview with the thaumaturgist has been proposed by Dr. ██████ and is currently pending approval.
Containment Class:
euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be contained within a secured house outdoors with supervision of at least two security staff. Attempts to further contain may present high risk; plans to contain SCP-XXXX effectively are in development.
SCP-XXXX-A is not allowed to be given objects below 35cm; Abstract symbols similar to SCP-XXXX-A's tattoo are to be immediately struck should they be present on an object.
Description: SCP-XXXX composes of a thaumaturge and an anomalous coat housing the soul of another, respectively dubbed SCP-XXXX-A and SCP-XXXX-B.
SCP-XXXX-B is a medium sized long coat with a brown body and light brown trims, reaching down to the calves. Inside is a tag with a symbol depicting a ghost wearing a wizard hat.
Its anomalous effects manifest upon wearing it, Whereupon a disembodied male voice will offer a deal to the wearer through telepathy. Should it be accepted, the voice will instruct the subject to reach into a pocket, wherein their desired belonging will materialize. If denied, it will behave equally to a non-anomalous coat.
Current information regarding SCP-XXXX-B's effect is as follows:
- Items created by SCP-XXXX-B are clones of the original in its current state; being able to create unlimited amounts of the same.
- SCP-XXXX-A may create up to 7 simultaneous items, any attempt to create more will remove the earliest instance.
- If the item is too large it will be re-sized to fit SCP-XXXX-B's pocket, returning to its original size upon exiting.
- Any modifications applied to the clone will affect the original item. The inverse is true as well.
- Non-clone items placed within its pockets will be brought back to their original storage area.
Additionally, subjects who have accepted the deal may "switch" with SCP-XXXX-B at any point afterwards. SCP-XXXX-B's belongings may include anomalous objects or other SCP; due to this, staff is to be cautious when interacting with it.
SCP-XXXX-A is a Caucasian male human presumed to be 20 years to 26 years old measuring 1.8 meters in height and weighing 72 kilograms. SCP-XXXX-A has an abstract tattoo in the back of its left hand. Upon contact with the same hand, objects below 35cm may become anomalous and display the same abstract image as the tattoo somewhere along it. Striking this image will free the object from its anomalous effects.
Discovery and Containment: On 2018/07/26 reports of a lost coat able to speak were brought to the attention of foundation staff, an undercover team was dispatched to verify and contain it.
The team members reported suspicion of a stalker following them.

Bonds Beyond Nature's Calling
An obscured legend tells the tale of a group of anomaly-hunting thaumaturges who once defied nature's calling for disaster, but upon their success in this fight, corpses of all who participated were left behind as nature's warning—only two were fortunate enough to survive such ordeal, a novice and his best friend.
The novice had never seen such disasters before, his heart was broken by that sight, his mind filled with naught but grief. Had it not been for his best friend, the novice would forever live in lonely fear.
As time passed the friend became increasingly weakened due to nature's curse. He attempted to keep it a secret from the novice for as long as he could, it was done so the novice wouldn't worry needlessly, but it came to a point where it was impossible to hide.
It was inevitable, no force may oppose nature unscathed; And as such the novice's friend failed to keep his life from escaping his body—so altered his coat, a special item created for fighting anomalies, and gave it as a parting gift to the novice.
"I won't let nature take your spirit; Nor anything else."
Those being his last words, embedded onto the coat. A promise to the novice, one he would keep no matter what.
As the novice took the coat and held it to his heart, he heard a familiar voice say: "I don't intend to break my promise." This voice belonged to none other than his friend. The novice, surprised by this, exclaimed "You have the weirdest ways of doing things" with tears of relief running down his face.
The coat, now holding a soul, allowed the friend to interact with whoever kept physical contact it, even being able to take control of them. Through this, he was able to keep his promise and protect the novice as long as he had the coat. As the last surviving member of the anomaly-hunting thaumaturges, the novice was finally given his own sigil—a tool to quickly but briefly create anomalous effects—on his left hand by his friend so he could create anomalous weapons with ease and protect himself in case of an emergency.
One day however the novice woke up unable to find the coat anywhere. He looked for it everywhere within his house only to notice something odd while searching for the coat—some items within his house were broken despite him not having any memories of what happened. He rushed outside attempting to find more clues as to what happened and encountered an anomalous trail.
He did not hesitate to follow the trail, convinced it would lead to the coat; On the way he noticed nobody else seemed to notice the trail, giving him even more confidence over the fact it would take him to the coat.
Once coming close to the end of the trail, he found a massive facility very well capable of covering an entire neighborhood. He knew then and there his quest would certainly take more than just courage, so he prepared himself as best he could before going in.
With a revolver capable of opening passages, a hat which would deviate fatal harm from coming his way and a plan, the novice believed he was ready to storm in and begin his rescue mission.
He broke in by using his revolver to bypass any security systems in place, but was immediately spotted by guards. Because of this the novice was forced to deviate from the path shown by the trail and used his revolver to open new pathways he could use to avoid being captured. To his surprise, this facility housed several anomalous monsters inside, and by creating new pathways he accidentally let several escape. This filled his mind with questions he could not reach the answer to. The anomalous monsters thankfully were enough to distract the guards, but also unfortunately created new, much deadlier obstacles to deal with.
Upon reuniting with the trail, he was able to head straight towards it's end with little interference. He opened a the door at the end of the trail and, to his relief, his prediction was correct. Sitting there was the coat he so desperately wanted to find, so he put down his gun, picked up the coat and put it on—only to find a mysterious team by the door destroying his revolver and forcing him to surrender. The novice however, refused to surrender and ran straight towards the door, readying himself for combat, only for an anomalous monster to break through and severely wounding them all. This had reminded him of something; Looking at the situation at hand made him realize the mistake he had made. By freeing these monsters he had created a scene much like his past, a scene he so desperately wanted to forget. Paralyzed with fear and pain, the novice had failed his mission in a way he could never expect…
"Don't fear, fight." Those words were spoken to the novice as he lost control of his body,
his consciousness pushed outside of himself and watching his body stand up; He pulled out of the coat's pockets a broken hammer, the same used by his friend during the fight against nature. He infused the hammer with anomalous effects using the sigil and struck down the monster standing before them, paralyzing it. Using the sigil he healed the team and himself, afterwards having his consciousness return to his body.
"Thank me later, get away from here first." said the same voice as before. Wielding his friend's hammer and with newfound courage the novice replies "I can't let this happen again. I need to fix this mess" as he runs towards the commotion, determined to end this issue. The voice, with a proud tone, says "Good luck, bud. Just make sure you don't destroy them"
As the novice finished dealing with the monsters, the guards attempted to apprehend him, but were stopped by the same team as before; Who told them to let him leave.
The novice took advantage of this and escaped from the facility.
"Thanks for rescuing me."
"…"
"No response?"
"Thanks for saving me…"
"No worries, just doing as promised"
"Why didn't you let me kill the monsters?"
"I believe those people are just trying the same thing as us, just in a different way."
"That doesn't answer my question…"
"if they study these things, we may be able to live in peace one day; I want that peace."
"…"
"You want it too, right?"
"…Yeah"
