Item #: SCP-3681

Object class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3681 is currently held in Site-76. SCP-3681 is to be kept in a glass box that is 2x2x2 feet and held 5 feet above the ground. In the containment chamber there is a table for the use of the SCP by the subjects for research purposes.

no cards originating in a deck that is not the original are allowed to be conected with SCP-3681 so it retains its original form, but this is not prohibited for instances of SCP-3681-2. Only Class-D personnel are allowed to interact with the cards to avoid the transformation of vital personnel.

Due to the memetic field of SCP-3681 researchers are to stay 5 feet or more away from SCP-3681 at all times. Instances of SCP-3682-2 are to be terminated after testing due to [REDACTED]

Description: SCP-3681 is a sentient deck of 52 playing cards,
the cards were created by Dr. Wondertainment.

if the cards are placed together, the figures can move from card to card can communicate through writing if provided with proper tools. If any form of card game is lost while using SCP-3681-1 the subject will begin to feel nauseous. After 52 minutes the subject will begin to hallucinate. After another 52 minutes paralysis will take over the subject. Between that time and the next 52 minutes the subjects skin slowly begins to turn into a substance similar to card stock. The subject will now feel an immense burning pain and melt into a liquid that then forms into an instance of SCP-3681-2, which will hold the subject in it.

It is notable that any items held by the subject during the final stage of this process will be kept and transferred with the subject into the 3681-2. SCP-3681 can communicate through three known languages: Latin, and middle English, however, subjects turned into 3681-2 retain their original language. Subjects transferred into the card appear to not age, but can be destroyed. It is to be noted that subjects in the card can still feel pain and emotion, which includes the original figures in SCP-3681. Cards that do not have figures present on them act as a place for the figures on the card to roam around. SCP-3681 seems to have a memetic field around it that makes any subjects within a 5 foot radius want to play a game of cards.

Addendum 3681.1: Discovery
SCP-3681 was discovered when missing people reports in █████, Las Vegas reached an all time high of [REDACTED], causing the SCP foundation to investigate. The foundation discovered what (initaly) seemed to be several custom playing cards scattered around the region, the number of cards discovered matched that of the missing people reports. SCP-3681 was initially discovered in 20██. The true nature of these cards was later discovered. Researchers who communicated with the cards later discovered the location of SCP-3681-1 shortly after.

The following interview was conducted by Dr.█████ during the initial investigation.

Interviewer Dr.█████
Interviewee: SCP-3681-1-12


[BEGIN LOG]

SCP-3681-1-12: (Written In Latin) Excuse me gentlemen, what is it that brings you here?

Dr.█████: Im sorry? Is that Latin? Can we get a translator.

SCP-3681-1-12: (Written In Old English) Can you understand me now?

Dr.█████: (moves closer to writing) barely, but its enough, what brings me here is not of importance, who is your creator?

SCP-3681-1-12: I shall not answer your question until you have answered mine.

Dr.█████: Fine, there has been a recent increase in missing people reports in your area of origin, and we tracked it back to you.

SCP-3681-1-12: Ah yes, they were wonderful guests, its a shame they had to go away.

Dr.█████: Go away? What happened to them.

SCP-3681-1-12: They entered our realm.

Dr.█████: Your realm? describe this realm.

SCP-3681-1-12: Well there is no need to describe it, for it is right before you!

Dr.█████: Are you saying "your realm" is inside the playing cards?

SCP-3681-1-12: Yes indeed it is, it is very wonderful here, people always enjoy their stay if they don't die from the shock of entering our realm.

Dr.█████: How many people have entered your realm? And how many died.

SCP-3681-1-12: (Pauses For A Moment) Ah, out of the ████ initial people entering our realm a mere ███ survived.

Dr.█████: Very unfortunate, now back to my question, who is your creator.

SCP-3681-1-12: Why the doctor of course!

Dr.█████: Doctor who?

SCP-3681-1-12: Ah yes the doctor, it brings me back.

Dr.█████: What doctor!

SCP-3681-1-12: He was a man of mystery and magic, Dr. Wondertainment.

Dr.█████: Finally, now then, what were you doing in [REDACTED] casino?

SCP-3681-1-12: To be honest I don't not really remember, all I remember is going to sleep one day, and waking up in the casino, although from what I heard the employees saying, I arrived outside the door to the casino with no place of origin stamped other than Dr. Wondertainment.

Dr.█████: That is all the time we have for now.

Interviewer's Note: It appears that the SCP's motive in life is merely to be entertained through its "game" although it does not seem to have any intent to harm anyone.

Addendum SCP-3681.2: Observational log
Upon providing subjects to play a game of cards with SCP-3681 the loser of the game transformed into an instance of SCP-3681-2, or in other words, "entered their realm"
The different cards have different personalities, the order of cards is as follows, 2 - 10 in numerical order, and then J, Q, K, A and the second order of cards is
hearts, diamonds, clubs, and then spades. For example, the card previously interviewed by Dr.█████ would be the king of hearts, which comes 12th in the deck of cards
in ascending order.

Observational Log 3681.OL.1 SUMMARY

Subject: SCP-3681-1

Preface: two test subjects (D-93456 and D-87456) were placed at a table and instructed to play a game of blackjack with SCP-3681. SCP-3681 seemed to enjoy the company of the subjects.

Observation Notes: D-93456 lost the game, initially nothing happened and the two subjects were allowed to leave for the time being. Later that day after around 52 minutes D-93456 reported feeling nauseous and dizzy. After another 52 minutes D-93456 began to hallucinate. The researchers noticed the symptoms seemed to occur 52 minutes apart each time. Another 52 minutes passes and D-93456 enters a state of paralysis, and from that moment to the end of the next 52 minutes the subjects skin begins to turn into a material similar to card stock. At this point the subject begins to melt into a liquid which then forms into an instance of SCP-3681-2, he was then labeled SCP-3681-2-01 for he was the first one created by the foundation. On the card a figure that appeared to be D-93456 was shown, and was able to move and write in English. An interview with SCP-3681-2-01 was begun.

Interviewer: Dr.█████
Interviewee: SCP-3681-2-01


[BEGIN LOG]

SCP-3681-2-01: Hello? Is anyone there?

Dr.█████: Don't worry, we will get you out, just answer our questions.

SCP-3681-2-01: Out? Why would I want to leave?

Dr.█████: What do you mean, why would you want to live in a card?

SCP-3681-2-01: Bruh, I can do whatever I want here, and I will never die.

Dr.█████: I see… What is it like inside the card.

SCP-3681-2-01: From the outside it appears to be very small with little space to move, but when you enter it the space to move about becomes infinite, and you can create anything you want.

Dr.█████: As a [DATA REDACTED] personnel, you are required to follow my orders, we will send professionals to remove you from the card, be patient.

Interviewer's Note: We were unable to extract that idiotic D-class from the card, we were forced to terminate him. Before termination I observed several objects appear in the background of the card, my theory is that these are the objects created by the subject of the card. It is unknown whether these objects can be interacted with.
