Item #: SCP-7858

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-7858 is presently kept in an 18 ft x 18 ft x 10 ft padded cell in Site-██'s B-Wing on the second floor. When entering the room, a researcher must always be accompanied by 2 other researchers and 1 Security Personnel.

Description: SCP-7858 is an anomalous humanoid figure relating to that of a white caucasian (guessed by the color of its hands) male in their adolescent teenage years (guessed by its voice). The anomaly fashions a black hoodie with the phrase "Hoc est quod custos vult" printed in small grey text, black sweatpants, and Adidas-marked shoes, commonly refusing any other type of clothing offered by individuals it has does not view as good friends.

The anomaly's face is covered by a pitch-black mask, marked SCP-7858-1 which seems to be untouchable by other humanoids or anomalous objects contained alongside SCP-7858 in Site-██. When a D-Class, researcher, security personnel, or SCP Class Object makes contact with SCP-7858-1, whatever was used to touch it will go through SCP-7858-1 as if it was a portal until pulled out of the anomaly.

SCP-7858 is usually reluctant to allow other figures to touch SCP-7858-1 but can be bribed with a bottle of Ranch (see Ranch brands testing), which seems to be a favorite meal of the anomalous object. When intaking substances, it does not remove its mask and instead intakes the liquid or solid substance through SCP-7858-1.

Addendum: SCP-7858 is deemed to be friendly based on word from the staff that speaks to it. SCP-7858 is allowed to roam freely throughout the second floor of Site-██ after a test is conducted on it, allowing it to remain happy in its environment. SCP-7858 has been reported to continuously ask to remove the padding of his containment but is met with the same answer being no.

Mask Properties
SCP-7858-1 is a pitch-black face-covering mask that acts as a portal mixed with a black hole. The anomaly has a shape but acts as if it is not a solid object. Any item that is not connected to anything before putting it into SCP-7858-1 will be forever lost wherever the mask takes it. One particular D-Class stated, "When I threw a dart at its face, I could see it go right into the darkness. It didn't even touch him, and I could see it getting smaller and smaller in the distance of that thing on its face."

SCP-7858-1 is able to fit SCP-7858's face structure perfectly as if it was made to fit it. When testing on altering the structure of SCP-7858's face, SCP-7858-1 stretches along with SCP-7858's facial structure to fit as if it was connected to its face, while SCP-7858-1 is removable.

While no other humanoid or SCP object is able to feel SCP-7858-1 without whatever they use to touch it going through, SCP-7858 seems to be able to feel the mask at will without its hand going through. SCP-7858 is able to remove SCP-7858-1 from its face but chooses not to, complaining about "him" seeing it. Researchers have studied that when referring to "him", SCP-7858 seems to describe the figure as an "old man with unlimited power", assumed to be SCP-343. When asked if it is referring to God, SCP-7858's response is the same statement: "I'm not sure."

Ranch Brands
SCP-7858 favors ranch as its primary meal when it is around. The testing of different ranch brands allowed researchers to discover what its favorite brand of the ranch was. Hidden Valley ranch seems to be the favorite out of the 20 brought in to taste, while Kraft ranch was despised and thrown across the room.

Side Note: SCP-7858 seems to enjoy drinking Hidden Valley ranch from the bottle, keeping a note for when SCP-7858 is bothered or in distress

SCP-343 Meeting

December 17, 2016, 0730 Eastern Standard Time
███████: "Lead Researcher ███████ documenting a meeting between SCP-7858 and SCP-343. SCP-7858, please state you are present for the audio."

SCP-7858: "Present."

███████: "Excellent. Mr. ███, could you please tell SCP-343 to enter?"

Silence for 2 minutes 37 seconds

███████: "Welcome, SCP-343. Please, take a seat."

SCP-343: "Thank you, sir."

Silence for 28 seconds

███████: "SCP-7858, this is SCP-343, if you have not heard. We arranged a meeting between you two to clear the possible air if any exists between you two."

SCP-343 reaches his hand out to shake. SCP-7858 shakes his head lightly. SCP-343 retracts his hand

SCP-343: "Are you alright, dear boy?"

SCP-7858: "Yes, sir."

███████: "I will leave the room with the recording to allow you two to speak privately."

Lead Researcher ███████ exits the room, leaving the recording machine hidden.

SCP-7858: "Are-are you him..?"

SCP-343: "It depends on how you mean it. Why must you hide your face?"

SCP-7858: "He will see it."

SCP-343: "Who is this 'he' you speak of?"

SCP-7858: "I'm not sure."

SCP-343: "Then how are you certain 'he' will see it?"

SCP-7858: "He sees everything. He made everything."

SCP-343: "Are you afraid of me seeing your face?"

SCP-7858: "Are you him?"

SCP-343: "In a way, I suppose. I created all, I see all, I know all."

SCP-7858 inches its chair back slightly.

SCP-343: "There is no need to be afraid of me, child. I do not judge a person on looks."

SCP-7858: "He will."

A squishing sound is heard, barriers forming over the window and cameras in the room.

SCP-343: "No one will see. Let me see."

Silence for 1 minute 27 seconds.

The barriers are removed, allowing the room to be seen. SCP-343 stands from his seat and leaves the containment chamber.

Lead Researcher ███████ enters through the door.

███████: "I trust everything went well between you two?"

SCP-7858: "He saw."

███████: "Was it really him?"

SCP-7858: "I'm not sure."

Recording end.
