Item #: 5692
Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5692 is to be kept in a one-room cell, measuring 5 meters in length, 5 meters in width, and 5 meters in height. It is to be provided with one (1) bed, one (1) desk with a desktop computer, items it brought with it from the place of its discovery, and food and water as requested.

SCP-5692 is currently kept in Site-17.

Description: SCP-5692 appears to be an adolescent caucasian female. It has been shown to act immaturely and as if it has a low intelligence; it claims neither of which are its true nature and it does so to make people laugh. It seems to be friendly and enjoys bringing other people joy. It owns a box of many almost identical toys (aside from their color), commonly referred to as “worm on a string” (henceforth referred to as SCP-5692-1).

It has requested to be referred to as “Ash” and has told personnel it is a transgender male; personnel assigned to SCP-5692 should always refer to the entity as a male and help it believe it is to keep it in a “good” mood. Despite this, personnel are advised to not push gender roles onto it; it believes they should not exist and they are, in its words, “icky”.

The anomalous effects of SCP-5692 became apparent right after containment. Upon observation, SCP-5692 started playing with the instances of SCP-5692-1. Upon putting them on the ground, they started moving on their own, similarly to a snake. The instances were then reported to do chores around the room, such as picking up clothes, making bed, and cleaning up his desk. How they are able to do this is unknown. Other toys have been tested but none have produced this output. (See Experiment 5692-A through Experiment 5692-D) Its anomalous properties only occur when the entity is in a “positive” mood, such as joy, excitement, and what it refers to as “hyper”; when it feels “negative” emotions, such as fear, sadness, and anger, all instances of 5692-1 stop where they are and act as normal worm on a string toys. Because of this, SCP-5692's requests for the items it has been provided with were approved to allow the phenomenon to continue.

Majority of SCP-5692’s diet consists of Pringles brand chips, PopTarts brand toaster tarts, and ramen. It has requested other foods, however these are the most common. The entity's daily activities consist of talking to its friends on the computer application “Discord”, playing with instances of 5692-1, taking care of its birds, listening to music, and scrolling through social media1. It has only been recorded listening to music using the vocal synthesis program “VOCALOID”; it refuses to listen to other genres. Despite this, there have been a few instances where it has listened to other types of music; it claims these are “exceptions”.

SCP-5692 frequently talks about his boyfriend named █████ (henceforth referred to as SCP-5692-2). SCP-5692 was questioned about the whereabouts of SCP-5692-2. It told personnel SCP-5692-2 lives in ██████, Louisiana. Despite Foundation efforts, the location of SCP-5692-2 has never been found.

SCP-5692 frequently talks to SCP-5692-2 through Discord on a provided desktop computer for hours at a time. Almost daily, SCP-5692 has, or attempted to, [REDACTED] with SCP-5692-2. Personnel have not been able to communicate with SCP-5692-2 as of writing.

A psychological evaluation has shown SCP-5692 suffers from borderline personality disorder (BPD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), gender dysphoria, and possibly Asperger’s syndrome. SCP-5692 asked to know the results of said evaluation; upon being informed of this, it responded, “I know. I was diagnosed with ADHD before, my past 2 therapists, my psychiatrist, and my grandmother all agreed that I show symptoms of BPD, and my psychiatrist said I might have Asperger’s because my dad supposedly had it. I actually had a psych evaluation for all that stuff before, but we never got the results back for some reason.” To treat BPD, it has been taking the mood stabilizer Lamictal - 100 milligrams twice a day. It requested to continue taking this medication while in containment; it claimed the medication helps its mental health very much, and it has “saved its life”. This request was approved. Despite being medicated, it still shows multiple symptoms of the disorder, such as unstable relationships and sense of self, fear of abandonment, black and white thinking, suicidal thoughts, extreme mood swings, feelings of emptiness, and intense anger. It also tends to push personnel away when upset. Entity refuses to try a different medication. SCP-5692 is undergoing weekly psychological therapy sessions.

Addendum 5692.1: Discovery

On the night of █/██/2020 reports of loud talking and laughter and overall unusual activity was reported coming from an abandoned house by neighbors on ████ █████ Road in ██████████, Maryland. Local police reported to the house and investigated. One individual from MTF Iota-10 went in disguise as well. Upon discovery, SCP-5692 was found in a bedroom holding a box full of instances of 5692-1, with a cage of birds next to 5692. It backed away into a corner of the room when the police force walked in. Instances of SCP-5692-1 were seen moving around the room and doing chores for SCP-5692. As soon as the MTF operative saw this activity, he quickly reported it and Class B Amnestics were administered to all other police officers present. Once detained, SCP-5692 asked, “Wait, you guys are real?” (SCP-5692’s knowledge of the Foundation was questioned in Addendum 5692.4). Upon examination, it was discovered that SCP-5692 was wearing a chest binder. After seeing this, Researcher P██████ asked, “Is it a girl?” Almost instantaneously, SCP-5692 [REDACTED]. Foundation personnel quickly transferred SCP-5692 to Site-17.

Addendum 5692.2: SCP-5692 refuses to wear any article of clothing that isn’t an oversized hoodie, black pants, and slippers. It claims it doesn’t feel comfortable wearing anything else; it also prefers to keep a chest binder on at all times, however it takes it off when instructed to do so to avoid rib damage.

Addendum 5692.3: SCP-5692 has requested to bring various things with it that were in its possession when apprehended, such as minerals (to which it referred to as “crystals”), a tarot deck and guidebook, various books about astrology and witchcraft, various types of Rubik’s Cubes, a Nintendo Switch, a cell phone, four (4) pet birds, and many stuffed animals (which it referred to as stuffies). All requests were approved.

Addendum 5692.5: The following tests were performed to study SCP-5692 and SCP-5692-1's anomolous properties.
