Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be contained in a containment cell, with a floor composed of grey-ceramic tiles and the walls being made from oak wood which has been painted white. The cell also has a stainless-steel containment door with a singular hatch and window. From outside of the cell, SCP-XXXX's initials can be seen displayed via stencilling to the left of the door, along with a plaque displaying it's object class along with it's general summary and sentience.
One MTF (Mobile Task Force) member are to be situated in front of SCP-XXXX’s containment door. Armed with an FN-P90 and Swat Armour. The contents of the containment cell consist of a canvas fixed upon an easel covered with a white silk tarp. With two MTF members on each side of the tarp, armed with the same weaponry and armour as the other members.
No D-Class Personnel are permitted to enter the cell, except D-Class Personnel that have been specifically assigned to test SCP-XXXX, which has only been approved by superiors. Personnel who don’t comply to this rule will be terminated on sight.
When SCP-XXXX is required to be transported to different locations, it is to be contained in a crate specifically designed for it's height, after storing the object, transportation via cranes and forklifts are permitted.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a 30 x 35 cm canvas fixed upon a 100 cm wooden easel with a small black knob at the top of the easel for adjusting height. Along with the knob, the easel has a tray where various art supplies and tools are kept, this area tends become messy, often covered with various paint-like substances, this tends to happen after a victim has finished using the canvas. Which can be caused before death or by intense use of the object.
When not in use, SCP-XXXX is covered by a white silk tarp, under the intense guarding of MTF members.
When a victim comes into contact with the canvas itself, they will start to back away and mutter to themselves frantically, it has been noted that the victim will then look around themselves anxiously and start swaying their arms around themselves, they will then collapse to the floor, before getting back up and approach the canvas just to stare at the easel's art tool tray.
Time taken for victim's to re-adjust themselves after collapsing has been varied, it has been estimated that it can take up to 3 to 15 minutes.
After staring at the easel, art supplies of various types has been found to suddenly materialise in front of the victim, the subject will then proceed to become completely obsessed with the canvas, dedicating each living moment to create varied pieces of art. To the point where MTF members had to physically intervene and remove the subject from the area, because the victim would refuse to sustain themselves via food and water.
Throughout the course of testing SCP-XXXX's properties on the subject, physical signs showed that the victim became incredibly malnourished, becoming noticeably thinner and more bony in appearance, especially in the facial region. The victim also gradually becomes paranoid in showing MTF members and other personnel their art, often muttering to themselves about how they're underserving of merely viewing it.
When interacting via conversation with the victim, they boast and brag about their artworks and skills as an artist. Calling their art quite "lavish" and completely "breath-taking". However, MTF and research personnel are quite confused by these responses, as when directly viewed, the victim seems to paint nothing but screams and pleads for help. Often writing crude messages to help them and save them. It seems the victim is suffering from some sort of delusional trance.
Attempts to take away the canvas from the subject result in the person becoming extremely agitated and enraged, while in this state, MTF members have been shown to threaten the subject with weaponry, to no avail or effect.
Eventually, it seems that after a 3 week period of tending to the canvas, the victim will run out of art supplies and when this happens, it has been noted that the subject will start to shake and shiver, while frantically muttering to themselves which differ in range. The victim will then proceed to find any remotely sharp art tool to cut themselves open with, although it's been shown that previous subjects preferably decided to cut their arms and stomach.
The victim will then start to pour their blood on the easel tray and mix it in with a paintbrush, the person will then paint on the canvas until they bleed to death.
In all instances of this, the word DELUSION could be seen written in the victim's blood. So far, every subject that's been assigned to testing SCP-XXXX's properties has done this.
Addendum:
Photo taken of SCP-XXXX right after discovery, canvas removed for research purposes.
SCP-XXXX was discovered in a studio apartment, that was formerly owned by an artist, said artist had friends living with him while he was still alive, they mentioned that he bought the canvas and easel at an art store that was apparently right across from the studio apartment complex. They mentioned that the individual suddenly seemed quite paranoid and anxious around others viewing his canvas.
The friend in particular said that even though they're friend had spent hours to days on end painting in his room, they were completely surprised to discover that all they saw, were pleads of help on his canvas.
A couple of weeks later, the friend discovered the artist dead, with knife wounds and cuts on both of his arms, the friend later identified that the knife used was a clay sculpting knife.
After gathering a summary on the origin of SCP-XXXX and it's effects and properties, a researcher for the foundation interviewed the friend in particular.
Interviewee: The artist's friend (Does not want real name revealed or mentioned).
Interviewer: Dr. Michael Somerson
Foreword: Dr. Somerson is interviewing a close friend of the artist who purchased and discovered SCP-XXXX, primarily to gather more information regarding it's past.
[Begin Log]
Dr. Somerson: Can you tell us about your artist friend?
[NAME UNDISCLOSED]: What more do you need to know about him?
Dr. Somerson: Well, a name would be a good start.
[NAME UNDISCLOSED]: Jeremy, Jeremy Abel.
Dr. Somerson: (Writing notes in journal while listening) Jeremy…Abel, anything else? his date of birth?
[NAME UNDISCLOSED]: 8th/May/19██ (censor has been used for privacy reasons).
Dr. Somerson: Good, that's enough for now, what I primarily want to focus on currently is how Jeremy was affected by SCP-XXXX's effects and properties? While you have briefly touched upon the subject, it wasn't really covered in detail, would you comply with explaining it to me?
[NAME UNDISCLOSED]: (Takes a deep breath), ok. Ever since he purchased the canvas and easel, he was never the same after it. Things would progressively worse each day it seemed, with what started off as mumbling and frantic muttering, turned into escalated yelling coming from within his room. It urged me to call emergency services various times. I was worried about him, to be suddenly thrusted into a situation where I had no idea what to do and all I could do clearly wasn't helping.
It was as though his psyche was deteriorating, It made me want to get him checked out in some mental ward. (Tone becomes progressively louder and more agitated) Do you know what that does to person?
Do you know? How I felt when I saw him on the ground, unresponsive. A best friend, my only good friend even, gone. Just gone. (Tone starts to crack up, as though to show they're on the verge of crying)
And I didn't know what to do, all I could do was cry at the sight of my dead best friend. (starts to sob)
Dr. Somerson: (clears throat) I'm sorry, I truly am. It wasn't something you could ever control to begin with. As bleak as it sounds, While I'm sorrowful for your loss, that's about all we needed to conduct this interview for. Thank for your time, ███ ██████.
