SCP-XXXX upon Foundation acquisition.
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be contained in a standard lockbox in the containment wing of Site-77. Research on SCP-XXXX may be done with permission and supervision of a researcher with level 4 security clearance. The folds of SCP-XXXX are not to be manipulated.
Description: SCP-XXXX is an anomalous origami object made of white paper. When unfolding is attempted, it becomes another shape. Each shape stays roughly the same size, being no larger than 18 centimeters in any dimension. The differing shapes cause different phenomena, hereafter referred to as SCP-XXXX-1. It is unknown if SCP-XXXX can be refolded, and if so, what the effects are. SCP-XXXX's current form is an origami beetle. A Japanese beetle labeled SCP-XXXX-1d is always present near it. Attempts to separate SCP-XXXX from SCP-XXXX-1d have failed as SCP-XXXX-1d seems to dematerialize and then rematerialize near SCP-XXXX. SCP-XXXX-1d appears to be immortal, as it does not require food and is apparently immune to harm.
SCP-XXXX was originally located at the ██████ █████ Shrine in ███, Japan. It is believed that SCP-XXXX was created by the Fujiwara family for religious purposes sometime between the eleventh and twelfth centuries CE. It came to Foundation attention on 1/5/████ when reports of [REDACTED] began in the area. Further investigation found information regarding the burglary of an artifact at the ██████ █████ Shrine. SCP-XXXX was apprehended and transported to Site-64. After the discovery of the document SCP-XXXX-A, it was transported to Site-77 for higher security storage. SCP-XXXX-A is recorded in Addendum-XXXX-02.
All known shapes and effects of SCP-XXXX are related to Shinto. In particular, each effect is a kami, and the shape is related to the kami. When stolen, SCP-XXXX had the form of a dharma wheel. Upon acquisition, SCP-XXXX had the form of a face, and caused [REDACTED]. Further testing revealed several more shapes and effects; see Addendum-XXXX-01.
Test A - 1/5/████
Subject: SCP-XXXX
Procedure: Dr. Eskite attempted to unfold SCP-XXXX.
Results: SCP-XXXX changed shape from a face to a cloud. A thunderstorm, hereafter referred to as SCP-XXXX-1a, immediately materialized above Site-64. Reports of [REDACTED] ceased.
Analysis: SCP-XXXX seems to generate effects related to its shape. It is unknown if there is any pattern to the effects. It is unknown how it manages to avoid being flattened out. More research is required.
Test B - 2/5/████
Subject: SCP-XXXX
Procedure: Dr. Eskite attempted to unfold SCP-XXXX again.
Results: SCP-XXXX changed shape from a cloud to a fox. SCP-XXXX-1a immediately dematerialized. A red fox, hereafter referred to as SCP-XXXX-1b, manifested near Dr. Eskite. When attempts were made to catch it, SCP-XXXX-1b escaped. Subsequent reports were made of an unidentified woman wandering the site. The woman was captured and transformed into a red fox.
Analysis: It appears that the effects are related to Shinto, the traditional religion of Japan. In particular, this red fox, as well as thunderstorms and [REDACTED], are all kami - the deities of Shinto. Further research is advised.
Test C - 3/5/████
Subject: SCP-XXXX and SCP-XXXX-1b
Procedure: Dr. Eskite attempted to unfold SCP-XXXX again, with SCP-XXXX-1b visible.
Results: SCP-XXXX changed shape from a fox to a wave. SCP-XXXX-1b dematerialized immediately, as expected. No immediate effects were visible. Within minutes, a report came in of a tsunami, hereafter labeled SCP-XXXX-1c, off the coast of Oregon.
Analysis: An immediate follow-up is recommended.
Test D - 3/5/████
Subject: SCP-XXXX and SCP-XXXX-1c
Procedure: Dr. Eskite attempted to quickly unfold SCP-XXXX again.
Results: SCP-XXXX changed shape from a wave to a beetle. SCP-XXXX-1c was soon reported to have vanished. A Japanese beetle, hereafter referred to as SCP-XXXX-1d, manifested nearby.
Analysis: Unfolding SCP-XXXX is inadvisable until further notice. Testing on SCP-XXXX-1d is recommended.
Test E - 4/5/████
Subject: SCP-XXXX and SCP-XXXX-1d
Procedure: Dr. Eskite attempted to separate SCP-XXXX-1d from SCP-XXXX by quickly moving SCP-XXXX, and by capturing SCP-XXXX-1d.
Results: SCP-XXXX-1d dematerialized and rematerialized within 3 meters of SCP-XXXX whenever they were more than approximately 4 meters apart. During the process, Dr. Eskite accidentally stepped on SCP-XXXX-1d; SCP-XXXX-1d appeared about 1 meter away, unharmed.
Analysis: SCP-XXXX-1d maintains a close distance to SCP-XXXX and seems immune to harm.
Following Test D, further investigation into SCP-XXXX's origins was ordered. Investigation of the ██████ █████ Shrine on 5/5/████ uncovered a document, labeled SCP-XXXX-A, which explains the effects and end of SCP-XXXX. Below is a translation of the relevant parts of the document.
A gift, from ancestor to children.
First, as paper. Second, as friendship. Third, as wisdom. Fourth, as victory. Fifth, as enlightenment.
First, from me. Second and third, from the wife. Fourth and fifth, from the General.
Every gift has a cost.
Sixth, a hex. Seventh, a storm. Eighth, a trick. Ninth, a wave.
Sixth, from the General. Seventh, eight, and ninth, from the wrestler.
Tenth, a reprieve. Eleventh, a visitation. Twelfth, the sun.
Tenth and eleventh, from ██████ █████████. Twelfth, from █████████ herself.
Following the recovery of this document, Site-64 Director Edgar Holman had SCP-XXXX transferred to Site-77 for high security storage.
BELOW IS AN UNFINISHED SCP REWRITE.
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be secured in a locked, environmentally controlled display case at Site-64. Testing may be done with permission by a researcher with level 3 or higher security clearance.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a metal engagement ring with a sapphire set surrounded by small diamonds, akin to proposal rings made in the late 1800's. It was found in Victorian era ████ Ruins in southeast Great Britain by Agent ████████. Rumors among locals speak of SCP-XXXX as the last remains of an old nobles fortune. While when questioned none were able to provide a solid date, records of the area show the lands belonging to the UK government since the 1970s. No further records on SCP-XXXX were found.
SCP-XXXX will change size to fit the current holder's left ring finger. If the holder does not have a left-ring finger, it will not change size. When worn the users primary and secondary sex characteristics shift towards the opposite end of the spectrum they were previously on. This shift is proportional to the masculinity or femininity of the wearer; for example, if originally the wearer was somewhat masculine, they become somewhat feminine. This change is immediate, with no discernible harm. Test subjects with originally male sex characteristics report that they feel like "blushing brides" while test subjects with originally female sex characteristics indicate extreme nervousness. Upon removal of the ring the wearer shifts back to their original sex characteristics. This shift is slower after multiple usages, with the fifth removal taking one minute to revert to original sex characteristics.
When wearing SCP-XXXX men tend to develop stereotypically feminine attitude and mannerisms, whereas women tend to develop stereotypically masculine attitude and mannerisms. These changes do not appear permanent, although subjects who have undergone the change multiple times have this effect prolonged. The longest recorded was test subject seven, a woman, who after wearing the ring for twenty-four hours had her mentality switched for an five days.
What do I do with this. This can be so good. But I really don't like how it is now. Hmm.
Testing on subjects who have identified themselves as transgender have shown an almost dependency on wearing the ring, Test subject-11 a transgender woman refused to remove the ring.
Testing subjects from various transgender groups have revealed results akin to drug addiction, where the subject has withdrawal effects upon removal. No physical effects were documented but mental addiction was common with transgender subjects many claimed a sense of sudden completion when SCP-XXXX was worn. Upon removal of SCP-XXXX these effects last until the end of the mentality switch period has ended. When tested during this period many transgender subjects will beg and plead to wear the ring. Brain scans have shown subjects who experience this effect have major neural activity resulting in extreme loss of emotional control.
Addendum: While wearing the ring, some test subjects report seeing a woman crying, hereafter referred to as SCP-XXXX-2. Only those wearing the ring are able to see SCP-XXXX-2. Test subjects give a similar description of SCP-XXXX-2: a younger woman age ranging around her twenties with long black hair in a tattered dress. When asked to give a facial description all subjects claimed to be unable to due to SCP-XXXX-2 covering its face. Light radiation has been detected when a subject claims to see it. When asked to approach SCP-XXXX-2 subjects would often approach and attempt to console it before passing out. Upon awakening, they report no memory of SCP-XXXX-2.
The appearance of SCP-XXXX-2 appears to be random. Some test subjects never see it, while others see it every time they wear the ring. Subjects who see the woman multiple times seem to suffer a depressive state upon removal of the ring. Test subject twenty-seven claimed to hear the woman talking to herself, and when asked what it is that is said test subject twenty-seven merely stared blankly until they collapsed. The coroner reported that test subject-27 appeared to have expired from a heart attack. Light amounts of radiation were found in the test subject's bloodstream. (Author's Note: Better look up to make sure this makes any sense, medically speaking. It seems it might, but deserves more explanation. Radiation doesn't come from nowhere.) Attempts to recreate the test results have proven unsuccessful as any interaction with the woman results in test subjects merely fainting.
