The Wicker Ballerina
Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Keter
Threat Level: Black

Special Containment Procedures: No successful containment procedures derived as of late, long-range bombardment and armed responses not possible due to civilian presence. SCP-XXXX and the area around it also seems to be completely invulnerable to all methods of destruction, including extreme heat, kinetic bombardment on small scales (full-scale bombardment not possible due to civilian presence) and collaboration efforts with the Global Occult Coalition are currently underway. After a “Swan Lake event” takes place MTF Pi-1 City Slickers is to be mobilized to administer class F amnestic to the general populous of the affected civilized area through audio/visual exposure.

Description: SCP-XXXX is approximately 2.5 meters tall, and roughly resembles a female humanoid wearing a classical tutu. It has abnormally long outstretched arms with a partially dry rotted piece of cloth of unknown composition hanging between them. The figure is constructed entirely from twigs and wood fibers of an unknown origin and composition due to lack of ability to collect samples for chemical analysis. Any attempts to collect materials results in the transmutation of the collector into a {REDACTED} and any unmanned attempts have been unsuccessful. See collection logs. SCP-XXXX does not appear to be sentient or capable of self-propelled locomotion. All non-Human Subjects (Birds, Reptiles, SCP’s, etc.) seem to be completely oblivious to SCP-XXXX due to some not yet known anomalous effect and will not approach it.

Anomalous properties take place every 6 years exactly, also known as a “Swan Lake Event”. The event commences when SCP-XXXX materializes in an area that has been recently cleared in the last 20 years of vegetation. These areas are always within 1.5 miles of a nearby civilized area, be it a town or a city. SCP-XXXX then becomes inactive and stays in that location for 2 months, also known as an “Intermission” period. At the end of this intermission period, approximately 25% to 5% of the nearest town or cities population travels to this field, not discussing it with anyone and doing it in a spontaneous manner, even leaving work or in one event even stepping away from an operating table to go to SCP-XXXX. These subjects are known as SCP-XXXX-1. SCP-XXXX-1 arrive at SCP-XXXX in whatever means that give the least amount of travel time to SCP-XXXX. In some cases, SCP-XXXX-1 will even assist other instances of SCP-XXXX-1 to travel to SCP-XXXX. During the end of this intermission period, the instances of SCP-XXXX-1 are in a trance-like state and become extremely agitated and even suicidal when anyone attempts to stop them or force them to go in a direction other than the fastest route to SCP-XXXX. On arrival to the current location of SCP-XXXX subjects will sit in circles with their backs facing it around SCP-XXXX and will never look at it, avoiding a direct line of sight with SCP-XXXX at all times. SCP-XXXX-1 will then converse with each other about “What great things they will see” ignoring all non-SCP-XXXX-1 entities to the point where physical pain can be inflicted upon SCP-XXXX-1 with little to no response. This carries on for approximately 2.5 hours before all conversation ceases and all instances of SCP-XXXX-1 sit up straight, legs crossed staring straight forward. Any non-SCP-XXXX-1 personnel entering within 2 kilometers of SCP-XXXX during this will be “turned” and join the instances of SCP-XXXX-1 in sitting. After all conversation has ceased instances of SCP-XXXX-1 will place their hands on the ground, and their fingers will elongate and thicken, extending into the ground in a root-like fashion. While this is happening instances of SCP-XXXX-1 will stiffen and transmute into trees of varying sizes native to that area, the only thing remaining at the end of the process their faces permanently morphed into the bark of the tree. After this SCP-XXXX-1 is to be considered neutralized.

SCP-XXXX-1 Conversation Logs

Foreword: Audio Recorded by exploration drone X-43A. Conversation between an approximately 25-30-year-old male instance of SCP-XXXX-1 and an Elderly female instance of SCP-XXXX-1. Subjects have no prior relationship. Subjects will be referred to as Male and Female.

<Begin Log>

Male: So are you excited?

Female: About as excited as someone my age could be!

{Both Subjects Laugh}
Male: I can't believe out of everyone, {Unintelligible} chose me!

Female: Yes, and to think, I thought I would die!
{Both Subjects Laugh, the female subject going into a coughing fit}
Male: Ma’am, are you okay?
Female: Please, call me ██████, and I will be soon.
<End Log>

Closing Statement: Both subjects are transmuted into large oak trees after approximately 2.5 hours, Drone recovered, audio logs archived.

While multiple audio logs have been recorded, none provide anything other than personal information about the instances of SCP-XXXX-1 or how “excited” they are, or how “honored” they are to be chosen by SCP-XXXX. These additional audio logs have been deemed extraneous and removed from the file. The name they refer to it as sounds native American in origin, but any attempt to transcript it results in data corruption.

Addendum: 05-7 has issued the following memorandum regarding SCP-XXXX

Anyone with any clue on how to smite this thing out of existence, report to the 05 council immediately. While this thing may not seem dangerous, if it ever decides to become more active, we have a GH-Class Scenario on our hands. All-hands-on-deck for this one folks.
