Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: Similar to procedures regarding SCP-3008, the local area containing SCP-XXXX has been purchased by the Foundation and converted into Site-██. The public highway ramps leading to Site-██ have been demolished, and all other public roads leading to Site-██ have been redirected. Any traffic attempting to get into Site-██ will be administered amnestics and escorted back to the highway.
SCP-XXXX and the area within one mile must be monitored at all times. Per the on-site Senior Researcher, up to two subjects are allowed inside at a time for testing and no more. All subjects must be given a full physical and psychological examination immediately after testing.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a building very closely resembling that of a Denny’s-branded diner. It is located one half-mile east of the [REDACTED] Highway, and it is the sole building within a one half-mile radius of itself, commercial or otherwise. Outdoor signage indicates that it is open 24 hours a day, although the dining room area within is always empty of customers.
Inside the building are entities designated SCP-XXXX-1. They appear to be human, with each instance wearing clothing resembling a Denny’s employee uniform. Instances of SCP-XXXX-1 exhibit the behaviors and actions of regular diner employees, such as cooking food, taking orders from tables, etc. When they speak, it is an unintelligible, garbled mess of language, and all attempts to translate or decode the speech have failed. SCP-XXXX-1 moves with sharp and imprecise motion that looks unnatural. Attempts to stop any instance of SCP-XXXX-1 from moving or taking action have resulted in serious injury or death.
Only one instance is observed to be active at a time. Should one instance be activated, any other currently active instance will freeze in the position and pose it holds, and will remain as such until it reactivates. Refer to Interview XXXX-8 for a more detailed description of SCP-XXXX-1.
SCP-XXXX-2 is a grey substance with a gel-like consistency and texture. SCP-XXXX-2 is assumed by test subjects to be the food and drink they placed orders for, as the substance was reported to be vaguely shaped similar to breakfast food items. Notably, when consumed, SCP-XXXX-2 retains the intended flavors of the item requested, such as bacon or eggs. Analysis of SCP-XXXX-2 regarding its atomic structure have revealed that it is mostly composed of non-toxic plastic and gelatin. No nutritional value has been assigned.
Addendum XXXX-2
After two weeks of containment, it has been concluded that despite being relatively close to a major public road, no trucks delivering supplies have been observed by human eye nor video recording. Instances of SCP-XXXX-1 have also not been observed to leave the confines of SCP-XXXX. It is now assumed that SCP-XXXX is self-sustaining, but it remains unknown how.
Addendum XXXX-9
Following Test 5B, the recovered body of an SCP-XXXX-1 instance has undergone autopsy. Results show that SCP-XXXX-1 is made of a plastic-like material, which acts as a shell for a steel-aluminum alloy endoskeleton. No form of electronics, wiring, or power source was found internally.
Test 1A - 11/██/20██
Subject: T. Smith
Procedure: Subject was directed to interact with SCP-XXXX as if he were a regular customer
Results: Subject fled building after reporting feelings of unease and discomfort with interior
Analysis: SCP-XXXX fails to properly imitate American dining experience in its entirety
Test 2C - 12/██/20██
Subject: R. Mason
Procedure: Subject directed to act as an elderly customer
Results: Subject terminated after threatening violence against an SCP-XXXX-1 instance
Analysis: Description of SCP-XXXX-1 as “human but not human” taken into account for discomfort among subjects
Test - 3G 1/██/20██
Subject: B. Shumaker, L. Pietro
Procedure: Subjects directed to act as an obnoxious married couple
Results: Subjects ignored for majority of test before ending prematurely
Analysis: SCP-XXXX-1 instances seem to carry similar pettiness and attitude as real employees
Test 6F - 4/██/20██
Subject: P. Lester
Procedure: Subject given list of questions to ask SCP-XXXX-1 instance
Results: Subject forcibly removed from SCP-XXXX, no injury sustained
Analysis: When questioned about the operations of SCP-XXXX, instances of SCP-XXXX-1 become highly agitated. First aggressive action by SCP-XXXX-1 since Test 4D
Interviewed: A. Reynolds, Class D Personnel
Interviewer: Dr. H█████
Foreword: Subject describes interacting with SCP-XXXX-1
<Begin Log, █/██/20██, 4:33 PM>
Interviewer: Please describe the actions of SCP-XXXX-1 in your presence.
Reynolds: It was like… looking at one of those giant puppet things at Chuck E. Cheese. Y’know how they have that bastard mouse and his friends up on the stage in the back of the room? It was like watching them do their show. For almost an hour.
Interviewer: How would you describe their movements?
Reynolds: Clunky. Like watching disco dads do the robot. Reminded me of when I used to make stop-motion animations in high school.
Interviewer: Were you unsettled or disturbed by how SCP-XXXX-1 moves?
Reynolds: Who wouldn’t be? And sometimes they don’t even walk, they just lock up mid-step and glide across the floor. It’s so damn creepy.
Interviewer: You became aware of separate instances of SCP-XXXX-1 activating and deactivating at 22 minutes into the test. What was your reaction?
Reynolds: I thought I did something wrong. Pissed one of them off. But then I look around the booth and see the line cook going at it with the griddle. The waiter just stared off into the distance at the window, like it was seeing something through the wall. And when it came back to my table with food or whatever the fuck it was, it just stared at me. Taunting me. I wanted to punch it in the jaw, see if it would react. Not that I’d understand what it would say.
Interviewer: I believe that is enough. Thank you. You will be escorted back to your room now.
Reynolds: -sounds of chair scraping floor- I fucking hate this Denny’s.

Closing Statement: A. Reynolds was taken to [REDACTED] for examination as per outlined procedures.
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be kept in a locked box with one guard at all times. Using SCP-XXXX for personal consumption of beverages is strictly forbidden.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a personal travel mug branded by convenience store chain, 7-Eleven. It is made of a polished metal with no coloring other than the logo on its exterior. The interior is coated with a hydrophobic sealant, and is perpetually clean of stains.
If any liquid is poured into SCP-XXXX, the liquid will seem to vanish through the bottom, leaving no trace behind. It is suspected that a pocket dimension on the inside, designated SCP-XXXX-1, retains the liquid. Any liquid that is within SCP-XXXX-1 can be retrieved by intentionally pouring out what was placed inside; tipping the mug over results in no liquid spilled. SCP-XXXX-1 is effectively infinite in size, and can hold any amount of liquid for an indefinite amount of time.
Discovery
SCP-XXXX was first discovered via private Youtube video from user channel █████████. The owner of the cup, ███████, used SCP-XXXX as part of a magic trick routine in the video. This video was forwarded to Foundation officers, who promptly had the mug be purchased from ████████ for a sum of $█████. The footage was deleted from the website and the user’s computer, and the user was administered amnestics.
Addendum XXXX-1:
Solids appear to sit inside the mug as it normally would, and can be easily removed by hand. Solids that can fully or partially change into liquids will begin to boil immediately upon contact with the interior of SCP-XXXX. Any liquid resulting from this reaction will then vanish as it would, leaving behind particulates and solid matter. See Test Log 3 for further details.
Addendum XXXX-3:
It has been discovered that multiple, separate liquids can coexist within SCP-XXXX-1. When retrieving those substances, they exit in a “first in, last out” manner. Each liquid must also be entirely retrieved before the next substance can be recovered. See Test Log 7 for further details.
Test 3 - 8/██/20██
Subject: Dr. O███████
Procedure: 1 L salt water was poured into SCP-XXXX
Results: Water partially evaporated and disappeared into SCP-XXXX-1, traces of salt left behind
Analysis: Solids cannot enter SCP-XXXX-1. Solutions will be separated and leave particulates on interior
Test 7 - 8/██/20██
Subject: Dr. O███████
Procedure: 500 mL water was added to SCP-XXXX, followed by 500 mL olive oil. Both substances were then retrieved
Results: Water was not poured out until oil was entirely retrieved
Analysis: SCP-XXXX empties on a first in, last out basis. If entirety of X liquid is not retrieved in a single pour, other liquids placed inside cannot be retrieved until remainder of X is emptied out
Test 9 - 9/██/20██
Subject: Dr. M████
Procedure: 500 mL water was added to SCP-XXXX, followed by 500 mL cola, then another 500 mL water. All substances were then retrieved
Results: 1000 mL Water emptied out first before cola could be retrieved
Analysis: If multiple instances of the same type of liquid are placed in SCP-XXXX, they will combine to form one unit. First substance to exit based on last liquid in regardless of number of instances
