Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX should be kept in its original box, which should in turn be kept in a lead-lined steel box 61 centimeters on every side. The steel box should be opened via several standard key-locks, and a numeric passcode. The steel box should also have an interior weight monitor that sends it’s recordings to a seperate location. Weight inside the box should never descend below 4 kilograms. A microphone should also be fitted inside of the box, and the audio should be delayed by approximately 10 seconds before being sent to a seperate location. This is purely for research purposes.
If the weight inside the box goes under 4kg, all on-site personnel are advised to not leave their current rooms until containment is assured. They are also advised not to trust anything that sounds over the speaker systems, including additional warnings. Anyone in the hallways during these events has an unknown window of time to get to a secure room, although it typically ranges from 3-5 minutes. Guards and containment specialists will swiftly arrive on site and clear each room one at a time once containment is assured.
SCP-XXXX should be kept within a standard containment cell with the lights off (as requested by both SCP-XXXX-4 and SCP-XXXX-10) and widely left alone. Interviews should not take place within this containment cell. Cameras are to be disabled, and under no circumstances should videos of SCP-XXXX or its contents be created.
Description: Following its discovery by Researcher Gidget Birch early last year, the original box was delivered to Site-██. This was after what she called “The worst Halloween ever!” in which she reported using every item in the box, and found that none of them had stayed in their proper places. And as for the children who tried trick-or-treating at her house: when many of them were approaching the door, they were greeted by multiple entities from the box. According to Dr. Birch, and neighboring witnesses who were later issued Class-B amnestics, the entities then proceeded to “say things to the kids,” “manipulate them,” and “The gnome [REDACTED] and tried to wear him like a coat!” The body count reached double digits before the objects could be properly contained, although law enforcement was able to be intercepted.
Upon initial testing, each of these items expressed some level of sentience and sapience. Almost all appear to be hostile in some manner to the human race, and have individually vowed (to both Dr. Birch and others) to “destroy as many souls as they possibly can.” Many have cognitohazardous effects, ranging from annoying but otherwise harmless headaches to dementia, schizophrenia, an insatiable urge to eat candy, self immolation, and in many cases, complete brain death over a period of 2 hours. Interviews have been held with each object individually, the objects have been designated SCP-XXXX-1 and so forth. Five of the interviews can be found in this document. Their effects have also been logged in a separate graph.
Interviewer: Dr. Stephen Williams, Site-██
Interviewed: SCP-XXXX-1
SCP-XXXX-1 is a █████████ brand Murderous Garden Gnome.[Begin Log]
Dr. Williams: Do you remember where you were-
SCP-XXXX-1: (Interrupting, speaking loudly and almost incoherently) I WILL [REDACTED] AND THEN I WILL [REDACTED] AND SWIM AROUND INSIDE IT!
(Pause)
Dr. Williams: (sighs) Okay, now will you cooperate with the Foundation-
SCP-XXXX-1: (Screams VERY loudly for 30 full seconds)[End Log]
Closing Statement: SCP-XXXX-1 is by far the most violent item in the box. Dr. Williams was interviewing it from a different room, which is good because he kept swinging the axe around the room for the entire interview. Furthermore, a delay had to be set on the audio Dr. Williams was receiving, as the first two researchers who attempted to interview it, upon hearing its voice, tried to enter its room. The second researcher succeeded, and sustained multiple lacerations from the axe on the legs, before falling down and [REDACTED] by SCP-XXXX-1.
Interviewer: Dr. Brian Columbus, Site-██
Interviewed: SCP-XXXX-11
SCP-XXXX-11 is a “grim reaper” hangable of unknown manufacturer. It is only plastic from its head model to its shoulders, at which point there is a cloak made of a nylon-polyester blend that goes down the remaining length.[Begin Log]
SCP-XXXX-11: Greetings and salutations, consumer.
Dr. Columbus: Yes, hello, (clears throat) would you mind explaining to me how you [REDACTED] those children last year? Do you even remember, or feel remorse?
SCP-XXXX-11: Consumer, I can assure you that those…dispatched consumers were mere elements that create more life. I cannot say I feel remorse for creating life.
Dr. Columbus: (Noticeably angry) Created life?
SCP-XXXX-11: Created life. Consumer, if you enter this room with me and…(voice rises) are you delaying what I say?
Dr. Columbus: I think we’re done here, thank you.
SCP-XXXX-11: Delaying….what….I….say….Doctor….Columbus….
(At this point, Dr. Columbus is observed to be very disconcerted by other researchers present.)
SCP-XXXX-11: Doesn’t….make….me….very….compliant.[End Log]
Closing Statement: SCP-XXXX-11 wasn’t just pausing between words at the end: it was very clearly removing the delay of three seconds that was set in place for the interview. Dr. Columbus, after the interview, worked the rest of the day very monotonously. After which, he traveled home and hung himself. There was no note at the scene, and it was called a response to a failed marriage.
Interviewer: Dr. Gidget Birch, Site-██
Interviewed: SCP-XXXX-3-a
SCP-XXXX-3-a is the designation given to the first scented candle. It is red in color, although it has not been tested to see what it smells like.[Begin Log]
Dr. Birch: Are you fucking kidding me?
(No response)
Dr. Birch: I’m the youngest researcher here. I’m very smart! I could be studying…I don’t know, SCP-049 or something! He seems cool! But no!
(No response)
Dr. Birch: You have me interviewing a God damned candle that I found in my attic.
(No response, Dr. Birch is prompted to ask it SCP-XXXX-3-a a question.)
Dr. Birch: You guys are actually serious right now…(Long, loud sigh) alright, fine. What fucking flavor are you, SCP-XXXX-3-a?
SCP-XXXX-3-a: DEATH
(Pause)
Dr. Birch: That was just recorded, right? (To side) Did you guys hear what I just heard?
SCP-XXXX-3-a: (quietly) DEATH DEATH DEATH DEATH DEATH DEATH DEATH DEATH DEATH DEATH DEATH DEATH DEATH DEATH DEATH (Continues until interview ends)
Dr. Birch: What the shit! (Screaming) MAKE IT STOP! MAKE IT STOP![End Log]
Closing Statement: Dr. Birch sustained temporary hearing loss, although this doesn’t seem possible. Dr. Birch wasn’t alone in the room, she wasn’t wearing headphones/earbuds, and nobody else sustained any damages whatsoever. It is speculated that the damages may have been much worse and permanent if there hadn’t been a 10-second delay put in place. Testing using D-class personnel is pending.
Interviewer: Dr. Stephen Williams, Site-██
Interviewed: SCP-XXXX-4
SCP-XXXX-4 is a skull candle holder. It is made entirely of a low quality metal, although it hasn’t been currently identified. It is speculated that it could be a combination of multiple alloys.[Begin Log]
Dr. Williams: I understand you can talk?
SCP-XXXX-4: Yes.
Dr. Williams: If you can speak, do you properly understand if you have a completely functioning brain?
SCP-XXXX-4: I…uh…I believe I do? You see, there aren’t many others like me, so we don’t properly understand much about ourselves in general. We can speak-
Dr. Williams: I want to go back to what you said about there being others like you in the first place. Right now, however, because you can speak english, can you speak any other languages?
SCP-XXXX-4: I…um, I don’t know. I haven’t really tried. Should…(pause) should I?
Dr. Williams: If you would, that would be helpful.
SCP-XXXX-4: Okay…is there something you want me to say in particular? Or, in a specific language?
Dr. Williams: Anything will do, for either.
SCP-XXXX-4: Ego er Lääkäri Viliyams (pause) gwa inē avoir masalah.
Dr. Williams: We have your, (clears throat) transcript here. Before I get a translator in here, would you mind telling me what language you just spoke in?
SCP-XXXX-4: I’m…not sure.
(Long pause)
Dr. Williams: XXXX-4, you just spoke in eight different languages, and you said…(pause) ‘I am Doctor Williams, and I have problems.’ And that's all an extremely loose translation. These words don't naturally fit together.
SCP-XXXX-4: (laughs lightly) Yes well…(Doesn’t continue)
Dr. Williams: (uncomfortably and hesitantly) Let’s go back to what you said about there being more than one of you?
SCP-XXXX-4: Yes. I believe that because there is one of me here, you would reach the conclusion that there would be others like me.
Dr. Williams: We aren’t completely sure about that. But if we find others like you-
SCP-XXXX-4: You don’t plan on keeping me here, do you?
Dr. Williams: I’m afraid we do, at least for the time being. For your security.
SCP-XXXX-4: My security?
Dr. Williams: There are a lot of things that could end up breaking you or destroying you entirely. Keeping you here is the best chance for your existence to be documented and you to persist living…(pause) do you even eat?
SCP-XXXX-4: I…I don’t eat.
Dr. Williams: I have a few more official questions I would like to-
SCP-XXXX-4: If it is all the same with you, I would like to be finished now.
Dr. Williams: Do you have a specific reason?
(No response)
Dr. Williams: Hrmm. Alright. Another time maybe?
(No response)[End Log]
Closing Statement: By far the most docile of the group, SCP-XXXX-4 is polite and generally well spoken. Post interview, SCP-XXXX-4 didn’t complain about its containment with the other objects, although it will not answer any other interview questions. The only recorded response as of this interview is SCP-XXXX-4 asking if it can speak with Dr. Birch. It has been denied thus far, research will continue and another interview, one with Dr. Birch, will be conducted in the future.
Interviewer: Dr. Gidget Birch, Site-██
Interviewed: SCP-XXXX-3-b
SCP-XXXX-3-b is the other scented candle, green in color. Like the other, it is unknown what it smells like.[Begin Log]
Dr. Birch: (With a raised voice) You aren’t going to scream really loud like the other one, are you? They keep telling me it didn’t happen, but my ears don’t lie!
(Dr. Birch is reminded to be professional)
Dr. Birch: Fine! Okay, so, first of all, can you speak?
SCP-XXXX-3-b: (Very softly) Yes.
Dr. Birch: You already sound extremely different from SCP-XXXX-3-a.
SCP-XXXX-3-b: Who…is that?
Dr. Birch: Right. This may seem like an abstract or unimportant question, but do you know what you are scented like?
SCP-XXXX-3-b: █████████…I think.
Dr. Birch: █████████? I like that.Closing Statement: The log was cut short, as once Dr. Birch said █████████, several guards and researchers in the room started trying to slam their heads into the walls. Dr. Birch did not seem to be affected, and neither did another researcher who was in the room at the time. 4 people did die in the event, and the effects are reported to be caused by the use of the word █████████. Awaiting testing to see if other instances of that word have any effect, or if it is simply around SCP-XXXX-3-b.
