Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX can be easily contained only under certain circumstances. The first important step is a cell made from a silver mirror that has been curved enough to make the cell’s mirrors concave, in which the reflections of SCP-XXXX are so distorted, it cannot recognize itself in the mirror. As its main effects are memetic and rely on heavily on extended eye contact, it will lock on to one of its own reflections thinking it is a possible victim to its effects, thus rendering possible human targets that are there to maintain its cell, somewhat more protected. It is currently unknown why only silver mirrors work, but it advised that you do not try and experiment with other types of mirrors with SCP-XXXX.
The second step to successfully contain SCP-XXXX is by continually cleaning the mirrors in its cell daily, as which excessive smudging in the reflective surfaces will cause SCP-XXXX to no longer be distracted by its own reflections and cause great harm to any who enter its cell.
The third step to containment is SCP-XXXX’s special diet procedure. SCP-XXXX consumes young adults, aged 18-25, who commonly use online ways of communication to commence in sexual activities or romantic opportunities. These people are colloquially known as e-boys and e-girls (‘gamer girls’ and ‘gamer boys’ are also acceptable if within age parameters). SCP-XXXX will require this food of substance once every month, and if not fed properly or at all, it will lash out at anything in its cell until its proper needs are met. If not met, SCP-XXXX will [DATA EXPUNGED] causing damage to both the facility and people within a range of █████. After finishing its meal, it is not known to create any waste, so cleaning up after SCP-XXXX itself is not needed unless it inhibits the mirror and its reflective capabilities.
SCP-XXXX is kept in repurposed abandoned circus in ████, █████ where the mirror maze was one located. It was first checked into the facility in the year 20██9. The circus was built in the 18██ and was abandoned due to the beginning of [DATA EXPUNGED]. It was acquired by the ████████ foundation in 18██, which eventually became part of the later SCP foundation. All mirrors from the maze were cleaned and reused for the containment cell of SCP-XXXX, hence why its placement there.

Description: SCP-XXXX as explained in containment procedures has certain memetic qualities that provide a high danger when exposed to in exuberant amounts. There are three stages to SCP-XXXX’s effects.
The first comes with the first few moments of eye contact, where SSCP-XXXX forces its victim to copy its facial expression. Studies with D-Class subjects provides compelling data to prove that extended eye contact with SCP-XXXX lasting longer than anywhere from 35-45 seconds will cause this first stage’s effects. SCP-XXXX’s, which has been dually noted to resemble ████████’s emoji known as ‘:flushed:’, anomalous behavior also causes immense physical pain which can only be described as overwhelming and sickening by those same D-Class individuals.
The second stage was conducted research on by forcing a D-Class subject to 30 minutes of prolonged eye contact. He promptly started using slang based around ████████ and ████████ communities. Other test subjects remarked it as being needlessly excessive and annoying repetitions of the same jokes and phrases, usually references to an application called ██████. In between the tasteless references and bad humor, the subject in question would continually groan in mental anguish due to the self-awareness they had of their condition. One confirmed case of SCP-XXXX’s 2nd stage effects outside of the testing facility occurred on ███████ 23, 20██9. ██████ was harassed for their speech patterns caused by SCP-XXXX’s effect, they turned to a life of solitude to prevent further mockery. ██████’s condition came to light when they pled on national television for any doctor or psychologist who could diagnose and treat him. Eventually, the foundation traced him down, due to the anomalous behavior of the situation, and interrogated him about when his condition first started. After a few hard hours of interviewing and further research, SCP-XXXX was traced to the location, ████████, and was immediately contained.
The third stage of SCP-XXXX was only confirmed to have happened one time, and that was through the use of test subjects. For 10 hours, the individual made eye contact with SCP-XXXX, and when the 10th hour struck, all previous symptoms portrayed by the first and second stages were completely nullified and the victim turned a bright yellow hue and [DATA EXPUNGED], leading to the creation of the new SCP-████. SCP-████ was immediately neutralized due to the fact that it seemed to [DATA EXPUNGED]. The prospect of more similar SCP-XXXs forming was too much of a risk for the foundations smaller subdivision, so thus the neutralization.

Addendum:

Interviewed: ██████, the first documented victim

Interviewer: Dr. █████

Foreword: This victim was the first confirmed case of SCP-XXXX and its second stage effects. The victim was interrogated to try and find the whereabouts of where the anomaly was located.

<Begin Log, ████ A.M., ██████ 4, 20█9>

Dr. █████: When did this all begin, ██████?

██████: (25 minutes of incoherent mumbling about internet jargon)
██████: Well, I oop, believed that it uh, started around the 24th of last month, that’s the tea.

Dr. █████: Where were you living when this began?
██████: (15 minutes of comparing which Korean Boy Band is better)

██████: I was stanning the next town over, █████████, I had to leave the fandom because, and I oop, was keep getting hate for the way I talk, and thats the motherfuckin’ tea.

Dr. █████: Alright, thank you for your cooperation.

██████: Bruh moment.
<End Log, ███ A.M.>

Closing Statement: With this little information, we had our Agents scour the small town looking for SCP-XXXX, finding it a few hours later, quickly containing the anomaly and bringing it to the ex-circus cite in ████, ██████.
