Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid (Pending Neuralized)

Special Containment Procedures: The building that formerly housed SCP-XXXX is to be opened back up for public access, however SCP-XXXX is to be monitored for any return of SCP-XXXX-A or SCP-XXXX-B.

Description: SCP-XXXX is an auditorium in ████████, Massachusetts. SCP-XXXX-A and SCP-XXXX-B are two humanoids that inhabit the stage of SCP-XXXX. SCP-XXXX-A and -B constantly perform a dance routine to the song █████ by ███████1. At the conclusion of the song, the lights turn completely off for 10 seconds. After those 10 seconds, the lights turn back on and SCP-XXXX-A and -B have returned to their beginning positions. The song will restart after 5 seconds, and the entities will repeat the cycle.

SCP-XXXX-A's movements are consistent throughout each cycle. It maintains a neutral facial expression except for when SCP-XXXX-B deviates from its usual movements, where it assumes an expression of displeasure, distaste, or annoyance.

SCP-XXXX-B deviates from its normal movements approximately once every 2002 cycles. Most often, it deviations are missteps, loss of balance, or slight movements away from SCP-XXXX-A and towards the exits of SCP-XXXX3. Its facial expressions change based on the movements of SCP-XXXX-A. It constantly glances over to SCP-XXXX-A throughout its dance, alternating between expressions of reverence, contempt, fear, panic, and pain. Expressions conveying pain only occur during deviations from its standard movements.

Outside entities cannot enter the stage via any means, but they can enter SCP-XXXX and observe the dance. SCP-XXXX-B appears to make quick, pleading glances towards any human in the audience, while SCP-XXXX-A remains neutral.

Addendum-XXXX-01: Significant deviations by SCP-XXXX-B.

Date Deviation
1/29/20██ SCP-XXXX-B did not rise from its crouched position at 2:██ for 14 seconds. After that time, it rose and returned to its standard movements.
3/18/20██ SCP-XXXX-B did not circle SCP-XXXX-A at 1:██, instead moving to the back of the stage. It did not return to standard movements until 21 seconds later.
4/25/20██ SCP-XXXX-B did not enter the stage until 20 seconds after the beginning of the song, as opposed to its standard immediate entry. When it entered, it appeared to have been dragged onstage by an unseen force.
5/22/20██ At 0:██, SCP-XXXX-B stayed in the wing of the stage instead of moving back out to continue its movements. It stayed in the wing until its first fall, where it fell out of the wing and returned to its standard movements.
7/15/20██ SCP-XXXX-B did not move to its ending position, instead staying on the opposite side of the stage. It watched as SCP-XXXX-A continued its movements, and its facial expression conveyed intense pain. SCP-XXXX-B returned to its starting position without deviation upon the start of the next cycle.
8/31/20██ SCP-XXXX-B did not rise after its first fall, instead staying facedown on the stage. SCP-XXXX-A continued to dance as though SCP-XXXX-B was still participating, although it glared at SCP-XXXX-B whenever it was facing the other instance. SCP-XXXX-B rose after 28 seconds, quickly returning to its standard movements. Noticeable tear tracks were on its face, however they disappeared upon the start of the next cycle.
10/05/20██ SCP-XXXX-B pushed SCP-XXXX-A instead of locking arms with it at 3:██. SCP-XXXX-A was observed to deviate from its standard movements4, shifting its stance in order to not collapse.

Addendum-XXXX-02: Incident-XXXX-0█

On 12/27/20██, SCP-XXXX-B fell off the stage during its standard movements at the edge. This caused SCP-XXXX-A to immediately halt its movements for 10 seconds, before running to the edge of the stage and staring down at SCP-XXXX-B. SCP-XXXX-B lay immobile on its side for 30 seconds before slowly sitting up and making eye contact with SCP-XXXX-A, an expression of shock on its face. The two stayed in place for 42 seconds before SCP-XXXX-B stood up and sprinted towards the doors of SCP-XXXX, pushing them open and disappearing immediately after exiting. SCP-XXXX-A's expression changed from displeasure to severe anger, before it disappeared 17 seconds after SCP-XXXX-B's disappearance.
