SCP-####

Item #: SCP-####

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-#### can be safely contained in a metal container suppurting its size. Male staff must not, under any circumstances, move closer than twenty (20) metres to SCP-####’s containment. If done so, they are to be searched by a female agent, in case some way was found to steal the object. Afterwards the male in question is to be moved to quarantine, for at least twenty-one (21) days and monitored by a female doctor. If he displays any signs of memetic contamination, quarantine will be kept up, until psychological clearance is received.

Further testing on SCP-#### has been prohibited.

Description: SCP-#### is a wooden mannequin commonly used for artistic purposes. Its body is consists of oakwood, while its joints and support beam are made of stainless steel. Both of SCP-####’s arms are missing from the shoulder, as well as its left shin and foot. Its anomalous properties will only manifest, when in contact with a male over the age of fifteen (15). If such an individual comes closer than about twenty (20) metres to SCP-####, he is likely to find a way to steal it. If questioned, he will only then seem to acknowledge his action. The object can be retrieved safely by a female agent to prevent further harm.

If SCP-#### finds itself for a long time in the presence of a male, he will fall in love with a woman in his vicinity over the course of twelve (12) days. He then will be referred to as SCP-####-A. He will develop strong skills in the subject of fine arts, even if he was previously completely untrained. SCP-####-A will state his age, eye and hair color incorrectly in this stage. After twenty-one (21) days of exposure SCP-####-A will kill with the woman with whom he fell in love by [redacted]. Then, he will proceed to paint a photorealistic picture of the crime scene, before committing suicide by [redacted]. This has so far been documented in almost every known case of exposure.

The object will be ignored during the whole time of exposure. On the 21st day it will animate and change posture into a lying pose. The murder will be carried out soon after.

SCP-#### was retrieved from field agent ███████, tasked to retrieve the object himself from a police station in ██████, ███ ███ ████. Unfortunately the agent could not be kept from killing his wife and then committing suicide. Three weeks prior, he had reported that no object by the description of SCP-#### could be retrieved.

Possession of the object can be traced back to the killing of a young woman in ██████. It is one of two cases (See addemdum, document 'Experiment ####-C'), in which the perpetrator has not committed suicide. He was locked away and later executed. The evidence logs do not mention a photorealistic painting being retrieved. Further details were destroyed two (2) years prior to containment in a fire and cannot be consulted.

Event ####-C-01 (Interview transcript) 06/15/██ 02 days prior to commencing experiment
Dr. ██████: Please state your name and age.
SCP-####-C: My name is [Data expunged], and I have seen fifty-four [54] years on this planet, Sir.
Dr. ██████: Thank you. Please state your eye and hair color.
SCP-####-C: I have brown eyes and black hair, although it got mixed up with some grey at my temples. Ahh, the price of aging.
Dr. ██████: Thank you. Please state your relationship to D-9060.
SCP-####-C: [Data expunged] – or by your terms D-9060 – is a fine woman, as far as I can tell from our short encounter. I look forward to seeing her again, as you seem fit, Sir.
Dr. ██████: Please explain your relationship to painting und paintings.
SCP-####-C: No ‘thank you’? Dear Sir, you hurt my feelings. I do appreciate the fine arts, although the brush is not for me. But I do like to play the violin. Music surpasses other artforms by transporting real feelings, or, as the great Friedrich Nietzsche would put it: ‘Without music, life would be a mistake’. Does my answer suffice?
Dr. ██████: Yes. Thank you, of course. That will be all for now.

Event ####-C-02 06/17/██ Day 01 of experiment
SCP-####-C and D-9060 have been moved together to isolated living quarters containing SCP-####. Again, it has been openly positioned on the night-stand. Art supplies have been provided and used by SCP-####-C to paint a still life of D-9060 while sleeping.

SCP-####-C and D-9060 have commenced to engage in sexual intercourse on a regular basis.

Event ####-C-05 06/29/██ Day 13 of experiment

Event ####-C-06 (Interview transcript) 07/02/██; Day 16 of experiment
Dr. ██████: Please state your name and age.
SCP-####-C: My name is [Data expunged] and I have just turned twenty-six (26).
Dr. ██████: Thank you. Please state your eye and hair color.
SCP-####-C: I have red hair and blue eyes. My mother always said they were the color of ice. ‘Fire and ice, that’s my little boy’, that’s what she always said.
Dr. ██████: Please state your relationship to D-9060.
SCP-####-C: I have grown quite fond of her and I would hate to see her removed from my vicinity. I would really hate that. She is mine.
Dr. ██████: Do you feel that this view might be a bit extreme?
SCP-####-C: ‘There is always some madness in love. But there is also always some reason in madness.’ another great quote that sums up our situation quite marvellously.
Dr. ██████: Thank you. Please talk about your affinity towards art.
SCP-####-C: As it turns out I was wrong about painting not being a thing for me. But then again, I’ve been painting all my life. How could I ever forget that?
Dr. ██████: Thank you that will be all.

Event ####-C-07 07/03/██ Day 17 of experiment
SCP-####-C and D-9060 seem to get along worse. Several verbal disputes have been recorded, although not as violent as displayed in the previous experiments. Several things were broken by SCP-####-C. Psychological evaluation states, that SCP-####-C uses this as a means of intimidation.

Event ####-C-08 07/07/██ Day 21 of experiment
SCP-#### has animated and taken up a lying pose. The change has been ignored by both test subjects.

Event ####-C-09 07/07/██ Day 21 of experiment
SCP-####-C has killed D-9060 in a violent outburst, following a minor argument, by [redacted].

Event ####-C-10 (Interview transcript) 07/07/██ Day 21 of experiment
Dr. ██████: Please state your name and age.
SCP-####-C: Can we not skip to the interesting part, already? You know my answers to your questions, Sir, don’t you?
Dr. ██████: Well…
SCP-####-C: You want to know why I did it.
Dr. ██████: Ehrm…yes. And please don’t use quotes.
SCP-####-C: But why not? Our dear friend has such great sayings for each occasion. Nihilism might even be what you are looking for, Sir. But I’m getting ahead of myself. ‘It is impossible to suffer without making someone else pay for it’. The quote might be a bit out of context, but it still applies wonderfully. In layman’s terms, [Data expunged] broke my heart. Sometimes we want to be something else than what is healthy for us. That said would you mind bringing me back? I have a painting to finish.
SCP-####-C refuses to answer any more questions and is moved back to the testing quarters. They have not been altered in the meantime.

Event ####-C-11 07/07/██ Day 21 of experiment
SCP-####-C has painted a photorealistic picture of the scene, but his behaviour differs from the other experiments. Intruding agents have found him perfectly calm and collected, playing the violin in front of the mortal remains of D-9060.

Event ####-C-12 (Interview transcript) 07/07/██ Day 21 of experiment
Dr. ██████: You…seem different than expected.
SCP-####-C: How so?
Dr. ██████: We expected…remorse. How do you…
SCP-####-C: Remorse? Haha, dear Sir, we have talked but merely a few hours ago. Did you really expect me to change my views in just this short speck of time?
Dr. ██████: Well…
SCP-####-C: No, no. I’m being unfair to you. You are conducting tests – that is quite obvious – and I display a different reaction than what you expected me to do. Isn’t it true? And you are disappointed, because it means that you don’t know nearly as much as you thought you did. Well, I wish you good luck in your further endeavours. Just one warning. A last quote, I promise. ‘Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.’ Good night, Dr. ██████.
SCP-####-C gets up and waits to be led outside.

Event ####-C-13 07/07/██ Day 21 of experiment
Experiment closed. Living quarters have been cleaned and two (2) new Class D personnel have been requested for further testing. SCP-#### has not been acknowledged by neither SCP-####-C nor D-9060 during the experiment. The object has taken up its original pose. SCP-####-C has been moved to a holding cell, in another facility.

A fire has erupted in the facility SCP-####-C has been held for further questioning. Twenty (20) class D personnel and one (1) Class C agent have been killed in the incident. SCP-####-Cs [redacted] and burned body has been found in his cell. The fire seems to have originated here.

Event ####-C-15 07/28/██ 21 days after experiment
Every member of the research team involved in experiments ####-A to C, including Dr. ██████, have been found to have committed suicide by the means of [redacted]. Photorealistic paintings of the experiments have been found in close vicinity to all of them, the number varying from two (2) to six (6), depending on the number of the experiments they were involved in. SCP-#### has been recorded to have taken up six (6) different poses of a lying human on the same day. The deaths will be covered up with a chemical accident at the facility. Amnestics have been issued to family and friends who found the bodies. Further testing has been suspended until further notice.:** [Small summary and passage on what transpired afterward]
