Item #: SCP-xx
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-xx should be monitored by security personnel, and all traffic should be redirected away from its location. Any trespassers or urban explorers should be administered amnestics.
Description: SCP-xx refers to an abandoned hospital in rural New York which experiences an annual anomalous event. The phenomenon takes place over a period of roughly nine months1, and is roughly the same during every occurrence.
SCP-xx-1 refers to docile hostile entities within SCP-xx which superficially resemble a harlequin fetus with sharp, elongated teeth which rest outside the mouth. Instances are able to climb vertical surfaces and have typically been observed on the ceiling of SCP-xx. They are normally sedentary, but when distressed, they can travel at speeds as high as 105 km/hr. Foundation personnel participating in exploration or research of SCP-xx should avoid instances of SCP-xx-1 if possible, as they appear to remain undetected in dark corners of SCP-xx and are quick to form packs if threatened.
UPDATE: Following the initial exploration of SCP-xx, instances of SCP-xx-1 have been observed to "molt" the patches on their skin, producing secondary entities (SCP-xx-2) which are able to sprout cilia for ambulatory purposes. This behavior has only been observed when SCP-xx-1 instances are experiencing extreme distress, such as when under attack by explorers or during the third trimester of an SCP-xx event (days 230-269). As such, it is theorized they evolved this ability as a hunting technique.
Exploration: While transcripts and video footage regarding the exploration were lost destroyed2, the autopsy of D-8845 remains. His cause of death was asphyxiation, and 236 unknown specimens3 were recovered from D8845's stomach, esophagus, throat, lungs, and mouth. ██ specimens were listed as missing the following day. They have yet to be recovered.
Timetable: A timeline of SCP-xx is outlined below for the benefit of researchers participating in further exploration and study of the events in question.
Day 1:
Item #: SCP-xx
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-xx is to be contained at Site-17 in a standard humanoid containment unit. SCP-xx may visit with off-duty staff if desired and is allotted two supervised three-hour periods a week in which it may socialize with other children its age, using the name "Daeshawn. Additionally, SCP-xx should be reminded to continue its breathing exercises and prescription medication.
Description: SCP-xx is a boy of African American descent, unremarkable in appearance. SCP-xx is able to anomalously produce instances of the family Culicidae4 during periods of extreme stress or extreme sadness.
Discovery Log: SCP-xx was recovered from █████████, Florida after a wellness check by Child Protective Services. Upon opening the door, CPS agents reported hundreds of thousands of mosquitoes exiting the house in a cloud. Initial exploration of the home revealed the body of K████ Morhurst5, whose cause of death was later determined to be asphyxia when ███ deceased specimens were removed from her throat.
SCP-xx was recovered in a catatonic state from an upstairs room containing a significantly higher concentration of mosquitoes than the rest of the house. The room contained furnishing typical of a child within SCP-xx's age range, with the only notable deviation being several indoor insect extermination devices clogged with dead mosquitoes. After successfully removing SCP-xx from the house, CPS officials noted the anomalous appearance of additional mosquitoes surrounding SCP-xx during regular intervals. Embedded Foundation personnel referred the case to Dr. Weiter, an expert in child psychology and treatment of PTSD.
Upon admission, SCP-xx was sedated by on-site security and Dr. Weiter was asked to perform patient intake. The first three sessions have been omitted from the record as they provided little information due to the exponentially increasing mosquito population.
Interviewed: SCP-xx
Interviewer: Dr. Thomas Weiter, child psychologist
Foreword: The following is a transcript of Dr. Weiter's first session with SCP-xx, wherein the former
Item #: SCP-xx
Object Class:
Special Containment Procedures: For scientific purposes, one instance of SCP-xx-1 is to be contained within a standard animal containment unit with airtight, triple-locked doors, and may be furnished with appropriate recreational items (climbing tunnels, scratchpads, toy mice, etc.).
Domestic house cats may be brought in for the purposes of socialization and mental health as they are immune to SCP-xx's effects. Such events must be supervised by a security detail in full body kevlar suits with secondary levels of protection around the legs. Should any personnel come into contact with the teeth, claws, or bodily fluid of an instance of SCP-xx-1, they are to be treated as highly infectious and quarantined immediately and scheduled for termination.
Description: SCP-xx is a highly contagious disease present in members of the Felis genus, especially Felis catus.6 To date, no symptoms have ever been observed in members of the Felis genus. However, when a member of the kingdom Animalia7 outside this genus contracts the disease (typically via a scratch, a bite, or contact with bodily fluids), they will become carriers and undergo the stages of infection.8 The infectee is asymptomatic after this process, and their behavior is consistent with typical house cats.
Below is a partial list of known or suspected species infected by SCP-xx as determined by Foundation researchers:
- B. musculus (blue whale);
- C. carcharias (great white shark);
- C. ████████ (SCP-███-73, -80, and -97);
- H. sapien (human, see below);
- L. africana (African bush elephant);
- L. terrestris (common earthworm);
- M. gallopavo (domestic turkey);
- M. musculus (house mouse)
Instances of SCP-xx-1 are theorized to also comprise of an estimated ███ D-class personnel, ██ Foundation personnel, and ███,███ civilians (see Discovery Log). Exact numbers are impossible to determine due to the manifestation of the infection.
Stages of Infection:
\\0:00 - 0:45:\\ Subject begins to feel ill
\\:\\ Subjects heavier than 4.5kg typically begin vomiting excessively. Subjects lighter than 3.5kg typically begin eating voraciously, gorging themselves until reaching a weight range of between 4-5kg.

Item #: SCP-3236-J
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: All known SCP-3236-J instances should be kept in a secure container at Site-31. Testing and research are prohibited without authorization from Level-4 personnel or higher.
Description: SCP-3236-J is a collection of seventeen oblong pink pills contained in a plastic container that features the remnants of a label made from masking tape, which reads "[UNINTELLIGABLE]ctor by dado"9.
When ingested, an instance of SCP-3236-J causes the individual's body to transform over a period of one to two hours. When this period ends, the individual's clothing and appearance resembles Robert ████10, including but not limited to pale skin; wild, uncombed hair; smeared lipstick; and black shirt and jeans.
Discovery Log: Foundation technical staff at Shiny Restricted High Secret Top Security MK-Ultra Fuck Whatever noticed an increased volume of long distance calls over a period of eight days. After checking the phone logs, they recovered an additional series of text messages sent to the aforementioned individual.

SCP-XXXX manifesting during a production of Hamlet starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. Attendees noted extravagant set design.
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: Foundation computers will run searches on various social media websites as well as public message boards centered around performances and community events. Search results will filter out performances with unusual or incorrect descriptions, low-profile and low-budget performances featuring high-profile performers, and those featuring persons known to be deceased. Results of these searches will be reviewed by researchers to verify manifestations of SCP-XXXX. If a manifestation is suspected, members of Mobile Task Force Kappa-14 ("Merely Players") will be dispatched to assess the situation and recover relevant data as well as any civilians if necessary.
Suppression of SCP-XXXX events will be handled on a case-by-case basis. Members of MTF Kappa-14 will collect accounts of the performance from a sample of attendees and compare discrepancies. Efforts to successfully record a XXXX-P Event are ongoing.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a cognitohazard affecting rural and suburban regions of the northeastern United States, as well as parts of Canada and the United Kingdom. During a XXXX-P event (see below), SCP-XXXX manifests as a production typically associated with the performing arts, such as a play, an opera, a concert, or similar example. During a manifestation of SCP-XXXX, nearby theaters and public message boards will display advertisements for the chosen production. In many cases, the advertisements will be for reasonably well-known productions featuring prominent figures in the chosen community, but it is not uncommon for manifestations to advertise non-existent works or feature performers who are either long dead or do not exist (see Incident Log).
When in an active state, SCP-XXXX will appear within a building11, hereafter referred to as the 'venue', and furnish it to appear as a local theater. Humanoid figures, collectively designated SCP-XXXX-1, will appear throughout the venue to staff concession booths or souvenir stands, perform maintenance and cleaning, direct attendees to their seating, and similar tasks. Instances of SCP-XXXX-1 are capable of speech, but will rarely engage in conversation outside of specific instances (see below).
XXXX-P Event: Performances linked to SCP-XXXX are varied in nature but tend to follow a similar pattern:
Stage 1
Attendees enter the venue currently hosting SCP-XXXX's production. They will comment to each other on how opulent and well-decorated the structure is. Descriptions vary from person to person, and will often change after multiple attendees share their descriptions. Employees can be seen conversing with those in attendance. Topics also vary, but often center around the expectations for the current production or what productions they would like to see in the future.
Stage 2
The house lights go down12 and the production begins. While the content varies between manifestations, each production is consistently described by most in attendance to be extremely expensive and of very high quality.
Stage 3
The first act ends and intermission begins13. As attendees stretch their legs and use the facilities14, employees of the venue can be observed engaging in conversation with them. Topics of discussion bear similarities to those from Stage 1, with added topics focusing on what attendees enjoyed from the first act.
Stage 4
The second act begins15. Stage 4 displays the highest degree of variation, with descriptions bearing significant differences between attendees, up to and including the first act of a completely different production.
Stage 5
Attendees leave the production venue. Employees will interact one final time with attendees to discern how satisfactory the presentation was. Attendees can sometimes be found wandering the surrounding area in a confused state.

Notes: This production strayed even further from the original 1998 Steven Sondheim/James Lapine musical than the film version, most notably by the inclusion of the inclusion of Elsa from Disney's 2013 animated film Frozen in a prominent supporting role. The deviations caused significant drops in audience attendance, resulting in the play closing after just five performances.

Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: All known instances of SCP-xxxx are contained in a locker at Site-19 for further study and potential weaponization by the Foundation. POI-9399 and POI-6926 are permanently incarcerated in low-priority containment at Site-17 on the recommendation of Dr. Allison Taylor. To prevent them from utilizing SCP-xxxx's anomalous properties to escape, they have been given a unique memetic kill agent set to activate if they travel more than 1km away from their containment zone.
Description: SCP-xxxx refers to a set of seventeen plastic badges sporting the logo of [REDACTED] College and the slogan 'Vote [REDACTED]16 for Student Council 2018!' across a background of the school's colors. These items were found in the possession of Pete Greenwood and Aaron Blount, later designated POI-9399 and POI-6926 respectively.
According to POI-9399, instances of SCP-xxxx respond to a specific set of thaumatic kinetographs which, when performed correctly, allow for a series of anomalous events to take place.17 The type of kinetograph performed determines which unique instance the user appears next to. POI-6926 demonstrated this procedure for researchers under controlled testing conditions in exchange for a lighter sentence,18 though no record of any such offer was recorded.
POI-9399
Interviewed: POI-9399
Interviewer: Dr. White
Foreword: After her interview with POI-9399 produced little but sexual remarks and racial slurs, Dr. Taylor transferred the patient to Dr. White in the hopes that her male colleague would succeed where she did not. Dr. White did successfully conduct several interviews with POI-9399, a sample of which is included below.

She had done everything right, but nonetheless, here she was, stumbling through a cornfield at two AM in the October chill. The rave was nearby, but the cute guy insisted they go into the cornfield for some privacy before… she couldn't remember. She couldn't remember how many drinks she'd had, couldn't remember where her roommate parked the car, couldn't remember what happened to her keys or wallet. What she did remember was what happened when she told him "no".
Her fingers curled around dirt and compost. She had been vertical a moment ago. When had that changed? She tried to stand back up but her legs wouldn't listen. Her legs felt like they'd been switched off like a lamp. Her arms still listened to her brain, and she tried to use them to pull herself up.
"There you are." The voice was concerned, but she felt a jolt go down her spine anyway. "I've been looking for you everywhere. Why'd you run off? We were just getting started." She felt hands lifting her up and found herself staring into the face of the cute guy she was trying to run away from.
She mumbled something when she felt the guy's lips on her neck. It didn't stop. She lifted weak hands to try and push him off her body. He intercepted them and pillowed her head with their entwined hands. She could feel her belt coming undone. Everything was happening all at once, and all she could do was stare blankly up at the sky and pretend to be anywhere else, pretend that this wasn't happening to her.
That was when the pink smoke appeared. She first noticed it snaking out from nearby stalks of corn and swirling around her body, wrapping around her like a blanket. He stopped when the smoke touched their faces and looked around in confusion.
"What the fu-" Before he could finish his obscenity, a low, throbbing beat began to thrum at them from all directions. It grew louder and louder, and as it did, she could hear other sounds behind it, sounds that almost resembled music. She saw him plug his ears with his hands and writhe on the ground next to her as the music got louder and faster.
Then the bass dropped.
She lost track of what was happening in the flood of colored lights and smoke that followed. Shapes blurred past her as she drifted in and out of consciousness on the ground, barely able to distinguish one from another. Voices and music and stomping feet mixed together in a cacophony pressing down around her, but there was one voice stat stood out loud and clear.
"Really? Come on man. Everyone was having a good ole consensual time and you had to go and ruin it. Such a shame. Rude as fuck to boot." Even through her rohypnol-induced haze, she could make out the florescent blue glow in the eyes of the floating pumpkin. The music that followed it couldn't have been coming from anywhere, but it got louder as the legs attached to pumpkin head's body inched closer. Its exaggerated movements reminded her of her high school marching band days, high-stepping across the parking lot in weather just like this. The increasing subdivision in the music's tempo made her heart keep time with the rhythm her feet would march in.
The memory had a soothing effect, and she let out the breath she wasn't aware she'd been holding. The pumpkin head lowered itself above her wide, drug-addled eyes, inches away from the cute raver. The music went quiet after reaching a crescendo. He put his hands down and stared at the pumpkin head. It stared back, silent despite the chattering voices around it.
"Boo."
The EDM and dubstep exploded around the pumpkin head like fireworks. She was no longer capable of reacting, but the sudden force of the music had him stumbling away from her as fast as the pants around his ankles would allow. He tried to push his way through the crowd and escape into anonymity, but the circle of bodies around the spectacle kept him firmly in the well-lit area in full view of everyone. By the time police arrived on the scene, they found him wandering the field, blood dripping from his busted ears.
The following is a letter which was delivered to retired agent Beatrix Maddox at her home in ████████, England with instructions to deliver it following the passing of Mother ████████. Maddox delivered the letter into Foundation custody, where it was delivered to Site-17 for storage. The letter has been scanned digitally, and a transcript appears below:
Dearest ██████,
I hope that, when you read this, you have grown into a creature of unimaginable perfection and awe-inspiring beauty, with butterflies, flowers, and jewels attending. I hope, at least, that you have grown, because if you are reading this letter, I am almost certainly dead, and it was almost certainly your father who was responsible.
I bear him little ill will. I think he loved me once, in his twisted, meager way. I might have loved him too, and we might have been happy in another time or place. He chose his side, I chose mine.
I named you for the flowers that bloom at the end of the world, my daughter, the flowers that your father helped nip in the bud.
Your mother,
Planter-of-Lilies
