"Little Misters" Vol. 2

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be contained within a standard humanoid containment cell at Site-19. SCP-XXXX is to be perscribed anti-depressants, and is to take them twice daily. No personnel with history of depression or attempted suicide are to come into contact with SCP-XXXX. SCP-XXXX is to be brought in for psychological analysis on a monthly basis. This analysis should be performed over microphone to prevent SCP-XXXX's effects from affecting the evaluator.

Description: SCP-XXXX is an adult Caucasian male, approximately 1.8 meters in height. A tattoo reading "Mr. Melancholy, from Little Misters ® by Dr. Wondertainment" can be found on its upper-right arm. SCP-XXXX has been diagnosed with clinical depression, and has never been recorded smiling, laughing, or showing any other signs of happiness during its time under the Foundation's attention. To date, SCP-XXXX has made no recorded suicide attempts.

Any persons coming within a 10 meter radius of SCP-XXXX will report having more lowered mood than usual. The severity of this change in mood varies between subjects. Those who have a mostly positive outlook on life become slightly more irritable, while those with a history of suicidal actions may attempt to take their own lives. All anomalous effects disappear as soon as subject moves more than 10 meters away from SCP-XXXX.

Any photos taken of SCP-XXXX become "anomalously dreary." Effects that can occur in photos include loss of coloration, lack of emotion in anyone in the picture, and abnormally cloudy skies. These properties will manifest, even if none of these effects are present during the image's initial shooting.


Addendum-XXXX-B: Transcript of an interview with SCP-XXXX:

Interviwed: SCP-XXXX
Interviewer: Dr. Sven Treabor
Foreword: During a monthly psychological analysis of SCP-XXXX, Psychological Researcher Sven Treabor interviewed SCP-XXXX in an attempt to get a better understanding of its anomalous effects.

Dr. Treabor: Hello, XXXX. How are you feeling?

SCP-XXXX: Still pissin' razor blades.

Dr. Treabor: Sorry to hear that. Say, have you noticed any changes since you began taking your medication?

SCP-XXXX: Didn't I just tell you? I feel like absolute shit!

Dr. Treabor: Okay, sorry. I'll move on.

[Dr. Treabor turns to the next page of his notebook.]

Dr. Treabor: So, how long have you been feeling like this?

SCP-XXXX: As long as I can remember. I've never felt happy, and I can't say I ever will.

Dr. Treabor: Do you take pleasure in anything?

SCP-XXXX: Nope.

Dr. Treabor: This may sound like an odd question, but… Do you enjoy feeling depressed?

SCP-XXXX: Oh, no! I understand completely! I'm just as confused as the lot of you are. And to answer your question, no. It's not that I like feeling sad, I just…

Dr. Treabor: Go on.

SCP-XXXX: I don't think I'm physically able to feel happy. It's like someone took the "happy gland" out of my brain.

Dr. Treabor: Please elaborate.

SCP-XXXX: Back in ████████, you know, where they found me, I would see people taking their kids to the park, walking out of sports bars, doin' all kinds of stuff that could be considered "fun." I remember always thinking to myself, "why are they able to be happy? What makes me so different from them?"

Dr. Treabor: Interesting. Can you tell me more?

SCP-XXXX: I could, but it probably wouldn't be much help to you shrinks.

Dr. Treabor: Well I'll tell you what. We'll give you a new medication, and send some people in to try to cheer you up.

SCP-XXXX: Well that's certainly an idea… Sure. Why not? I don't have much to loose anyway.


Addendum-XXXX-C: A list of experiments performed in attempt to produce a positive response from SCP-XXXX.


Addendum-XXXX-D: Partial transcript from audio recording of SCP-XXXX and SCP-1799 during their limited period of contact:

SCP-1799: So what do you think we are exactly?

SCP-XXXX: The hell if I know! All I know is that I came from some company run by a guy named Dr. Wondertainment.

SCP-1799: So you don't know any others like us?

SCP-XXXX: Well, I have this.

[SCP-XXXX produces a sheet of paper from somewhere on his person, and hands it to SCP-1799. SCP-1799 then proceeds to read the contents of the paper aloud.]

SCP-1799: Wow. You've just found yourself your very own "Little Mister." That's right. Everyone's favorite franchise of collectibles is back with series two. You can collect them all.

[Both SCP-XXXX and SCP-1799 are silent for approximately ten seconds]

SCP-XXXX: Well this is a bit awkward, isn't it?
