SCP-XXXX |
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be contained in a standard combination lockbox with the security code only known to level 3 personnel. Only level 2 personnel with authorisation from one level 3 personnel can experiment with SCP-XXXX.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a Nintendo Game Boy Micro in a moderate state of disrepair. The faceplate (protective screen) has been damaged and been reattatched with tape, there is a considerable amount of dust and dirt under the faceplate, the headphone slot is nonfunctional, the LED lights in the 'Select' and 'Start' buttons do not function, and sound produced by the console is slightly muffled with a small amount of static. The charging port has also been damaged via physical attack with a small, sharp object, most likely a screwdriver. However, due to SCP-XXXX's properties, it does not need charging. All attempts to dismantle the object or remove the tape have been unsuccessful.
SCP-XXXX was recovered in ██████, Britain, after a resident had commited suicide via slicing his own jugular vein with a knife. Police reported that SCP-XXXX was present on a table in the kitchen where the victim had comitted suicide, making very faint but audible laughing and cackling noises, and also displaying the message "He looked too far. >:)". The police report was intercepted by Agent ████, the police reports were removed and replaced with false evidence, all police members involved in the investigation were given class B amnesiacs, and SCP-XXXX was recovered without incident.
When a Game Boy Advance cartridge is inserted and turned on, SCP-XXXX functions as a normal Game Boy Micro, except with the hindrances stated above. It can run with no problematic issues for around 50 to 60 minutes until it ceases to function, afterwards needing 8 hours to recharge. It does not function during this charging period.
SCP-XXXX's anomalous effects begin to occur approximately 15 minutes whilst being used. Anyone using the object for its intended purpose feel a compulsion to look under the lower-left part of the faceplate, which is noticeably not as well secured down as the rest of the faceplate. Due to the compulsion being weak, it can easily be overcome with some effort. The compulsion gradually becomes stronger the longer the object is used, but is is never completely overwhelming. Motivation for looking under the faceplate seems to generally be that it is 'annoying' or 'uncomfortable'. Subjects who play games on SCP-XXXX comment that the game feels 'hollow', 'dark' or 'bleak', however there is no noticeable difference between playing a game on SCP-XXXX and another Nintendo Game Boy Micro console.
Reports of what subjects see tends to very, however the most common encounter is a portion of a face (usually the eyes and top portion of the nose) looking at the subject, with either crimson red or milky white eye with a black outline. Subject's reactions are mostly fear, shock, and confusion, but in 100% of cases all reactions cause the subject to remove the faceplate's opening from their gaze, either through recoiling their head, closing their eyes, or dropping the object. Short-term side-effects include but are not limited to paranoia and auditory hallucinations comprised of inaudible whispering and childish giggling. These side effects subside within 30 to 60 minutes. This starts the first stage of 'infection'. Infection by SCP-XXXX progresses in predictable 'stages' as follows:
Stage 1 - 5-7 days after exposure. Characterised by hallucinations of a humanoid face (classified as SCP-XXXX-1) 'peering' out from behind corners, or through gaps or small spaces. SCP-XXXX-1 generally appears for no longer than one second at a time; common features reported by subjects include either ash black or milky white skin, large canine teeth, and eyes matching the description of those of the entity already perceived by the subject. No additional anomalous effects manifest at this stage, though subjects often report feelings of being watched and often develop paranoid tendencies.
Stage 2 - 4-5 days after onset of Stage 1. Subjects' hallucinations become more severe, with SCP-XXXX-1 appearing more clearly and for longer. During these periods of hallucination, subjects report complete paralysis, rendering interaction with the hallucinations impossible. Auditory hallucinations of inaudible whispering occur for between 20 and 30 seconds afterwards. Afflicted subjects' also shiver constantly, develop alalia syllabaris (a verbal stutter), and their body temperature also decreases by █°, though this does not typically cause injury.
Stage 3 - 4-5 days after onset of Stage 2. Length of paralysis experience becomes longer and SCP-XXXX-1 is typically accompanied by several thin, thumbless hands seen in motion or caressing SCP-XXXX-1's head. Subjects report a noticeable change in light levels during these episodes, with ambient lighting dimming or brightening to contrast with SCP-XXXX-1's colour. Afflicted subjects' verbal stutters become much worse, making it almost impossible for them to speak at all, and all subjects shiver and twitch constantly and more severely, making written and typed communication also next to impossible. All subjects who have reached this state have contracted severe hypothermia, with their internal body temperature dropping ██°. Said hypothermia is the main cause of death at this point, however if a subject is able to successfully enter the first stages of sleep, they awake immediately, claiming that SCP-XXXX-1 [DATA EXPUNGED]. If an infected subject dies in this state, SCP-XXXX will display a message (see Log SCP-XXXX-01).
Stage 4 - as of ██/██/████ only two D-class subjects have survived long enough to enter stage 4. The infected subject - now classified as SCP-XXXX-2 - experiences physical transformation; their internal organs become coated with a combination of solid water, mercury, and ████████ , which protects the subject's organs from the normally fatal internal temperatures. During this stage, all instances of SCP-XXXX-2 enter either a cross-legged or lotus position, keeping their eyes shut. If questioned about their actions, SCP-XXXX-2 claims that they are 'attaining clarity' in order to 'become his/her vessel' . After an undetermined amount of time, the SCP-XXXX-2 will remove all clothing and then slowly open their eyes. By now, the subject's eyes seem to match their description of SCP-XXXX-1. Instances of SCP-XXXX-2 will stand in place until a healthy human makes eye contact, whereupon it will run towards them and proceed to emit [DATA EXPUNGED] before expiring from fatal cardiac arrest and hypothermia. At this point, SCP-XXXX has been observed to briefly activate, displaying a blank grey screen. The secondary subject will enter a state of catatonia - medical scans indicate brain activity corresponding to fear and shock. Two previously healthy D-class subjects were exposed to attack by SCP-XXXX-2 in this way - one entered Stage 2 of infection and died upon reaching Stage 3. The other victim [DATA EXPUNGED].
On ██/██/███, a Nintendo DS Rumble Pack with a bandaid covering the front side, with the word 'ANSWER' written on the bandaid in rough handwriting arrived in Dr. █████'s office, who was researching SCP-XXXX at the time. It is unknown how the object arrived or was placed there. Despite being made with intention for function only with a Nintendo DS, the cartridge (herby SCP-XXXX-A) does fit into Nintendo Game Boy Advance's and variations, including SCP-XXXX. SCP-XXXX-A is not recognised by any Nintendo consoles, however when inserted into SCP-XXXX and the power is turned on, the following text is displayed: [Moved to Log SCP-XXXX-02]

SCP-XXXX-A |
What a waste.
:o
Not worthy. Not at all.
Serves the [EXPLETIVE] right.
He died like a bitch.
She died like the whore she was.
Aw, and I was so certain he [CONTENT EXPUNGED]
Isn't it strange how the most innocent of things can contain untold horror just around the corner?
Inside. Behind.
Don't be afraid. Just accept it as it is.
No other effects occur appart from the message looping the afformentioned text.
Test A - ██/██/███
Subject: D-54693
Procedure: Subject was physically restrained through the use of [REDACTED], and forced to look into the lower-left area of the faceplate
Results: Subject showed extreme anxiety and begged the staff members present to let him go.
Analysis: Subject remained unresponsive for 34 minutes, and showed symptoms similar to PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder] afterwards. Subject terminated.
Test B - ██/██/███
Subject: D-49452
Procedure: Identical to Test A
Results: Subject was visibly shocked for 4.4 seconds after exposure, and began screaming and wailing unceasingly afterwards.
Analysis: No change in subject behaviour. Subject terminated.
Test C - ██/██/███
Subject: D-67544
Procedure: Identical to Test A and B
Results: Subject remained showed no reaction until after 8 seconds, where she entered a catatonic state for approximately 23 minutes, during which her eyes began moving extremely rapidly and randomly, and after which she contracted Stage 2 of 'infection'.
Analysis: Subject survived for 6 days, during which was unresponsive to any outside stimulus. On final day, subject contracted stage 3 of 'infection', and died of severe hypothermia.
Test D - ██/██/███
Subject: 1 domesticated dog
Procedure: Identical to Test A, B, and C, with [REDACTED] modified to accommodate the dog's size.
Results: Subject was visibly startled, began whining and barking, and attempted to break free from [REDACTED].
Analysis: Subject was moderately unresponsive to outside stimulus for 2 days, and gradually resumed normal behaviour afterwards. Subject's behaviour did not change for another 2 weeks. Subject terminated.

May come back to this later
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures:
Mobile Task Force Phi-3 "Blood Red Sandman" is tasked with locating instances of SCP-XXXX and contain or neutralize them as deemed appropriate. Any contained instances in Stage One of infection are to be administered class █ amnesiacs and released, whereas contained instances in a higher stage of infection are to be terminated except for testing, in which case they are to be placed in a standard soundproofed humanoid containment sell with one (1) security camera with no sound support.
Mobile Task Force Phi-3 "Blood Red Sandman" is tasked with locating instances of SCP-XXXX and contain, neutralize, or administer amnesiacs as deemed appropriate. Amnesiacs only seem to function 100% of the time on victims with Stage One of infection, and therefore victims in higher stages of infection are to be neutralized except for testing, in which case they are to be placed in a standard soundproofed humanoid containment cell with one (1) standard security camera with no sound support.
SCP-XXXX is currently contained in █████, North Lincolnshire under the guise of
Something good, no doubt. 3 Security guards are to be stationed at all entrances to deter contained instances leaving and deter intruders. If intruders attempt to breach security and enter █████, they are to be subdued and detained for questioning.
Instances that are contained for testing are to be placed in a standard soundproofed humanoid containment cell with one (1) security camera with no sound support.
SPECIAL CONTAINMENT PROCEDURES REVISION THINGY: Due to the appearance of instances of SCP-XXXX appearing outside of the initial containment area, Mobile Task Force Phi-3 "Blood Red Sandman" has been created to administer amnesiacs, contain and neutralize instances of SCP-XXXX as deemed appropriate.
Description: SCP-XXXX is the term for something I can't put into words because my brain is dead, but I will damn well try.
SCP-XXXX was located in [REDACTED], United Kingdom, after a sudden hysteria of the local civilian population experiencing lucid dreams and false awakenings. Emergency Class █ Airborne amnesiacs were deployed and ██ instances of SCP-XXXX were contained, and media knowledge was successfully suppressed. However, one (1) week later, there was a resurgence of SCP-XXXX in [REDACTED] as well as the surrounding area. Procedure 550-███████ was initiated and SCP-XXXX is now confined to █████, North Lincolnshire. This NEEDS to be better.
SCP-XXXX is the term for a unique series of lucid dreams that are transmitted via vocalisation. SCP-XXXX takes place in 4 distinct stages:
- Stage One: An infected mammalian creature human infected with SCP-XXXX (hereby the victim) who sleeps begins to experience vivid lucid dreams. These experiences apparently do not differ from 'normal' lucid dreams. This stage lasts for approximately 1 week.
- Stage Two: The victim begins to loose control over the lucidity of the dreams, and the general surrealism expected of dreaming starts to diminish, becoming replaced with events that would occur regularly in the victim's life. Change in behavior may occur, such as minor depression and confusion, (need more effects or something) however this is not always the case. This stage lasts for approximately 4 to 6 days.
- Stage Three: The victim's dreams are completely replaced with his/her 'regular' life, with no surrealism or lucidity being present in any of the victim's dreams. A secondary effect also manifests: Stage 3 Victims, during conversation, upon saying one of several phrases has a chance to affect everyone within earshot with SCP-XXXX. Contracting SCP-XXXX can only be prevented if the phrase is not heard coherently, such as not being understood as speech. This means that even if the phrase is said in a foreign language, it can still be contagious. See Addendum XXXX-01 for a recorded list of phrases. During stage 3, a division in victims can be seen:
- Type One: Type One victims (hereby 'Dreamers') become more aware in their dreams and acknowledge the fact that their dream world is artificial. However, Dreamers begin to have several false awakenings, sometimes several in a single sleeping session. Being killed in these false awakening sessions activates another false awakening, regardless of how many times the dreamer is killed. Suicide has the same effect. No deviation in brain activity is detected. Dreamers either become withdrawn, depressed, exhibit suicidal tendencies and neuroticism, and on █ different recorded occasions, [DATA EXPUNGED]. A portion of Dreamers also become hyperactive with homicidal tenancies, and attempt to prove their own reality at any given moment. I'll probably need more on this.
- Type Two: Type Two victims (hereby 'Sleepers') loose awareness in their dreams and in 100% of cases fail to see the difference between dreaming and the real world. If questioned, they will claim not to have had the dreams, referring only to Stage one and Stage two of infection, claiming they stopped having them, and not being able to remember any other dreams. Sleepers do not experience any change in behavior even inside their dreams due to the full belief that the 'world' they are in is real.
- Stage Four: Both cases of Stage 3 last for 2-3 days. At this point, stage 3 Dreamers and Sleepers progress into their respective Stage 4 stage of infection. Type One (Dreamers) progress into Type One-X (Wakers), and Type Two (Sleepers) progress into Type Two-X (Escapists). PLEASE SOMEONE GIVE ME BETTER NAMES JESUS CHRIST GFUIGJF7GJ
- Type One-X: Type One-X Victims (hereby 'Wakers') are now fully aware that they are dreaming whilst they are dreaming, and suffer from up to ██ false awakenings in a single sleep session. All Wakers attempt to prove their own reality constantly, and develop communication addiction disorder (if they did not have it already), and constantly mutter contagious phrases. I need much more on this. No additional brain activity is detected during sleep, and sleep lasts as long as normal.
- Type Two-X: Type Two-X Victims (hereby 'Escapists') live a complete life inside their own dreams, lasting several years. Inside their dreams, escapists have no recollection of their current 'real' life, and believe their dream world to be entirely factual. Upon awakening, 33% of Escapists instantly recall their 'real' life (contrary to their previous state), 56% of Escapists loose all knowledge of their 'real' life, having it completely replaced by their dream world, and the remaining 9% experience [DATA EXPUNGED] to all within earshot.
Addendum XXXX-01 Testing has proven that Victims in Stage 2 of infection are only affected by amnesiacs ██% of the time, and therefore amnesiacs are deemed not an acceptable means of containing Stage 2 victims.
I should quit while I'm ahead. So I did.
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe Euclid (See Incident XXXX-A)
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to contained in a
10x10x10 padded containment cell with no furnishings, and restrained via straitjacket at all times. If SCP-XXXX manages to break his bindings, an on-site security guard one D-class personnel is to enter the containment cell and replace the subject's jacket. If SCP-XXXX becomes abnormally uncooperative or violent during said replacement, two unarmed security guards are to restrain the subject to allow easier replacement. All personnel who enter SCP-XXXX's containment chamber are to be searched for any weapons or-weapon-like implements.
Description: SCP-XXXX appears to be a hairless, pale-skinned man of indeterminate race, with no visible pupils or irises. Despite this, Subject has apparently normal eyesight.
SCP-XXXX general behaviour involves roaming around the area it is located, whilst constantly muttering about needing sleep and it's difficulty doing so. If SCP-XXXX locates an object or implement that could be used as a weapon, it will attempt to obtain it. Whilst it may use violent means to do so, in this state it does not pose a large threat, due to its sluggish and drowsy nature, and can simply be pushed over or aside with little resistance. SCP-XXXX will give up on obtaining the object approximately 5 minutes after it is removed from its line of sight.
If SCP-XXXX succeeds in obtaining a weapon or weapon-like implement, it will find a secluded area (or the corner if a room if none are available) and repeatedly self harm via any means. With sharp or bladed implements, such as combat knives, cleavers, pencils or culinary equipment, SCP-XXXX will attempt to cause damage to its hands, fingers, abdomen, knees, ankles, and toes via slicing, stabbing, or amputation of the area. Doing so may take some time due to its drowsy nature and the nature of the weapon.
SCP-XXXX's Self-inflicted wounds apparently do not harm it; whilst physical harm is fully visible, they do not bleed or appear cause SCP-XXXX any pain. In the cases of amputated (self inflicted or otherwise), the affected area will seemingly 'float in place', as if it were still connected to the main body. Amputated body parts still seemingly function as normal.
Blegh I'll come back to this later.
