Incident Log 1210-1: On // , an emission event occurred while 
two (2) research personnel were in open water on a small power 
boat. Foundation patrol ship SCPS Treska received a panicked 
distress signal that was shortly cut off. Upon investigation, the 
Treska discovered the shredded hull of the power boat, with 
puncture damage consistent with the teeth from a C. megalodon. 
Additional Foundation assets are being considered to deal with the 
possibility of extinct or otherwise anomalous wildlife as a result of 
SCP-1210's emission events.

SCP-1211: King in the Castle 


Item #: SCP-1211 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: A perimeter of 50 meters is to 
be maintained around SCP-1211 at all times. Any civilians 
approaching this perimeter are to be redirected away from the site 
with fabricated reports of danger in and around the structure. No 
male personnel over the age of 35 are to be allowed to enter the 
premises under any circumstances. 


Description: SCP-1211 is the dilapidated ruin of a castle, 10 
kilometers outside the city of , Ireland. Only the first floor and 
basement of the structure remain in functional condition, the upper 
three floors having eroded and collapsed at indeterminate points in 
the castle's past. Initially, it was thought that any person entering 
SCP-1211 would be subject to its effect, though testing has proven 
that only males age 35 and older are affected. The reason for this is 
thought to be related to the terms of eligibility for kingship in Ireland 
at the time of the castle's construction. 


Within minutes of entering SCP-1211, any male at least 35 years old 
(See the Testing Log for correlation between the effect of SCP-1211 
and Irish descent) will be immediately convinced that he is the 
rightful heir to an imagined throne, owner of the castle, and "lord of 
all lands as far as the eye can see,"! refusing to leave the premises, 
even under threat of lethal force. The cause of these delusions is 
unclear, though the effect appears to be much more pronounced in 
individuals of Irish descent. Subjects of exclusively Irish lineage may 
even attempt to subjugate any personnel in their vicinity; these 
attempts have occasionally resulted in fatalities and should be 
treated as serious assaults on Foundation staff. 


If left on-site for extended periods, affected subjects will begin to live 
more and more in a fantasy where they are a king during a time of 


war, pacing the interior hallways of SCP-1211 and whispering to 
themselves in the Irish language, even in cases where the subject 
had no knowledge of Irish before coming into contact with 
SCP-1211. Translations of such speech have proven it to be mostly 
threats of violence against imagined “rival clans” and imagined 
scenarios of what the subject would do should any man challenge 
his right to be king. 


If left on-site for long enough, subjects will begin to age rapidly. After 
three weeks of exposure to the castle's effect, a man of 35 years will 
have visibly aged to approximately 80 years. Physical deterioration 
is difficult to measure after this point, as it continues to accelerate at 
a different rate for each subject. After one month, some subjects are 
observed to experience rotting of the skin, muscle tissue, and 
general deterioration of the skeletal structure; others can take 
multiple months to reach this point. At no time has any subject 
expressed need of food, water, or sleep during this process, and no 
subject has ever died of old age while affected by SCP-1211. 


A subject that has deteriorated to such an extent that he can no 
longer pace the halls of SCP-1211 will invariably make for its 
basement and collapse there, still alive, at which point the walls will 
begin to build themselves around the subject. Any murmuring 
observed after this point will consist only of the Irish word for 
"happy" again and again. All subjects cease to vocalize at all soon 
after this event. 


Addendum 1211-001: Dr. Davidson's research team has noted a 

10% increase in surface area in the remaining portion of the second 
floor. Weekly measurements are to be taken as testing continues on 
SCP-1211 and any further changes are to be reported immediately.

Test A - 05/26/19 


Subject: D-1355, 36 years of age, native to 
, Ireland 

Procedure: Subject is equipped with a 

handheld transceiver and camera with a live 

feed to the research team's base of 


operations. Subject is instructed to enter and 
explore the ruins. 

Audiovisual Log: 

“View is of a long, dark hallway. Few details 
are discernible.* 

D-1355: Fuck, it's creepy in here. 

Dr. Davidson: We're not getting as much as 
we should be on the video feed. Try to focus 
the lens. 

“Subject can be heard fiddling with buttons on 
the camera.* 

D-1355: Is that better? 

Dr. Davidson: We're making a note of the 
unusual darkness. Continue on. 

*A large hall becomes visible. Much of the 
ceiling is missing, yet the video feed remains 
too dark to discern much detail.* 

Dr. Davidson: D-1355, what do you see? 
We're still not getting much on the feed. 
D-1355: It's so beautiful... or it used to be, at 
least... 

Dr. Davidson: What is it? Report what you 
see immediately. 

*Subject does not reply for slightly over one 
minute.* 

D-1355: *Murmuring* 

Dr. Davidson: Speak up, son. What do you 
see in there? 

D-1355: It's mine... 

Dr. Davidson: What? What's yours? 
D-1355: It's all mine... They'll never get it... 
Dr. Davidson: You aren't making any sense. 
Explain yourself at once or we'll terminate you 
and get somebody else. 

*D-1355 remains unresponsive, muttering to 
himself. The camera is abruptly dropped.* 
“The camera continues to record for 3 
subsequent hours, during which time D-1355 
slowly wanders in and out of the hall. At the 2 
hour mark, a scream is heard from outside the 


hall in a language that none of the researchers 
speak. The last hour of footage is similar to the 
first 2 hours.* 


Research note: SCP-1211 seems to somehow alter the 
mindset of those who enter it. I'm requesting permission 
to experiment further. -Dr. Davidson

SCP-1212: Irresponsible Competition 


Item #: SCP-1212 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1212 is kept ina 5m x 5m 
x 3m containment cell at Site- . Experimentation may only be 
performed with prior permission from at least two (2) Level 3 
personnel, and the room is to be cleared of any residual body fluids 
or other detritus immediately after testing. 


Any instances of SCP-1212 discovered within SCP-3311 are to be 
immediately be moved to Site- for long term storage. 


Description: SCP-1212, while not in use, is a simple wooden bar 
stool with a height of 74 cm and seat dimensions of 38 x 38 cm. It 
does not possess any abnormal physical qualities other than a faint 
odor of alcohol, and there are no maker's marks or other identifying 
features present. When any living, mentally sound human being 
older than fifteen (15) years of age sits on SCP-1212, two 
occurrences of abnormal activity can be immediately observed: 


¢ SCP-1212, while leaving the occupant unaffected, changes 
shape almost instantaneously; separate iterations have 
been observed (with none repeating), including: 


© ashiny metallic bar stool with bright red plastic seat 

© arude wooden stool which appeared to have been 
painted very poorly with black paint 

© asmooth sandstone chair elegantly carved with 
unfamiliar square symbols which have as yet been 
unable to be conclusively identified 

© alow, square stool engraved with cloud motifs believed 
to resemble those manufactured in the late Chinese 
Qing Dynasty 


¢ The occupant appears to experience a full sensory 
hallucination and is no longer able to sense what is occurring 
around them in reality, while being completely unable to be 
removed from SCP-1212 (even using extreme methods; see 
Addendum 1212-A). 


The occupant of SCP-1212 is then heard speaking to someone, but 
all attempts to record the other half of the conversation have so far 
failed. Usually, it becomes apparent that the occupant (hereafter 
referred to as 'the contestant’) has been invited to participate in a 
drinking contest, and the contest begins regardless of acceptance or 
refusal of the invitation. All surviving subjects agree that the 
invitation includes two phrases similar in content to, "You must drink 
with me, in memory of those who sat where you sit and lacked the 
strength to understand their limits," and "We must curse those who 
were weak, and honor those who were strong." Sometimes, the 
contestant is spoken to in a language they do not understand, 
attempts made to bridge the communication barrier fail, and events 
proceed as normal. The contestant then, willingly or forcibly, 
appears to mime the following actions in sequence: taking a 
container of liquid from a surface in front of them; placing it to their 
lips; drinking its contents in one smooth motion; then slamming the 
container back down onto the surface. There is always a period of 
between thirty (30) and fifty (50) seconds between each sequence, 
presumably as the contestant waits his or her ‘turn’. The contestant 
is always capable of speech, but is always interrupted by the 
drinking action - no interference of any kind appears to be possible. 


Despite no actual liquid passing between the contestant's lips, they 
slowly begin to exhibit effects normally associated with alcohol 
intoxication, and as each sequence continues, the effects of 
intoxication become more and more severe. Nausea, slurring of 
speech and drooping of the eyelids and other facial features are 
usually the first in evidence, followed by bodily swaying, choking and 
vomiting. None of the mentioned effects appear to prevent the 
contestant from participating further - some contestants have even 
appeared to cease vomiting for the exact amount of the time it takes 
to take another drink, before resuming said oral expulsion of liquids. 
Subsequent testing of these liquids and the bloodstream of the 
contestants has revealed no alcoholic substances were ever 


present. The ‘drinking’ continues even after the contestant is seen to 
visibly suffer the effects of severe alcohol poisoning, usually typified 
by unconsciousness, limpness of body and occasional shuddering. 
Posture is still maintained, with no interruption to the miming actions. 


The contest will only end when one of two conditions are met: 


* A period of time elapses that is no less than one (1) hour in 
length, with an average of one (1) drink per minute; of the 
tests undertaken by the Foundation, only contestants 
survived long enough to reach this point, and 95% of that 
group were unconscious (see Document 1212-B12). 
SCP-1212 then reverts to its normal shape, and will no longer 
react to the presence of the contestant. 


Alcohol poisoning causes all bodily functions to shut down, 
resulting in death. Upon cessation of heartbeat, the contestant 
is released from SCP-1212 and falls to the floor. SCP-1212 
then returns to its dormant shape and size. 


Addendum 1212-A - Interruption 


It has been proven physically impossible to interrupt the 
contest once it has begun; this includes outside 
termination of the contestant by any means. Any wounds 
sustained that are not part of SCP-1212's effect are 
simply ignored, fatal or otherwise; notably, in the case of 
Test 1212-0 , the contestant appeared to continue 
miming the actions of drinking with both arms severed 
neatly just below the shoulder - the cut was visible, but 
there was no evidence of bleeding, pain or lack of 
function. When the contest ended and the contestant 
released from its effect, both appendages immediately 
fell off, causing extreme pain and cardiac arrest resulting 
in death. 


Addendum 1212-B - Test 1212-0 1 


Subject: D-392010; male, Caucasian, 21 years 
Test Supervisors: Dr.T ,Dr.S 
Date: / /20 


Dr.S_ : Sit down on the stool, D-class, and 
then describe what you see. You won't be able 
to hear us, but we will certainly hear you. 


(D-392010 slowly sits down on the stool. 
Almost immediately, the stool lowers by nearly 
half a meter and transforms into a bar stool 
made of shiny metal and plastic. D-392010 
becomes visibly shaken.) 


D-392010: What the.. uh, is this supposed to 
happen? I'm in some sort of.. dive bar, | 
dunno, some guy across from me is looking at 
me funny and there's a crowd here, | don't- 


(D-392010 appears to survey his 
surroundings, mouth agape, and then tilts his 
head as if listening to someone.) 


D-392010: You want to what? Drink me under 
the table? You wish, buddy! (D-392010 breaks 
out into a huge grin, and laughs.) This is 
gonna be one hell of a test, | can tell. You're 
on. 


[REDACTED] 


Dr.T |: Ten minutes in.. looks like he's 
holding up well, but he can barely speak.. | 
don't think he's realized yet. 


(D-392010 is swaying back and forth, grinning 
manically while consuming each invisible 
drink.) 


D-392010: W-whoa, buddy, you just d-don't 
sstop, do you.. Do you think we c-can take a 
break of a few mininutes or something? No? 
To hell with you, p-pal, I'll stop wwhen | want 
t-.. Hey.. 

(D-392010 begins to struggle, but his arm 


appears to move by its own accord, forcing 
him to take another drink.) 


D-392010: The fuck is happ-(gulps down a 
drink) hhappening to me.. the fuck is this, | 
don't.. Somebody, pplease stop this, | don't 
want to keep going, you've won, buddy.. W- 
what the fuck do you mean, "The contest is 
underway"? Hey, hey, doc! Gget me out of 
here! T-this is just a freaky illusion or 
something, right? Get me-(chokes, but keeps 
drinking) Augh, this sshit is foul.. 


(D-392010 continues threatening Foundation 
personnel and attempts resisting the test, but 
cannot stop ‘drinking’. He begins gibbering 
irrationally, flailing his head side to side, back 
and forth when not compelled to take another 
shot. After several minutes, he begins vomiting 
a light brown mixture of lumpy liquid.) 


D-392010: (screaming) GOD, MAKE IT STOP, 
YOU WIN, YOU WIN, FFUC- (vomits, pauses 
to take a drink, then resumes vomiting) 


[REDACTED] 


(D-392010 is unconscious and jerking back 
and forth involuntarily. His jumpsuit pants are 
soaked from the waist down, the floor under 
the stool now covered with various 
substances. He continues to mime drinking.) 


[REDACTED] 


(An unconscious, visibly reddened D-392010 
feebly jerks back and forth several times, 
before pausing in the act of mid-drink. Slowly, 
he keels over and falls off the stool, landing in 
a now large puddle of bodily fluid.) 


Dr.S_ : Time of expiration, fifty-two minutes, 
forty-seven seconds. 


(D-392010 twitches once more, before ceasing 
to move altogether. SCP-1212 reverts to its 
normal state, no traces of fluid on its wooden 
surface evident.)
