Interviewed: SCP-3371 

Interviewer: Dr. Ayoade 

Foreword: SCP-3371 had thus far spent its containment 
pacing the far wall, humming various unidentified songs, 
and attempting to scratch into its wooden flooring. 


[BEGIN LOG] 
Dr. Ayoade: Good afternoon. 


SCP-3371: (Bitterly) Is it? | couldn't tell, what 
with the lack of any natural light. I'm going to 
look awfully pale by the time | get out. 


Dr. Ayoade pauses to take notes. SCP-3371 
cranes its neck, attempting to read what he 
has written down. 


Dr. Ayoade: We'll see if we can do anything 
about that. 


SCP-3371: Hey, while you're at it- could | have 
a sketchbook and some pencils? Hell, a biro 
would be alright, actually. Just something to 
ease the boredom. 


Dr. Ayoade: My superiors have expressed 
concern over further creations gaining 
anomalous properties- so for now, I'm afraid 
the answer is no. 


SCP-3371 grumbles discontentedly. 


Dr. Ayoade: May | ask a few questions? 


Nothing particularly personal, just regarding 
your current state. 


SCP-3371: Blimey, if you must. | thought this 
was a prison. 


Dr. Ayoade: Understandably. To begin, what 
led you to the Tate Modern art gallery? What 
were your intentions? 


SCP-3371: If you're asking me about any big 
ulterior motives, you're out of luck. It just 
brought back some memories. 


Dr. Ayoade: Go on. 


SCP-3371 pauses, grinding its teeth as it 
thinks. 


SCP-3371: For The Love of God- from what 
I've been told, you're familiar with it- was put 
on display there way back in twenty-twelve. 
There's other places, of course, but it just 
stuck out to me as somewhere | needed to go. 
(A pause.) 


Dr. Ayoade: SCP-3371-2? What about that 
piece in particular did you find so attractive? 


SCP-3371: It's about art, and it's about money, 
you know? 'Greed will be the death of us’. 
That's something I've wanted to chase all my 
life, and that's the closest I've ever gotten. 
Well, until now, that is. 


SCP-3371 folds its arms, smiling toward Dr. 
Ayoade. 


Dr. Ayoade: I'm sorry- what do you mean by 
that? 


SCP-3371: You know, it's- what's the ultimate

never got his slice of the pie, Kafka kicked the 
fucking bucket before he was a household

Because you know what death does better 
than anything else? It makes people listen. It 
loosens up their wallets. | wanted that. | 
wanted to make people feel that. So | just sort 
of- 


SCP-3371 raises two fingers to its left temple, 
creating a mock ‘gunshot' sound with its 
mouth. 


- kch kch, boom. Popped my clogs. It's perfect. 
It's- it's the crux of everything | want to 
represent. It's my 'magnum opus’. 


Dr. Ayoade stares silently for a few seconds. A 
long sigh can be heard before he speaks 
again. 


Dr. Ayoade: | think we'll stop there. Any 
special requests before we finish up? 


SCP-3371: Get my skeleton up on display 
somewhere. Gilded.

SCP-3372: A Betrayer's Retribution and Quite the 
Earful 


Item #: SCP-3372 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3372-A and B are to be 
stored in separate Safe-class containment lockers in Site-22. 
Testing with SCP-3372-A requires level 3 clearance. Testing with 
SCP-3372-B requires level 4 clearance. Tests on SCP-3372-A and 
SCP-3372-B may not be performed simultaneously. 


The Ethics Committee has approved surgical perforation of the 
tympanic membrane for SCP-3372-B test subjects requesting relief 
of associated symptoms upon conclusion of testing. 


Description: SCP-3372 is the collective designation for two items. 


SCP-3372-A refers to a handcrafted wooden case (SCP-3372-A-1) 
that can hold up to six bamboo mimikaki', and the eight mimikaki 
currently affected by its anomaly (SCP-3372-A-2-a through h). When 
a mimikaki is left within SCP-3372-A-1 for at least fifteen minutes, it 
becomes an instance of SCP-3372-A-2. 


When used to puncture a human eardrum, an instance of 
SCP-3372-A-2 will cause a swarm of insects animals native to 
Japan to be released from the subject's ear canal. Organisms thus 
produced are not anomalous, save for their ability to grow to normal 
size while exiting the ear canal. Organisms will flee the immediate 
scene before resuming behavior normal for their species. This 
activity continues until the SCP-3372-A-2 instance is removed from 
the ear canal entirely. 


Subjects thus affected report no discomfort apart from the 
associated effects of rupturing the eardrum. 


once SCP-435-1 is again sufficiently illuminated, at which point 
SCP-435-2 will cease motion at whatever location it is at that 
moment, and remain there fixed in relation to SCP-435-1. The 
threshold for this effect currently appears to be between 500 and 
650 lux, and it appears that this threshold may increase by 
approximately % whenever SCP-435-2 enters an active state. 


Because of SCP-435-2’s interaction with normal matter, an active 
state is considered extremely dangerous. Passing through large 
volumes of air at speeds in excess of 500 m/s dramatically 
increases levels of radiation, and if SCP-435-2 intersects water or 
any land mass [DATA EXPUNGED]. Any active state lasting longer 
than 90 seconds constitutes a potential XK-class end-of-the-world 
scenario and requires the initiation of Contingency 435-XK-Alpha.

SCP-435-1 was recovered in 195 at ; : 
While surveying sites for testing a , the US Army 
Corps of Engineers were directed to evacuate the native 
population from  ,asmall island 85 km from the

local population. After evacuating the island by force, 
they discovered SCP-435-1 in a clearing surrounded by 
several dozen burning torches. At this time SCP-435-2 
was not in an observable location, and the US authorities

SCP-3372-B is a compound comprised of hydrogen peroxide and a 
number of other chemicals, not all of which have been fully 
identified.2 


When applied to the ear canal of a living human, SCP-3372-B 
induces auditory hallucinations over the course of the next 10 
minutes to 145 hours, superceding the subject's normal hearing in 


the affected ear. Hallucinations cataloged so far have demonstrated 
wildly differing content, though subjects almost always express 
dismay and fear at what they are able to hear, even when informed 
ahead of time of the effect SCP-3372-B may have. 


While the amount applied has some correlation to the duration of the 
effect8, this correlation is non-linear and currently not fully 
understood. Subjects affected by SCP-3372-B for over an hour 
invariably will attempt to deafen themselves in the affected ear(s) 
with any suitable implement. 


Application of SCP-3372-B to both ear canals will produce the effect 
in both ears, with duration related to the amount used per ear. 
Hallucinations experienced per ear are typically unrelated. Dual-ear 
testing is prohibited as of 28/02/1986. 


+ Addendum 3372-02: Sample log of subject affected by SCP-3372- 
B 


Preface: D-2052 was administered 5 drops of 
SCP-3372-B in his right ear and instructed to provide a 
running commentary of what he heard with that ear. Dr. 
Pawelovsky presiding. 


<Begin Recording: 15:51> 


Yeah, uh, it's just like having water in your ear 
right now, | guess. Everything's muffled on this 
side. 


[Subject motions to right ear, then is silent for 
20 seconds] 


Okay, yeah, I'm starting to hear... Whoa! 
Whoa, oh shit, what? O-oh God, what is that? 


O-okay, okay. There's... It's like, every time 
you move, or | move, | can hear our clothing 
rustling. | mean, that's what | should be 
hearing. Instead, it's... There's bugs crawling 
up our legs. 


[Subject attempts to stand and is restrained by 
security] 


Big fuckin' bugs, Doc! Holy shit, | can't feel 
them, but they're there! Oh Jesus! They sound 
like crabs, or lobsters, giant fucking lobsters 
scampering up and down our legs, | can hear 
their slimy fucking skeletons! 


[Subject begins swatting at his right leg] 


Take that, you fuckers! You're not stealing my 
gonads! Fuck off, shitheads! 


There, did you hear it? | got one, it hit the floor 
and shattered! 


| think... 
[Subject is quiet for 10 seconds] 


| think they're leaving now. Maybe they took it 
as a warning or something. Hah! Don't fuck 
with me, bitches. Okay, Doc, we gotta do 
something about yours now, shit, | think some 
of mine are going after you. | know this big 
fucker behind me won't let me up, just slap 'em 
off your legs, okay? Hurry, Doc, they're all over 
you! 


[After a moment, Dr. Pawelovsky complies, 
swatting at both his legs] 


You almost... There! You got one! You got 
another one! Good job, Doc, they're retreating. 
Fuck, that was close. You okay, man? 


Oh, yeah, uh, | don't really hear too much right 
now, just like... waves crashing on a shore, | 
think. There's... yeah, | can still hear the 
lobsters, they're pretty far off now, though. | 
think there might be a bird or something, 


overhead. 
[Subject is quiet for 2 minutes, 45 seconds] 


| think they're going back to our dreams. Like, 
the spaces between dreams. That's where 
they hide. I'm hearing like a tunnel now, and 
it's connected to dreams, and all those little 
fucking legs are skittering into it. 


Shit, I'm never dreaming again. 
<End Log 15:58> 


Afterword: Though no evidence has yet proven the 
existence of things heard by subjects under the influence 
of SCP-3372-B, each hallucination seems to have its 
own internal logic, often reflected in the actions of the 
subject. (i.e., movement in the real world affects the 
relative distance of hallucinated sounds.) Effects of 
SCP-3372-B in this test lasted one hour, thirteen 
minutes. 


Addendum 3372-03: Recovery and Combination of Item 
Numbers 


SCP-3372-A and the original six instances of SCP-3372-A-1 were 
initially recovered from a store and massage parlor in Akihabara 
district of Tokyo by IJAMEA after reports of massive amounts of 
vermin emerging from the storefront. Two corpses were discovered 
at the store: a woman who had been stung to death by hornets and 
aman with SCP-3372-A-2-f embedded in his brain through his left 
ear. The man was later identified as having had an affair with the 
woman, who had been performing mimisouji4 on him. SCP-3372-A 
and its contents came into Foundation possession in 1945 with the 
dissolution of INAMEA. 


SCP-3372-B was obtained during a raid on a Prometheus Labs 
facility in 1985, along with a number of other items. A label indicated 
SCP-3372-B was intended as a powerful cerumen cleanser. 
SCP-3372-A and SCP-3372-B were initially contained as separate 


objects. 


On 05/03/2005, D-Class testing of SCP-3372-B was interrupted by 
an unrelated containment breach. Due to improper handling of 
SCP-3372-A, D-8193 (the test subject) was able to gain access to 
SCP-3372-A-2-e and proceeded to insert it into her ear canal, 
puncturing the eardrum. Instead of the typical effect, D-8913 lapsed 
into a trance. Security Agent Patrick Toncar came upon D-8913 and 
conversed with her, which was captured on site-wide security feed. 
Log below. 


+ show block 
<Begin Log 16:27> 


Agent Toncar: Stop what you are doing and 
place the object on the floor! 


D-8913: Oh god! 


[D-8913 turns toward Agent Toncar, then 
startles] 


D-8913: Oh god! What are you? 


Agent Toncar: I'm a Security Agent, and | am 
authorized to— 


D-8913: Not you, you! 


[D-8913 points first at Agent Toncar, then to 
her left] 


Agent Toncar: /to radio] Command, be 
advised, | may have a fourth anomaly active in 
Safe Storage. /to D-8913] D-Class personnel, 
can you describe what you are seeing? 


D-8913: /to unknown] What? | don't 
understand. [to Agent Toncar] Can't you see 
him? 


Agent Toncar: No. Please describe your 
situation. 


D-8913: This guy won't shut up. Okay, I'm 
standing in a... Like, red sands, or maybe it's 
just the reflection of the sunset. There's two 
suns. And water up to my ankles. And this guy, 
he's... 


[D-8913 gestures to a spot approximately 

50 cm in front of her, then makes a motion with 
her right hand, pressing it to her forehead and 
chin] 


D-8913: He's cut in half. And blue. He looks 
like John Lennon. 


Agent Toncar: I'm not seeing any of this, 
please be my eyes. Is this being doing or 
saying anything? 


D-8913: He keeps talking, | can barely 
understand it. "What about the raisins?" he 
said. He keeps asking about things, it's like 
he's talking over himself... Wait, you want me 
to what? 


Agent Toncar: What is it asking you to do? 


D-8913: /motions to her left ear] Will it stop the 
fucking music? 


[Note: During testing with SCP-3372-B, 
D-8913 had complained of cacophonous 
music and chanting in her left ear] 


D-8913: All right, I'm in. 


Agent Toncar: What's going on? D-Class 
personnel? 


<End Log 16:39> 


At this point, D-8913 walks toward the wall, phasing 
through it. SCP-3372-A-2-e snaps as her ear passes 
through the wall, falling to the floor. D-8913 is not found. 


Agent Toncar was given a commendation for calm action 
during an encounter with an unknown anomaly. Junior 
Researcher was given a reprimand for improper 
storage of a Safe-class object. The reprimand was 
rescinded when it was determined that combining 
SCP-3372-A and SCP-3372-B produced further effects. 


Following this event, both items were reclassified as SCP-3372 and 
containment procedures were updated.
