were sent to determine if any anomalous effects were involved. 
Initial investigation teams were all unknowingly made instances of 
SCP-2330-1, and it was not until the video logs and transcripts of 
the investigations were analyzed by uninfected personnel that the 
link between SCP-2330 and the memetic effect was made, assisted 
by observation of a sudden change in the attitude of team members 
towards the case, documented in the transcript of the investigation. 
Subsequently, a properly informed acquisition team was able to 
secure SCP-2330 and return it to Site- . 


Classified Document 2330-A (Notes for Surveillance Team): 
4/2330 CLEARANCE REQUIRED 


By now, the amnestics should have taken their 
toll, and you should be able to form new 
memories. Class-F amnestics are not well 
tested, nor well understood. | cannot assure 
you that the nausea will fade, and | know that 
forced isolation will not help. 


You've read the attached documents. You 
know who we are. This document will tell you 
who you are: a necessary security measure to 
prevent CK-Class Reconfiguration events from 
leaving this site. However, this is not your only 
purpose. There is a great deal on the 
shoulders of you and the other members of 
SCP-2330's surveillance team. 


You can see it, the whiteboard, from your 
terminals, and you may note that it seems to 
be larger than the dimensions given in the 
description. This is intentional. You will note 
that it is not blank. This is intentional, and 
regrettable. You'll see several statements, all 
along the bottom of the board, covered by 
clear plastic: equations, mentions of square 
holes, a paradox, a few words of 
encouragement. Most won't make sense to 
you, but only two are relevant, the two 


be empty. Analysis reports that the hoof belonged to a regular Bos 
primigenius. Notably contained cream filling in place of bone 
marrow. 


Money entered: 700 yen 

SCP-261 Powered or Unpowered: Powered 

Item description: One medium-sized cellophane bag with no 
markings. Bag contained approximately sixty thin strips of lightly 
seasoned jerky. D-class personnel likened the taste to typical 
teriyaki-flavored jerky, but reported a stinging sensation in right 
cheek after swallowing. Subject collapsed and died after 
approximately 140 seconds. Further examination revealed the jerky 
to be made of jellyfish, specifically the Box Jellyfish species 
(Chironex fleckeri). 


Money entered: 700 yen 

SCP-261 Powered or Unpowered: Powered 

Item description: One small box of "Nips". Box labeling and 
description almost identical to the Nestlé brand of caramel candies 
under the same name. Notable differences include the flavor 
advertised to be "Flesh", and the picture of the candy no longer the 
typical round shape, but instead shaped similarly to human nipples. 
Box contained approximately 16 candies, in various shades 
stemming from pink to brown. Taste was described as similar to 
pork, texture similar to the Nestlé-brand candies. 


Money entered: 1400 yen 

SCP-261 Powered or Unpowered: Powered 

Item description: One box containing four 'PEZ' dispensers and 
twelve blocks of 'PEZ' candy. Heads on the dispensers were 
modeled after those of former American president Bill Clinton, 
former White House intern Monica Lewinsky, former independent 
prosecutor Ken Starr, and former Lewinsky confidante Linda Tripp. 
Candies and dispensers not found to be anomalous. 


Money entered: 100 yen 
SCP-261 Powered or Unpowered: Powered 
Item description: "Dr. College's EasyRam": A small plastic cup with 


statements just above the others on the board. 


"This statement, and all those below it on 
SCP-2330, do not exist." 

"SCP-2330 is a dry-erase whiteboard 
approximately 1.0 meters in height." 


We've lied, you see. We've lied to the 
researchers. We've lied to the world. Soon, we 
will have lied to ourselves, a wave of untruths 
washing away what once remained. 


We thought we could control it. We didn't fully 
understand the properties, at first. We tested it, 
saw the rough outlines of its influence; we 
probed further, hopeful. We could fix our 
problems with this, drastically increase morale, 
protect Foundation information, create 
weaponized cognitohazards that could 
eliminate our enemies. We were wrong. 


We didn't realize how infectious it was. By the 
time we understood, the test phrases were 
already blazing across Site-19, Site-17, and 
even Site-11, as they are even now. 
Amnestics were considered, but widespread 
treatment would result in a lapse in 
containment of dozens of Keter entities. The 
nuclear option was shelved for the same 
reason. 


Soon, the infection will breach the council. 
There is hardly anything we can do about it; 
the means of infection are still nebulously 
understood. We can, however, prevent future 
incidents, and prepare... contingencies. 


You are our contingencies, the only people on 
the planet who will be fully isolated from the 
whiteboard's influence. The council won't be 
able to remember the incident. The information 


security department is attempting quarantine 
while they alter Foundation and civilian 
records. Records that conflict with the infection 
phrase won't be a major issue, but they will 
complicate reintegration. The quarantine won't 
hold forever, but it'll last long enough to protect 
the documents that are worth protecting: the 
documents you now possess. 


We've devised security measures. Orders will 
soon come through to install amnestics valves 
in the ventilation systems. Eta-2 isn't enough, 
though, to be sure to stop all infection. 
Amnestics are fickle, especially in gaseous 
form, and there's no way to know if it will be 
enough to prevent another incident. With this 
in mind, Procedure Eta-1 has been devised. 


Should infection proceed past all containable 
bounds, or escape into the public, you are to 
facilitate infection, and promote universal 
human conversion. The information security 
department is hard-wired to quarantine on your 
command. They can sanitize the records, and 
transmit infectious audio over civilian 

channels. 


Spreading the infection is better than the 
alternative. It's better than worldwide 
confusion. At least the world will be unified in 
ignorance. The Foundation doesn't just protect 
normalcy, we protect the way that normalcy is 
reinforced in the mind of the public. When 
everyone believes a lie, that lie becomes 
normal, and we must protect that perception 
until we find a way to guide it back towards the 
truth. 

You have given up your loved ones, your 
homes, and the outside world, not just 
physically, but in your mind and memories, to 


protect the world. You volunteered to have 
your brains scrubbed. You will not be wasted. 


Know that the truth is still attainable. Continue 
research, try to understand the effects. Cling to 
the idea that the effects can be reversed, for 
this is our only way back. We have lost the 
battle already. We must not lose the war. 


The O5 council has the same motto as the rest 
of the Foundation: Secure, Contain, Protect. 


Sometimes, we must concede.

SCP-2331: SCRAVECROW 


Item #: SCP-2331 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2331 is currently being 
tracked by both Mobile Task Force Kappa-Theta ("Get Lucky") and 
Research Team Theta-Theta ("Afterparty"). When an iteration of 
SCP-2331-P is confirmed, Mobile Task Force Kappa-Theta are to 
enter SCP-2331-P in an attempt to capture SCP-2331. Research 
Team Theta-Theta is currently working on a way to predict 
SCP-2331-P iterations. Amnestics are to be distributed to all 
participants of SCP-2331-P iterations. 


Description: SCP-2331 is a humanoid that appears to be an 
animate hay-filled mannequin commonly known as a scarecrow. 
SCP-2331 can be identified by its carved pumpkin head, which has 
an internal glow of fluorescent blue in low light conditions. SCP-2331 
is theorized to be capable of triggering SCP-2331-P and only 
appears in order to trigger SCP-2331-P. SCP-2331 is most active 
during the month of October. 


SCP-2331-P is a phenomenon that occurs in any area in which 
SCP-2331 appears. SCP-2331-P is the spontaneous organization 
and generation of equipment typical of a medium-sized festival that 
involves a lights set and electronic music, colloquially known as a 
rave. SCP-2331 will assume the role of a disc jockey. SCP-2331 is 
capable of controlling the space contained with SCP-2331-P, often 
changing the humidity of the air, spontaneously producing 
nonpoisonous colored smoke, and affecting the texture or size of the 
walls. It will also produce objects such as glowsticks or candy. 


SCP-2331-P will generally attract humans typically between 18 and 
30 years of age, although humans as young as 13 and as old as 73 
have been known to attend. Although social media and word of 

mouth are often cited when attendees are interviewed, the drawing 


of a large amount of participants will occur even during low amounts 
of social media coverage. It is theorized that attendants to 
SCP-2331-P may be under certain mental effects, although the 
details of potential effects are still undergoing investigation. 


Each iteration may last from 5 to 24 hours, depending on the size of 
the rave and any interruptions from either Foundation activity or 
local law enforcement. Upon the conclusion of SCP-2331-P, 
SCP-2331 will disappear and trigger a new iteration within 72 hours, 
usually in the continent of North America. No anomalous activity or 
behavior is noted of any participant of SCP-2331-P iterations apart 
from SCP-2331 itself. 


SCP-2331 may trigger SCP-2331-P in any area with enough space 
for a rave, but prefers indoor locations. It is more likely to appear in 
areas with high population densities, especially near or at institutions 
of higher education such as trade schools, universities, and 
colleges. 


Incident 2331-01 10/09/2014 
Incident Log 


Notes: This is the first contact between MTF 
Kappa-Theta and SCP-2331-P. 

Involved Personnel: Agent Asla, Agent 
Michalsky and Researcher Witzke. 


[BEGIN LOG] 


<21:19> Agent Asla, Agent Michalsky and 

Researcher Witzke arrive to SCP-2331-P, 

taking place in the student union building of 
University. 


<21:20> Researcher Witzke adjusts her gas 
mask, glowstick necklace, and pink wig. 
Agents Asla and Michalsky, having added 
glow sticks and fluorescent strips to their 
weapons, ensure that they are still functional. 


<21:30> After searching for approximately 10 
minutes, Agent Michalsky points to SCP-2331 
on a balcony. Researcher Witzke is seen 
interviewing an attendee. SCP-2331 takes its 
head off and throws it into the crowd. The 
head explodes into fluorescent green smoke 
before it reaches the crowd, although no 
pumpkin parts can be seen. SCP-2331 then 
produces a new pumpkin head from its table 
and puts it on its shoulders. SCP-2331 does 
not appear to have head or neck underneath 
the pumpkin head. 


<21:31> Agent Michalsky and Agent Asla 
attempt to approach SCP-2331. SCP-2331 is 
seen on a table with sound equipment, 
adjusting levels of volume. 


<21:32> Agent Michalsky is interrupted as two 
college students pull him away to dance. 
Agent Asla accidentally pushes another 
student too hard, causing an argument. 
SCP-2331 notices the commotion and adjusts 
its microphone. 


<21:33> Agent Michalsky: "I'm not interested, 
okay?" Agent Michalsky attempts to push the 
civilian away. Civilian: "Shut up and dance, 
dude!" 


<21:34> SCP-2331 turns its head towards the 
agents. It points and waves as it plays another 
song. SCP-2331 then waves its left hand over 
the wall, which appears to stretch diagonally 
before snapping back into place. 


<21:35> Multiple college students begin 
shoving the agents out of the area, citing 
reasons such as being too close to the Du, 
threatening the Du, or being disruptive. 
Researcher Witzke is not removed. 


<21:40> Researcher Witzke finishes her 
interview and leaves SCP-2331-P. SCP-2331 
can be seen making a downwards motion with 
both hands as fluorescent leaves appear to be 
spontaneously produced from the ceiling; 
these disappear before touching the floor. 


<21:45> MTF Kappa-Theta continue to 
observe SCP-2331-P. SCP-2331-P ends 
without further complications after 10 hours.

Incident 2331-04 10/13/2014 
Incident Log 


Notes: Local law enforcement were explicitly 
instructed not to intervene. 

Involved Personnel: Agent Lu, Agent Hansen 
and Researcher Witzke. 


[BEGIN LOG] 


<11:02> Agent Lu, Agent Hansen and 
Researcher Witzke enter SCP-2331-P, located 
in a warehouse at . All are dressed 
appropriately in order to avoid detection. 


<11:04> Researcher Witzke identifies 
SCP-2331 on the far side of the warehouse. 
She attempts to maneuver towards SCP-2331. 
SCP-2331 lurches over its table in a vomiting 
motion and produces glowsticks from its 
mouth, which it then dispenses into the crowd. 


<11:10> Agents Lu and Hansen wave their 


glowsticks in time with a chorus. Researcher 
Witzke is interrupted by a civilian asking for 
her number, followed by a different civilian 
offering to buy her drinks. 


<11:25> Researcher Witzke successfully 
approaches SCP-2331. Agents Lu and 
Hansen attempt to also approach SCP-2331, 
but are interrupted by three civilians requesting 
a dance. 


<11:30> Researcher Witzke attempts to talk to 
SCP-2331. SCP-2331 gives her what appears 
to be a business card with a telephone number 
written on it in blue ink, but does not otherwise 
respond to her, and instead continues Duing. 


<11:31> Local law enforcement arrives on the 
scene. Despite being unable to see police, 
SCP-2331 appears to look up and towards 
them. It changes music and presses a 
microphone to its face. The shadows around 
SCP-2331 grow in size and a dense fog fills 
the room. 


<11:32> A young British male voice is heard 
from SCP-2331's mouth. SCP-2331: "Really? 
Fuckin’ hell... Basically, boys and girls, it's 
hard for me to believe this as well, yes, so 
don't — don't boo or anything or do anything 
out of order — but basically, the police are 
shutting the party down." 


<11:33> Local law enforcement officers begin 
coming out of their cars and approaching 
SCP-2331-P. Participants of SCP-2331-P stop 
dancing. SCP-2331 appears to scratch its 
head. SCP-2331: "No, | know. It — It sounds 
weird, but you know what the police are like 
when they shut something down. If we don't do 
some things in an orderly and calm fashion 


they're gonna pepper spray every 
motherfucker and get the dogs out and then 
some people might end up in the cells for a 
night."
