As of this date, all previous inhabitants of 
Darrington have been tentatively designated 
as Pol-3089-1 through -985. An investigation 
into their current whereabouts is ongoing. 


SCP-386: Eternal Fungus 


Item #: SCP-386 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: No entry to the containment 
area is allowed without approval from Site Command. Containment 
area should not be connected to any outside systems besides an 
entry airlock. Seals and filters for the airlock must be checked daily, 
and replaced as needed. Incendiary devices are to be placed inside 
the containment area, with remote activation controls. In the event of 
containment failure, incendiary devices are to be immediately 
detonated and the site is to go into full lock-down for a period of one 
month to find and contain any spore leakage. 


The containment area is to be cleaned and repaired at least twice a 
year. Anything exiting the containment area must be scanned for 
SCP-386 spores. Any personnel entering into or working near the 
containment area must be in full haz-mat gear with self-contained 
atmosphere. 


Description: SCP-386 is a form of mushroom that appears to have 
highly regenerative processes, and is highly resistant to physical 
damage. Single units of SCP-386 grow from individual microscopic 
spores. These spores grow and reach maturity within four days. 
Spores have been observed to grow without water, sunlight, or any 
form of nutrients, and can remain viable even after exposure to high 
heat, vacuum, radiation, and extreme kinetic force. SCP-386 
produces no hyphae, and the means by which it gathers the energy 
for growth is unknown. A mild acid (pH 4) appears to be secreted in 
small quantities by the cap, identification of which has been 
inconclusive. 


Attempts to damage or take samples from SCP-386 have met with 
limited success. Units of SCP-386 have a texture and weight similar 
to sponge, but are extremely difficult to cut, puncture, crush, grind or

SCP-3090: This girl's gone bad on a game attack! 


Item #: SCP-3090 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3090 is to be kept in a 
standard humanoid containment cell at Site-17. Personal electronic 
devices, such as cell phones, computers, and handheld video game 
consoles are not allowed in a 12m radius of SCP-3090 except 
during testing periods. SCP-3090 is to have a psychological 
evaluation every Tuesday with Dr. August Lichen and Junior 
Psychologist Blake Maxson Yamagusuku. 


Revised Containment Procedures 02/18/17: Mobile Task Force 
Kappa-10 ("Skynet") are responsible for locating entities suspected 
to be SCP-3090 or in possession of abilities similar to SCP-3090, 
due to the possibility of SCP-3090's self-termination being a planned 
containment breach. 


Description: SCP-3090 is a humanoid of indeterminate race and 
age. The head has been replaced with a detachable television set. 
This television can only be removed by SCP-3090. When turned on 
by pressing the powered button or reconnecting it to SCP-3090's 
body, a pixelated logo shows up in large pink font reading "Ms. Mad 
About Video Games, by Gamers Against Weed", replaced then 
by various text characters assembled into a facsimile of a face, 
dependent on its mood. When separated, SCP-3090's neck 
terminates in a standard 5-15 electrical socket. This state of 
separation also renders it unable to communicate or interact with 
others meaningfully. 


Any interactive media in a 10m radius of SCP-3090 becomes an 
instance of SCP-3090-1. An icon of SCP-3090 will generate on the 
bottom-left corner of the screen during gameplay. Playing 
SCP-3090-1 induces a catatonic state on the player when their 
avatar or character is terminated or otherwise enters a fail state. 


This reverts upon resumption of play, or if the instance of 
SCP-3090-1 ceases operation. Subjects regaining consciousness 
report feelings of dissociation and identifying with their digital avatar. 


SCP-3090 controls the graphical output appearing on-screen, 
altering it spontaneously. This is usually done in the form minor 
graphical adjustments not present in the program's code. SCP-3090 
reports fatigue after long-term or repeated activation of its 
anomalous effects. Programs with more intensive graphical 
appearance also cause SCP-3090 to become strained. 


Recovery: The Foundation was alerted to SCP-3090's existence 
after intercepting police reports of a suspicious individual causing a 
disturbance outside of a GameStop in Las Vegas, Nevada. Said 
figure held a sign that read "We can be the generation that ends 
gaming addiction forever". SCP-3090's sweatshirt contained a 
document consistent with others associated with "Misters Against 
Weed." 


Document 3090-A: 


Holy Heck! You've just found yourself your very own Ms. 
Mad About Video Games by Gamers Against Weed! 
Remember to take a 15 minute break for every hour of 
play. Who is Dr. Wondertainment?

Addendum 3090-A: Test Logs and Interviews: 
Test 1 


Game: The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker for the 
Nintendo Gamecube 


Player(s): N/A 


Notes: Control test, Technical Assistant Metwaad 
supervising. SCP-3090 and its icon were unresponsive 
until Metwaad touched the controller while unplugging it, 
when the icon responded to the controller being touched 
and changed the graphics in-game to appear slightly 
more exaggerated. Changes disappeared upon the 
controller being unplugged. 


Test 2 


Game: Two copies of Pokémon Crystal on two Game 
Boy Advances 


Player(s): D-7215 and D-3015 


Notes: D-7215's game had graphics typical of a 
Pokémon Ruby or Sapphire game. "[Pokémon] fainted!" 
text was replaced with "[Pokémon] died!" D-3015's game 
had graphics typical of a Pokémon Crystal game, but red 
pixels appeared on the Pokémon as hit points 
decreased. Aesthetic alterations are variable depending 
on the subject playing. Both D-Class had a team of three 
Pokémon each. Wounds began to manifest on subjects 
which were consistent with the injuries sustained by their 


respective Pokémon. SCP-3090 would then choose a 
new Pokémon for the subject, reversing their state. Text 
transcribed from D-3015's game follows. 


"Enemy TYPHLOSION used FLAME WHEEL!" 
"VILEPLUME is hurt by the burn." 
"VILEPLUME used TOXIC!" 

"Enemy TYPHLOSION is poisoned!" 

"Enemy TYPHLOSION used SWIFT!" 
Holographic ninja stars appeared and sliced 
through D-3015's body, with blood appearing 
to pour onto the floor. D-7215 notices and 
jumps out of his chair, dropping the Game Boy 
Advance onto the floor and refusing to play 
further. 

"VILEPLUME died!" 

"Enemy TYPHLOSION is hurt by poison!" 
D-7215 falls to the ground, complaining of a 
stomachache. 


SCP-3090 turned off the game at this point, patting 
D-3015's head before moving back to where it sat. 


Interview 3090-A: 
Interviewed: SCP-3090 
Interviewer: Dr. August Lichen 


Foreword: Interview done soon after Test 2. SCP-3090 
had refused to speak to Foundation personnel up to this 
point, where it relented to an interview. 


<Begin Log, 13:21> 


Dr. Lichen: Good afternoon, Ms. Mad About Video 
Games. 


SCP-3090: Hmm... | don't think that's such a good 
handle. My moms gave me an actual name, you know. 


Lichen: What did they call you, then? 


SCP-3090: I'm... not sure | want to share, actually. It 
was endearing, but embarrassing. 


Lichen: Alright then. Let's talk about the last test we did. 
Why did you shut off both Game Boys in the middle of 
Test 2? 


SCP-3090 If | didn't, they would've kept fighting, and | 
don't like fights. They're not fun, and games are 
supposed to be fun. Neither of them looked like they had 
fun, as well. 


Lichen: But what people experience when they lose or 
die in a game is, well... 


[SCP-3090's head displays an ellipsis, remaining silent 
for a full minute.] 


Lichen: How do you make things happen outside of the 
game? 


SCP-3090: It's a gimmick. Good graphics. Everyone 
loves good graphics. | do too, even if | love playing older 
games. | think all the good movies these days are in 3D, 
so why shouldn't games be the same way? 


Lichen: Then what about the state people are put in 
when they lose? 


SCP-3090: I'm not sure... maybe they're so immersed in 
their game, they end up believing it impacts them as 
well. Whenever | play games, nothing happens. I'm not a 
human anymore, so | can't speak to that. | do enhance 
the graphics to appear more realistic, but those are 
holograms. They shouldn't be able to harm people. 


Lichen: So let me ask again. Why do you end up making 
people go through that state? 


SCP-3090: /[SCP-3090's head displays an ellipsis, 
remaining silent for another minute. As Dr. Lichen is 
about to ask another question it speaks.] It's not exactly 


an ideal situation, is it? Maybe it's because people are 
angriest right when they die in a video game, or lose. It 
cuts down on aggression and hostility so you have the 
time to cool down and not be aggressive. That's what | 
assume, anyway. | never bothered to ask. 


Lichen: Do you remember who created you? What are 
your earliest memories? 


SCP-3090: My mothers. It feels too weird calling them 
creators. | stayed in one of their places and got to play all 
the time. It's fine for me to play all the time, since | don't 
need to do anything else, but | made sure she didn't burn 
herself out. Anyway... they wanted to take me to a 
GameStop and win a video game tournament. Which 
was fine, since I'm very, very good at gaming. | won, and 
of course people had all of, uh, that happen to them. 


They didn't give me the Switch that was the prize. One of 
the other contestants tried to take my head off because 
they thought it was part of a costume. It didn't come off 
so | took it off myself. Everyone... freaked out, and when 
they put it back on me in a panic, they locked me out 
while they called the police. [SCP-3090 sighs.] | tried to 
follow my mothers out but | realized too late that they 
already left, and ended up locked outside of the store. | 
miss her... 


Lichen: What did she or your other mom look like? We 
can have her come here for you. 


SCP-3090: Hmm... I'd rather see myself home. 
[SCP-3090 displayed a prohibition sign, refusing to 
respond to any further inquires. ] 

<End Log, 13:26> 

Test 8 


Game: Animal Crossing: New Leaf for the Nintendo 3DS 


Player(s): D-8000 


Notes: Since Animal Crossing: New Leaf is a game 
without failstates, it was hypothesized that no 
abnormalities other than the expected graphical changes 
would occur. SCP-3090 appeared delighted to watch the 
game, stating that this was its favorite game, as well as 
being non-violent. D-8000 was instructed to play until 
told to stop by Foundation staff. 


At 01:00:00, the lower-left icon displayed a text popup 
which was also spoken aloud by SCP-3090, saying 
"You've been playing for a while. Maybe you should take 
a break?" It repeated this phrase at 01:15:00, 01:30:00, 
and 01:45:00. At 02:00:00, it changed to "You look tired. 
You should give your eyes a break." It repeated this 
phrase at 02:10:00, 02:20:00, 02:30:00. At 02:45:00, it 
stated "You're so tired. Please stop." The 3DS is 
observed to have a pink substance leaking out of it, then 
unidentified. D-8000 was instructed by Technical 
Researcher Metwaad to continue playing. At 2:50:00, it 
stated "You're overexerting yourself. Please stop!" as the 
icon switched to appearing exasperated. The substance 
became thicker and more opaque. At 03:00:00, the 3DS 
ceased functioning as SCP-3090 collapsed, a buffering 
symbol displaying on its screen. 


Incident Report 3090/890 
Involved Individuals: SCP-3090, SCP-890 


Report: With the approval of Site Director Everett Mann, 
both SCP-3090 and the 3DS were brought to SCP-890 
for surgery. According to SCP-890, the 3DS was 
complaining of symptoms consistent with heavy metal 
poisoning. It determined that the victim had 
[REDACTED], though chemical testing of the substance 
revealed that it was non-anomalous and able to be 
replicated. The 3DS also had "contusions from [regular 
usage]," but this was unrelated to the patient's cause of 
death. 


SCP-3090 did not receive surgery, as SCP-890 
determined that it was neither similar to other patients 
nor "a simple mass of meat". It advised personnel that 
based on similar experiences, SCP-3090 only needed to 
rest for approximately a few days before returning to its 
original state. 


Interview 3090-B: 
Interviewed: SCP-3090 


Interviewers: Dr. August Lichen, Junior Psychologist 
Blake Maxson Yamagusuku 


Foreword: Interview done one day after SCP-3090 
returned to its original state. 


<Begin Log, 16:40> 


Junior Psychologist Yamagusuku: Hello. My name is 
Blake Maxson Yamagusuku, and I'll be here to talk with 
you along with Dr. Lichen. | know what happened must 
have been very difficult, but hopefully | can help. 


SCP-3090: Hmm... sure. | decided on a name as well. 
Heather. 


Dr. Lichen: Heather. That's a good name. Heather, do 
you want to talk about your experience? 


SCP-3090: No. | would like if you don't have that happen 
to me much. Will you tell me when I'm able to go home? 
I'm feeling fine enough. 


Yamagusuku: We're still trying to locate your parents, 
as well as see if you're fine enough to go back home. | 
know you don't want to talk about what happened, but 
any sort of information could help us if it was that new of 
an experience to you. 


SCP-3090: Then... | can try. When the guy played too 
much Animal Crossing, | started to feel really worried for 


him. | think | got so worried that | got sick as well. Even 
my mom doesn't play games for that long, and she 
streams for an audience! When | — 


[At this point, Dr. Lichen's phone went off, prompting him 
to take the phone out of his pocket and look. Unlocking 
the phone opened up a game application. An icon 
immediately appeared on the bottom-left screen, 
unnoticed by Dr. Lichen at the moment.] 


Lichen: My bad, 3090 — Heather. | thought | had gotten 
ate — 


[SCP-3090's screen immediately changes to a flashing 
exclamation point. The phone's screen instantly cracks 
accompanied by the sound of glass breaking.] 


Lichen: What — 


SCP-3090: Please... please pay attention. This is not the 
time to play video games. 


[Conversation halted for 19 seconds as Lichen handed 
Yamagusuku his phone, making nervous hums as 
Yamagusuku leaves the room. Lichen clears his throat 
before continuing the interview. ] 


Lichen: Right, sorry. | didn't realize my phone was in my 
pocket. Please continue. 


SCP-3090: /[SCP-3090's screen changes to a face with 
two X's for eyes.] You called me a number. That never 
sounds nice, regardless of the context. [Silence for 
twelve seconds, as Yamagusuku returns to the room.] 
You don't plan to have me leave here, right? 


Yamagusuku: You'll... you'll be staying here for an 
indefinite amount of time. 


SCP-3090: Then what about my parents? 


Yamagusuku: We don't know where they are either.
