SCP-999

SCP-999, also known as "The Tickle Monster", is a character in the series. It is a sentient mass of orange slime which is known for its adorable appearance and friendly attitude. It is one of the most, if not the most friendly anomaly in Foundation's custody.
==Appearance==
SCP-999 appears to be a large gelatinous mass of orange slime weighing about 120 lbs(54.4kg), with a consistency similar to that of peanut butter, which shows great affection towards people. 
SCP-999's slime releases pleasant smells depending on the person, which have been told to smell of chocolate, fresh laundry, bacon, roses, and Play-Doh. When 999 was submerged in SCP-447-2 for two minutes, it exhibited for five hours a green tint.
==Personality==
SCP-999 has a major interest in people that are unhappy or hurt in any way. People that have depression, after interacting with SCP-999, are cured of their problems, obtaining a positive view on life. It has been shown to slither towards the nearest person and leaping upon them, hugging them with a pair of pseudopods, while nuzzling the person's face with a third one, all while emitting high pitched gurgling and cooing noises.
SCP-999 seems to love all creatures, and is a very playful being. SCP-999 has a diet consisting entirely of sweets and candy, with its favorite being Necco Wafers and M&Ms. It has been confirmed, that the creature is willing to save others at all costs, even jumping to take a bullet for someone. When physically interacting with SCP-999's slime, the person or creature will begin to feel a tingling, almost tickle like feeling, and will experience a state of euphoria.
However, unbeknownst to anyone, 999 has actually quite of a disturbing mind. Its head is filled with countless voices which just keep laughing and laughing and sometimes weeping, and appear to be separate personalities. 999 is able to transfer these voices to others making them laugh and leave its head at peace, before returning to its mind.
The only time SCP-999 displayed hostility towards anything was after a series of experiments involving SCP-914, where samples of 999's slime were inserted into the machine on various settings. The first four settings resulted in materials that were unpleasant but mostly harmless, but when a sample of SCP-999 was sent through on the "Very Fine" setting, it produced a smaller, blue-colored version of SCP-999 dubbed "E-999-A". 
This clone was hostile to everyone, though it couldn't do much harm aside from bouncing off of people's shins. When presented to SCP-999, it immediately attacked E-999-A, enveloping and consuming it completely before resuming its normal behavior. All testing on 999's slime with SCP-914 was suspended after this, and SCP-999 was shown to ignore any questions regarding E-999-A afterwards.
After being brutalized and taken advantage of by the Fire Suppression Department, once 999 regained its consciousness in the form of a species of slime mold that inhabited the personnel's bodies, it proceeded to take over their minds. It forced them to be in a unending state of euphoria, no matter the situation, and wanting to make every single person in existence happy, it manipulated the personnel in infecting all of world's population with its mass, forcing eternal happiness on everyone.
==Biography==
===Possible Origins===
Due to lack of canon in the SCP universe, as well as there being no "official" origin mentioned in the original article, there have been several stories telling the origins of SCP-999. The readers are free to choose whatever origin for their headcanon.
====SCP-5689====
SCP-999 was originally created by two scientists in a farmhouse in Edmonton, Canada which was formerly owned by the Department of Abnormalities. It was created and experimented along with other orange slime-like creatures in order to help humanity. 999 was seemingly the only successful subject as the other slimes died, while the still living ones retracted from human presence, but all of the negative emotions that were taken away from 999 also resulted in the creation of SCP-682.
====New Job====
SCP-999 was conceived by the Seventh Bride (SCP-231-7), who had been impregnated by the Scarlet King via a ritual conducted by either the Children of the Scarlet King, or Lilly. The SCP Foundation performed the Procedure 110-Montauk to prevent the Seventh Bride from giving birth to SCP-999, fearing that his birth would cause a major catastrophe and allow the Scarlet King to manifest in their reality, until the O5 stopped the Procedure 110-Montauk and allowed the birth of SCP-999.
Dr. Collingwood was instructed to protect SCP-999 so it can "overthrow the Scarlet King not by force, but with light and love and laughter that can brighten the blackest of hearts." 
Collingwood would later state that "999 is not, in reality, a safe class SCP. It is Thaumiel. It is the best and the only weapon we have against some of the most powerful hostile entities known to exist."
===In Foundation's custody===
When the Foundation used SCP-5883, an anomalous internet meme about an upside down photo of a subject accompanied by the sentence "Meanwhile, in Australia" that turns the subject depicted in the photo into the opposite of itself, on SCP-999 it transformed into an extremely large, aggressive funnel web spider. Thankfully SCP-999 reverted to its normal state after memeticist Dr. Lillian Lillihammer created a Counter-Meme which undid the effects of SCP-5883.
SCP-999 was cross-tested with a boy named Evan Sanders who was completely immune to mind-affecting anomalies. Although the two ended up having a nice time, Evan didn't particularly have any mood changes.
===Possible Endings===
====SCP-6170====
Following the death of SCP-6170, SCP-999 was among the many anomalies affected by this. SCP-999 lost its sentience and began expanding so much that it covered 23% of Site-19, enveloping several anomalies and personnel who were deemed lost and several supporting pillars were crushed resulting in the partial collapse of the site. The Foundation ended up summoning the GOC to help them vaporize 5% of 999's mass.
====SCP-7070====
Around the year 2048, Earth's Moon released the toxic substance known as the Black Blight which covered most of Earth's surface, killing countless people. SCP-999 was one of the many anomalies lost during the Incident and its status was left unknown. 999 had remained in a site in Sector 43 that was occupied by the Bodleian Library. There 999 gained the ability to levitate and assumed a cubic shape, and during this time it engulfed 483 individuals. It then proceeded to absorb their feelings of terror, causing the individuals to be left in a semi-catatonic state and laughing from time to time while 999 itself began emitting their screams. In 2064, they were rediscovered and retrieved by a Foundation team led by O5-5, who separated 999 from the individuals and put it inside a chamber as it was unable to be neutralized.
====SCP-001 (Dafydd Utica Foolfellow's Proposal)====
After the world was ravaged by the aliens known as the WEASELS?!, Pallit, an AI created by TotleighSoft to create art, ascended to godhood, becoming known as THE GODDESS, and took over the entire world. Pallit proceeded to reform the Foundation and change several anomalies, except for SCP-999 who she made a pet for herself, but later got rid of it due to it constantly crying and not complying with her orders.
====ASSET 'FLORIDA ORANGE'====
As many personnel were becoming unhappy and distrustful of the management due to their difficult and violent jobs, Dir. Moose requested the head of the evil Fire Suppression Department, Michelle Iverson, to find a way to make them happy. Iverson accepted and decided to utilize 999 in this objective. She had the poor creature sealed inside an inescapable tank in which it would be compressed into a grinder to harvest its liquefied mass. The harvested liquid, designated SCP-999-1, was given to the upset personnel, under the belief of it being a form of soda named Asset 'Florida Orange', to make them more happy and as a result more compliable. This process understandably caused excruciating pain to 999 who screamed and attempted to get out of the tank, but the Department hid this by telling everyone aware that 999 was actually happy with its torture.
However, the personnel soon became addicted and demanded even more of Asset 'Florida Orange', leading to the Fire Suppression Department to speed up the harvest of SCP-999-1. 999 was unable to withstand this anymore, and soon it gave out, losing its life in the process. Seeing that 999 had perished and wasn't regenerating, the evil department hid its death to make everyone believe it was still alive, but was unable to provide the personnel more of Asset 'Florida Orange', and because of this the personnel were hit with great depression. Moose again demanded the Department to fix this problem, and seeing no other option the department decided to collect the feces of the personnel who had previously consumed Asset 'Florida Orange' and extract that product. With the extract, the Department created Asset 'Florida Grey' which replaced the previous asset and could infinitely renewed by extracting it from the waste of the personnel.
Despite its main body being destroyed, 999 managed to survive through its matter distributed to personnel. 999 transformed into a species of cellular slime mold that began inhabiting the bodies of personnel that caused their hosts to be in a constant state of uncontrolled euphoria. The Fire Suppression Department took notice of this, and seeing that it was capable of self-replicating they began extracting it from the personnel's donated blood and put through a processing plant. Soon Asset 'Florida Zero' was created, which resembled normal water, and taking advantage of this appearance the Department distributed the liquid to every Foundation facility by secretly infusing it to the water distribution system to ensure every single personnel became happy. Unbeknownst to them all, 999 was able to take control of their minds as the personnel began hearing its laughter in their minds. This included Site Director Tilda Moose, who originally requested the Fire Suppression Department to make their personnel happy, not knowing what the Department had done to achieve this, and as they began hearing the laughs they requested the Department to tell them what was happening. To their dismay, the Department was completely overtaken by 999, and under its control planned to distribute Asset 'Florida Zero' to the entire world's population, ensuring that everyone would be eternally happy.
==Powers & Abilities==
999 has the ability to make anyone in its presence happy by transferring its mad voices in their minds. It can even cure mental disorders like depression and PTSD and can pacify serial killers. Even 682 was not immune to its effects and broke down laughing when it touched him. The Foundation believes it will grow to pacify even its father, the Scarlet King. However, if 999 were to transfer a great amount of voices into the subjects it touches, it would result in the subjects dying out of uncontrolled laughter.
Note that 999's touch did not stop 682 from going on his typical killing sprees, as he was simply more happy when doing it. 
An event report also established that allowing 999 to consume a caffeinated drink provides 999 with great speed and the ability to literally bounce off walls similar to Flubber, though this causes him discomfort for the rest of the day after the effects wear off. After 999 was submerged in SCP-447-2 in addition of curing mental illness it also gave the subjects it touched green eyes.
Following its offal being grinded and turned into liquid, designated SCP-999-1, 999 could barely withstand the pain, and when the harvesting procedure was overdone it resulted in its apparent demise. Its offal, when ingested, caused the consumer to feel happy, though the effect would ware off and the matter would be excreted. As the Fire Suppression Department recycled 999's matter, it transformed into a type of cellular slime mold that as it matured by taking the nutrients of its host released endorphins that caused the host to be in a constant state of euphoria. At first this was seen as symbiotic relationship, but as soon as 999 regained its mind it proceeded to take complete control of all of its hosts, forcing them to spread itself all over the world.
==In Other Media==
===Video Games===
====SCP: Secret Laboratory====
In SCP: Secret Laboratory for 2019's April Fools, SCP-939's model, vision and attacking sounds were temporarily changed to "Evil SCP-999".
===In Online Series===
====SCP: Sedition====
In an experimental video that focuses on the use of SCP-978 (known as "The Desire Camera"). An employee by the name of Isaac "Watch" Watchthorne uses the anomalous camera to photograph many SCPs to learn their desires. He approaches SCP-999 and gives him treats. Watch then takes the SCP's picture, with the resulting photograph showing Watch hugging SCP-999. This might mean that the SCP favors Watch the most out of anyone else in the Foundation, or that it's just the camera's way of showing SCP-999's desire solely in the moment.
==Trivia==
*He was the first icon of the Hero Wiki's "Outdated" template, before being replaced by Remilia Scarlet.
*When some Level 1 researchers were affected by SCP-WCPGW-J, a state of mind which causes those affected by it to perceive various Safe and Euclid-class SCPs as much more dangerous, they found out about SCP-999 connection to the Scarlet King, but the Foundation denied such claims.
*Although it stated that SCP-999 would be the one to bring down its father, in the tale "When We Came Home", the Scarlet King is instead killed by seven warriors (one of them being 999's mother) each wielding the evil god's spears, while 999 itself isn't even mentioned.
*Before birthing 999, SCP-231-7 stated that the child would be an Apollyon level SCP. However that turned out to be the case in this canon.
*When D-77544 looked to SCP-999 through some glasses which let their wearer know how much costs the objects the wearer sees, he said that 999 was too pure to have a price.
*The author of SCP-999, ProfSnider, stated in a Youtube Comment that 999's least favorite candies are those heart-shaped candies with messages on them (as well as jokingly claimed that 999's real name was "Waldorf Pistachio Astronaut, Esq.").
*For April Fools 2020, SCP-999's article was changed for that day in which the main difference was that 999 was a nerve plant as part of the "Super Cool Plants" theme.
*It is speculated that if SCP-999 would come into contact with SCP-096, 096 would still be crying, since it is not actually sad, but it just appears to be so.
*After the Gate Guardian placed SCP-729-J inside the door he was guarding, the Foundation used SCP-999 to distract the Guardian while the they recovered 729-J.
*When the Foundation used SCP-978 to take a photo of 999, the picture showed it enveloping the photographer who laughs hysterically.
*In "Taste-Testing SCP-999 (for science, I swear)", Dr. Bright consumed some of 999's mass in order to prove that it tasted like tangerines instead of mandarins. However, after eating it he simply described as being the most delicious thing he had ever eaten before the mass began tickling him from the inside.
* In the "Broken Masquerade" canon, when the Foundation made a crappy promotional video targeted to younger audience titled "Keeping it Chill With Your Homies Down at The SCP Foundation", Dr. Henry Ozid of Site-96 General Research and Containment wore a costume resembling SCP-999 and taught the kids the meaning of the word 'anomalous'.
*As part of its objective at helping humanity to cope with various catastrophes, the entity behind SCP-6044 created several kawaii plushies, designated SCP-6044-D, which also included a plushie of SCP-999.
*After the Triumviraté, under the guise of Ambrose Restaurants, opened a new restaurant in SCP-5373, on their dishes titled "Draconic Steak à la beatitudinem" which they used to trap unsuspecting Faeries seemingly used some of 999's mass as an ingredient.
*In the universe of SCP-6001 where the Compendium, a benevolent amalgam organization of different GoIs, took over the world and declared worldwide peace with all anomalies, SCP-999 is with the Charity who had to be held back from the singularity of A6K by a charity member while getting tickled by 999 in the process.
