SCP-185-FM

SCP-185-FM's primary instance.

The SCP-185-FM trunk.

## **`DESCRIPTION`**

SCP-185-FM consists of seven items, only two of which exist as physical objects while in an inactive state. While in an inactive state, the items consist of a large, antique storage trunk, within which is a fetishistic head harness. Once the harness is worn by a human subject, the first anomalous trait of SCP-185-FM becomes apparent, with the materialization of five additional items within the trunk. Each item is another piece of leather fetish-wear typically associated with 'ponyplay'. When the head harness is removed, the other five instances of SCP-185-FM instantaneously dematerialize. All instances of SCP-185-FM and the chest itself have, so far, proven impervious to all forms of damage.

The chest is of unknown origin, however recovered documentation lists the harness' creator as John Alexander Scott Coutts, also known as John Willy, a popular fetish magazine publisher active from 1946 to 1956. According to his notes, Willy created the harness in relation to his magazine's content, as well as for private use. It is unclear if the additional items began as strictly tangible objects, or are simply manifestations of the harness. Through an as of yet unknown ritual, Willy was able to imbue the chest and harness with anomalous traits. He then detailed his desire to test the item, leading to Willy's retirement and the sale of his company, which became defunct within another three years. Willy moved to Hollywood, California in the United States, where he disappeared from the limelight.

The official story was that he developed a brain tumor and destroyed his records, before moving back to England. This was, however, a Foundation cover story. In truth, Willy grew curious about his creation and chose to try it on himself. The result was his inability to remove the item, as well as triggering its second anomalous effect.

While wearing the first instance of SCP-185-FM, those around the wearer will be unable to recognize them as anything but a member of the equine species, specifically a horse. The wearer's speech will be heard as the sounds of a horse and other humans will respond as they would toward a normal horse. The item is also unable to be removed except by the person who placed the item on the wearer, or until that person's death. If the possessor puts the item on however, the item will remain stuck in place until their death, at which point its effects will cease. Those aware of its effects will be able to rationalize that the affected is in fact human, but will still only see and hear a horse. Only the person placing the item on the wearer will still see and hear the wearer as a human. In addition, the wearer is incapable of causing harm, directly or indirectly, to the person who placed them in SCP-185-FM, or of leaving their proximity without express permission.

While under this effect, a horse trainer found Willy and forced him into their trailer, taking him back to their farm. In 1961, after five years being tended to and trained as if he were an equine, Willy broke his leg, prompting his "owner" to "put him down". Once deceased, by a single gunshot wound, the anomalous effect had ceased and the horrified horse trainer called the police. The Foundation was notified by their agency contacts and immediately intervened. Willy's records were recovered and staged to look as if he had destroyed them. The owner was interviewed and then amnesticized, with the cover story of Willy's cancer, departure and eventual death being put into place. The chest and its contents were then taken into custody.

During testing, the SCP Foundation learned of SCP-185-FM's additional anomalous properties. Each additional materialized item has a different, unique effect on the wearer. The items and their effects are detailed below:

* Ears: False horse ears that, when placed on the head of the wearer causes the wearer to be unable to resist commands given by the individual who had placed them in the harness.
* Hand Binders: A pair of black leather binders designed to fit over one's hands, preventing all finger movement. When both are touched at the same time by the individual who had placed the wearer in the harness, the wearer's hands will be dragged behind their back and fastened together by an invisible force, despite a lack of buckles. Reversing the action will undo this.
* Ring Gag: A gag in the shape of an 'o'. Placing it on SCP-185-FM's wearer will prevent them from creating human speech, all noises coming out being what can be described as 'whinnies'. The gag seems more flexible than a normal Ring Gag and does allow the wearer just enough room to eat, but keeps their mouth partly open indefinitely. It also seems to stimulate saliva production.
* Muzzle: A black leather pouch that straps over the mouth of the wearer of SCP-185-FM. It continuously replenishes, through unknown means, with a mixture of oats, corn and rice, among other dietary items common of horse consumption. Despite the lack of variety for a human diet, it seems to provide the wearer complete nutritional coverage. Despite the irregular, somewhat horse shaped item, the food always reaches the wearer's mouth with little problem. In addition, the greater the quantity of food ingested, the more the item triggers the release of hormones in the wearer's body most responsible for sexual arousal in that person's biological sex. This occurs even in instances where the wearer is transgender, neutralizing existing hormone therapies, or in cases where the wearer is asexual, inducing sexual urges; in most cases, much to the wearer's dismay.
* Bridle: This item cannot be worn at the same time as the two previous items. Like the Gag, this item restricts the user to sounds typical of a horse. And like the Muzzle, it causes arousal and a release of hormones in the wearer, regardless of typical arousal or gender identity, the longer it is worn. In addition, it imbues the wearer with far greater strength, able to easily pull heavy loads with only reins attached to the bridle.
