Mr Suicide

[EPILEPSY WARNING FOR VULNERABLE READERS]

## BEGIN PROFILE:

*Subject MR SUICIDE is a painting at approximately three-by-six feet in size, depicting silent film actor and director Max Linder. Subject’s first recorded appearance, according to the diary of the deceased “artist” is approximately on the day that the depicted actor committed what is speculated as either a suicide pact or a murder-suicide with their spouse.*

*The painting and its documentation was found in the many private collections of the notorious Johann Gray after their alleged “death”, brought into Foundation custody after a series of secondary incidents regarding other paintings.*

*The effects of subject were seemingly “contained” by a complex interplay of other effects from subjects in the collection. Due to low level of danger compared to other subjects, alongside extreme effects of interactions between other subjects, it has been deemed preferrable that it be stored independently in Faculty NEURO, in a ten-foot radius chamber, located in [REDACTED]*

*In REST MODE subject appears to be a maroon impressionistic piece depicting the actor, noted as “unsettling” by multiple observers,. Subject exhibits an unorthodox “pulsing” in its image, depicted above, that has been compared to the beating of a human heart. “Offerings” of paint and cellulose film stock must be delivered to its storage chamber weekly to keep it in this mode.*

*“Offerings” must not be delivered by mechanical means but by a human staff member. All staff delivering the food must be placed into a somnambulistic hypnotic state by  Staff with a history of trauma or anhedonic/depressive disorders are disallowed from working with subject.*

*MODE A occurs when a human percieved by the painting as “vulnerable” according to our knowledge (Falling into the factors of those disallowed from contact), or though lack of “offerings,” though showiings of the real Max Linder’s films have been shown in testing to also induce this.*

*In Mode A, Subjects image fades to black and white, indicating “awakening.” A singular human within subject’s “viewing range” (usually the “activator” but; if no “activator” exists, the closest human is chosen) will begin to undergo cellular autocannibalism, beginning with blood vessels and expanding outward. The containment room is designed release an anaesthetic gas upon detection of the primary chemical byproducts of this process, designed for induction of somunamblistic state for halting the process, and activating the combustive flamethrower to “pacify” the painting.*

*Affected persons may survive if they are immediately sent to the curative processes of Subject STEAM ROOM when retrieved by the “Walnut Brigade D,” . In these cases, the trademark side effects of STEAM ROOM usually minimal. Survivors have described the emotions of the process as being “Eaten alive” by entities that; by aggregate of data; have been determined to resemble manifestations of psycological*

*If containment/rescue procedures are unable to activate, upon expiration of the target of MODE A, subject enters MODE B, where the painting begins to gain colored frames in its operative “motion.” It further gains the capacity to appear upon any wall within ten feet, only in the view of a human with the capacity to perceive.*

*Autocannibalistic cellular effects of MODE B are the same as MODE A but more rapid, percentage of survivors being estimated in singular digits. Necrosis will shift to another human in the radius after the first is eliminated, marked by the appearance of subject’s ocular focus “shifting”. Distance appears to be a factor in this shift of focus, but not the primary one, hypothesized to move towards the human detected as the greatest threat. Subject appears to be immune to small arms fire in this mode, but can be avoided by conventional stealth tactics, and extended application of fire may cause subject to shift back to MODE A.*

*MODE END is the final known mode of Subject, marked by flashing harshly contrasting colors; capable of inducing epileptic episodes even in visual recordings. Vertically oriented surfaces within a ten foot radius will immediately be covered by painted depictions of mixed facial features, spreading in a manner compared by those observers contacted (living and post-mortem) to cancer tissue.*

*Subject will begin to engage in the “process” with all individuals within its view. Subject’s surface will also begin to engage in a cryptomemetic “call” in an increasing radius; compelling all individuals with potential to activate MODE A within a [REDACTED] radius to move towards Subject.*

*This appears to be a compulsion to be within their line of observation; for the sake of autoinjurious “punishment: as testified by post-facto interviews. Preceding incidents included one individual affected who appeared to be drawing a mimesis of subject’s “spreading” utilizing fluids such as his own blood and [REDACTED]*

*If this occurs, BLACKOUT PROTOCOLS MUST BE ENACTED. Do not attempt external contact, do not attempt to engage Subject. Move to activate PROCEDURE BACKDRAFT and reach authorized G.U.F.F. Escape Vehicles. Staff at Faculty NEURO are expected to be outfitted with necessary hardware to avoid subjection to memetohazard.*

*Psionic analysis has suggested subject possesses sapience. Attempts have been made to contact such, but they have met with pure neural silence. Levels of neural silence are several factors beyond the average background levels that would suggest non-response, indicating that this is an active choice.*

## Author Commentary

It's another G.U.F.F. Entry, this time previewed on my Patreon days before posting! This is another one I made the images for before writing, and boy do I worry about it being too standard in terms of concept for an SCP-LIke. Your thoughts?

And yes, I did make images of Modes A, B and End, but I didn't post 'em because.... well, quite bluntly they're a major epilepsy hazard. I may eventually post them in a Imgur gallery if you want 'em tho!
