SCP-3361.

Item #: SCP-3361
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: Sightings of SCP-3361 are to be intercepted by the nearest Foundation Agents, who are to interview those who have interacted with the entity and administer Class B amnestics as deemed necessary. Followup teams are to be sent under a cover up story of public health investigation in order to increase the overall cleanliness of the area and prevent manifestations of SCP-3361 temporarily. Research into means of more permanent containment is ongoing.
Description: SCP-3361 refers to a sapient image drawn in black ink of a stylized young human male that appears in bathrooms. SCP-3361 is bound to travelling along 2D surfaces but is capable of altering its shape, communicating verbally and perceiving its surroundings normally. SCP-3361 has not been observed entering nor leaving any bathrooms, but it can be found in multiple locations simultaneously. SCP-3361 appears to maintain a single consciousness across its manifestations and seems to be aware of each separate area it is located in. SCP-3361 seems to favor manifesting inside bathrooms with only one occupant, but has been known to speak with groups as well. The entity displays a mostly friendly personality and a fondness for extended and intimate conversation, though it does not seem to understand or care about the privacy required within bathrooms. Should SCP-3361 be ignored or verbally attacked, it will usually demanifest, but may manifest again at any given time. The only effective method of protecting a location from SCP-3361 is to keep it free from graffiti and similar markings, which has proven successful in 83% of cases.
SCP-3361's primary anomaly consists of being able to acquire large quantities of accurate information from human subjects through short periods of conversation. Such information is not always directly related to what is being discussed, and may consist of facts about the subject that they are not aware of themselves. SCP-3361 will often use such information to form a psychological profile of a given subject and attempt to offer them therapy and advice on various subjects. SCP-3361 refuses to reveal private information about people who have confided in it. However, the entity has been known to use the psychological profiles it forms to persuade others into behaving in ways it deems more appropriate. What this means varies between individuals, but follows a pattern of instilling a deep sense of inadequacy, paranoia and disillusionment. No mind-affecting anomaly has been identified in those who have interacted with SCP-3361.

<Begin Log>Agent ███: What the fuck?Agent ███: …I'm taking a shit, you goddamn creep.Agent ███: No it's not. Where did you get that? Actually, hold on. I need to record this.Agent ███: How do you even know that?Agent ███: Don't patronize me. I know my life better than you.Agent ███: Is that some sort of nickname? Who calls you that? And how do you know my name?Agent ███: …I see. Do you interact with other people outside of this bathroom?Agent ███: What sort of conversations do you usually have with people?Agent ███: That's not how this wo— oh, nevermind. Will you cooperate with my questions if I answer yours?Agent ███: Alright. I guess I'm kind of an introvert?Agent ███: Ummm…climbing an apple tree on my own, I think. Or trying to. Got hurt pretty badly, my parents were very worried.Agent ███: …This is getting a little personal, and I'm not getting as much information from you as I should.Agent ███: I'm fine, thank you very much. Now it's my turn to ask a question. How do you keep finding out all of this about me?Agent ███: Are you trying to give me therapy? If so, it's not working. At all.Agent ███: Yes, you're a little invasive, don't you think?Agent ███: Wait, what? What did she tell you? What did you tell her?Agent ███: (Sighing) Alright. So, you can find out arbitrary amounts of information about me apparently at will, but you can't actually use any of that to help me. Why don't you do me a favor and let me conclude the interview?Agent ███: Are you fucking with me right now?Agent ███: (Speaking in an angry whisper) Listen, and listen closely. I don't care about your good intentions. Leave my secrets for me to deal with, got it? I can take care of myself.Agent ███: (Shouting) What do you want me to do? To say that I'm a callous shut-in? That I have trust issues? That I'm a negligent father? If all that's true, then feel free to call me a horrible person!(SCP-3361 demanifests.)
