Item #: SCP-5057
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5057 is contained in a standard humanoid containment chamber. Excess fluids are to be cleaned as necessary. Consumption of SCP-5057 is strictly forbidden.
SCP-5057 has been assigned to the GoI-3861 research team.
Description: SCP-5057 is a humanoid automaton made of polypropylene plastic, roughly resembling a clown. It is sentient and capable of speech, despite lacking the necessary organs to do so. Though it is capable of movement, SCP-5057 is mostly still and only appears to move when necessary. SCP-5057 secretes a continuous amount of ethylene glycol (CH2OH)22 on its surface, which coats the plastic it is made out of. The entity claims to be fully edible and repeatedly encourages personnel who interact with it to consume it.

Erroneous Assignment

To whom it may concern,
Why on earth was I sent SCP-5057? It's not a Wondertainment product and it's taking away from my containment budget. I assigned one of my Junior Researchers to talk to it and keep it busy for the time being, but I need it reevaluated soon. Please respond ASAP.

Rex: Good morning.Rex: Actually, I'm just here to talk.Rex: No, but that's actually part of what I'm here to talk to you about.Rex: Indeed! Now, let's begin. It says here you are coated in ethylene glycol?Rex: Well, that's the thing. It's a toxic substance.Rex: Well, you're just plain wrong on that. And even if you weren't leaking ethylene glycol, you're still a choking hazard because you're made of plastic.Rex: Yes. You're like if someone tried making a really shitty Little Mister.Rex: Don't worry about it. But back on the subject, you're toxic to consume, and that's why you're here. Well, that and the fact you talk.Rex: We'll go over this again. You are made of plastic and ethylene glycol. You're toxic.Rex: Come on, you can talk. Surely you can think, can't you?Rex: That's the spirit.
[There is a fifteen second silence.]
Rex: Anything?Rex: I'll leave you to it then. You let me know if you get any thoughts in that little pea brain of yours.

RE:Erroneous Assignment

Hello,
I don't understand. It's a humanoid, it's got the paper with the list on it, and it's even got a gimmick. How is that not Wondertainment?

RE:Erroneous Assignment

Hermes,
And yet you get the Misters Against Weed to the right people? This is a crappy knockoff if anything. It for sure isn't Wondertainment, any schmuck off the street could tell you that. Do I need to go into your office and shove my Wondertainment dissertation in your faces?
Anyway, I thought I'd save you some trouble and have my assistant start building a relationship with SCP-5057 to make questioning it easier. It doesn't seem very smart, so I have suggested he try befriending it.

Rex: Good morning. How are you feeling today?Rex: Ah, so you're thinking about what I told you last time? I wasn't sure you had it in you.Rex: Theoretically. I mean, you're -
[SCP-5057 interrupts Researcher Rex.]Rex: It could be any reason. Maybe whoever made you is a sicko. Maybe they just don't know any better. All we can say for sure is that you're here now because of them.Rex: You sure are. But you know, you can pick up hobbies and try something to get your mind off of it.Rex: You managed to think, I'm sure you could figure it out if you tried.Rex: Of course I do.[Rex sighs.]
Rex: Okay. So, you understand that you're toxic. That's good. But it sounds like maybe it's eating at you. May I suggest something to help get your mind off of things?Rex: Why don't you try painting?Rex: Well, you just sort of illustrate how you're feeling using paint and whatnot. Like you just create whatever is on your mind and you put it to paper. Or in this case, canvas.Rex: That's the spirit, friend.Rex: A friend is someone who is there for you and shares in good times and bad, and always makes you feel better. Someone you trust completely.
(There is a ten-second silence.)Rex: That's awful sweet of you. So you'll tell me everything then?Rex: And you trust me too?Rex: Good. That's good. Since you trust me, why don't I give you a cool new nickname?Rex: I'll call you Taste. How does that sound?Rex: Why don't we get you some art supplies so you can busy yourself, huh?

Hello,
You mentioned earlier that you had your assistant build rapport with SCP-5057. Maybe now would be a good time to press it for information on its history? We finally assembled a team for the project and idle hands are the devil's playthings after all.
Thanks in advance.

Portrait produced by SCP-5057.

<BEGIN LOG>
Rex: Good morning, Taste.Rex: Oh?
[SCP-5057 picks up a canvas with a crudely painted image of two individuals. One resembles SCP-5057 and the other is labeled 'REX'.]
Rex: Aw. That's… cute, I guess. Thank you.Rex: Maybe you'll get better with time. But for now, I have some questions I wanted to ask you.Rex: I wanted to ask you some more about Professor Funtastic. What do you know about them?Rex: Do you think he had any ill will? Considering he made you toxic to consume and all?Rex: I see. So cutting corners and not wasting a dime. Did he ever mention Dr. Wondertainment, by any chance? Perhaps they were associates? Competitors, even?Rex: And do you know where his base of operations is?Rex: Hmm… aren't we friends, Taste? Friends tell each other everything.Rex: Perfect! So tell me, where is Professor Funtastic?Rex: Do you know what other names he goes by?Rex: Do you know if he's got any abilities? Like anything to help him create anomalies like you?Rex: Do you know anything? Anything at all?[Rex sighs.]Rex: You know, friends aren't supposed to let other friends down. You're kind of letting me down here, Taste.Rex: Then tell me, your friend, everything you know about Professor Funtastic.Rex: Hmm… I'm not sure I believe you.
[SCP-5057 begins weeping.]Rex: Alright, fine.
[Rex pats SCP-5057 on the back. The sleeve of his lab coat is coated in ethylene glycol.]
Rex: Ugh.
[Rex stands and removes his lab coat, wiping his hand with it.]
Rex: I gotta go for now, bud. Thanks again.<END LOG>

Please do hurry with the transfer, I'm stretched a bit thin and can't afford to have my assistant waste time pretending to be friends with this thing. I've told him to drop the act moving forward.

Rex: Hello.
[Rex drags a cart into the containment chamber.]Rex: I'm here to make sure everything is in order before you leave. You're being moved to a new containment area.Rex: It's just how things go.Rex: That's entirely up to you.Rex: Sure.Rex: Stop asking me questions.Rex: It's just the way things are.[There is a thirty-second silence while Rex moves SCP-5057's paintings onto a cart.]
Rex: Well guess what? No one here cares about how you feel.Rex: Of course you don't understand. You're just a stupid little plastic failure of a children's product.
[Rex opens the containment chamber door and pushes the cart through.]Rex: That's not my problem, SCP-5057.Rex: I'm not your friend.Rex: We are not friends, SCP-5057. Do not press this further.Rex: No. I never was your friend.
(There is a ten-second silence.)
