SCP-8974 - Kami no kajitsu

Item # : SCP-8974

Object Class : Keter.

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-8974 is to be contained in a reinforced anomalous item containment cell.

A Level 4 clearance must be in order to perform experiments on the object. It is forbidden to eat it without authorization under penalty of demotion to Class D.

Special toilets are designed to recover the object when it is ejected from its host, it must then be cleaned of excrement before being returned to its Containment room. Anyone who ingests the object must be closely monitored by the Foundation.

Description: SCP-8974 is a white cherry-like fruit 10 cm in diameter, with two big leaves partially surrounding it at the base.

In itself, the object is innocuous but it is effects on its consumer which are abnormal.

When this is ingested (partially or totally), the subject undergoes no immediate change. But during the hours that follow, the subject manifests more and more strange powers. The transformation is complete after 10 hours, in which its host abandons its activities to go and reject it through its rectum like any food, it should be noted that the object emerges completely intact from its intestinal journey. However, if the object is eaten by several people, it will reappear intact within a radius of 10 m after the rejection.

At this time, the person's abnormal powers fully manifest. These powers are directly related to desires to achieve things that are impossible for any human being.

Experiments have shown that an outside influence is linked to these powers, some subjects have received powers or even had a pronounced modification of their bodies that are very similar or even exactly the same as the fictional powers of popular culture because the subjects of experiments wanted to have them for "real".

However, it is impossible for the subject to re-ingest SCP-8974 a second time as it tastes so foul that the host almost immediately spits it out.

The object was first recovered in Japan in 2007 in the Yamanashi area.

Agent ["Deleted"] was investigating an ancient cult worshiping a fruit that would grant the power of the gods.

He ends up finding an old temple in ruins, facing Mount Fuji corresponding to the descriptions of the time.

He then discovered the fruit in the temple, placed on a pedestal.

At that time, he hadn't found anything abnormal in the area and thought that this fruit would be part of his evening dinner.

In the evening when he returned home, he prepared dinner and ate the fruit with his fiancée. The next 10 hours that followed were strange for the couple the next day. They saw things no one else saw and manipulated strange, unfamiliar powers that seemed to manifest more and more distinctly. Eventually, their bodies rejected the fruit they had eaten and their powers fully awakened.

The agent ["Deleted"] had powers that were exactly the same as those of his favorite series "Bleach" while his fiancée had awakened powers similar to those of his series of which she was a fan, namely "Jojo Bizarre Adventure". . The couple of course managed to hide them and the ["deleted"] agent managed to convince her fiancé to throw it away to prevent it from falling into the wrong hands, in reality he warns the foundation of the anomaly and it was contained within Site-Mayim in Jura department in France.

Due to SCP-8974's anomalous properties, Agent ["Deleted"] has been downgraded to Class-E for an indefinite period.

He is currently being monitored with his fiancé by the Foundation.

Addendum 1:

A series of experiments called EWI (Eat Without Influence) are performed from subjects who have been little or not influenced by popular culture.

These experiments were operated on D-Class having had an exemplary behavior and having no harmful intention towards others.

Experience EWI-01:

D-7856 was introduced to SCP-8974. She was ordered to eat it as a "reward" for her good behavior in the Foundation.

She ingested the fruit and then returned to her D-Class activities.

The abilities she developed after 10 hours were exceptional bodily abilities for a human being. She was able to lift loads over 500 kg effortlessly, run at over 60 km/h and jump 10 meters high.

Due to his relatively normal powers, no containment was considered by the Foundation.

Experience EWI-02:

D-4578 was introduced to SCP-8974. His powers obtained from him were that of seeing through walls and reading the thoughts of others. He was shot by the Foundation because he was considered too dangerous.

Experience EWI-03:

D-13876 was introduced opposite SCP-8974. He got one power, that of flying like a bird.

The latter was forbidden from trying to flee the Foundation with this power.

The experiments have ceased because introducing Class Ds to an SCP that can give them the powers, they want is an easy way to escape.

In addition, Doctor Shaw decided who should tackle "more interesting" powers that are more influenced by popular culture.

Addendum 2:

Experiments now take place with Foundation agents. Their acronym is now EWPP (Eat with Popular Powers).

Experience EWPP-01:

Agent Yuta was introduced facing SCP-8974. His body has changed somewhat as he now has a monkey tail, spiky black hair and a more imposing build.

He explained that he can now transform into a "Super Saiyan" and can do the attacks from his favorite series.

Of course, the Foundation ordered him not to abuse them and to use them only within the framework of the Foundation.

Experience EWPP-02:

Agent Myriam has obtained a rather mysterious power from SCP-8974. Its body can become all white, malleable, grow up to 40 meters in height and can spread huge wings. We will learn from the agent that she became "Lilith" from the Evangelion series that she loved so much. Yet she swore not to cause a "Third Impact" on Earth.

The Foundation took precautions by giving her the number of SCP-8974-1.

Experience EWPP-03:

Agent Arianne has obtained powers that can manipulate atomic particles. She says she really liked the character of Atomic Samurai who is able to cut matter at the level of the atom.

Notes from Doctor Shaw:

I believe manga has become the new benchmark for SCP-8974 gaining powers.

American comics have clearly not been renewed while French comics are inexorably forgotten.

Experience EWPP-04:

Agent Marie obtained a very peculiar form from SCP-8974.

Her hair has turned white, her skin has turned pale, while she wears a strange costume with Japanese symbols all over it. Her face was particularly affected, a kind of bony growth grew on his forehead while his eyes turned purple with concentric circles spread over the entire surface.

Agent Marie explained that she loved Madara Uchiha's character and wanted to get her powers.

Agent Marie has been warned not to abuse her powers, which are decidedly dangerous.

Experience EWPP-05:

Agent Alban has been granted a very special power by SCP-8974.

He could conjure up golden armor representing the sign of Sagittarius and assemble it around himself. He could also project energy attacks beyond all conception.

He confessed that he wanted to be like Aioros of Sagittarius and that he was able to have the power of Cosmos.

Council 05 has ordered a suspension of experiments on SCP-8974. They are considered too dangerous because "empowering people too enthusiastic for measured use".
