Hey guys, TheDoctor1998 here with another chapter. This time, it's SCP-002, as well as a little revelation about Doctor Nori.
Now, on with the show!

"Weh!"
"Keep flapping Kid! You're doing great!" Eda encouraged her protege, watching the half human girl get used to her new appendages.
The following evening and morning both went relatively normal, all things considered. Everyone was either chatting or eating as Luz was training with her new abilities. There was some awkwardness about it all though, considering what they just learned about the Human Realm.
Pretty soon, Yahweh entered the room, just as Luz fell on the floor. "I'm fine!" The latina titan called out, not bothered by the fall at all.
"Good, because I think it's time for you to view the next batch of SCPs." The creator of the Earth smiled, noticing the apprehension of some of his guests. "Not to worry, this batch isn't as… extreme as the one from yesterday. In fact, I think some of you might actually like a few here."
The audience quickly went into the viewing room, Yahweh selecting the next file as soon as everyone was seated.
Doctor Nori appeared on the screen. "Good afternoon everyone, my name is Doctor Nori, and today we're going to be studying SCP-002, AKA the "Living" Room.
"Didn't we hear about that one yesterday?" Ed asked, scratching his head.
Lilith simply flipped through her notes. "Yes, it was mentioned with that Sheaf of Papers."
Item #: SCP-002
Containment Class: Euclid
Secondary Class: None
Disruption Class: Vlam
Risk Class: Danger
Camila just sighed, holding her head in her hands. "Can't any of these just be something nice and harmless?"
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-002 is to remain connected to a suitable power supply at all times, to keep it in what appears to be a recharging mode. In case of electrical outage, the emergency barrier between the object and the facility is to be closed and the immediate area evacuated. Once facility power is re-established, alternating bursts of X-ray and ultraviolet light must strobe the area until SCP-002 is re-affixed to the power supply and returned to recharging mode. Containment area is to be kept at negative air pressure at all times.
"Recharging mode?" Alador muttered, writing in his own notes. "So this "Living" Room must be mechanical. Maybe biomechanical?"
Teams including a minimum of two (2) members are required within 20 meters of SCP-002 or its containment area. Personnel should maintain physical contact with one another at all times to confirm there is another person present, as perception may be dulled, skewed, or influenced by proximity to the object.
Amity shuddered, causing Luz to turn to her with concern. "You okay Batata?"
"No." Amity sighed, leaning into the fluffy arms of her girlfriend. "Just makes me think of Odalia."
Emira shuddered as well. "Yeah, I'm just glad that that witch didn't get to use illusion magic, those specters of hers were bad enough as it is."
Luz simply gripped her cotton candy haired goddess tighter, not enough to hurt but more than enough to reassure her.
No personnel below Level 3 are permitted within SCP-002. This requirement may be waived via written authorization from two (2) off-site Level 4 administrators. Command staff issued such a waiver must be escorted by at least five (5) Level 3 Security personnel for the duration of their contact and must temporarily surrender their rank and security clearance. Following contact, command staff will be escorted at least 5 km from SCP-002 to undergo a seventy-two (72)-hour quarantine and psychological evaluation. If deemed fit for return to duty by psych staff, rank and security clearance may be restored when quarantine expires.
Ed winced. "Yup, that thing definitely messes with your head. Me and Em used to do the same thing when we were younger."
Description: SCP-002 resembles a tumorous, fleshy growth with a volume of roughly 60 m (or 2000 ft). An iron valve hatch on one side leads to its interior, which appears to be a standard low-rent apartment of modest size. One wall of the room possesses a single window, though no such opening is visible from the exterior. The room contains furniture which, upon close examination, appears to be sculpted bone, woven hair, and various other biological substances produced by the human body. All matter tested thus far show independent or fragmented DNA sequences for each object in the room.
Most of the audience was slightly disturbed by the Living Room, even those from the Isles that were somewhat used to structures like that. One person, however, had an entirely different reaction. "It's so hooting cute!" The resident house demon exclaimed, looking at SCP-002 in the same way many people look at King.
"Erm, you okay Hooty?" King said, the full blooded titan looking concerned at his home's security system.
"Of course I am, just look at it!" The bird tube exclaimed in joy. "It's like a very big baby house demon, hoot!"
"Huh, it kinda does." Eda said, grimacing.
Refer to the Mulhausen Report [cross-ref:document00.023.603] for details related to object's discovery.
Reference: To date, subject has been responsible for the disappearances of seven personnel. It has also in its time at the facility further furnished itself with two lamps, a throw rug, a television, a radio, a beanbag chair, three books in an unknown language, four children's toys, and a small potted plant. Tests with a variety of lab animals including higher primates have failed to provoke a response in SCP-002. Cadavers as well fail to produce any effect. Whatever process the subject uses to convert organic matter into furnishings is apparently only facilitated by the introduction of living humans.
"Dios mio." Camila muttered to herself. "That thing turns people into furniture."
"Ohhh." Hooty said, sadly. "That poor house demon has rabies."
The eldest Noceda shuddered, wishing to both God and the Titan that that weird bird tube never gets something like rabies.

Mulhausen Report [00.023.603]
The following is a brief report detailing the discovery of SCP-002
"Now we're getting somewhere." Lilith said, scribbling about the house demon-like entity.
Subject was discovered in a small crater in northern Portugal where it struck the Earth from orbit. Encased in a shell of thick rock, the fleshy exterior of the object was exposed by the impact. A native farmer happened upon the site and reported his findings to the village elder. Subject gained SCP attention when a Level 4 agent posted in the area detected a small radioactive anomaly generated by the object.
"Wait, it's from space?!" Gus said excitedly, stars appearing in his eyes.
Hunter on the other hand only frowned. He may only have been into the sci-fi genre for a few months now, but he's seen and read enough to know that something from space that only affects humans is definitely suspicious,
A collection squad of SCP security personnel led by General Mulhausen was immediately dispatched to the area where they quickly secured the subject in a large container and performed initial testing with subjects recruited from the nearby village. Three men individually sent into the structure subsequently disappeared. Upon discovering this deadly property of the subject, General Mulhausen issued a Level 4a Termination Order of any witnesses (roughly 1/3 of the village) to ensure no outside knowledge of the object and initiated its transport to SCP facility [DATA EXPUNGED].
"Dear Titan." Raine whispered. It was one thing for the Foundation to test on the worst of humanity, but these were innocent people.
Luz wasn't faring much better, glyphs starting to appear around her before she was calmed down by Amity.
During preparation for transport, four SCP security personnel were inexplicably drawn inside the object where they too immediately disappeared. Following inspection, it appeared as if the object had "grown" several new furnishings and was beginning to look like the interior of an apartment room. General Mulhausen immediately ordered the requisition of several Class III HAZMAT suits for the remaining security team members, who proceeded to lift the container onto a waiting freight ship for transport to the SCP containment facility.
"Good." Luz said darkly. While she was very much against killing people on principle, she did have to admit that the worlds would be better off when some people died. Belos was one of them, clearly, and this Mulhausen and the men who followed him were among the others.
Eda looked over in concern to her apprentice. Just how much of that bright eyed girl she met that fateful day had been ruined by Belos?
[DATA EXPUNGED]
[DATA EXPUNGED]
Following the termination of General Mulhausen, SCP-002 was re-secured by SCP staff and brought into special containment in [CLASSIFIED], where it currently resides. Staff with clearance below Level 3 have been denied access to the SCP-002 container without prior approval of at least two Level 4 staff after the Mulhausen incident.
"Good to see that that fucker died." Eda bluntly said.
"Please, have some class." Darius said, rubbing his eyes in annoyance. He did have to agree with that sentiment though, Mulhausen did deserve death for what he did.
Doctor Nori appeared on the screen again. "Well, that was a disgusting one to read. At least Mulhausen got what he deserved for not following the rule about being cold instead of cruel."
"Cold instead of cruel?" Jerbo said, frowning as he took that in.
"Guessing that means that, while the Foundation is willing to do horrible stuff, they do try to make sure that their evil doesn't outweigh the evil they try to stop." Masha said, grimacing.
"What do you mean?" Vee asked her partner.
"I mean, if there's a world destroying anomaly in a town, and the only thing they can do to stop it is to nuke the place, they'd do it. But they wouldn't if all they need to do is go in there and turn it off." Masha said, elaborating on their previous point. "Don't like it myself, but I do understand. Greater good, y'know?"
A guard was seen walking mindlessly towards SCP-002, almost reaching the entrypoint before a strange purple glyph appeared, pulling him away. "Wha-"
"Hey, what do you think you're doing, stupid?!" Doctor Nori said, the same glyph displayed on her LED eye.
The guard glanced over at 002, fear obvious in his eyes before glancing back at Nori. "T-thank you. I'm Khan."
"Bite me!" Nori said before stomping away, her metal legs leaving slight cracks in the floor.
Khan confusedly looked around before seeing another guard. "Kinda hot?"
The other guard gave Khan a deadpan look. "Dude, the crazy cyborg vampire lady? Really?"
Khan only shrugged in response.
Everyone was wide eyed at what they just saw. "I-I thought humans couldn't use magic?" Lilith said, frantically scribbling something down.
"They can't." Vee said, before glancing at her sister. "Well, not normally, at least. But I don't think she's entirely human."
"Of course she isn't." Alador said. "Those cybernetics of hers go far beyond what we're capable of, and it seems like her glyphs are technological instead of purely magical."
"Also, it looks like she's a vampire." Masha said bluntly.
Eberwolf barked something, prompting Darius to translate. "What is this "vampire" you speak of?"
"Mythological creature, supposedly a human-like being that drinks the blood of other humans." Masha continued, being an expert on humanity's occult beliefs. "If the stories are true, they are practically immortal, but need to feed on people or turn people into more of them to reproduce."
"I just hope the next one isn't as disgusting as this one." Camila muttered, hand on her face and trying to get over the shock that vampires are real too.
"Well, maybe." Yahweh said, interrupting. "It's not nearly as dangerous, at least." Before any further conversation could be made, God selected the next file.
