WEBVTT Kind: captions Language: en 00:00:00.190 --> 00:00:04.440 The gleaming steel scissors glide effortlessly through the sheet of red material, slicing 00:00:04.440 --> 00:00:06.740 through as if nothing was there. 00:00:06.740 --> 00:00:09.030 The blood red fabric parts to either side. 00:00:09.030 --> 00:00:13.409 A pair of hands pick up one of the pieces and hold it up into the air. 00:00:13.409 --> 00:00:17.840 The man admires his handiwork before draping the cloth on a dress form and pinning it in 00:00:17.840 --> 00:00:18.840 place. 00:00:18.840 --> 00:00:21.830 Although there are many tables in the large room with sewing machines and mannequins next 00:00:21.830 --> 00:00:23.840 to them, they’re all empty. 00:00:23.840 --> 00:00:26.800 The man works all alone in the big room. 00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:30.810 And it is impossible to notice that he’s an incredibly handsome man too. 00:00:30.810 --> 00:00:34.980 So good looking that no matter your preferences, you can’t help but stop and take notice 00:00:34.980 --> 00:00:40.489 of his perfect facial features, his slim, fit physique, his lithe, dextrous hands. 00:00:40.489 --> 00:00:45.170 He brushes a strand of dirty blonde hair away from his vibrant blue eyes and takes a pin 00:00:45.170 --> 00:00:49.710 out of his mouth before adjusting the fabric just a millimeter more before sticking it 00:00:49.710 --> 00:00:50.710 in place. 00:00:50.710 --> 00:00:54.059 The man steps away from the dress form and admires his work. 00:00:54.059 --> 00:00:56.519 There, absolutely perfect. 00:00:56.519 --> 00:01:01.129 There’s no doubt that this will be the closing look of the upcoming fashion show. 00:01:01.129 --> 00:01:02.639 Another masterpiece. 00:01:02.639 --> 00:01:03.639 Just like him. 00:01:03.639 --> 00:01:05.960 But that doesn’t mean that he’s finished. 00:01:05.960 --> 00:01:09.970 There’s still much to be done and he goes back to work at his table, sewing bits of 00:01:09.970 --> 00:01:14.220 fabric together to create embellishments for the opulent, couture gown. 00:01:14.220 --> 00:01:18.730 He’s so focused on his new design that he doesn’t notice the fashion house’s operating 00:01:18.730 --> 00:01:20.960 manager in the hall outside of the workroom. 00:01:20.960 --> 00:01:25.030 The manager points through the glass window in the door and tells the two police officers 00:01:25.030 --> 00:01:28.190 with him that this is the man they are looking for. 00:01:28.190 --> 00:01:32.470 There’s been a number of tragic and mysterious crimes involving people connected to this 00:01:32.470 --> 00:01:36.740 fashion company, and the police have finally closed in on a suspect. 00:01:36.740 --> 00:01:42.570 Well not the police exactly, but two SCP Foundation agents posing as police officers. 00:01:42.570 --> 00:01:46.530 The Foundation became suspicious after learning that there had been several missing persons, 00:01:46.530 --> 00:01:51.530 murders, and mental breakdowns, all of which involved people connected to this one company. 00:01:51.530 --> 00:01:55.190 And even more specifically, they were all connected to one man. 00:01:55.190 --> 00:01:58.970 There was plenty of evidence that something more than just regular criminal activity was 00:01:58.970 --> 00:02:00.370 happening here. 00:02:00.370 --> 00:02:04.450 Something strange was happening, something anomalous. 00:02:04.450 --> 00:02:08.310 One of the police officers nods at his partner before gesturing for the manager to leave. 00:02:08.310 --> 00:02:11.550 It’s always better not to have civilians present during a containment. 00:02:11.550 --> 00:02:15.780 The incredibly handsome man still hasn’t noticed his guests in the hall, remaining 00:02:15.780 --> 00:02:19.950 completely absorbed in his work, and he doesn’t even look up when the two agents burst into 00:02:19.950 --> 00:02:23.330 the room, both with guns drawn, not taking any chances. 00:02:23.330 --> 00:02:24.330 “Freeze! 00:02:24.330 --> 00:02:28.420 Drop your weapon!” one of the agents shouts, but the beautiful man doesn’t respond, and 00:02:28.420 --> 00:02:31.310 just continues snipping away at fabric with his scissors. 00:02:31.310 --> 00:02:36.050 “I said freeze!” he commands again, and this time, the handsome man at least appears 00:02:36.050 --> 00:02:38.500 to have heard them, finally stopping his work. 00:02:38.500 --> 00:02:42.960 He slowly looks up with his piercing eyes to gaze at the men who have intruded into 00:02:42.960 --> 00:02:44.430 his creative workspace. 00:02:44.430 --> 00:02:46.370 “Drop your weapon, now.” 00:02:46.370 --> 00:02:47.480 the agent tells him. 00:02:47.480 --> 00:02:52.070 The man looks over at his hand which still holds the large pair of scissors and smiles. 00:02:52.070 --> 00:02:56.430 He gently places the scissors down on the table, careful not to let them touch the expensive 00:02:56.430 --> 00:02:58.319 cloth that is rolled out before him. 00:02:58.319 --> 00:03:00.740 “Now put your hands up!” 00:03:00.740 --> 00:03:05.080 This time there’s no response and the man grips the edge of the table, smiling, and 00:03:05.080 --> 00:03:09.200 stares into the eyes of the agents, first one, then the other. 00:03:09.200 --> 00:03:11.570 “Hands up or we’ll be forced to shoot!” 00:03:11.570 --> 00:03:13.910 The smile slowly leaves the handsome man’s face. 00:03:13.910 --> 00:03:18.819 “Will you excuse me for one moment,” he says, though with no hint in his voice that 00:03:18.819 --> 00:03:20.590 it’s actually a request. 00:03:20.590 --> 00:03:25.080 The agents seem unsure of what to do, both of them appear taken aback and confused by 00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:26.640 his nonchalant attitude. 00:03:26.640 --> 00:03:30.849 The handsome man turns away from the agents and quickly steps behind a dressing screen 00:03:30.849 --> 00:03:33.069 that’s been setup near his work table. 00:03:33.069 --> 00:03:37.000 As he walks behind it, he doesn’t break his stride at all, he simply passes behind 00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:40.970 the screen for mere seconds, and steps out on the other side. 00:03:40.970 --> 00:03:44.209 Only once he steps out, it isn’t him anymore. 00:03:44.209 --> 00:03:47.990 The man that emerges from behind the screen is a completely different person. 00:03:47.990 --> 00:03:52.879 Where once he was slim, graceful, clean shaven, and dressed in a fine suit, now he is heavy 00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:56.710 and muscled, like a professional football player, with a thick beard, and dressed as 00:03:56.710 --> 00:03:58.930 if he’s a member of a SWAT team. 00:03:58.930 --> 00:04:02.890 Before the agents can even react to the bizarre metamorphosis, the large man charges them 00:04:02.890 --> 00:04:04.209 and begins attacking. 00:04:04.209 --> 00:04:08.310 He snaps the neck of one and plunges the scissors he snatched off the table into the other’s 00:04:08.310 --> 00:04:09.310 neck. 00:04:09.310 --> 00:04:13.050 More SCP containment specialists, these ones dressed in tactical gear with no attempt made 00:04:13.050 --> 00:04:17.566 to disguise themselves as everyday police, flood into the room and open fire, but the 00:04:17.566 --> 00:04:21.519 man who looks like a Navy SEAL picks up the fallen agent’s guns and begins firing both 00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:22.850 at the same time. 00:04:22.850 --> 00:04:27.730 He outguns and outmaneuvers the agents, effortlessly rolling behind cover while constantly firing, 00:04:27.730 --> 00:04:29.669 taking out agent after agent. 00:04:29.669 --> 00:04:33.500 Screams fill the air, both from the dying SCP agents as well as the civilians who are 00:04:33.500 --> 00:04:37.300 struck through the walls by the onslaught, including the manager who had snuck back to 00:04:37.300 --> 00:04:41.660 the door window to watch what he thought would be the snobby, handsome man being taken into 00:04:41.660 --> 00:04:42.660 custody. 00:04:42.660 --> 00:04:46.910 The window behind the special ops soldier explodes and two SCP agents rapel through, 00:04:46.910 --> 00:04:49.740 catching him by surprise and knocking him to the ground. 00:04:49.740 --> 00:04:53.830 It takes even more agents rushing in to hold the man down as he struggles and screams like 00:04:53.830 --> 00:04:57.430 a wild animal, breaking one of their jaws for good measure before they’re finally 00:04:57.430 --> 00:05:01.520 able to subdue him and confine him with heavy duty straps. 00:05:01.520 --> 00:05:06.600 When all is said and done, seventeen agents and ten civilians have lost their lives, but 00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:09.560 the anomaly has finally been contained. 00:05:09.560 --> 00:05:15.400 Once it is taken to a secured location it is given a new designation, SCP-056, but the 00:05:15.400 --> 00:05:18.940 site staff soon give it a new nickname, calling it simply… 00:05:18.940 --> 00:05:20.880 A Beautiful Person. 00:05:20.880 --> 00:05:25.840 SCP-056 is one of the most deceptive, and one of the most dangerous anomalies known 00:05:25.840 --> 00:05:27.740 to the SCP Foundation. 00:05:27.740 --> 00:05:32.360 It is a being whose size, gender, and appearance can all vary in an instant, and which will 00:05:32.360 --> 00:05:34.380 change in response to its environment. 00:05:34.380 --> 00:05:38.650 The form it has most commonly taken while in contrainment resembles a man who appears 00:05:38.650 --> 00:05:40.290 to be in his mid twenties. 00:05:40.290 --> 00:05:44.449 His exact looks will vary slightly but he will always be what could be described as 00:05:44.449 --> 00:05:48.199 incredibly handsome, at least by traditional societal standards. 00:05:48.199 --> 00:05:52.449 His clothes will change as well to be a style similar to those of other people around him, 00:05:52.449 --> 00:05:56.199 though they will always be of a higher quality and more aesthetically pleasing than anyone 00:05:56.199 --> 00:05:58.150 nearby is wearing. 00:05:58.150 --> 00:06:03.500 While that appears to be SCP-056’s preferred form, it’s far from its only one. 00:06:03.500 --> 00:06:08.350 In addition to the young man, it has also been observed taking on several others including 00:06:08.350 --> 00:06:12.639 a woman with a striking resemblance to Hollywood actress Scarlett Johansson, a form it took 00:06:12.639 --> 00:06:16.660 when walking past a group of a younger female staff; a male bodybuilder who could bench 00:06:16.660 --> 00:06:22.030 press over 250 kilograms, which was 30 kilograms more than the strongest security guard stationed 00:06:22.030 --> 00:06:26.229 at the Foundation site; it took the form of a female doctor who was measured as having 00:06:26.229 --> 00:06:31.350 an IQ score 30 points higher than any on site researchers; as well as non human forms like 00:06:31.350 --> 00:06:36.330 a large, well groomed labrador retriever when it was exposed to another researcher’s dog, 00:06:36.330 --> 00:06:41.699 and an extremely aesthetically pleasing couch when left alone in its own containment chamber. 00:06:41.699 --> 00:06:46.389 These changes from one form to the other occur whenever people lose focus on the subject, 00:06:46.389 --> 00:06:50.650 something that seems to happen when new people are exposed to SCP-056. 00:06:50.650 --> 00:06:55.550 And once they lose focus, it’s able to change in appearance virtually instantaneously. 00:06:55.550 --> 00:06:58.600 Attempts to film the transformation have resulted in the recording equipment exhibiting the 00:06:58.600 --> 00:07:03.610 same effect, seemingly “losing focus” and being unable to see exactly what happens 00:07:03.610 --> 00:07:07.260 when SCP-056 changes from one form to another. 00:07:07.260 --> 00:07:11.170 It’s clothing will change along with its bodily form, though so far it hasn’t been 00:07:11.170 --> 00:07:14.630 observed manifesting weapons or other tools. 00:07:14.630 --> 00:07:19.180 Great efforts have been made to determine SCP-056’s “original” form, though so 00:07:19.180 --> 00:07:21.699 far these have all been met with failure. 00:07:21.699 --> 00:07:25.669 When placed within an empty concrete cell and placed under constant video surveillance, 00:07:25.669 --> 00:07:30.240 the cameras experienced the same loss of focus that others did, and then were met with a 00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:33.009 rather surprising figure left in the room. 00:07:33.009 --> 00:07:39.130 SCP-056 had taken the form of a video camera, similar to the one being used to record it 00:07:39.130 --> 00:07:42.680 though a slightly more advanced and expensive model. 00:07:42.680 --> 00:07:46.940 Additional attempts were made to discover its true form, this time without direct observation 00:07:46.940 --> 00:07:51.100 equipment, with researchers instead making use of passive scans that could detect changes 00:07:51.100 --> 00:07:52.430 to lifeforms. 00:07:52.430 --> 00:07:58.300 When they left SCP-056 alone and monitored it using these tools, what they found was… 00:07:58.300 --> 00:07:59.310 nothing. 00:07:59.310 --> 00:08:02.880 There was no detectable body temperature, heartbeat, or even weight. 00:08:02.880 --> 00:08:08.789 It appeared that when not observed, SCP-056 simply ceased to be. 00:08:08.789 --> 00:08:13.780 Those who have personal contact with SCP-056 often report that the anomalous entity makes 00:08:13.780 --> 00:08:18.560 them feel substandard, or jealous, as if they can’t measure up to it, yet at the same 00:08:18.560 --> 00:08:21.080 time will seem to seek its approval. 00:08:21.080 --> 00:08:26.140 This extends to SCP security staff, who will express a desire to follow its commands, while 00:08:26.140 --> 00:08:30.479 researchers will try to argue with it, something that usually results in them leaving its containment 00:08:30.479 --> 00:08:32.681 cell feeling as though they were outwitted by its itelligence. 00:08:32.681 --> 00:08:39.419 And SCP-056’s expert communication abilities seem not to be limited by complex subjects 00:08:39.419 --> 00:08:41.409 or language barriers. 00:08:41.409 --> 00:08:45.430 Research has shown it to be fluent in at least 200 different dialects, and it has exhibited 00:08:45.430 --> 00:08:50.570 an expert level of knowledge in such varied topics as fashion, automobiles, theoretical 00:08:50.570 --> 00:08:54.930 science, sports, and a multitude of others, all of which it will usually show a greater 00:08:54.930 --> 00:08:57.570 knowledge of than the person it is conversing with. 00:08:57.570 --> 00:09:01.611 And despite leaving the conversations feeling dejected about their own abilities, those 00:09:01.611 --> 00:09:07.020 who talk to it will almost always express a desire to speak with SCP-056 again, as if 00:09:07.020 --> 00:09:10.029 they can’t resist being made to feel inadequate by it. 00:09:10.029 --> 00:09:15.850 A number of tests were then performed to discover just what form SCP-056 would take when presented 00:09:15.850 --> 00:09:20.230 with various situations, and the results were rather interesting. 00:09:20.230 --> 00:09:25.990 In the first, a male Class D personnel was given a knife and told to try and attack SCP-056. 00:09:25.990 --> 00:09:31.260 056 quickly took the form of a young, fit man who was able to effortlessly disarm the 00:09:31.260 --> 00:09:34.890 attacking D Class and killed him with the knife instead. 00:09:34.890 --> 00:09:39.040 In another test, a female D Class entered its cell not with a weapon, but with a bottle 00:09:39.040 --> 00:09:40.530 of expensive wine. 00:09:40.530 --> 00:09:45.020 They were met with SCP-056 in the form of a young, beautiful woman, who accepted the 00:09:45.020 --> 00:09:50.260 wine but upon trying it, spit it out in the D Class’s face and sent them away. 00:09:50.260 --> 00:09:55.141 Next, researchers sent two D Classes in at the same time, one male and one female, with 00:09:55.141 --> 00:09:57.660 no specific orders at all. 00:09:57.660 --> 00:10:02.250 SCP-056 appeared as a beautiful woman in a well tailored business suit who proceeded 00:10:02.250 --> 00:10:06.399 to examine both the D Classes, pointing out their each and every physical flaw before 00:10:06.399 --> 00:10:09.420 sending them too on their way. 00:10:09.420 --> 00:10:12.950 Researchers then tried sending ten Class D personnel into the cell, all of whom were 00:10:12.950 --> 00:10:16.630 male and who had expressed a romantic preference for females. 00:10:16.630 --> 00:10:21.350 SCP-056 appeared as an especially beautiful female in a low cut red dress. 00:10:21.350 --> 00:10:26.880 056 didn’t interact with the group in any way, but after ten minutes the D Classes began 00:10:26.880 --> 00:10:28.670 to look uncomfortable. 00:10:28.670 --> 00:10:32.480 Soon an all out brawl broke out between the D Classes as they violently assaulted each 00:10:32.480 --> 00:10:35.380 other, apparently for SCP-056’s approval. 00:10:35.380 --> 00:10:40.209 056 seened to watch the melee with pleasure for several minutes before calling an end 00:10:40.209 --> 00:10:42.540 to it and sending them all out. 00:10:42.540 --> 00:10:47.740 A member of staff then volunteered to be tested with SCP-056, a level 4 personnel who was 00:10:47.740 --> 00:10:50.810 regarded as being especially beautiful herself. 00:10:50.810 --> 00:10:55.990 She entered SCP-056’s cell, where the anomaly took the form of a similarly beautiful, professional 00:10:55.990 --> 00:11:00.230 looking woman, and the two proceeded to have a conversation, discussing various advanced 00:11:00.230 --> 00:11:01.970 personnel management techniques. 00:11:01.970 --> 00:11:06.100 Their discussion seemed amiable, but after ninety minutes, the staff member appeared 00:11:06.100 --> 00:11:11.000 to become infuriated with SCP-056 and quickly left the room. 00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:16.480 While no crosstests with other SCPs have yet to be performed, when asked about other anomalies, 00:11:16.480 --> 00:11:23.250 SCP-056 shows a rare instance of vulnerability, expressing hatred towards them and even occasionally… 00:11:23.250 --> 00:11:24.480 fear. 00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:29.600 SCP-056 has been relatively benign in its time in SCP containment, seemingly content 00:11:29.600 --> 00:11:31.850 to spend its time around Foundation staff. 00:11:31.850 --> 00:11:36.040 It’s been allowed to have a cell of its own choosing, as well as pick its own furnishings, 00:11:36.040 --> 00:11:39.690 which have tended towards expensive and fashionable decor. 00:11:39.690 --> 00:11:43.680 Security staff assigned to guard it are equipped with high powered tranquilizers and any staff 00:11:43.680 --> 00:11:49.510 that exhibit mental irregularities after extended exposure to SCP-056 must undergo immediate 00:11:49.510 --> 00:11:51.810 psychological examination. 00:11:51.810 --> 00:11:56.730 It has frequently asked for access to
