Item #: SCP-2541

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: Any recovered instances of SCP-2541 are to be stored within a standard anomalous item locker. Use of SCP-2541 is restricted for personnel with clearance below Level-2 unless given permission otherwise. SCP-2541 is not to be used for recreational use by Foundation personnel.

Description: SCP-2541 is the designation for a series of anomalous video tapes which initiate a complex cognitohazardous effect on human subjects who view one of them. Instances of SCP-2541 have been discovered in several forms, including VHS tapes, DVD discs and digital video files, though all are functionally identical and all feature an icon of a stylized yellow lemon somewhere on their packaging. Currently, the Foundation has 328 distinct instances of SCP-2541 within containment.

Upon playing an instance of SCP-2541, human subjects who directly view SCP-2541 will appear to fall into a catatonic state. From the subject's perspective, they will believe they are arriving at a building titled "Your II's Only" (SCP-2541-A), and are greeted by an instance of SCP-2541-1. Should a subject be allowed entry into SCP-2541-A, they will arrive in a non-descript dimly-lit room filled with other subjects under the effects of SCP-2541 participating in group intercourse. In addition, subjects also report seeing several other non-participating instances of SCP-2541-1 around the perimeter of the room.

Subjects report heightened libido and a greater genital sensitivity while within the area of SCP-2541-A, and report the feeling of intercourse with all subjects within SCP-2541-A as feeling akin to actual intercourse. Regardless of any actions subjects believe they are doing within SCP-2541-A, from an outside perspective they will only appear to be speaking aloud to themselves and orgasming, when appropriate.

Instances of SCP-2541-1 appear to be are humans typically of above-average height dressed in black attire with a single yellow lemon pin affixed to their shirt. Instances of SCP-2541-1 under no circumstances ever participate within the group intercourse occurring inside of SCP-2541-A, though may be asked to turn around or provide subjects with various non-harmful items. Instances of SCP-2541-1 are also the only known instances capable of ceasing the cognitohazardous effect upon affected subjects. Instances of SCP-2541-1 only cease the effect if one of the three following conditions are met:

A subject approaches an SCP-2541-1 instance and requests to leave.

A subject has spent more than eight hours under the effects of SCP-2541.

A subject expresses repeated inappropriate or unwanted behavior upon other subjects or instances of SCP-2541-1.

Upon ceasing the effects of SCP-2541, the instance of SCP-2541 will conclude playing and the subject will regain all bodily functions as normal. Subjects will remember their experience under the effects of SCP-2541 as if they were actually present at a group intercourse session.

Addendum 2541-1: Below is an interview Researcher Victoria Forsythe initiated between herself and an instance of SCP-2541-1. As recording equipment within SCP-2541-A is impossible, Researcher Forsythe repeated phrases as they were spoken by the SCP-2541-1 instance so they could be recorded. Extraneous phrases have been removed.

<Begin Log> Researcher Forsythe: Ah, hello! SCP-2541-1 nods. SCP-2541-1: Evening ma'am. Researcher Forsythe: This may be a weird thing to ask, but is it possible that I could ask a few questions about this place? SCP-2541-1 nods. Researcher Forsythe: Excellent. First and foremost, could you explain a bit about why this place exists? SCP-2541-1: I could. Silence. Researcher Forsythe: Will you explain why this place exists? SCP-2541-1: For people to have sex in. Researcher Forsythe sighs. Researcher Forsythe: But why go into all the effort of making it the way you did? SCP-2541-1: I didn't make it. Bobs did. Researcher Forsythe: "Bobs?" SCP-2541-1: Robert and Rupert Weissman. The people that run this place. Researcher Forsythe: Is there some way I can contact them? SCP-2541-1: If you got any complaints about this place, you can take it up with Customer Services. Researcher Forsythe: I don't- Researcher Forsythe interrupts herself and exhales sharply. Researcher Forsythe: Let me try this again. Why did "Bobs" make this place? Why make an anomalous conceptual sex club when they could just make a normal one? Silence. SCP-2541-1: You're Foundation, aren't you? Researcher Forsythe: Excuse me, how do you- SCP-2541-1: If you want specific answers, I'll give you Bobs' phone number. If you want just what I know, all I know is that as long as people are in here, this can be the only conceptual sex club in existence. Researcher Forsythe: How do you know about the Foundation? How did you know that I was Foundation? SCP-2541-1: One, you're repeating everything I say in a very non-subtle way, like you're trying to record what I'm telling you. Two, you're trying to interview a security guard rather than fucking a bunch of people in a magic sex club. Researcher Forsythe: That still doesn't explain how you know about us without us formally knowing about you. SCP-2541-1: I'd guess that most people in the Foundation would rather keep their kinks private. You'd be surprised how many Foundation employees are some of Inevitability Industries' best clients. <End Log>

Post-interview, a survey among several Foundation employees had discovered that ██ Foundation personnel were clients of Inevitability Industries, hereinafter GoI-7058.

Addendum 2541-2: After receiving the phone number for the Persons of Interest known as Robert and Rupert Weissman (PoI-7058-A and PoI-7058-B), Researcher Forsythe proceeded to contact and conduct an interview with them in order to further understand both SCP-2541 and GoI-7058.
