 Good afternoon. For those who are new, I'm Dr. Theron Sherman, and in today's briefing, we're going to be discussing SCP-4590-J. There isn't any objectionable material in this document, so let's begin. Item Number SCP-4590-J Object Class Euclid Special Containment Procedures SCP-4590-J is to be contained within an artificial bog, containing one specimen of Dracanus in a Bari, known as the Sokotra Dragon Tree, a mated pair of Eos Histrio, known as the Red and Blue Lory, a local population of Ixodes Capulores, known as Diotech, and a replica of Platybela Don Granjeri. Their wood and an appropriate fire circle are also to be provided. The terrarium is safe to enter and observe so long as these requirements are met. Personnel are to respectfully decline any invitation to partake in Armstrong events. Description SCP-4590-J is a male humanoid entity measuring 1.51 meters in height. SCP-4590-J does not display any outward physical anomalies, but is notable for its mode of dress. SCP-4590 wears a cloak of deerskins and beach towels and carries a walking stick at all times, and its face is obscured by a beard and wide-brimmed hat. Additionally, SCP-4590-J will always manifest covered in swamp weed and mud, and make no attempts at cleaning itself. SCP-4590-J-2 is a tribe of between 10 and 16 male and female humanoid entities. Footnote numbers change with each Armstrong event. Female entities are consistent within seasons, but may change from one year to the next. SCP-4590-J-2 specimens will generally manifest with small possessions on their person, including water skins, headbands, and beaded bracelets. SCP-4590-J and SCP-4590-J-2 have limited manifestation periods, occurring on Friday evenings between the first week of June and the first week of August between the hours of 1900 and 2130. These manifestations are termed Armstrong events and are detailed in the log below. Armstrong Event Log July 31, 2015 At 1903 hours, 12 SCP-4590-J-2 specimens, 6 male, 6 female, emerged from the bog and built a fire in the fire pit. Upon completion of successful lighting, subjects remained in the area, regularly looking towards the bog in anticipation. In 1914 hours, SCP-4590-J emerges from the bog and approaches the fire circle. The following conversation is halved. Begin log! SCP-4590-J-2e runs toward SCP-4590-J, throws self-prostrate. Oh, great Japucha master! Is it time for Japucha? Is it time? Turns attention to fire. Oh, great fire! Which is both hot! And also flickery! Is it time for Japucha? Pauses, listens to fire. No! No, it is not time! SCP-4590-J-2 specimens are agitated, wailing and beating upon the ground. SCP-4590-J begins drawing figures in the dirt with the end of its staff. SCP-4590-J-2J approaches SCP-4590-J in supplication. Oh, great Japucha master! Who is master of Japucha? Is it now time? Is it time? Is it time? Dropped to knees. Oh, great dirt! Which is brown and gets everything all dirty, no matter how careful you are. Is it time for Japucha? Sniffs at ground, then licks. No, no, it is not! SCP-4590-J-2 specimens are obviously distressed. They'll begin running around the fire pit or rolling in the dirt. SCP-4590-J continues drawing figures in the dirt. Is heard to repeatedly mutter Japucha. SCP-4590-J-2A approaches SCP-4590-J in desperation. Japucha master! Japucha master! Is it time? Is it time? Approaches nearby bush, grabs leaf in hand. Oh, great shrub! So green and possibly poisonous, is it time for Japucha? Tears off leaf, chews, spits out. No, it is not time! SCP-4590-J-2 specimens have reached the state of despair. SCP-4590-J snaps staff over name and screams. SCP-4590-J-2C taps SCP-4590-J on shoulder. Uh, Japucha master, is it now time for Japucha? Is it time? Oh, great sky! Which is actually more of a roof now that I look at it. Is it time for Japucha? Holds position for 15 seconds. SCP-4590-J-2 specimens are silent. Yes! Yes, it is time! SCP-4590-J jumps around in celebration. SCP-4590-J-2 specimens cheer. It is time! It is time! Come, gather, gather! Come, brothers! Come, sisters! Let us partake of Japucha! SCP-4590-J and SCP-4590-J-2 form a circle. Yes, Japucha, let us Japucha! Prepare yourselves. Japucha, right hand in! Japucha, right hand out! Japucha, right hand in! And shake it all about! Ya do the hokey pokey and you turn yourself around! That's what it's all about! All cheer, fire is extinguished, all return to bog. End log! Thank you for listening.
