Description:
SCP-035 appears to be a white porcelain comedy mask, similar in appearance to those used in the Greek theater. The mask exhibits no anomalous properties when not worn, but when placed on the face of an individual, it will bond with their skin and become impossible to remove.
Once bonded to a host, SCP-035 will begin to exert a powerful influence over their thoughts and behavior, gradually corrupting them over time. Subjects under the influence of SCP-035 will experience heightened feelings of euphoria and pleasure, often expressing a desire to wear the mask for extended periods.
SCP-035's influence extends beyond mere psychological manipulation, as it has been observed to possess knowledge of historical events and secrets that its host could not possibly know. Additionally, SCP-035 has been known to engage in conversation with its host, often using persuasive tactics to manipulate them into carrying out its wishes.
Despite its seemingly benign appearance, SCP-035 has demonstrated a malevolent and sadistic nature, often encouraging its hosts to engage in violent or destructive behavior. Subjects under SCP-035's influence have been known to exhibit psychotic and homicidal tendencies, posing a significant threat to themselves and others.
