After the terror brought by the three Death Gods, the world didn't expect the next file to bring laughter and peace.
[Project Designation: SCP-999 — "The Tickle Monster"]
[Object Class: Safe]
James, newly appointed as Chief Researcher, raised an eyebrow as he opened the file.
Dr. Kondraki, standing nearby, groaned. "Seriously? This assignment is ridiculous. Do you know how many people beg for the 999 file?"
He pointed at James with a sour expression. "You must be someone's favorite in the O5 Council. Otherwise, why would they dump this golden task on you?"
James didn't reply, but the moment the file opened, the live stream chat exploded with confusion.
"SCP-999? Why's it called the tickle monster?"
"Is this some kind of joke after all that death god trauma?"
"Finally, a Safe-class! I was starting to think every SCP was an apocalypse waiting to happen."
S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters.
Natasha Romanoff let out a long breath. "Thank God. I thought James had become the new poster boy for Keter-class nightmares."
But Nick Fury wasn't convinced. His instincts whispered that something was off.
"Why would the O5 Council assign James to a Safe-class?" he muttered. "There's always another layer with them…"
"Boss," Natasha said, rolling her eyes, "not everything is a conspiracy."
Nick didn't respond. He kept his eye on the screen.

[Containment Procedures: SCP-999 may move freely within the site during the day. Between 8-9 PM, it must return to its room. Staff must feed it twice daily and ensure the room stays clean.]
[During downtime, staff are encouraged to spend time with SCP-999 — especially when it's bored. Speak to it gently and avoid sudden aggression.]
The live stream exploded.
"This is a containment file?! This thing has a bedtime?"
"Are we sure 999 isn't just a dog in disguise?"
"Wait… the Foundation plays with it when it's bored???"
Back at SHIELD, Natasha laughed. "Now I really want to see what this thing is."
Nick Fury, still skeptical, kept watching.

[Description: SCP-999 appears as a large, gelatinous, orange-yellow slime-like creature.]
[It weighs approximately 54 kg and resembles a living bean bag chair. Its structure is semi-transparent, elastic, and composed of an unknown, oil-like substance.]
[The outer layer is like a soft animal membrane, about 0.5 cm thick. It can flatten parts of its body and stretch out like silly putty.]
[While capable of drinking liquids, SCP-999's skin repels water. Its internal structure is jelly-like and it can digest organic matter easily.]
Marvel viewers blinked.
"Wait… It's literally a blob?"
"An orange slime with healing powers?!"
"So it's… Play-Doh come to life?"
S.H.I.E.L.D.
Natasha was still smiling. "That's adorable."
Nick Fury, though skeptical, muttered, "A blob that the Foundation keeps happy with snacks and hugs... This feels too cute."
---
[Behavior: SCP-999 is extremely playful and behaves like an overly excited puppy.]
[It rushes toward humans, wraps them with slime tendrils, and begins tickling them while giggling loudly.]
[Its surface produces smells based on the person it interacts with — from chocolate to roses to fresh laundry.]
At this point, everyone — even hardened SHIELD agents — began to melt.
"I want one."
"Can I adopt it? Please?"
"It's literally a therapy blob!"
---
[Effects: Touching SCP-999 immediately induces euphoria. Emotional healing increases with exposure. Even after separation, the uplifting effect lasts for hours.]
[SCP-999's favorite activity is tickle fights — wrapping humans and playfully tickling them until they cry with laughter.]
[Though some injuries may occur from excessive tickling, SCP-999 has never intentionally harmed anyone.]
[When it accidentally causes pain, it curls into a ball and whimpers like a puppy.]
Even James cracked a rare smile while reading this section.
Dr. Kondraki pointed at him. "Aha! There it is! Even you couldn't resist."
James ignored him and kept reading.
---
[SCP-999 shows deep empathy. It prefers to comfort sad or injured individuals.]
[Subjects with PTSD or depression report massive emotional improvement after interaction.]
[Its slime is currently being studied as a potential antidepressant.]
S.H.I.E.L.D.
Every agent now wanted to volunteer for the 999 program.
"Let it hug me!" one agent joked.
Nick Fury looked mildly disturbed.
"I don't trust anything that smiles that much."

Kamar-Taj.
Apprentices were already arguing about who would summon it first if it ever came to their temple.
The Ancient One, however, narrowed her eyes.
"Too simple… This assignment doesn't fit James. Unless…"
She suspected there was more — as always.

[Additional Notes: SCP-999 refuses to eat meat and loves candy. It enjoys playing with modern tech, including guns. Its intelligence is debated, but its understanding of human speech is undeniable.]
At the bottom, James spotted something strange.
A short note from the Foundation read:
"WARNING: Do NOT feed SCP-999 any caffeinated drinks."
He raised an eyebrow. "Why?"
Dr. Kondraki groaned. "Ugh. Last week, some idiot gave it a Coke. That little slime bounced off the walls for 30 minutes. Looked like a pinball machine."
He sighed. "It was so hyper it got sick from the carbonation and refused to move for the rest of the day. We had to discipline the staff responsible."
The live chat burst out laughing.
"This is the most adorable SCP ever!"
"From death gods to soda-sick blob babies… what a rollercoaster!"
James finally looked up from the file.
"This still doesn't explain why I was assigned."
Dr. Kondraki shrugged, smirking. "Honestly? Might be because of this."
He pulled out a videotape and tossed it across the table.
"A cross-experiment. Between SCP-999... and SCP-666."
James immediately froze.
S.H.I.E.L.D.
Nick Fury's eyes narrowed.
"I KNEW IT! I TOLD YOU!"
Natasha groaned.
Kondraki continued, "Last week, some genius thought it'd be 'fun' to see what would happen if we let the Tickle Monster interact with SCP-666—also known as... The Crimson King."
