SCP-3008

	"Mature Content"
	This character or verse has mature themes and concepts, thus those of young age are ill-advised to look through these.

Background

SCP-3008 is a large retail unit previously owned by and branded as IKEA, a popular furniture retail chain. A person entering SCP-3008 will be translocated to SCP-3008-1, a space resembling the inside of an IKEA furniture store that extends far beyond the limits of what could physically be contained within the dimensions of the retail unit.

SCP-3008-1 contains instances known as SCP-3008-2, humanoid entities that possess exaggerated and inconsistent bodily proportions, often described as being too short or too tall, along with wearing a yellow shirt and blue trousers consistent with the IKEA employee uniform.

SCP-3008-1 has a rudimentary day-night cycle that affects SCP-3008-2, when it is night, the instances become aggressive and attack all other lifeforms within SCP-3008-1, vocalizing the phrase "The store is now closed, please exit the building" in a polite tone. Once it is day, SCP-3008-2 becomes immediately passive and moves throughout SCP-3008-1 seemingly at random, being completely unresponsive and will only react violently if attacked.

SCP-3008-1 has multiple exits located within, however, these do not have a fixed position, making it difficult to leave SCP-3008-1 once inside.

Effects

• Battlefield Removal (Forced Teleportation; A person entering SCP-3008 through the main entrance and then passing out of sight to the doors will find themselves translocated to SCP-3008-1. This displacement will typically go unnoticed as no change will occur from the perspective of the victim and they will generally not become aware until they try to return to the entrance)

• Temperature Manipulation (Despite SCP-3008-1 being a building bigger than some NASA buildings that are so big they have their weather patterns, there is no temperature change ever felt in SCP-3008-1)
