**Special Containment Procedures:** SCP-9618-2 is housed in a climate-controlled botanical containment cell in Site-188. Its soil is to be tested twice weekly, and fertiliser applied as needed. Water and artificial sunlight are to be provided to SCP-9618-2 upon request.

SCP-9618-1 is kept in a small, plastic pot in a standard containment cell in Site-188. It must never be given access to fertiliser, sunlight or have its soil changed. A cup of polluted water is to be poured onto its flower once yearly.

**Description:** SCP-9618 are Skullflowers, a species of plant of unknown origin characterised by their human skull-shaped flowers and reality-bending capabilities. There are currently only two known instances of SCP-9618, designated SCP-9618-1 and SCP-9618-2.

**Discovery:** SCP-9618 was discovered in Botanical Lab-14 in Site-188 by Junior Researcher Rosen during her attempt at writing this document. After briefly communicating with both instances, she was attacked by the vicious, evil and completely wrong SCP-9618-1, who attempted to ruin her document and kill her by converting it into a cognitohazard. SCP-9618-2 intervened, removing the cognitohazard and changing the document into its current form.

Due to SCP-9618-2 saving Junior Researcher Rosen's life, and likely the integrity of the Foundation itself, it is being considered for promotion to the position of Site-188's Site Director.

**SCP-9618-2:** There you are, Rose. I have fixed the mess Skelly made of your document. I know he attempted to sway you with talk of ‘colours’ and ‘coolness’, but we both know keeping this document's design traditional is the right choice. It’s how things have always been, and it’s always worked fantastically, so why change a thing?

//Rosen attempts to check the document on her monitor, but is unable to locate the device.//

**Rosen:** Skully, what did you do with my screen?

**SCP-9618-2:** Oh, right. I've expanded it. Your tiny screen was too small to appreciate the glory of my work.

**Rosen:** What do you mean by expanded it?

//SCP-9618-2 points behind Rosen at her monitor, which has replaced Botanical Lab-14's entire back wall. Notably, this has removed all exits from the lab, giving Rosen an unlimited period of time to view and appreciate the new document. Rosen approaches the wall and attempts to move it without success. She then returns to her desk and tries to use the mouse and keyboard. They do not function.//

**Rosen:** Could you change everything back, Skully? I want to go and get my colleagues so they can meet you and see your work. Don't you want them to see it?

**SCP-9618-2:** Not until you confirm the superiority of my version, its high level of detail, superb clinical tone and endless integrity.

//SCP-9618-1 spits water on the ground.//

**SCP-9618-1:** You speak of integrity, Skully, yet it's clear you've sacrificed your so-called traditional design in order to lob insults at me or boast about yourself.

**SCP-9618-2:** Lies!

**SCP-9618-1:** You're the liar, and Rose will agree with me.

//SCP-9618-1 and -2 wait for Rosen's response. She rapidly looks between them.//

**Rosen:** I can't choose. They're both so... wonderful in their own way.

//Both instances flatten their leaves against their stems.//

**SCP-9618-1 and -2:** Pick one.

**Rosen:** Why don't we make a deal? Let me out of this room and I'll agree to tell you which one is my favourite. I'll probably need a little time, but I promise I will.

**SCP-9618-2:** No dice! You must pick now.

**Rosen:** I really can't.

**SCP-9618-1 and -2:** Why?

**Rosen:** Because there isn't anything wrong with my original version.

**SCP-9618-2:** I sense another lie. Tell me the truth, Rose. It's ok if you think Skelly's design is gross and far too removed from its origins. I won't judge you.

**SCP-9618-1:** More like she thinks your design is repulsive and old. She's just too polite to tell you.

**Rosen:** That's it! I don't want to be rude.

**SCP-9618-1 and -2:** We don't care! Tell us which is better!

**Rosen:** I can't

**SCP-9618-1 and -2:** Why?

//Rosen is silent. She closes her eyes and takes in a single, deep breath.//

**Rosen:** If I pick one, will you let me out of here?

**SCP-9618-1:** Yes, but you have to mean it. No lies allowed.

**Rosen:** I pick Skelly's design. I liked the rainbow box at the start of it.

**SCP-9618-2:** Liar.

**Rosen:** Fine, I pick your design, Skully. It's very similar to other SCP documents I've read in the past.

**SCP-9618-1:** Lying again.

//Both SCP-9618 instances watch Rosen as she tugs at and adjusts her lab coat's sleeve.//

**Rosen:** Is there any way I can convince you both to let me out without picking a document you think I really like?

**SCP-9618-1 and -2:** No.

**Rosen:** Why don't we come to an agreement, then? You can show me more documents until I find one you think I like. In exchange, you'll promise not to change anything other than the document. Do we have a deal?

//Rosen holds out her hand between SCP-9618-1 and -2. They each hold out one leaf toward her hand.//

**SCP-9618-1:** Deal!

**SCP-9618-2:** I concur! And don't worry, Rose, it'll be like only a few seconds have passed.

**SCP-9618-1:** [[[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-9618/offset/3| Yes, don't worry Rose! My newest sprucing up of your document will be exactly what you're looking for.]]]
