If the process is completely reversed, the bones will cease shortening once returned to their original length and all areas of flesh damaged by the protruding phalanx bones will be instantly healed. Rotating the knob in the opposite direction reverses the growth process. When SCP-1808's adjustment knob is retracted and rotated clockwise, the hands on the watch rotate accordingly, resulting in accelerated phalangeal growth. Subjects experience little to no blood loss when the phalanges penetrate the subject's flesh however, afflicted individuals have reported the growth to be immensely painful. The growth will continue every quarter hour until either SCP-1808 is removed from the subject or SCP-1808's adjustment knob is retracted, halting the watch's timekeeping functions. Every quarter hour, SCP-1808 will play a sound bite of the Spongebob character's distinctive laugh, and the distal, intermediate, and proximal phalanges (bones of the fingers and toes) of the limb upon which SCP-1808 is worn will grow in length by approximately 6cm. Once affixed to a subject, SCP-1808 can only be removed by the individual who originally fastened it. SCP-1808's main anomalous properties manifest when it is worn by a human being or any other creature possessing limbs and phalanx bones.
SCP-1808 operates and is powered via anomalous means, as all watches function normally despite the apparent removal of all interior mechanical components.
Any use of SCP-1808 outside of a strictly monitored testing environment is prohibited.ĭescription: SCP-1808 is the collective designation of six yellow plastic wristwatches decorated with green polka dots and images of SpongeBob SquarePants, a popular cartoon character from the children's television series of the same name.
