    but they don't have to LOSE anyone in Candy Land. As a matter of fact, they could have to send in a squad to retrieve the Class-D personal because they are wrecking shit up in Candy Land and eating the people.

    they were suppose to build a big sky scraper there but budget stuff happened and the city abondoned the project. They recently had a contest for what to do with the hole. I don't remember what one, but the best idea was definately the garden and GIANT SWIMMING POOL

    Hmmm...yes this does sound interesting. Perhaps we could have video images of candy land from drones at first, then we send in actual people that come back with rather pleasant tales and free samples from the place or something. Perhaps it is used for personnel vacations.

    My first thought was that too, but I don't think that's what they're looking for. The quiz implies that it's somehow related to the SCP wiki.

    any non organic matter brought into Candy Land is turned into candy. When removed from candy land it returns to its normal state. This includes candy (and candy people) from Candy Land. So you a ton of candy, come back through, and WHOOP, all that peppermint was really lead. Or like pens or something

    Experiment Log 1052-B

    Subject D-704-12 discovered upon re-entry of CL that all inanimate objects on his person were immediately converted into confectionary upon arrival. Further study required

    Researcher's notes:
    If I hear one more report of any..."illicit material" being brought into CL's environment as a practical joke termination will be considered.

    Experiment Log 1052-C

    Continuing from 1052-B, any inanimate objects converted into confectionary, then re-introduced into Reality-1 results in prior transformation. Tests have shown that damage sustained within CL remains on the object. Command advises no "in-flight" snacking be done. Really people this is for your own good.

    Ok found Paradox:

    Paradox / Pair Of Ducks: Our chat owner! Has been called one of the nice guys. He's also been called unhinged, so take that as you will. Overall, one of the more newbie-friendly guys, and easily found in the chat. Feel free to ask him about SCPs idea, or to edit an article for you. Very active in quality control. Oh, and he's got kind of a quirky sense of humor, especially in chat, so if he's annoying you just tap him lightly on the nose with a newspaper.

    A complaint by one Agent has been submitted to me. This man purchased a jet ski for "experimental purposes" to see the effects when exposed to CL's environment. The vehicle, however, was too large to enter containment field __ where the portal is located. Further requests to either modify the entrance or refund the expense of the jet ski have been denied. People, I may observe your idiocy, but I am not here to cure it.

    Sincerely, Dr. ______


    Experiment 1052-H

    Test to observe the exposure of SCP-447 to CL's agriculture. Upon arrival 447 maintained structural integrity and was not converted to confectionary. This supports argument that 447 is of organic material, not a composite of various elements and/or plastics.

    Addendum 1052-A

    SCP-447 accidentally came into contact of the corpse of one of CL's inhabitants during a botched greeting. Results show that [DATA EXPUNGED].

    Researcher's notes:

    Yeah, we're not doing that again.

    Interesting, but we must first consider the origin of candy itself. What's a vague/mysterious way that this portal could come about? Perhaps even in a disturbing fashion.

    Also, referring to candy as confectionary is a great idea.

    Well the word candy derives from Sanskrit and Davidian which means the portal may have to be placed in India or South East Asia in general. How about this for an origin/discovery?
    Description: SCP-1052 (so far no idea what number they're up to so I'll just keep using this) was discovered in 18__ by ____ _______ during an expedition in Nepal to investigate possible SCPs located near or even at the summit of Mount Everest. While scouting around the southern border of the Terai plains the portal was discovered underneath an arch on __/__/__ made out of an unknown white mineral. Tests have been conclusive and results show the material is [DATA EXPUNGED]. _______ ordered a scout team to enter the portal and hopefully recover and items, organic or not, from the destination. Two hours after entrance the team emerged, however three members of the five-man group were missing while the remaining three were heavily wounded, yet delirious and borderline euphoric. One member _____ ___ was so badly wounded that he soon succumbed to his injuries yet it was noted that he “died with a jubilant grin on his face” as noted by the journal entry of one expedition member.

    After recounts from the surviving men had been gathered, that of a colourful land filled mainly with primary colours along with ones “indescribable” at the time, _______ retracted all members and left the site to be further examined at a later date. By now we have come to understand most of these unknown shades as pink, purple, ____ and ______. The rest, however, remain unclassified. The euphoric feelings expressed by the scout team also were explained due to the fact that most of the world they encountered on the other side of the portal as being edible. They went into great detail about the material they came across, ranging from different flavours and textures as well as varying degrees of “sweetness” and “ecstasy”. When questioned on the two men who did not return they described how one was pulled “into a stream of blue gelatine that consumed him whole after he tried to submerge his head and shoulders into the sticky, but sumptuous flavour.” They assured that he died with a smile on his face. The other member, however, did not perish but merely refused to leave. Nobody blamed him.

    On January _ in 19__ a second expedition was sent to locate the portal once more. By this point another anomaly presented itself. Though the world had changed after the initial discovery, the portal still lay on the border directly separating Nepal and most northern tip of India. The arch was also reported to not have experienced any damage due to environmental externalities. Further testing on the resistance of this mineral is to be done.

    Agents and Class-D personnel sent into the portal, now confirmed to be “rainbow-coloured” and forever “swirling”, were equipped with GPS and recording devices. Researchers on-site noted that upon entry these pieces of equipment stopped functioning; strangely though upon arrival they came online again. Attempts to locate the team with the GPS proved futile, unfortunately, due to the system not registering the location on any map, terrestrial or otherwise. Observations from the other side appear to add credence to what _______’s men faced. All vitals remained normal, with a slight increase in endorphin levels, and a sudden spike in hunger. Environment proved to be stable and habitable, with the excursion team running into native fauna, flora and indigenous people.

    That could work. What do you think about the portal not killing anyone? Or at worse they enter a diabetic coma of some kind or develop diabetes. Also we should make it so that any form of life on the other side is only evidenced by unsubstantiated sightings.

    Mr ███████ attempted to charge the arresting officers while brandishing SCP-572, screaming that he would "take their heads, and with it, their power." As Mr ███████ was overweight and badly out of shape, officers successfully pacified him using TASERs and flexible baton (beanbag) rounds fired from a 12-gauge shotgun.
