Overview

"I can grant wishes. But not all wishes should come true."

- Ms Mirabilis

---

Group #:	GoI-1995-DE "Das Wunderkabinett"
Members:	Is currently estimated to be approx. 6
Resources:	approximately 15,000 Euro per year; anomalous capabilities; anomalous vehicles; spatial anomaly
Status:	Active
Description:	This organization consists of a small group of anomalous individuals who own a business with which they sell anomalies. The group, which operates under the name "Das Wunderkabinett"1, has existed since 01.05.2000 at the earliest. The products seem to be inspired by fairy tales or other legends. Activities were documented in Europe, mostly in German-speaking countries. Increasingly, reports are coming from other branch offices that the group is also occasionally active outside the aforementioned area. The SCP Foundation has attempted to get members or at least information by raiding the only known shop, which turned out to be impossible every time, because the shop was no longer traceable. It also proved impossible to get to members of the group via workshops, as there were no clues as to where these workshops were located. This is assumed to be caused by a pretermemetic effect2, which would explain why only customers and selected individuals have access.
Persons of peculiar interest:
PoI-1995-DE	Ms Mirabilis, who is currently believed to be the leader based on circumstantial evidence, first came into contact with the SCP Foundation through the discovery of SCP-124-DE-1 in 1995. Her goals are unclear at the moment. She has made contact to the SCP Foundation directly and indirectly on several occasions by writing or even calling to give her opinion on specific topics. She speaks openly about other groups of interest and is often times not averse to cooperate with them.
Additional individuals:	During several incidents, a further five (5) individuals with anomalous capabilities or nature were identified as employees of the group of interest. There is currently too little information as to whether they could pose a potential threat. However, it appears that the group has knowledge of the structure of several other GoIs. This is assumed to be because some employees have been identified as former members of these groups.
Closing Addenum:
Until further notice, GoI-1995-DE will be downgraded to threat level Carmen-2 and its pursuit is currently no longer top priority. Every contact with people who identify themselves as members of this group is to be logged immediately. If possible, the individuals are to be detained or the detected object secured so that the MTF 20-Rena has sufficient time to intervene. — O4-8

Members of the "Wunderkabinett"

The Shop

The Shop

While Ms Mirabilis may only own one store, this is the list of all documented iterations. The motto of their business is "We make fairy tales and legends come true."

Magic Supplies

Most frequent and most popular version.

Witch's Kitchen

This version sells anomalous foods, mostly sweets.

The Antique Music Box

Customers can buy mechanical and toy-based objects in this iteration.

The Box of Suprise

Seems to have a bit of everything. Apparently only shows up in front of uncertain customers.

Workshops

Production sites are often mentioned on product labels. What follows are all the names mentioned:

Magic & Mystik Co.

Magic & Mystik Co. is the most common name.

Tapferes Schneiderlein GmbH³

This workshop seems to specialize in anomalous clothing.

Vern Mechanics

A name that only surfaced recently. More modern and technical products are made there.

Notes for Authors

Note from the author

Despite the amount of information, my GoI is open to new ideas.
It is up to you whether all members are in your headcanon. You can replace some characters with your own, but there is a reason why I give you these six.
The same applies to the timeline of all events I know of, but I'll take care of compliance when I correct it. I'm also moderate in presentation, so I'd love to see a sly and calculating or a "rocker bride" version of Mirabilis, but that's no excuse for sloppiness. What doesn't convince me won't get through.
Otherwise I am very curious what you will do with my group.

ATTENTION:

This Section is only for authors who want to write an article or story on Ms Mirabilis and the Wunderkabinett. Some Section contain spoilers.

• General 

• The Wunderkabinett wants to help people by producing and selling "products", i.e. anomalies.
• The SCP Foundation is not considered an enemy, even if they have contained some of their products. We could say that the Cabinet sees the SCP Foundation as a storage or clean-up squad.
• Relationships with other groups may vary, howeve…
  • …to groups that buy products from them, the cabinet has a friendly or at least good relationship.
  • …groups that damage anomalies and life forms are avoided.
  • …groups that have no special resources or information and are neutral to the Cabinet are largely left alone.
• If the product is misused, further interactions with the person or group are avoided.
• The members are loosely based on fairy tales, legends and sagas, the same applies to the products. There are no restrictions on how much one deviates from the original.
  • Even if the group has its origin in Europe, other cultures may also be integrated.
• Many Cabinet members have a special past with other GoIs. This gives the cabinet a basic knowledge of other Groups of Interest.
  • At the moment all the characters are poached/ defected from other groups, but I have no problem if they are not from other groups.
• The Wunderkabinett is not too interested in technological anomalies, but incorporates mechanical anomalies into the few products that have a clockwork mechanism or similar.
• Because they don't make 'war machines', they don't get in the way of R.T.I. and cover another market.
  • Vern Mechanics is an attempt to offer an alternative to R.T.I. with more peaceful mechanics, but this one is still very young.
• There is no real hierarchy except that Ms Mirabilis has a leadership role. The Cabinet is built and functions on the principle of cooperation and therefore there is little internal tension.
• The members address each other with their aliases or nicknames, mostly the real names are not even known.
• The SCP Foundation has no "inner" sources of information within the Cabinet. It does not need them either, because the members are very cooperative, even if only a few could be contained.
• The shop is only accessible if you have no hostile intentions.
  • All kinds of threats to the building itself are also considered hostile.
    • The Wunderkabinett is protected by the "house rules". The rules work like a protection spell against vandalism and all kinds of threats.
• The group is always very adventurous, which means that they are not limited to Europe.

• Objects and products

Information about the objects that leave the shops as goods and what you have to pay attention when writing:

• These products have, if at all, only unwanted or later added negative side effects.
• It is also possible for a product to be modified or for a faulty prototype to come onto the market, as with SCP-122-DE.
  • In these cases, Ms Mirabilis or someone else from the Cabinet tries to get the failures back into her possession.
  • She doesn't have a way to locate them yet, but often such anomalies are very noticeable.
  • I would like this not to be the case so often when the cabinet plays the main role.
• If a customer does not use the products correctly despite a warning, that is the problem of the customer, who usually suffers from it.
• The cabinet, no matter what history the members had, does not want to harm people in a targeted way.
• The products have a label (written by hand or with a typewriter).
  • The label has the following information: "[name of person], [workshop/company]"⁴, alternatively "[name of workshop], [company]"Dmay also be used⁵
  • When Ms Mirabilis makes something, she "weaves" magic into it through her handling. That's why products are seldom anomalized after their completion.
  • Therefore the improper destruction of the products is sometimes quite dangerous.
• Even though Ms Mirabilis makes a lot of objects, don't let her stop you from using other members.
• Living "products" are not excluded.
• Naming the products: Be original!
• The SCPs are listed in chronological order when they were created.

• Characters

At the moment not all of them have been featured in articles. Accordingly, they are not yet official. You can still use them. Information about the people behind the Wunderkabinett and how to present them:

Ms Mirabilis

• Even though she is considered the first among equals, she is much appreciated by the others and has a role that comes closest to that of a leader.
• The Division does not know that she has taken precautions in case she is amnestesized.
• For the time at the Division XXV she had the alias "Magistra Wunder". For more information see Division XXV Hub.
• This woman has a motherly personality despite her young appearance.
• She sometimes has an egocentric side.
• She has can use "magic."
• She is a short-haired brunette in my head canon. Otherwise you can decide for yourself.
• The SCP Foundation doesn't have a chance to contain her, because she always has an ace up her sleeve. But that doesn't stop them from trying again and again.
• Ms Mirabilis very often uses purple ink for her letters (I used c400d6).

The Marionetteer

• He's the closest advisor to Ms Mirabilis.
• He is a 1.8 m tall, lifelike doll/marionette.
• He behaves like a normal, somewhat shy person.
• He has hair that even grows back.
• He tries to disguise his nature with clothes and a mask.
  • He prefers to wear suits.
    • Ms Mirabilis has made him one that makes him less conspicuous.
• Its exact structure and function is not even known to me, except that he lives somehow.
• He was originally a branch of the Caecus Carneliana collective.
  • He officially defected for unknown reasons.
    • He was not happy that Kether was taking advantage of him and did not want to ally himself with Thamiel.
  • His branch name is Malkuth.
  • He was one of the few people in the collective who could feel emotions and he always felt out of place about it.
• He was a prisoner of Division XXV when Magistra Wunder was hired there. He later fled with Magistra Wunder.
• Ms Mirabilis and Malkuth had a few starting difficulties, but quickly made friends as both were outsiders.
• He returned to the C.C. collective after the escape, where he stayed between July 2000 and 2005.
• The collective has mixed feelings about him, but since he has not really been unfaithful to their goals, they had mercy.
• He can bring replicas of creatures such as statues, porcelain figurines, clay figures, etc. to life. The duration and kind depend on the number, the material and the distance.
• He has a slight French accent and occasionally uses French words.
  • But he recently lost it when he came in an confrontation and had to replace some parts of his body.
• He addresses Ms Mriabilis with Mademoiselle only.
• Mirabilis almost always calls him "Markus", which the other members have picked up on.
• He is loyal to Ms Mriabilis, among other things because she helped him escape and she sees him as a "living being". He also knows Ms Mriabili's family from the past.

Candis

• She's 2 meters tall and a little chubby.
• Despite her size she is very friendly and a little naïve.
• She likes sweet and bitter food.
• Her trademark is colourful make-up and the smell of cinnamon.

• She often does the heavy work because of her physical strength.
• She was poached by an American GoI.
  • She did not become a member quite voluntarily, but is now very happy.
  • The story is a dark chapter in Ms Mirabilis' story.
  • Ask me if you want to write something about it.
• Candis' second anomalous ability is immunity to all the natural and supernatural effects that come from oral ingestion.
  • This includes toxins.
  • Exceptions are only foods produced by Candis or Mirabilis.
• Candis jokingly calls the anomalous cakes, cupcakes and tinctures "power-ups" because of their various effects.
• Often calls Ms Mirabilis "Madam".
• Often called "Candy".

Amber

• Is very young and has only officially worked for Ms Mirabilis since 2016
• Responsible for Vern Mechanics.
• She is the group's computer specialist.
• Amber very often uses an androgynous avatar when talking to customers.
• Amber has a body, but it can alternate due to augmentation.
• Quiet, correct, slightly cold.
• She looks up to her boss Ms Mirabilis.
• Believes it's an honor to have her products contained just like her boss's.
• Her username is "Einsiedlerkrebs"⁶, which is a nickname alluding to the fact that she barely appears in person.

Nils

• Despite his childlike appearance, Nils is almost 40.
• Nils was more or less picked up by the Cabinet during one of their travels.
• Herman Fuller chased him away after an accident, which Nils never forgives them for.
• Nils' name alludes to his ability to change his size.
• He enjoys having long arms, which makes him look like an orangutan.
• He has a strong fondness for sweet and exotic spirits.
  • As a freak he doesn't get drunk in the true sense, but his variation is almost worse, because he can't control his anomalous abilities anymore.
  • Ms Mirabilis tried to reduce Nils' alcohol consumption, which ended with him exhaling the alcohol in the form of soap bubbles.
• He gives potential customers a colour stamp at parties and events, which then leads them to the store. Medieval festivals and gothic/metal/esoteric scenes are a grateful clientele.
  • His experience with the circus helps him not to attract too much attention.
• With the help of the Wunderkabinett, he has made an (anti)memetic uniform out of his old circus costume.

Annemarie

• This Hermes-Trabant helped Magister Wunder, later Ms Mirabilis, escape from the officers of Division XXV.
• She has no particular color.
  • Annemarie was originally dark/black, but since Ms Mirabilis found that inappropriate, she tried to change the color of the Trabant. Due to an anomalous reaction, Annemarie discolours depending on the situation.
• She is cheerful and very affectionate.
• She "observed" Ms Mirabilis for a while before coming back to Ms Mirabilis.
• The escapes are always very "spectacular".

• Other Members

• In case someone wants to write an article about a new character, please inform me, so that I have the overview.
• A member should at best be based on one or more fairy tales, fables, legends or other stories. Which and how strong is left to you.
  • • The name doesn't have to be one to one, e.g. "The Marionetteer".
    • What I see as fairy tale or saga is far-fetched.
  • The cabinet takes in almost every "freak", "nerd" and "funny bird". I'm curious which GOI you use as a background.
  • Animal life forms or objects are not excluded, e.g. Annemarie.
  • If possible, use existing figures.
• Members may be contained. Most of the time the others try to get them out again, of course not without putting half Site-DE20 in turmoil.
• Most members don't take the Foundation's effort to contain their products seriously or misunderstand them.
• New characters, like members, I add to the list when I feel they are promising and have potential.

• The Shop

The shop is the core of this group.

• In addition to selling, the shop also serves as a meeting place and place to live.
• Ms Mirabilis found this "place" by chance.
• The shop has, as indicated, no fixed place.
  • What kind of space anomaly it is is not clear.
  • The room layout of the shop is variable, but has at least two rooms
  • There is of course more, like a garage for Annemarie etc.
  • The shop is not directly a form of life, but has something like a consciousness.
  • People who are not part of the cabinet are subject to the "house rules".
    • House rules are magic formulas set up by Ms Mirabilis.
      • The first and most important is "We are peaceful, so are you."
    • I will add more if necessary.
• When the shop manifests in a new place, it pushes itself in between.
  • When it disappears, it becomes "flattened" again.
  • Inside, the windows slowly darken from both sides through a "stone curtain" and at the new place, it goes the other way round.
• If they have changed the inventory for selling other products, nothing happens to the people inside. They take it as if the lighting conditions were changing.
• The shop appears in places that have already been visited by the Wunderkabinett.
  • With a very small number of cases in new and unknown places.
  • The store has less trouble targeting Nexi.
• It is not easy to go directly to a place, but the shop appears within a radius of 800 meters around the place.
• Cabinet members can't call it directly, but they can find it in their area if necessary.
• Customers also "find" it when they look for "help".
• Recently, Ms Mirabilis has rented some floors to other minor groups. These are not automatic part of the Wunderkabinett and therefore not affected by the change of location.

• The internet page "zauberbedarf.sjh" was opened recently by Amber.
• Individuals do not come so easily to the site, but it is not completely impossible.
• Groups like the SCP Foundation have no knowledge of the site, which doesn't mean they haven't visited it unknowingly,
• To make a big deal, a person has to sign up.
• The registration has a magical-memetic effect that forces the user to answer some questions honestly.
  • When SCP Foundation staff or other groups come to the site, they perceive the site as that of an esoteric alternative medicine store.
    • An anti-mimetic effect makes them forget everything that doesn't prevent them from visiting the site several times.
• Because of the help of the Mages Academy, students of the MA have advantages in the form of discounts.
• A customer rating system is on the site.
• If you include the website in an article, you can especially let off steam with the comments from the products and usernames.

• Tales

In case someone does make one:

• All figures have their peculiarities.
  • Ms Mirabilis likes to slip into different roles depending on the customer.
  • Mario' would rather stay in the background and observe everything, often with a staring gaze.
  • Candis is constantly eating and if not, she is fascinated by something sweet, like animal babies.
  • Amber's personality is calm, somewhat absent and sleepy.
  • Nobody knows what Nils is doing.
• Depending on the assortment the clientele meets another member of the cabinet.
  • Ms Mirabilis is often the saleswoman, while the others sit or stand somewhere and watch everything.
  • Mario' rarely sells, but I can imagine him in "The Ancient Music Box".
  • Candis's kingdom is certainly the "witch's kitchen".
  • Amber acts online, but now and then you can see her in the shop.
  • Nils also leads customers to the store.
• Outside the store, members use Annemarie.
  • The adventures may be as crazy and wild as you want.
  • You may deviate partly from my defaults, but I will be also more critical then.
• The Cabinet travels a lot, so there is a large number of locations
• The word miracle/wonder and variants are a running gag, but this is not a must.
• In the list, the tales are automatically listed by creation date, so you don't have to do that.
