Round 4 TDM

All of you have been given notice within the last week: new duties, ones that require you to temporarily relocate to a remote site in California. The actual Foundation site is about what you would expect from the Foundation: functional, but not exactly comfortable. For the week or two it takes for all the Agents to be relocated, you are at that site, waiting for further instructions. Nothing too terrible happens during that time, as this site is primarily for the containment of one large SCP, and any other SCPs at the site are Safe. There is plenty of time to enjoy the nearby forest or lake if you like, the local Agents don't seem to mind if you go outside so long as you're back by dinnertime. There are no towns nearby, though. The site is the only bit of civilization for miles.
Once the final Agents arrive the real work can begin. Until then, just relax and get to know the area, and possibly each other.
All of the Agents involved in the 'final cut' are brought into a meeting room, where an Agent that may be familiar to some is waiting. He goes over the basics of SCP-6593 and how it operates. A couple dozen Agents will enter the house and live there for a few weeks, completing challenges and living out life in that strange house. He is quick to explain that not everyone present will be participants in the 'game' itself: those not picked as participants from the people at the meeting will be support staff working in the background, making sure everything runs smoothly and ready on standby should anything go wrong. But given the years that it has been since any fatal accidents have occurred, he doubts that this will be anything other than a rather boring containment procedure.
Everyone will have a couple hours to do a 'meet and greet' before heading out to the site to explore it. Say hi to your co-workers, everyone! You're going to be working in close quarters with them for pretty much the whole summer.
The containment site, a short 20 minutes away by truck, consists of two buildings: a house and a large, enclosed studio. The studio is currently closed off- the Agent in charge will explain that final preparations are still being made there- but the house is open for exploration.
Feel free to check out the layout of the house and inspect anything you wish! Be careful though, as the mental effects of the house itself (as listed on the SCP page) will start to slowly affect characters as soon as they set foot inside the house itself.
As part of the final testing to see who will be the participants, on-site Agents have set up a trial game. For this game, characters are paired off and each given a small buzzer that attaches to their arm. One half is given a card with a 'password' on it, as well as five-ish related words that cannot be said. The Agent with the card needs to get the other Agent to say the 'password', but cannot say the word itself, nor any of the other listed words. If the Agent with the card says any of those words, their partner will receive a mild electric shock. If their partner guesses incorrectly, then the Agent with the card will receive an electric shock. Once the correct word is said by the partner, the roles will reverse and they will go again. When both sides have done both roles, the game ends.
The shocks are automatically set to be annoying, but not high enough voltage to injure someone. That said, this IS an SCP, and sometimes accidents can happen...
You're only exploring the site, and yet someone has already made a mess of things. Maybe someone destroyed the kitchen trying to make a milkshake. Or maybe they dropped some sensitive equipment into the pool. Or hell, maybe they took all the booze out of the rec room. Whatever the case, someone has committed a heinous crime, and you're tasked with finding out who did it. Someone's going to get reprimanded for the slip-up, and you really don't want it to be you. Not when the lead Agent is known for being a hardass on people.
Track down the booze-thief/kitchen-destroyer/criminal mastermind and make sure they take responsibility for what they have done.
There is a strange machine in the house. It looks like a vending machine, maybe? But when you put in a dollar, Weird Shit comes out. Sometimes it's booze, sometimes it's a shirt or sandals, sometimes it's pool floaties. Hell, sometimes you even get weapons! And there's these weird fortune cookies in there too.
What does your character get? And are they sharing their strange loot with any acquaintances?

Threads from this TDM can be counted as canon for the game if you choose. ICly, these threads (except for prompt 0) will all take place on June 7th, 2019.

This is almost nostalgic...
[And she smiles at the thought... until the whine of a mosquito is heard. With a frown, she looks around, eyes fixing on the tiny creature and her mouth moving briefly before it explodes into equally tiny gore, possibly right before it has a chance to bite your character.]
Okay, maybe not the insects.

[Feel free to check her AU history out, too!]

[There's a young man who's already made himself at home on the couch in the house, tapping away rapidly on a computer screen. It doesn't match any coding language people would know; actually, it almost seems like a random string of numbers. Perhaps to be on theme, he even appears to have written similar numbers all over his body, and they can be seen on his arms and hands and even his neck and face. He doesn't really offer himself up for any introductions, though if he's approached, he will look up with a faint smile.]
Yes? Can I help you?
[People who know Yoshi may note that he definitely has a pair of bitphones, almost like
digital rabbit earspuzzle pieces.][Mikado can see all information about whoever he looks at, including physical and mental (such as thoughts). Please let me know if it's okay for him to comment on your character's thoughts and feelings as they talk to him; if you don't give the okay I will assume no.]

[ He can be seen spending a considerable amount of time in the kitchen. And, while he can be seen peering longingly at some actual cooking ingredients or cookware, Goro always winds up going for some of that 'grab and go' stuff - instant ramen and sandwiches seem to be the most common, these days.
Alternately, catch him either hanging out in the 2nd floor common room (usually reading) or outside, checking out the pool. ]
3- May the Odds be Never in Your Favor
[ After the last wave of electricity (which was WAY stronger than something meant to be simply uncomfortable), Goro's giving his dear partner a smile - one that possibly reads: "I will shank you when you're not looking" in spite of the oh-so-sweet nature of it. There's a slight twitch to the smile before he speaks.
Look, they've been at this way too goddam long and he's suspecting that the partner he was given isn't even bothering, at this point, so-- ]
Perhaps you could actually use your head, next time? [ whoops, he's reaching his limit, let's try again ] I understand, of course, if it's too much... Not everyone is cut out for this kind of thing.
[ SMILESMILE ]
4- Who's the Asshole?
[ He's giving the most unimpressed look for a moment. After releasing a quiet sigh, he shakes his head. ]
I haven't done actual detective work in years. [ har har ] But, I suppose it could be kind of fun to solve a simple mystery on property destruction.
[ Looking to the one he was paired up with. ]
Are you sure you're up for the task, however? With such obvious clues lined up [ that he's seen, so far, that is ] it might get a little boring.
4
[ Inaba sighs a little overdramatically, arms folded over her chest as she looks him over. ]
Besides, something easy is better than something insanely difficult.

[As people are wandering about Ryuji approaches everyone, checking how they are doing, making sure everyone is prepared for the mission- that they've read the info on the House, for example]
How are you holding up? Need anything?
1 - Exploring
[Ryuji is out and about the parameter, testing all the recording equipment. In fact, you might find him on a ladder adjusting one of the outside cameras (the one pointed at the hot-tub in fact) ]
Hand me that.
[There's a toolbox there but... which tool does he mean???]
5 - Gatcha
[Well... that sure is a thing. Looks like the gatcha really wants Ryuji to show off his guns, because he currently has like, five summer tank tops in fun colors. And dad-flipflops.]
... will these even fit me?
1
But he's been watching Ryuji doing work around the house with a curious eye. When he asks for... "that", Silver tilts his head at the box]

[Giriko is in one of the later groups of agents to arrive (thankfully), but that normally wouldn't stop her from making damn sure everyone knows she's here. This mission has her kinda on edge though. It's big, there's a hell of a lot of moving pieces, and a lot of prep.
So before the meeting starts, Giriko's out in the woods, poking around and looking for weird bullshit.]
1
[Oh this is some bullshit. The friendly little meet and greet isn't Giriko's style at all, especially after a meeting as noncommittal and "everything's gonna be fine" as that.
But she'll make the best of it. Time to start "making friends".]
Four. [She says, deliberate, as she makes eye contact with a stranger.]
2
The hell kind of reality tv show house doesn't have a gym? [You wanted somebody yelling, right?
Well, you've got somebody yelling. There's a college-age girl with a spiky ponytail and a can of beer stomping around the house, slamming open doors and poking her head into every room she can access.]
3
[Sucks to be Giriko's partner. She's guessing first, and guessing incorrectly. But it's a deliberate set of incorrect guesses, shots fired just to the side of the actual word as she bares way too many way too pointy teeth in a grin as her partner flinches from the shocks.]
4
What're you lookin' at me for? [Giriko says.
It's probably because somebody put dish soap in the dishwasher and absolutely ruined the kitchen with suds, and last night Giriko was yelling about how she doesn't know how dishwashers work so she wasn't gonna put her dishes in there and start it fuck you. ]

[ There's a bit of a rather annoyed groan after reading some of the information about the site and she can't help but frown aloud, enough for anyone to hear her: ]
I swear to fucking god if I was picked because of my 'open relationship' status, I'm gonna die. I'm super dead. I hate it.
I'm missing the latest episode of the anime I usually watch with Atsushi. . . not to mention that the event just dropped on that mobage. . . I'll have to torrent it after everything.
[ She looks like she's in such exaggerated despair as she throws her hands up in the air. Send help. Or don't. ]
♡ option two.
[ The moment she enters the place she can't help but gulp a little nervously, glancing at the nearest person. ]
So.
Are we going to start making bets on who will be the first couple to smooch or what? I mean the file basically makes people thirsty, right? It's gonna happen.
♡ option three.
This. . . is ironic.
[ The word that she's gotten, anyway. She can't help but furrow her brow and sigh. ]
Okay, first question: are you familiar with musicals?
♡ option five
I guess this is one way to fuel my gacha addiction. . .
[ She says as she puts in a dollar.
And gets a fortune cookie. And another and another and another-
She's drowning in fortune cookies, and it's made even more obvious as she screams, but thankfully she's fine? Just in cookie hell. ]
♡ wildcard.
[ If there's anything else you want to play out, hit me up at
endlesseight! Also Inaba's AU workshop can be found here as well o7 ]

[She's not exactly thrilled about this latest assignment she's been handed. It reeks of D-class grunt work and she is obviously above this kind of idle tomfoolery. Admittedly, she's a little torn -- why was she assigned to this mission with so many other fool looking agents? Should she be concerned about an impending demotion? Or are any of these people worth her time?
No matter the case, Azula has her best game face on with her make up done immaculately and her long dark hair tied back into a bun without a hair out of place when she shows up to breakfast. She sits at a table with a plate of eggs and toast, turning her attention to the poor soul seated next to her.]
Such wonderful breakfast. You should enjoy it while it lasts.
4. CRIME SLEUTHING
[You know who really could care less who stole the cookies from the cookie jar? Azula. You know who got tasked with figuring this shit out? Azula. Where did things go so... so wrong.
As the next person rounds the corner to enter the kitchen, they may find their arm yanked behind their back and a hand full of blue flames held to their face.]
Returning for more are you, you insatiable glutton? Confess to your crimes immediately or I shall see to it that you suffer a far worse punishment.

[Much like all the rest of you, the older man who walks in is, presumably, one of the agents from the same machine. In fact, if some of you play a certain mobile game, you'll recognize him much more readily as James Moriarty.
Or perhaps you've met him before on a mission? Even though he's rather new compared to the rest of you, he has been placed on a lot of missions...and he's carefully looking at everyone there, as if appraising them.]
...Is it normal to keep us waiting for so long? All my previous missions have had rather short and to the point briefings.
2. Why is there an old man on the roof
[Before this begins proper, Moriarty can be seen...
...On top of the damn House's roof???
He seems to be scoping the area out, though he's absolutely visible if anyone looks up while outside.
Yell at this crazy old man? Join him? It's up to you!]
4. The Criminal Mastermind
[Indeed, all the booze has been taken - and You have to find the horrid Criminal responsible. Following clues, you quickly find the heinous fiend -
...Out in the backyard?
With a table set up and chairs spread out?
Actually, he looks quite happy as he hums to himself and checks the available booze, setting up to clearly make a bunch of mixed drinks on demand.
Huh.]
Care for a drink?
4
I mean it's not unexpected from him but. Crime dad why are you setting up your own bar....
Azura sighs ]
Would it qualify as drinking on the job? I'll have to decline.

[There's a kinda short, messy-haired, squinty-eyed guy listening to Reyes and sipping from a bottle of cola. He's dressed casually in long shorts, a navy t-shirt, and sneakers, along with a pair of amber-tinted motorcycle goggles around his neck, and his expression is quiet but not closed off. Anyone who catches his gaze-- such as it is-- will receive a surprisingly friendly and genuine smile. Huh, he seems like a pretty normal and nice guy.]
2. Site Exploration
[Leo spends most of the time wandering through the house, looking closely at every inch of the place with special focus on doorways, appliances, fixtures, and furniture. He seems shockingly thorough for someone barely out of his teens who looks like a typical slacker. Periodically, you might catch those squinting eyes opening wider, and... what in the hell is up with his eyes?? They're glowing blue and they have what look like magical diagrams covering them completely, and circles of those same diagrams project out in front of his gaze like holographic lenses. Is this his SCP power, or...?
After a while, he ends up in the kitchen, poking around for something to eat. His stomach is growling pretty loudly, he must've burned a lot of energy. He does look rather tired, but he'll still smile at anyone approaching him.]

[ Time to play the password game! Unfortunately, He's the one with the password... Mitsuru scratches his head, trying to figure out how to help his partner. He had to go through some training tests involving some annoying shock buzzers before, so he know that he isn't a fan. ]
Um... you can see it in the sky! Is that a good hint?

4. A Criminal Is Loose.
[ Well that's a big mess made out of the kitchen. They should clean it up, but as the kid who's somehow made it over to clean part of the kitchen by the time people need to investigate whodunnit, sitting on the countertop and eating a sandwich. ]
It wasn't me. When I got here it was like this... See? My feet don't match up with whoever stepped in the smoothie.
[ Whoever escaped managed to leave a pointed shoe mark behind. Mitsuru is barefoot, but his sandals are by the door and don't match. ]
I just wanted some bread, so I had to step over the mess. It was kind of difficult... but this is what track team skills are good for. I'll help you in a sec!
[ He finishes his sandwich and hops right over the giant puddle to the investigator. It's kinda like a long jump! ]
5. Gacha Fun...?
[ You know if he had the power to influence the RNG, he'd want a pool floatie, or maybe a T-shirt from the gacha machine. Something fun that he could make use of! He doesn't mind playing it for others to watch though. They share the fun of the surprise. The machine dispenses a drawstring bag, which he opens up and lets the contents of fall out onto the ground. ]
Huh?
[ The sound it makes when hitting the ground indicates the body is definitely plastic... but that's an airsoft pistol, loaded with BBs. He isn't too nervous to pick it up, but he does sigh a little. This is a thing that would cause trouble for just existing, and he isn't in the mood to keep it... particularly the responsibility of keeping it. ]
...Should I tell a C-class Agent?

[Silver doesn’t get to go out much — the general public isn’t ready for anthropomorphic hedgehogs. But since this location is so remote, Silver is definitely going to take advantage of the situation to get some fresh air. He walks toward the doors, carrying a bag with some snacks and bottled water, as well as a towel. He waves to whoever is nearby]
Oh! Hey there! I was gonna go for a walk out in the woods, maybe go for a swim in the lake. Do you wanna come?
1. Meet and Greet
[Silver listens closely to what Gabe has to say before making an excited little squealing noise] I can’t believe we get to be on TV! I mean, it’s just for Foundation personnel, but… I think this is going to be fun! … Ah haah… and hopefully the only “weird” thing about the house is that… it likes to be watched?
2. Site Exploration
[you know what this is fam. Silver is in the backyard and is admiring the plants] Sweeeet! There’s a garden! I’m gonna grow SO many tomatoes! And then I’m gonna bounce on that trampoline and LOOK at my tomatoes! This is like a vacation!! [well. Someone is excited]

sakunosuke oda / bungou stray dogs
[ oda is pretty chill during the first meeting. he can be found off to the side, watching the rest of the group introduce themselves to one another.
if anyone wants to talk to him while he's being a wallflower, though, then that's alright. he'll turn to them and give them a nod. ]
Oda Sakunosuke. Nice to meet you.
2. exploration
[ like a good agent, oda will be exploring the house as soon as they get there. he looks oddly relaxed about it, too, but maybe that's just because this scp is "safe".
at some point, though, he does make his way to the kitchen and can be seen trying to...make some dinner! clearly it's for more than one person, so if you approach him, he'll turn around and offer a plate of what looks like curry rice. ]
It's important to eat during a mission.
[ later into the evening, though, he'll be in the recroom, completely absorbed in a novel. like 'has forgotten about the rest of the world' absorbed. ]
4. let's catch some bad guys
Guess someone got angry at the house. [ oda says this in a matter-of-fact tone, his expression deadpan as he looks at the damage done to the scp. ]
I guess we should find who did it, right?
( here is oda's workshop comment!!! )
