Round 4 intro post

The last checks have been made. The support staff is pulling back to site 4 proper. Everyone not staying on-site at the containment area is saying their goodbyes and their 'see you soon's. It's all supposed to be business as usual, after all. Nothing really bad ever happens during this containment procedure, so everything should be alright. But despite that knowledge, there is a sense of anxiety in the air. Nobody expects anything bad to happen, but after the last year of chaos even a safe SCP like this has become 'I'll breathe more easily when it's over.'

Gabe is there too, giving his final instructions to everyone staying at the house. He looks almost bored with the proceedings, and he keeps looking back to his clipboard to make sure he has covered everything. One last run-through of how the 'game' will work, one last reminder of where to meet the retrieval team once someone has been eliminated from the game, one last warning to stay on-site until you have been eliminated. "We can't contact any of you directly during the game," he says at the end, "But we'll be watching. It should be smooth sailing, barring a bit of personal drama here and there, but all of us back at the main site will be watching carefully. If something goes wrong, we'll extract you guys."

At the very least, those familiar with Gabe will be able to tell he means what he says. So maybe his words can be reassuring?

Once everyone has left and the 24 contestants are left to their own devices, they will find a note in the living room:

Welcome!

Meet me in the studio at 2 pm. Until then, say your hellos and get to know each other.

- The Host


It looks like everyone has some time to get acquainted with each other. Some finger foods (fruit and veggie trays, sandwiches, cans of soda) have been left in the kitchen for people to have for lunch.

((Welcome to SCP Round 4: Friend or Foe? This first part is for mingling. Part 2 will go up at 2 pm EST.

If you haven't done so already, go here and do the mass-adding for private conversation posts.))

[ He huffs in amusement. ]

Of course they don't.

[ But nearly making it a 50/50 split? What kind of look is that? ]

[the kind that happens when karen kicks a murderclown in the head]

Honestly, it's reassuring. If they're willing to send so many higher-level agents here, maybe it really is safe.

Your faith in the treatment of C-classes is admirable. Though we're above you lot, we're certainly far from the top. It is best to stay humble.

[ Humble is a good word to mask frustrations. It's respect for the actual superiors, surely. Yes. ]
oceanicbutterfly: ([k] Hm...)

I suppose it looks a bit different from your perspective. I just know all of us who've been through murder nonsense before were D-class.

[and not for lack of trying]

Murder nonsense? I man a lot of combat mission, but straight-up murder has yet to be part of my career. D-class or C-class.

Several groups of people from 6350 have been shoved into a shared living space for a few months and directed to kill each other. It wasn't a mission in my case, but it was for most of the others.

[ .................... pulling a face. ]

I'd love to say I'm surprised, but somehow.....

How did they justify the missions?
oceanicbutterfly: ([k] Headache argh)

...honestly, I'm not sure. I'm still fairly new, so I wasn't around at the time, and I haven't thought to ask.

That would be interesting to find out from anyone in-the-know then, given our own confusion regarding this assignment.
