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 looks extremely confused??]

Is something wrong?

no subject
... May I... ask what that's like? Being someone summoned by another person, for the sake of... fighting, I assume?
no subject
...Of course, when I was alive, I tended to never get my hands dirty directly. It was much easier to use others as my hands, and focus on the tactical side of things.
[After a moment, he gives a soft hum.]
I have no real feelings about it, either way. It is only because of my existence upon the Throne of Heroes that I 'exist' like this, so the summoning is merely something that must be done, a bit like doing house chores yourself.
...Of course, it's better if the Master that summons me is at least able to keep things interesting, and listen to me!
no subject
If... I'm being perfectly honest, it's difficult to imagine anyone competent enough to become a Master, ignoring your advice. [ AKA he knows you're ridiculously smart ] But, that's not to say I don't realize there are all types of people.
[ He also knows some people be stupid. :/ ]
... Not to mention how I'm not exactly overwhelmed with knowledge on how that sort of thing works.
no subject
[He grins, though it's a little fondly.]
Though if you would like to know more, all you need is but to ask. It's not as if I have anything else to do at the moment!
no subject
Then... please do share. Please tell me about the world you're from!

[ She doesn't sigh, but does she have to? It's practically in here voice here. ]
no subject
What do you make of this?
[ Keeping his tone blasé. ]
no subject
Based upon the rules and what's been said, we've clearly drawn the short straw here. But, if we all work together in these teams of ours, we should be able to pull through.
[ ... ]
... Though, I'm thinking there might be something more to the whole 'our superiors thought it'd be more fun to watch us struggle for our lives', even if I don't doubt that's part of it.
no subject
[ as in there might be more than a fool in bandages there. he is running the operation ]
no subject
[ Aqua had thought it was just two things, but she's...well. There's some conclusions she's making that she's not liking. ]
Supposedly he has 'his own reasons', which I assume are not exactly the same as the Foundation's. But, we know how they are, and how far they'd go to achieve what they want.
no subject
[ which might be something to use. he needs to figure him out more.
also vanitas looks like he's having fun \o/ ]
no subject
[ Aqua inferred that by his literal popcorning, but at the same time, she knows it's not an ideal situation so appearances aren't 100% indicative of anything.
Even with Vanitas concerned. ]
