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.))

[Wow, descriptive.]
Would that make it worth it?
no subject
[Also spoilers, guess what he spends most of his Foundation salary on anyways.]
no subject
[This is clearly all his fault.]
Anyway, just because I can't think of it doesn't mean the SCP won't offer it. It's an SCP for a reason, after all.
no subject
[Yes, he's smirking a little. And yes, it is a bit bitter when he continues.]
And there's nothing it could offer me here that would be worth the effort. [Famous last words, but he looks pretty certain of it.]
no subject
[You make it sound like some Herculean task, Sandy.]

[The only reason he hasn't left himself is because all the coffee is still here tbh]
no subject
Actually, she's just going to go and take a seat on the counter, arms still crossed.
Did she tell Nora not much earlier to get off of the table? Yes.
Does that matter when she's being petty? No.]
no subject
...Is there a reason you're still here?
no subject
[Which means sitting on the counter like a petulant child, apparently.]
no subject
...Why? So we have a greater chance at succeeding in this mission?
no subject
Besides that, we're living each other for at least four weeks. It seems like a good chance to learn more about you.

Just going to down whatever's left of the coffee.]
I see. I'm afraid I'll have to politely decline, though. I see no need for me to 'get along' if we're only going to be working together for this mission.
no subject
It's not like this is the only time we'll run into each other from now on.
no subject
Well, I'm off. Do whatever you want with the rest. [There's a gesture at the half-full coffee pot before he walks out of the kitchen.]
no subject
Maybe she can find Goro and give it to him...]
