Round 4 intro post

[foundationmods]

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.

She has a thing for you. Or a version of you.

[scarsnstripes]

[hatesdeerstalkers]

BECAUSE PEOPLE HAVE TOO MUCH TIME ON THEIR HANDS.

[scarsnstripes]

THEY SHOULDN'T BE MAKING PORN OF ME

[houndumb]

NOBODY WANTS TO KNOW ABOUT YOUR WEIRD CAT HOBBIES.

[scarsnstripes]

IT'S NOT MY HOBBY DOG BREATH, IT'S INABA'S

[darkremnants]

There's porn of you and she has a whole folder of it.

[scarsnstripes]

I didn't want to know about this ever in my life!!!!

[visionem]

Because humans are attracted to all shapes, sizes, and personalities. And they are very creative.

[scarsnstripes]

That doesn't help!!!

[arraignments]

Rule thirty-four.

[scarsnstripes]

That doesn't make it ok!!!

[overconfidant]

Because the internet is for porn.

[dereban]

[scarsnstripes]

What the hell is that

[dereban]

Iiiiiif it exists, there's porn of it?

[darkremnants]

Oh, so you do have a folder.

[ popcorn ]

The profile did say you like Atsushi Nakajima.

[dereban]

Well it's true that I like Atsushi, but that's- It's referring to the one I'm dating, I'm sure!

[darkremnants]

[ are you sure this won't be a neko atsume: tiger collector? ]

So there are more than one here. How does this one measure up so far?

[dereban]

[ fushigi mystery ]

There's also another version of you, too. [ just gonna point that out ] But it's not about 'measuring up'.

[. . .]

They're both separate people and I like them differently. While it's true I've thought of that, it's. There's no way it's gonna happen?
