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.))

[It's good she didn't sigh because that would just make him more argumentative. Sorry Aqua. In the meantime:]
That's what I said, isn't it, if his motivation is stupid then we can just beat it out of him or something, an' I'll eat the whole House's fries in front of him. It'll be great. [is he serious about this--] 'Sides I don't care about what the Foundation gets out of this, that's probably some stupid twisted thing too.
[And how.]

[ It's okay, Aqua has accepted already that things will be just Like This. As calmly as she can, at any rate. ]
...Well, under normal circumstances it could be possible to force information out of someone, but we're not in that type of position. Remember the rules where violence against him is forbidden, so we can't do that.
[ It's nice if he's serious about this, but Aqua is just going to kindly nip that in bud. ☆ ]
I believe it's important to care about what the Foundation gets out of this, seeing as that relates to our wellbeing. Not everything is always as simple as it seems.
