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 didn't even sign the note with his name.

[ You can hear the dry sarcasm as she inspects the note with skepticism.

She doesn't feel reassured by Gabe or even feel like eating, which means basically wallflowering in a casual outfit. ]

[ And that's that. They're alone and will be for quite some time. George sighs. He's dressed flamboyantly as always, a turban with blue feathers on his head, sunglasses on, and wearing a very yellow coat with purple fur linings.

He sits down on a couch, crossing his legs. ]


Two minutes in and I'm already quite bored. Why did we need to put anyone in C-class here again?

As long as it's boring, it means nothing's going wrong.

[ oda has zero complaints with this being boring. in fact, he's just idly munching on a sandwich he picked up from the table while glancing around the place. ]
oceanicbutterfly: ([k] Tasty!)

[Karen goes right for the fruit. Whatever ridiculousness is about to happen, she's not dealing with it on an empty stomach.]
georgeous: (I hate you Yamada)

[personal profile] georgeous 2019-06-22 04:25 pm (UTC)(link)
It also means that we could be doing far more useful work elsewhere.

[ There's like... actual missions to run! People to protect! Even paperwork to file! ]

[Atsushi had gravitated towards the spread in the kitchen pretty easily, figuring it would be best to eat up now rather than later. He's got a plate piled high with food, dressed simply in a thin grey hoodie as he makes himself comfortable in the living room on a bean bag.]

At least we have snacks?

[A bright side, maybe.]
allmyfriendsaredead: ([Concern] of this world.)

[Saki is easily found waving people off and making small talk with those leaving, a weak smile on her face. It's not surprising that she was picked to stay, but after worrying about it all this time, it's not helping her unease in the slightest.

...Hopefully she and Ryuji were wrong about this.

She's currently dressed in a simple tunic and jeans, with her hair tied off in a split ponytail; one half draped over her left shoulder and one half behind. By the time everyone's filtered out, she releases a soft sigh, the little smile she was able to offer fading fast.
]

Well, it is "Safe..."

[But she still feels so dubious...]

[ spots him

internal screaming and she even sees her eyes widen for a second before smiling. This is Fine. ]


Yeah. . . At least there's that.

[ Ahaha.

She's trying so hard to act casual though. ]
dereban: ❥ all icons are my own unless otherwise denoted. (Default)

[personal profile] dereban 2019-06-22 04:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Just because it was classified as "Safe" doesn't mean that it's always safe.

[ Is she speaking from experience? Maybe. ]
allmyfriendsaredead: ([Serious] She grabbed my)

[personal profile] allmyfriendsaredead 2019-06-22 04:33 pm (UTC)(link)
We do have a lot of C-class this time, don't we?

[She tries not to sound as concerned as she really is, but. She's concerned.]

I wonder how the candidates were chosen...

[ Hi George, appearing right beside you as Alcor is want to do, on the couch arm. ]

As leadership, perhaps?
scarsnstripes: (well...!)

[personal profile] scarsnstripes 2019-06-22 04:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[Atsushi tilts his head at her slightly, just the barest hint of confusion. What was with that face....? Or were his eyes playing tricks on him?]

The sandwiches are pretty good, actually. So we might as well, right?

[Free food! Also he is not dealing with whatever today throws at them on an empty stomach.]

Um... I don't think we've been introduced...?
georgeous: (Noodle Legs)

[personal profile] georgeous 2019-06-22 04:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He nods. ]

I wonder the same. We're simply overqualified to be playing house.

[ If that is what it is. ]
georgeous: (Superior)

[personal profile] georgeous 2019-06-22 04:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Ugh. You. Good thing the sunglasses obscure eyerolling. ]

This is more leadership than you'd send on an average combat mission. I sincerely doubt that it takes this many of us to successfully catherd a few D-classes.

[Atsushi had noticed the weak smile, for sure. He's spent enough time with Saki by now to pick up on the unease.]

Are you worried?

[He'll offer over his plate to see if she wants some-- there's a smattering of fruit, and little sandwiches.]
oceanicbutterfly: ([k] Bored)

[personal profile] oceanicbutterfly 2019-06-22 04:39 pm (UTC)(link)
I think they just don't trust D-class on our own.

[Grump grump grump.]

[ Now the real question here is this: does she pretend she knows nothing or does she— ]

Makes you wonder who made them, huh. I'm Inaba, by the way. I already know your name, so there's no need for any proper introductions, Nakajima.

[ Let's go with that for now. Knowing more than she should but still keeping her emotions buried down beneath the surface. ]

[personal profile] dereban 2019-06-22 04:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Karen, you're here too?

[ A familiar face!

Which is a bit of relief because while Ellie is here too, she's not all that close. ]
allmyfriendsaredead: ([Concern] Where did you)

[personal profile] allmyfriendsaredead 2019-06-22 04:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[She nods easily enough.]

That's true. It means we can contain it, but there can still be dangers in doing so.

Still, they're typically easier to deal with than the other classifications.

...You seem pretty enthusiastic about that.

[ She doesn't sound particularly bothered, if anything kind of a little amused? That sure is a tall stack of food. It helps ease a little of the tension she feels, at any rate. ]
momsters: (big yawn)

[personal profile] momsters 2019-06-22 04:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[Dressed in what is decidedly fire resistant military combat gear, Azula makes her way over to the table of food, stretching her arms overhead and yawning.]

Rude to keep us waiting.

[Then eyeing those around her.]

Which of you will be the losers that leave with their tail tucked between their legs?

[personal profile] mastersdefender 2019-06-22 04:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[ It sounds to her like Saki might be a touch worried, but Aqua doesn't find anything wrong with that. There's been countless missions where things have gone wrong.

So, she nods. ]


Yes, for now. It'd probably be best to keep ourselves prepared for anything.
dereban: ❥ all icons are my own unless otherwise denoted. (Default)

[personal profile] dereban 2019-06-22 04:42 pm (UTC)(link)
I sure hope that's the case, but I have my doubts. . . And it might not even be the SCP that's the danger here.
allmyfriendsaredead: ([Smile] You know)

[personal profile] allmyfriendsaredead 2019-06-22 04:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[She definitely looks distracted as she looks to him and the plate.]

Oh... Thank you.

[And she will take a little sandwich, actually.]

Just a little. I'm still relatively new for a C-class, and it looks like there are many of us here. I'm not sure how common it is.

Then again, I'm probably being too self-conscious.

[Yeah. Something like that.]
scarsnstripes: (RamQgjl)

[personal profile] scarsnstripes 2019-06-22 04:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Eh...?

[...Oh. Now he's the one feeling a little off kilter, at that. he supposes she might have heard his name secondhand given their job here, but...]

Oh... well... um. It's nice to meet you, Inaba-chan. Though feel free to call me 'Atsushi'.
