You remember waking up naked, covered in some kind of clear goop, with men in lab coats looking at you. There's a massive machine to the side of you, with pipes in odd ways you know shouldn't be possible, and yet.... One of the men in the coats steps forward with a syringe, and despite your weak struggling, plunges it into the side of your neck. Everything gets blurry and goes white...
You’re seated with Akira and Makoto at what looks like a cafeteria table, all of you in uniforms bearing The Foundation’s logo, talking about the other Persona users you’ve heard of that work for The Foundation.
You spend your lunch talking about them - Akira mentions the new three that have been put in due to SCP- 6219’s ritual permanently ending, which leads to a discussion about the broadcast itself. You see Akira’s and Makoto’s fire rise, And you understand how they feel - determination swells in your own heart as you think of how others like you, others from that one SCP are treated here, and how that has to change - but your fires visibly dispel as a senior researcher comes close to your group, looking all of you over with a wary eye. You keep your expression neutral, watching closely as he leaves.
Once he’s gone, you lapse back into small talk, talking about work or upcoming missions. But as the lunch comes to a close, Makoto seems to lapse into thought.
'So, Akira," she finally says, her gaze on him. "Why ARE there so many of you here, anyway?"
“It’s really quite simple,” The Medic says as he indicates to one of the bodies left behind on this battlefield, “As we can see here, this mark was the initial contact spot, and the reaction continued from there-” He reaches out and actually touches the thing, and you’re glad that you took the time to max out your ‘courage’ because without that you might have gotten sick right then and there, “-to there. And from there, the result is as you can see. Quite fascinating, isn’t it?”
You want to tell him no, seeing how people got ripped up by an SCP isn’t fascinating at all, but the other ‘assistant’, Ellie, is the first to speak up. “I think I’m going to be sick.”
When The Medic looks to you, you just give him a thumbs-up. Tell him what he wants to hear, so he can get back to his ‘doctor’ things and you can discreetly sneak away with Ellie. You’re going to request a transfer as soon as you get back to base, and you’re going to advise Ellie to do the same thing too. She looks even younger than you, she doesn’t need to see any of this.
You’re not even sure that The Medic is a real doctor.
Once you had all settled in the auditorium, a slim man with immaculately styled bubblegum pink hair and bone-rimmed glasses walks in. He is wearing a lab coat with the Foundation’s logo, as well as another patch. It looks like a rabbit? Sort of? Regardless, the man has a theatrical air to him, and he gesticulates quite a bit as he speaks.
"Greeting, D-class personnel. My name is Dr. Szayelaporro Granz, researcher class C. You have all been selected, either personally by myself and Dr. Kurotsuchi, or by random chance, to accompany me on this field mission. Aren’t you all so lucky?" the man smiles and clasps his hands together, though the smile doesn’t reach his eyes. "I am also from SCP-6350, so let’s all work hard together, hm?" He clicks something in his pocket, turning on a slideshow with what little information they have. He clicks through the bare-bones presentation as he speaks.
"The location we will be researching is a space-time anomaly known as ‘The Resort’. This location is a fancy ski chalet that moves around randomly, and thus far has eluded our attempts to contain it, or even properly research it. Recording equipment and drones have all proven worthless inside this anomaly. The Foundation have dispatched live staff here before, only for them to be lost. While our main goal is to find a way to secure and contain this anomaly, you may also consider a secondary objective to be rescue... or recovery, as the case may be. The Resort currently has an active zone in the Canadian Rockies, and that is where we will be entering. Once we go in, it will be up to all of you to unlock its secrets. So if you have any business to attend to... I suggest you do it soon. This mission may last several months."
He adjusts his glasses, then turns off the slide show. He opens his arms in a flamboyant gesture and an all too wide smile splits his face.
"Further information will be provided to you in a written dossier, my little actors and actresses! But for now, you know as much as I do. Thank you for your attention, and welcome to Mobile Task Force Lambda-5-b, the ‘Fictional White Rabbits’!"
Your senior agent - Archer, his name is, with white hair and brown skin and his red and black outfit - looks impassively at you as you hesitate.
That’s Aigis, there - but she’s moving so weirdly, her eyes glazed over even as she’s covered in blood. Her fingers twitch oddly, and she begins to drag herself towards you, and you…
“Take her out,” Archer says, looking back at you. You protest - there has to be a way to save her. If something’s taken her over, then -
“That’s not how this works,” Archer says, his eyes boring right into you. “If you’re going to protect this world - keep it safe, and take out anything that would end it, then you have to be willing to take down anything in your way - no matter who or what it is.”
You hesitate again, and he shrugs.
“You could let her kill you. But - You’d just end up in the seal, wouldn’t you?”
You look back at Aigis, who - doesn’t seem like she’s there anymore. Her eyes are vacant, and a red light burns in them - so different from what she normally looks like. But even though - you know she’s being controlled, you don’t want to do this.
But...you have to.
Apologizing to her, you raise your evoker and summon Messiah, and Aigis disappears in a loud, roaring flash of light - leaving only scrap metal and your own regrets behind.
On Wednesday morning, your character will receive the following items:
1: A set of foam hair-curlers
2: A potion with a label on it that says the following: "Greetings! This is a Potion of Aura Viewing. When consumed, this potion will allow you to see a band of color above each person's head, which shows their current mood. This potion's effects will last for one hour. However, if you tell anyone the exact effects of this potion, it will turn into tap water and be rendered useless. Be careful, and have fun!"
2. 1 fortune cookie. If your character chooses to open the fortune cookie, this is the fortune they will receive: A nice, sunny vacation is just around the corner.. For 24 hours after they open the cookie, they will randomly get hot flashes that last for approximately 5 minutes.
