* ZombieInfectee: [[spoiler: Lancaster.]] He gets bitten by a Dash Two during the Night Game, and [[spoiler: the puncture formed a completed Dash One on his leg;]] he tells no one about it. As of Episode 27, he's gone fully [[spoiler:Dash Three]].

-->'''Harley:'''(''panicked negotiating)'' Okay, waitwaitwait. What are you doing with that?

* NotHimself: Lancaster, after [[spoiler: a Dash One forms on his leg]]. His normally upbeat personality became neurotic, obsessive, and prone to harsh outbursts, and whatever he's doing in his office, he is ''intensely'' secretive about it, snapping at everyone who innocently asks if he needs help organizing. So far, Raddagher is the only one who seems to have noticed that something is severely off.

* ZombieInfectee: [[spoiler: Lancaster.]] He gets bitten by a Dash Two during the Night Game, and [[spoiler: the puncture formed a completed Dash One on his leg;]] he tells no one about it. It's unclear what exactly will happen to him, but his [[NotHimself behavior is clearly being affected]].

The podcast is available for listening on its [[https://www.findusalivepodcast.com/ webpage]], along with transcripts and the crew's audio adaptation of the Wiki/SCPFoundation tale ''Duke Till Dawn''. Understanding the plot requires no preexisting knowledge of the SCP Foundation or any of its characters beyond an idea of the basic premise, making it easily accessible to series newcomers.

* ParentalAbandonment: Heavily implied to be the case with Lancaster, who talks about having to work and couchsurf his way through college without support from his family. He cuts himself short before admitting it explicitly, suggesting it's a sore subject for him.

* CastFullOfGay: Every member of the main five is LGBT in some manner according to WordOfGod; Klein and Love are lesbians, Lancaster is gay, and Harley and Raddagher are bisexual.

* FiveTemperamentEnsemble: With the laid-back Harley as the Phlegmatic, the sociable, upbeat Lancaster as the Sanguine, the HotBlooded Love as the Choleric, the withdrawn, paranoid Raddagher as the Melancholic, and the outwardly-confident, inwardly-conflicted Klein.

* FourTemperamentEnsemble: With the laid-back Harley as the Phlegmatic, the sociable, upbeat Lancaster as the Sanguine, the HotBlooded Love as the Choleric, and the withdrawn, paranoid Raddagher as the Melancholic. Klein fits somewhere in the middle, possessing an InferioritySuperiorityComplex while being outwardly optimistic and rowdy but inwardly self-doubting. The characters are written with enough depth that none of them fit neatly into a box, though; for example, Harley has a number of alarmingly depressive traits and Lancaster is prone to neurotic obsessiveness.

-->'''Lancaster:''' Didn’t, um- didn’t really have the support of- ...I was kinda on my own, in a lot of ways.

* SarcasmMode: Lancaster lapses into this during his interview with D-8379834, with the script itself denoting it as "''(tonal shift)''". Unsurprisingly, this is a [[DidntThinkThisThrough very bad thing]] to do when you're a psychologist interviewing an unstable murder convict, and it immediately backfires as D-8379834 grabs him by the collar and tries to ''strangle'' him.

--> ''"You're right, a crazy person would never hide dead bodies in a crawlspace."''

* DerailedTrainOfThought: SCP-6320 ''weaponizes'' this, with a memetic effect that prevents the cast from telling anyone about the memetic effect. Harley rambles about mandarin grammatical structure, Klein starts trying to explain [[ShoutOut Rohan Kishibe's Stand]], and Raddagher gives up trying to explain with a blunt "This isn't working".

-->How did we as a species get so good at turning everything mundane? I mean- look at me. I’m sitting here longing for the days of my previous status quo. You know, the status quo where I worked for a secret shadow-government organization that contains and studies things that literally break every law known to science. That was my normal. For years. It’s amazing, the things you can... get used to.

* EpisodeZeroTheBeginning: The first episode Please Respond (distinct from the pilot) is Episode 0.

* HatesBeingTouched: Raddagher. She harshly rebukes Love for attempting to touch her during their first meeting, and no one has dared since.

* MoralityPet: Dumptruck, Love's pet potato monster. Both Klein and Lancaster observe that she's much calmer and starts fewer fights after creating him.

* NoIndoorVoice: Love, who can regularly be heard shouting so loudly that it's audible through walkie-talkies held at arm's length from the listener. It's especially noticeable when she's in scenes with Raddagher, TheQuietOne of the cast.

* UnknownRival: Harley, to the Botany department. He harbors a barely-concealed ''seething'' hatred towards them just because he can't keep plants alive, and they seem to behave perfectly pleasantly towards him in return (minus a few wisecracks).
* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: Invoked by Lancaster while attempting to voice his Outer Kingdoms character, which sends the entire room into hysterical laughter at the bizarre high-pitched voice he takes on.

* AutismInMedia: Raddagher, who HatesBeingTouched, is largely nonverbal and especially so after sensory overload (or, as Love says, "[[{{Malaproper}} sensory overhaul]]"), and has a special interest in sailboats, is canonically autistic.
* BoxedCrook: D-8379834, as is standard for Foundation D-Class personnel.

* TheAlcoholic: Harley. He drinks heavily throughout the majority of Episode 0, risks his life by stealing a bottle of vodka, drunkenly rants at O5 Command for not coming to their rescue, passes out and has to be carried back to his room, and that's just in the ''first episode''. He denies that he has a problem--"a dependency, maybe", but hides his drinking habits from his psychologist despite Lancaster's protests.
