ROUND 3 INTRO LOG
Welcome to The Island. The Witch extends her greetings to you on this fine day, and is pleased to finally begin the game. Please, take a seat.
Though this game may be more difficult than originally expected, there are high hopes placed upon you. Fight well against what awaits you in order to reach a truly sparkling end.
The difficulty level is challenging, but also depends on you. Think deeply on your moves as you play.
You wake with a start - even if you don't remember falling asleep in the first place - and find yourself standing on the dock of what looks like an island. There's a noise behind you - and if you turn to look, you'll see a plain white boat taking off and leaving you all behind, not stopping for a second if you try to flag them down or scream at them.
It doesn't look like you can swim to shore, either - there's nothing but sea in all directions, and something tells you trying to swim out will end up badly. However, a small dip, if you were so inclined, would be fine. It's not like the weather is bad for it - it feels like it's summer, despite it having been firmly springish at the Foundation.
...Speaking of, what happened? The last thing you remember is being...wherever you were, and then seeing a yellow bird come towards you. Perhaps it was in the corner of your eye, or landed on your shoulder...regardless, all of you saw the bird before you were whisked away to this strange island.
Is it a new SCP? Something like this isn't outside the realm of their abilities, after all.
And there's something else. Your abilities are blocked, beyond those natural to your body. Try as you might, you just can't use any of your more supernatural or superhuman skills - though all of your physical abilities are intact, of course.
There is also a...letter? on your person, as if it was there all along - in your pocket or in your hand. It is...a remarkably plain envelope, and even the letter itself is plain parchment.
It reads:
'To the players in this game,
First and foremost, let me begin with an apology: for many of you, this is not a good time to bring you here, and forcing you to play in this game instead of asking nicely is quite rude of me. For that, you have my apologies.
However, as you will soon find out, this game is quite necessary. I hand-picked all of you because I felt you were the best for this task, strange circumstances notwithstanding, and I am sure you will excel beyond even my expectations. Please give me some consideration and play this game to your best efforts. Success will be greatly rewarded.
I will be watching, and I will intervene if needed. But I think all of you are up to this task. I am in your debt for this.
- The Witch of ██████████'
...hm.
If you decide to head up the path, you'll find Goat....men? waiting for you near the doors to the mansion. Despite their bright red eyes, they merely bow politely and wordlessly bring you into the mansion, showing you your rooms and then stating that they will prepare food for you or anything else you should need whenever you want, in surprisingly deep voices.
As they leave, you can't help but wonder...
Where are you now?

[ Emi smiles. Maybe they haven't really interacted before, but they did arrive at the Foundation around the same time, so she at least recognizes him as someone with a reputation for competence. ]
I guess it's probably too soon for any real theories.
no subject
I agree, we should at least give the island a good look over before trying to figure out where we've been brought to.
no subject
arm of coats ]
Shall we head up that path, then? It has to lead to something.
[ At the very least, this apparently isn't a desert island. ]
no subject
I doubt we're sent to an unoccupied manor... and it looks like there is life.
[Rather strange ones, given goats]
no subject
Good afternoon. [ She's not actually sure if it's before or after noon, but she says it with confidence anyway. ] Could we ask you some questions?
[ ...
... ]
I suppose not, then?
[She'd usually be able to communicate to at least some extent with anyone who had enough intelligence to dress themselves in a suit like this, either directly or through an intermediary, so... this is a little frustrating.
She looks back to Holmes with a slight shrug. She tried. ]
no subject
Might you show us around the grounds... if your employer would allow it?
[One of the goats opens the door for them]
Well, I think we might be expected.
no subject
Thank you.
[ She gives the goat a polite smile. ]
It does look that way.
[ Shifting the coat she's holding in one arm, she steps inside-- oh. ]
Oh, there's something in the pocket.
[ Who the hell was touching her pockets without her knowledge... she was wearing that coat just a few minutes ago???
Takes out letter... ]
no subject
Well then. Let us see what it has to say.
[Carefully, he opens his letter, giving it a quick read - exhaling just slightly at the contents]
no subject
Well, that answers a few questions, but raises a lot more. I'm guessing we both got the same one?
[ Holding it up if we want to compare. ]
