ROUND 3 INTRO LOG

[foundationmods]

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?

[ Waking up in a strange place isn't exactly new, but it's been a while since it's happened. Sitting up and rubbing his head. Kingdom Key is beside him next to his hand. Sitting as he looks around. ]

Huh? Did anyone else see pikachu just before..?

[ Was that even pikachu? It was yellow with red cheeks.

Close enough? Huh. Picking up his key sword and trying to dismiss it... ]

Huh? [ There's something wrong. ] Hey, what gives? It doesn't want to go back?

[ Later on, he's looking at the name on the door that the goats lead him to. ]

So, this is my room?

[ Leaving the door opened as he investigates. ]

Hey, they have my clothes here.

[ And clothes...that aren't his. ]

Whoa! Is that a dress?

[ WHY.

Or if someone has their door opened, he'll poke his head in. ]

Hello?

[excavated]

[ Syaoran definitely has his door open, but that's because he hasn't bothered locking it. So when Sora pokes his head in, he can't help but be a little startled. ] Ah... hello. Sorry, were you looking for another room?

[keydomhearts]

[ Whoops. Rubbing the back of his head and looking a little sheepish. ]

I just wanted to see if it's the same.

[ Also s'up orange. ]

Were you on a mission when you were brought here?

[excavated]

. . . Ah, no. I actually just arrived in this world recently. That is, if this place is in the same world as the place where I got these clothes.

[byanyother_name]

[Well, that's an interesting if impractical looking weapon. Kurama can't really judge, though; he knows someone that fights with yoyos.]

If you're talking about any supernatural element your weapon has, it might be suppressed.

[keydomhearts]

[ It's a good bludgeoning device excuse you. ]

I was trying to put it away.

[ Wait. ]

Fire! [ Aiming the keyblade away from Kurama and... nothing happens. His shoulders slump. ] Lost them again?

[byanyother_name]

This happens to you often?

[Kurama just. Raising an eyebrow here.]

[kiddatheart]

Wait, there are pokemon at the Foundation?! Why didn't anyone tell me that?

[keydomhearts]

How am I supposed to know? I wouldn't be surprised if there were some... [ !!! ] Wouldn't it be cool if we got to work with Detective Pikachu?

Later

[sotoshini]

[ Oh good someone who also took a second to stare at the nameplate. Better yet it's someone Natsuno knows too. Walking over and standing by the doorway as Sora rummages through the trunk. ]

Sora. Looks like a dress, yeah. [ Confirmation is helpful, right? ]

[keydomhearts]

[ S'up. Give him a moment. ]

What gives? Do you think they put the wrong clothes in here?

[ Oh! !!!! ]

Oh hey! You're here.

[ He visibly brightens at that. It's always nice to see a familiar face. ]

[goldenmaniac]

[Takumi pokes his head in at the mention of a dress]

Is it cute?

[keydomhearts]

How am I supposed to know?

[ Pulling it out and just showing it to him. It looks like something that would suit Sora. ]

[kagamiimagak]

[Kagami did have her door open. As she crossed an arm with her chin resting on the other. She was hard to miss, the bright orange suit the Foundation gave her was an eyesore. Which is why there was a few outfits laid out on the bed.]

Oh... There's a peeping-tom. Oi, which one of these do you think will fit me more?

[Haha time to bully.]

[keydomhearts]

A peeping what?

[ Looking around behind him for a moment before he points to himself. Me???

Oh she's asking a thing. ]

Which one makes you happy?

[ Do you think he picks his own clothes out??? ]

[foundfate]

[That. That sure is a giant key. ]

... I'm almost afraid to ask, but just how big are the doors you use that thing on?

[keydomhearts]

Huh? [ Looking at the key. ] I don't actually use it on doors. Er. I don't use it on doors most of the time.

[ Scratching his head. ]

It's a keyblade.

[beguiledcard]

[ After getting to his room, he'd started to let his thoughts wander...

Which means there's the tiniest jolt as someone suddenly speaks up. ]

Huh? [ a few blinks as he looks up ] Oh... hey.

[ Managing a small smile in greeting!!! Though, it definitely doesn't reach his eyes. ]

What's up?

[keydomhearts]

[ Wow don't be dead on the inside. ]

Oh, the door was opened. I wanted to see if it's like my room.

[ And like any good JRPG, if it's opened you can go in, right? ]

In his own room

[cryosurgeon]

[Erhard is putting his white lab coat over his original bodysuit when the spiky-haired boy pokes his head in. He doesn't even react with surprise or annoyance at the intrusion, glancing up with tired red eyes far too intense for his young face.]

... why are there so many teenage agents? It's not right for them to put children in danger.

[keydomhearts]

Hey, it's not like I'm a child.

[ He's like halfway through his teen years. that's grown up enough, right ]

[rikuchi]

[ Oh look, a very familiar face.

Riku is going to turn his head towards Sora as soon as he hears him ask the question. ]

Looks like you're not the only one with the problem.

[ In reference to Keyblades not disappearing, judging by (at this point) Riku is still carrying his out in the open. ]

I didn't see a Pikachu anywhere, though. I only saw a yellow bird bird and it landed on my shoulder before I was suddenly here.

[keydomhearts]

[ He smiles bright at seeing that face. ]

Riku is here.

[ Remember KH3Ds? Yeah. That's the kind of look he's giving. ]

You sure it wasn't a pikachu? It had the cheeks.

[ All he knew was something yellow with red cheeks was there? And then here he is. ]

[chaoscontrol]

[on the docks;] A what? It was a cockatiel.

[keydomhearts]

[ Crush his dreams. ]

Oh. I was really hoping to meet him.

[ Oh well. There's something kind of familiar about his guy? He can't place his finger on it. ]

Are you with the Foundation?
