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?

[ Hahaha yeah this feeling like a normal human thing sucks tbh

Anyway, it's nice to see him here; the list of people she likes at the Foundation isn't terribly long. She smiles and gives a little wave before shaking her head. ]


Mm, I don't think any of us were even in the same place before this. What's the last thing you remember?

[ was it a bird ]
byanyother_name: (Mostly harmless)

[Kurama returns the smile. If things are going to get ugly, he probably shouldn't be, but he's still glad to see a familiar face.]

I was getting prepared since I was told I'd be assigned a new mission soon, then I saw a yellow bird. I'm not sure how it got inside but if it's connected to this, well, there are too many possibilities.
youkaiwatch: (they just... they do nothing for me)

[personal profile] youkaiwatch 2019-03-23 07:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[ aha ]

I see... I'd thought the same thing, that it was strange seeing one inside. I was in the lab when I saw it, though.
byanyother_name: (How curious!)

[personal profile] byanyother_name 2019-03-24 12:18 am (UTC)(link)
That's certainly a strong enough indication it's a part of all this, then. Even in the labs... That's concerning.

How are you doing?
youkaiwatch: (good cactus)

[personal profile] youkaiwatch 2019-03-24 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
Annoyed that the samples I was sorting are probably going bad as we speak, but otherwise fine. How about you?
byanyother_name: (How is this my life?)

[personal profile] byanyother_name 2019-03-25 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
Growing extremely tired of being abducted.
youkaiwatch: (cool.)

[personal profile] youkaiwatch 2019-03-25 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
That seems fair.
byanyother_name: (Pensive)

[personal profile] byanyother_name 2019-03-26 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
Do you have access to any of your more esoteric abilities?

[That's asked in a quieter tone than the rest of the conversation so far.]
youkaiwatch: (no way in hell you're gonna buy me a dog)

[personal profile] youkaiwatch 2019-03-26 10:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She shakes her head. ]

I haven't tried all of them, but no, it doesn't seem like it. Which makes me think the Foundation may not be behind this... if they had something capable of sealing all superhuman abilities within a given area like this on their side, I doubt they'd need so many expendable agents.
byanyother_name: (Shhh)

[personal profile] byanyother_name 2019-03-27 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
Yes... I'm the same on all counts. Though I wouldn't put it past them to be involved if they thought they could get that capability out of the deal.
