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?

[ Familiar, huh... Haha, that makes her a little nostalgic for her bar "dates" with Ullr. ]

It could be. Or it could be a monster in its own right.

[ She shrugs and gives him a smile. ]

Well, we at least have a potential starting point to work from now.

Well, if it is a monster, we'll just have to be careful.

[ Not that he wasn't already planning to, but he understands the concept of innocent looking creatures winding up to be not so innocent. ]

Yeah. We just got to work our way up from here.
youkaiwatch: (quick like a bunny. right now.)

Is that how you feel about them? Being a monster doesn't necessarily mean you have bad intentions.

[ She glances down at his orange jumpsuit. ]

You're new though, aren't you?

[personal profile] excavated 2019-03-23 07:10 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't necessarily hate monsters, and perhaps in some worlds they aren't bad. Nevertheless, the fact that it's an unknown, along with the fact that they brought us here... we can't be sure if their intentions are pure or not.

[ That much he can say, at the very least. But at the question of whether or not he's 'new', he nods. ]

Yeah. I am.
youkaiwatch: (well not good care but yeah)

[personal profile] youkaiwatch 2019-03-23 10:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course.

[ Though you could just as well say the same of familiars, or humans, but she won't go there right now. ]

I'm not really in any position to welcome you when I don't know where we are myself, but I look forward to working together.

[ Well, he wouldn't disagree if she did say that, because he knows that it's right. ]

That's fine. And of course. I look forward to working with you as well. [ He bows, slightly polite. ] My name is Syaoran, by the way.

Kino Emi. I've been an agent for a while now, so if you have questions later about things besides our current situation, let me know.

[ she may or may not answer them, but ]

I'd appreciate it a lot. Thank you very much, Kino-san.
