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?

This happens to you often?

[Kurama just. Raising an eyebrow here.]

[ Siiiighs. ]

More often than I would like...

[ It's a sore subject. But he'll bounce back. ]

I'm Sora. Are you with the Foundation as well?
byanyother_name: (Mostly harmless)

[personal profile] byanyother_name 2019-03-24 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
I am, yes. My name is Kurama. I'd say it's nice to meet you but that seems a little disingenuous under the circumstances.

[personal profile] keydomhearts 2019-03-24 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know... maybe it won't be so bad here?

[ Someone just grabbed them to make friends or get help, right? ]
byanyother_name: (Are you serious?)

[personal profile] byanyother_name 2019-03-25 12:22 am (UTC)(link)
More optimistic than I'm inclined to but perhaps.

[Kurama isn't enough of a jerk to burst Sora's bubble himself.]
keydomhearts: <user name="cupcake_graphics"> (🌟 what is going on there)

[personal profile] keydomhearts 2019-03-26 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
[ THANK YOU KURAMA ]

Well, we have a beach! I don't know why anyone would want to bring us here with force. They could have just sent invites!

[ He would have gone. ]
byanyother_name: (Well...)

[personal profile] byanyother_name 2019-03-26 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
Well, scheduling is always difficult when you're trying to get enough people together at the same time.

[Of course, not being enough of a jerk to burst his bubble doesn't mean he's taking this theory seriously.]
keydomhearts: <User name="skymiracle"> (🌟 doo de doo)

[personal profile] keydomhearts 2019-03-26 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
It can be, but that's why you ask with enough-

[ Oh. ]

Hey.
byanyother_name: (You see me trollin')

[personal profile] byanyother_name 2019-03-26 06:13 am (UTC)(link)
Hmm?

[Surely you aren't accusing this smile of anything, Sora.]
keydomhearts: <user name="cupcake_graphics"> (🌟no more pirate adventures???)

[personal profile] keydomhearts 2019-03-26 07:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He's starting to suspect there's more to that smile. ]

Don't hmm me. You don't believe it.
byanyother_name: (Mostly harmless)

[personal profile] byanyother_name 2019-03-27 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
[That gets a soft laugh.]

I don't, but I'm willing to accept the possibility that I could be incorrect.
