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?

... Uh, excuse me mate. I think they're trying to get you inside or something.

[What a weirdo. Standing around like that... Perhaps he may never properly understand how humans work.

Assuming this is a human.

Looks human enough to him.]

[ Assumptions aren't very scientific Wheatley! But yeah looks human, albeit one that's dressed slightly avant garde. He catches enough of Wheatley from his peripheral vision to spot that he's not human, which grabs his attention, so turning to face him. Casually staring at Wheatley now, though less intense. ]

I know. But they should say it.

[In his defense, a robot who has a giant eyeball with handles for a head is a lot more conspicuous than whatever this guy is.]

Ooooh, is that your problem? You don't have to worry about that, some things just don't talk that much. See, I knew this one lady from home- brilliant woman, I tell you- And the thing is, she just wouldn't speak at all! She could... Jump, yeah, she was really good at jumping. Are you good at jumping sir?

[The goat he asked merely glares.

Wheatley takes the goat's annoyance for a "no."]
Alright, maybe the goats don't jump that much. But I swear, people who can't talk can still communicate through... Motions.

[ Natsuno continues to stare during all of this, looking between the goat and Wheatley several times. This is something, alright. What kind of lady just jumps? Does he even want to know the answer to this question? ]

You said she was brilliant. So she could write, then. That's clearer than these goats.
literalidiotball: (I meant to do that.)

[personal profile] literalidiotball 2019-03-25 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
Well, maybe she could! I dunno. It's not like we had a bunch of paper and pencils just lying about! And we were kind of running around all over the facility anyway.

[ ............... yeah, he probably doesn't want the long explanation here. ]

Verbal and written permission are different. Isn't that something a robot should know?

[personal profile] literalidiotball 2019-03-25 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
[He will tell you if you let him.]

Why do you need to know this? The door's wide open, mate, just walk in!
sotoshini: (𝓉𝒽𝒾𝓈 𝓈𝓊𝓂𝓂𝑒𝓇)

[personal profile] sotoshini 2019-03-25 02:53 am (UTC)(link)
...like I said, it's different. [ Natsuno's not budging, but he is looking increasingly irritated. ]
