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?

...

[any response she would make is consumed by her confused eyebrow raise when she actually sees him.]

...
chaoscontrol: (was this part of your plan?)

[he rolls his eyes]

Yes, I know. Not human. Also not relevant. Do you have information regarding this "witch" or are you just going to stand there looking like an idiot?

...Well, you asked so nicely, how can I refuse?

[scoffs]

I know that anything that claims to be a witch is perpetuating some ruse, and nothing more. Make of that what you will.
chaoscontrol: (the bitchest please)

[you were rude first!!]

Hmph. I knew it. Witches aren't real.

[personal profile] very_good_end 2019-03-24 08:12 am (UTC)(link)
Indeed. How does it feel to have the veil lifted from your eyes?

[she laughs, it's a light, feminine giggle]

chaoscontrol: (I will think long and hard)

[personal profile] chaoscontrol 2019-03-24 07:54 pm (UTC)(link)
I didn't have one there in the first place, but regardless. Do you know anything else about our situation?

[personal profile] very_good_end 2019-03-24 08:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Indeed I do. But perhaps we are overlooking the obvious? Let us exchange introductions before proceeding further... or is something such as a name beyond something so... furry?
chaoscontrol: (judgin u)

[personal profile] chaoscontrol 2019-03-24 08:36 pm (UTC)(link)

Is that all? I suppose I could believe it.

[gives a dismissive little shrug]

I am the Great Detective, Furudo Erika is my name. Even with my young allotment of year, I've solved a multitude of mysterious cases, through nothing more than my own resourcefulness and the power of my little grey cells.

Ah, but you were asking something about knowing what is going on? Speculation may perhaps be premature, but this entire setting... it is very close to another case I once found myself wrapped up in. So much so, I am overcome with a feeling close between déjà vu and outright scorn at this supposed 'witch' for recycling a setting. As you can understand, my feelings are rather mixed.
chaoscontrol: (I'm a hero)

[personal profile] chaoscontrol 2019-03-24 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
I have my D-class assignment, as well as my serial code. But none of that is important.

[oh. He sees now. She wanted more information]

But I am also known as the Ultimate Lifeform, a being created for the salvation of the human race. [hmm.] A detective's skills may be very useful. I suspect you're frustrated by a rehash, but that means you have an advantage here.
very_good_end: (Oh.)

[personal profile] very_good_end 2019-03-25 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
It most certainly is not. The machinations of that silly Foundation are irrelevant.

--Ah, but allow me to correct you. I am not a detective. I am the detective. I'm nothing like a simple private investigator or police detective.
chaoscontrol: (harumph.)

[personal profile] chaoscontrol 2019-03-25 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
I see. I suppose we'll find out if that's simple boasting or if there's merit to your words.
chaoscontrol: (the bitchest please)

[personal profile] chaoscontrol 2019-03-26 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
What's that look for? You can't honestly expect people to just take you at your word.
very_good_end: (Checkmate of the Golden Witch)

[personal profile] very_good_end 2019-03-26 11:55 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sorry, you lose the right to adopt an incredulous tone by the very nature of your existence: being a several foot tall talking animal... thing.

Really, I'd try to excuse your appearance and tell you to just "take that mask off and get out of the outfit," but you've strained my common sense beyond belief at any delusion you could actually be explained rationally.

"Ultimate Lifeform," indeed.

[scoffs]
chaoscontrol: (this is my rock)

[personal profile] chaoscontrol 2019-03-26 05:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[Instead of getting angry, he just laughs coldly and shrugs]

And I'm sorry you come from a world where only humans have achieved sapience. It must be very limiting. Your incredulity of my existence is, quite frankly, not my problem. I suggest you look into some of the others that 6350 has brought forth -- if we ever get back to the Foundation. Have a good day, Miss Furudo.
