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?

I did... It's very polite but not especially reassuring.

[Kurama shakes his head slightly, looking at the other teen. Green eyes take him in thoughtfully.]

Are you alright apart from that?
beguiledcard: (ng ♫ thoughtful fidget)

[ He gives a small smirk. ]

As polite as what I'm assuming is a bunch of lies could be, anyway...

[ There's a small nod. ]

I've been better, but I've also been worse.
byanyother_name: (Well...)

[personal profile] byanyother_name 2019-03-25 05:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, I imagine some of it is true. An intelligent liar weaves enough truth into things that blanket disbelief is as dangerous as unconditional acceptance.

[Kurama hums softly at the answer.]

Fair enough, given my own answer would be much the same.
beguiledcard: (ng ♫ smile)

[personal profile] beguiledcard 2019-03-30 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
[ He makes a thoughtful sound. ]

Well, to be fair, I didn't specify how much I thought was a lie.

[ Just that a bunch of lies are involved! Though, after that, there's a small smile. It doesn't quite reach his eyes. ]

I assume you're an agent?

[ Hahaha what is assuming you'd have been noticed or remembered. ]
byanyother_name: (Are you serious?)

[personal profile] byanyother_name 2019-03-30 04:52 am (UTC)(link)
That's true, you didn't.

[An amused half smile curves Kurama's mouth for a moment, though it fades to a slightly bemused look at the last.]

I am. We're based on the same site.

[Kurama notices and remembers a lot of things.]

[ The hint of a blush???

He glances away. ]


So, you noticed me, huh...?

[ HEH ]

I was meaning to go introduce myself.
byanyother_name: (Cutest smile)

[personal profile] byanyother_name 2019-03-30 05:06 am (UTC)(link)
I try to pay attention.

[Speaking of, he notices that faint blush. Kurama tilts his head playfully.]

But you never did. Am I that intimidating?
beguiledcard: (ng ♫ holy shit)

[personal profile] beguiledcard 2019-04-02 06:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[ omg wHY... He doesn't have a high enough Charm OR Guts stat for this!!1

But, he'll. Go for some honesty? ]


Maybe a little?
byanyother_name: (Trying not to laugh)

[personal profile] byanyother_name 2019-04-02 06:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[Kurama stifles a quiet laugh behind his hand.]

I suppose claiming I'm harmless would be a blatant lie.
beguiledcard: (ng ♫ smile)

[personal profile] beguiledcard 2019-04-02 08:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He gives a quiet huff-like sigh and shakes his head. ]

Is that so? [ twisting a strand of bangs, small smile surfacing ] I guess the same can be said of me. Though, not nearly as much so as with some of the people I know.
byanyother_name: (Cutest smile)

[personal profile] byanyother_name 2019-04-04 06:02 am (UTC)(link)
So what makes me so intimidating, if you know these other very not harmless people?

[ He opens his mouth, and then he closes it. ]

. . . You seemed like you had better things to do than talk to the new guy?
