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?

That has to be related to this place somehow...when it's about the Foundation and everything they have locked away, nothing can be a coincidence.

[She thinks it's odd because if whoever gave the letter knew about Makoto, then they wouldn't have given her something she can't even read -- that's her train of thought, at least. No wonder she even unwittingly contradicts the letter by saying they may have been randomly chosen]
no subject
[ Getting hers out of her pocket... did they get different letters? ]
no subject
[Makoto takes out her letter. It's exactly the same. She lightly brushes her fingertips over the surface, hoping to feel the groves of the letters on its surface, but it's parchment. Its texture gets in the way of that -- and she's not even very good at feeling with her fingers, anyway]
I'm sorry, could you...give me a general summary?
no subject
[ But sure, she doesn't mind. She glances down at it again to make sure she's not misremembering anything. ]
It's from someone calling herself the Witch of something; the word is blacked out. She calls us "players in the game," and-- well, do you want me to just read it word for word so you're not relying on someone else's paraphrasing?
no subject
[Like not giving her a letter she can't read]
I'll get someone to read it later, it's okay. For now I think I get the point.
no subject
[ Folding the letter back up, then... she wouldn't have any problem reading the whole thing if that was what this girl wanted, but she's not about to insist on it. ]
If they're telling the truth about how they chose us, though, I imagine they probably thought there was something special that only you could do.
no subject
[Because canon things, and also the Foundation using her for their purposes.
ALSO, GUESS WHAT MAY HAPPEN TO YOU ON THIS ISLAND, MAKOTO]
no subject
[ well this got heavy fast ]
no subject
[Heavy indeed]
You don't speak from experience, right...?
[She sure hopes not, because that's pretty depressing, and it would be even more depressing if it's because she's been treated wrongly]
