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?

No. [The reply was immediate and forceful] I'd rather be as far away as possible from them. I never had the chance before, and now I do. I'm not letting it go to waste.

[Although she's rather soft-spoken even when being firm, it{s obvious she's being serious about this]

This is a pretty good change of events for you, then. [ The encouragement is casual, but it is there. Ah, but- ]

How do you plan to start? I'm guessing you can tell this is nothing like the base.

I hear the sea, and I heard the boat leave the shore...I should find out what kind of place this is. It could be an island or the coast of a continent.

[If it's the latter, it would make things much easier]

[ Both fair guesses. In that case—without another word Natsuno sets off at a rapid pace, only to return about five minutes later. He'll find Makoto if she's moved since then, she might even be able to tell he's returned because his footsteps are almost eerily pronounced despite being rather quiet. More of a feeling that he's there than anything else. ]

It's an island. What next?

[Having the person you're talking to leave without a word is rude! She thinks Natsuno ditched her, so she continues exploring the outside. Thankfully, during the five minutes she managed to find her cane, having dropped it before. Things should go better now for her, now that she has it back]

It is? How did you find out so quickly? Did the witch tell you?

[You startled her, you jerk! But she's thankful for the information. What next, what next...]

[personal profile] sotoshini 2019-03-25 01:10 am (UTC)(link)
[ It is rude, but this is just how Natsuno is. ]

I haven't found her. I climbed a tree to get a good look, I have pretty good eyes.

[personal profile] earnahappyending 2019-03-25 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
Then I'll trust your word. [IF he saw it with his own two eyes then it must be true!] So this is an island...it will be harder to get a boat.

[That's quite the big obstacle, and she's having a hard time imagining her next step]

We'll need to contact the mainland if we want a boat out of here. We need a phone.
sotoshini: (𝒷𝓊𝓉 𝓉𝒽𝒾𝓈 𝓎𝑒𝒶𝓇)

[personal profile] sotoshini 2019-03-25 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
[ His eyes are better than most. ]

I don't have mine on me. If you think it's worth asking everyone else, go ahead. [ Read: he may have climbed a tree with no problem, but talking to people? Pass. ]

[personal profile] earnahappyending 2019-03-25 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
I don't think anyone would carry a phone with them...they're kind of heavy to have with you. We'd also need a spot to connect them.

[Guess who comes from 1988]

[ Pause. ]

They never gave you cellphone training? [ He's from the 90's, so he feels this. ]

[personal profile] earnahappyending 2019-03-26 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
...I did once hear someone say something called like that? [Very little knowledge about modern amenities even after a few months living in that base] They didn't explain much about that because they didn't think I'd ever need one.

[It was rude of them, it would have been fun to hear all this stuff from the future!]

[ Man is the Foundation stupid. He's not an expert on cellphones by any means, but he's fiddled around with them enough to find the accessibility options. Or maybe there was another level to fodder as far as agents go. ]

Cellphones are portable phones. They're not that big and fit in your pocket, and they don't need a wire either.

Someone probably has theirs here if you ask.

That sounds really convenient! [She sounds so amazed. Truly, the modern world is amazing! The Foundation is very high-tech sometimes, but it's all about containing everything they have. Normal everyday things are kind of a mystery] ...too convenient. Leaving this island can't be as easy as getting one of those and calling outside, the witch must have some way to stop us...

[She sure will try and ask around, though]

[personal profile] sotoshini 2019-03-26 02:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Definitely. 

One of the other agents here might recognize this place, or be familiar with a witch like this one. And there's bound to be someone who comes up with a crazy idea and tries to make it reality too. [ If he sounds disinterested and cold, it's because that's exactly what he is. ]

[personal profile] earnahappyending 2019-03-26 06:16 pm (UTC)(link)
As long as they don't put themselves in danger... [Crazy ideas that are reasonable are okay! Crazy ideas that will lead to them getting hurt are bad] I don't even know how to talk to a witch. They didn't even exist in my world.
sotoshini: (物の哀れ)

[personal profile] sotoshini 2019-03-26 07:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Hn. [ Makoto can be concerned enough for both of them. ]

Do you know how to talk to a vampire? 
earnahappyending: (1)

[personal profile] earnahappyending 2019-03-26 07:32 pm (UTC)(link)
No. I never had the chance to meet one ever before...

[She's pretty sure there are some with the Foundation, so those somehow seem more 'real' than witches]

I doubt I'll encounter one anytime soon.

[What would be the odds of talking to a vampire anytime soon, right?]

[personal profile] sotoshini 2019-03-26 08:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Sometimes the unlikely is more plausible than you think. [ And to that, his words carry an air of amusement. He starts to walk off, but then stops when he's parallel to her. Anything else to say, the silence implies?

For all that he can be rude, he does know his manners. ]

[Indeed, this seems like an indication he wishes to end the conversation. May as well give her parting words]

I know I'm not much, but if you ever need anything you can tell me. I will do anything I can to help.

[She certainly will worry about others much more than you, Natsuno]
sotoshini: jinrou (𝓌𝒽𝒶𝓉 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝒶𝓇𝑒 𝑔𝒾𝓋𝑒𝓃)

[personal profile] sotoshini 2019-03-27 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
I don't need your help. [ One step, two step and then he adds: ] And you shouldn't want mine.

[ Heading off for real now. ]
