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?

Ah? Why wouldn't a Witch be allies with the Foundation?

[Have an Anon perched not far from her, his head tilted rather like an owl's, covered in way too much seawater and other marine unmentionables. Either way, he's just a very unkempt but very brightly colored and possibly familiar sight.




Anyway he's probably still wearing some seaweed like it's going out of style, which is still somehow more stylish than the orange jumpsuit they're most of them stuck with. RIP.]

You haven't noticed how they've forced us to work with them rather than asked?

[ a little sigh ]

...did you go in the ocean already, Anon-san? [ child. really. ]
anonnomnomnom: (My what a nice sword you have.)

[personal profile] anonnomnomnom 2019-03-24 07:11 am (UTC)(link)
Doesn't that mean it would be more likely for a witch to be allies? They've got some pretty powerful people! Maybe the witch just wanted a better look at their stock.

[No, Anon, that's literally just you. Probably. Maybe? He gives her a cheerful smile that probably hasn't changed since the first time they met, despite everything. :D :DD He's that kind of a problem child.]

Mm, well, the ocean was right there, and the boat was right there, and it's summer, isn't it? What else would I do?
respring: (sweating  ₎ ah yes that's nice)

[personal profile] respring 2019-03-24 07:16 am (UTC)(link)
I'm trying to say that they'd be more likely to want to control her... [ A BIGGER SIGH

She picks a piece of seaweed off of his head and appraises it briefly before tossing it back over the dock. Ew, wakame. ]


You don't feel scared that we've all been kidnapped? I wish I had your attitude.
anonnomnomnom: (Wish I had the talent to study.)

[personal profile] anonnomnomnom 2019-03-24 07:26 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I guess the Foundation can be dangerous, but this witch could be even more dangerous. Their control would depend on that, wouldn't it?

[Why does he sound excited about this. Also, we can't escape seaweed. The endless plague.

... He blinks as though realizing the seaweed is there! Then he picks off a piece himself and like, starts munching on it. I'm sorry. But at least he looks kind of thoughtful about it...?]

You know, I'd say it's usually hard to kidnap me, but it's been happening a lot lately... I think the weirdest part this time is, they've managed something that only gods can do!
respring: (ew gross ₎ blechhhh)

[personal profile] respring 2019-03-24 07:41 am (UTC)(link)
P-Please don't eat that right from the water! If you want some wakame for dinner, I'll cook it later, but don't eat things directly from the ocean, they're very dirty.

[ why does it feel like she's talking to a 7 year old ]

You've been kidnapped before this? Before the foundation found you, I mean.

[ ....... ]

Are your powers gone, too?
anonnomnomnom: (What a moron.)

[personal profile] anonnomnomnom 2019-03-24 07:52 am (UTC)(link)
Haha, I won't deny that your cooking is tasty-- [because it's probably at least known within the Foundation if not just because Anon likes putting weird stuff in his mouth, speaking of which] --but I've definitely eaten weirder things.

[She is pretty much talking to a 7-year-old let's be real here. He looks about as unrepentant as one, too.]

I did say I was hard to kidnap, but all the same... the Foundation was real interested in what I could do, and they never figured out how to stop me. I'm pretty sure this isn't one of theirs!
