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?

[ He makes a sound and then clenches his fist. ]

Is there any way you can play your game with one person? Send everyone else back and just use me?

Don't.

[karen you're just mad you didn't think of it first]
keydomhearts: <user name="cupcake_graphics"> (🌟 wait what how dare you)

[personal profile] keydomhearts 2019-03-24 07:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[ DONT DONT HIM. ]

I have to do something...
rikuchi: (I would never)

[personal profile] rikuchi 2019-03-24 07:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Sora, no!

I won't let you.
keydomhearts: <user name="cupcake_graphics"> (🌟 where are my toes)

[personal profile] keydomhearts 2019-03-24 07:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Busted. ]

I'll be fine, Riku. I can't just let her do this.

[ Sorry for end game flashbacks ]
rikuchi: (I’ll take you into my arms)

[personal profile] rikuchi 2019-03-24 07:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Yeah, those flashbacks sure are happening right now!!

And something else...the want to protect the person who matters. ]


That wasn't a request.

[ Suddenly his tone is firm and hard now. ]

Don't throw away your life when we can figure out something, together.
keydomhearts: <user name="cupcake_graphics"> (🌟 theres my favorite boy)

[personal profile] keydomhearts 2019-03-24 07:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Frowning for a moment before he lifts his head and gives a smile with his eyes closed. It's not throwing away his life if its important, but... ]

Alright. We'll figure this out, together.

[ He can't make any promises though. ]
oceanicbutterfly: ([k] Oh?)

[personal profile] oceanicbutterfly 2019-03-24 07:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Then learn about the situation.
keydomhearts: <user name="cupcake_graphics"> (🌟 where are my toes)

[personal profile] keydomhearts 2019-03-24 07:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He hasn't been in school for over a year, Karen. Learning something is on hold. ]

I- [ With Riku there, he'll close his mouth. ]

Alright. We'll figure this out, together.

The rules as stated so far would seem to require at least four "pieces"; One to commit a murder, one to be a victim, and two more so it's not immediately obvious who the killer is. "Send everyone else back" wouldn't work even if they were willing to.
keydomhearts: <user name="cupcake_graphics"> (🌟 where are my toes)

[personal profile] keydomhearts 2019-03-24 07:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Don't rules at him. ]

I can't just stand here and do nothing. I have to try...

[ He also doesn't want his bff in a murder game. ]

[personal profile] aleph_armed 2019-03-24 07:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Then think. We've got at least two things she's mentioned that we need to figure out to end this. Things aren't going to change until we figure those out. Until then, we bide our time. We play their game until we find a way to turn it on its head.

Then we make them pay.

Ehh, but Sora--

[He looks a little displeased about this, but it's more petulance than anything.

He's also speaking through a mouthful of like chicken or something, so his cheeks are bulging and his words are muffled. Serious Talk Time.]

--you shouldn't just go around hogging all the games to yourself. What if the rest of us want to play, too?
keydomhearts: <User name="skymiracle"> (🌟 doo de doo)

[personal profile] keydomhearts 2019-03-24 07:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Omnomnom... ]

It's not that kind of game, Anon-

[ Looking over at him with his mouth full of food. Pfft. ]
anonnomnomnom: (Can you eat it?)

[personal profile] anonnomnomnom 2019-03-24 07:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[I'm glad they're talking about life and death and self-sacrifice while eating dubious cursed flame foodstuff. This seems on brand. Anon waves what looks like a big ol' turkey leg in protest.]

It's definitely that kind of a game! The kind of mission that the Foundation sees a lot of, right? And I've heard some agents talk. It sounds really interesting!
lutea: (all the sarcasm you can muster)

[personal profile] lutea 2019-03-24 07:39 pm (UTC)(link)
No.

[Nice try, Sora.]
