ROUND 3 INTRO LOG

[foundationmods]

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?

...Such good furniture you are, Watanuki~

[Um...???

She just leans back and smiles, pouring herself a drink to prepare for his snacks.]

[anonnomnomnom]

[just watching noodlegate happen tbh]

... Another friend of yours?

[That's two people calling Yuuko a Fakey McFakerson now! He doesn't seem terribly put off, though -- identity shenanigans is the name of his entire-ass gig, after all.]

[lutea]

My employee. I am a little shocked he ended up here, but this should be a good learning experience for him.

[anonnomnomnom]

Ah. I thought everyone here was from the Foundation? Is he like a Witch's familiar, or something?

[What is furniture?? He didn't know you could use people as furniture because he hasn't been on the Internet enough yet. RIP.]

[foundfate]

[WOW RUDE???

But yeah he. He's gone for a good fifteen minutes and is actually making some damn good snacks, even if they're spite snacks. Taste spite, not!Yuuko.

And when he comes back with a tray full of dango, he's glaring daggers at the witch. Because this is bullshit.]

You can't just use magic on me because I called you out, you damn fake!

[lutea]

Oooh, they look delicious~!

[GUESS WHO'S IGNORING HIM NOW IN FAVOR OF FOOD AND DRANK?]

Mhmmm, so good~~~

[foundfate]

Oi! I'm talking to you! Listen to meeeeee!

[Flail flail look he's finished making snacks so now he's free to move about and stomp over to the witch and demand answers.]

[beguiledcard]

[ don't make kinkshaming jokes, don't make kinkshaming jokes, don't do it.................... ]

I'm kinkshaming.

[ gdi Akira!!!11 ]

[lutea]

Hmmm, you should shame Watanuki-kun and not me~ He did ask to be my employee, after all, and he always makes snacks when I ask!

[foundfate]

You don't have to say it like that! It's a business transaction, not something weird!

...and I didn't make that deal with you anyway! I made it with Ichihara Yuuko! Who you are not!

[goldenmaniac]

...oh, so it's like that.

[sage nod]

[kagamiimagak]

[She's not smiling or maybe she is, because she's holding her hands over her mouth and staring wide-eyed.]

Oh no. There are children present. They must avert their innocent eyes.

{Akira, Akira, she's reaching out to try and cover his eyes. Is she even close enough to make it?]

[beguiledcard]

[ ACK, suddenly covered eyes????? ]

... Thanks. [ dryly ] My innocence is preserved, now.

[fullbodied]

Akira.

[she tugs his ear. sorry you don't know her, but. it's a hard habit to break.]

[beguiledcard]

[ OH NO, he's let out a soft 'ack-!' as his head moves easily with the pull.

Well, if anything, he won't fight her on this??? He's just going to press his lips together.

He'll behave! ]

[oceanicbutterfly]

[...well Karen just turned red.]

[anonnomnomnom]

It's not that bad, is it...?

[





He has no idea what kinkshaming is, do you think the Underworld gets wi-fi.]

[goldenmaniac]

...

Don't be mean, Yuuko-san.

[lutea]

I just wanted some snacks~!

[goldenmaniac]

I can make you some, if you want?

[literalidiotball]

[He stares at the witch.

He stares at Watanuki dragging himself to the kitchen.

He stares at the witch.]

So that means you are Yukiko?

[Note to self, do not piss off the witch.]

[lutea]

[Uh.]

....I introduced myself as Yuuko earlier.

[literalidiotball]

Well, I meant that!

[Japanese names are hard. So thinks the moron.]

How did you even do that?! Is the chef guy cursed or something?

[fullbodied]

... Furniture?

[well, she went from bemused at Watanuki to angry for him on a dime.]

[lutea]

Yes. It's the name given to those who have become a Witch's servant.

[A giggle.]

Of course, I won't be commanding him to kill you or anything. That would break the game, and besides - our contract is technically outside this board.

I just wanted some snacks - and he's adorable when he's mad~
