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 bows slightly, polite as always. ]
I don't know if I would consider it lucky, though...
no subject
Then you definitely haven't been with the Foundation long enough.
[This is said very seriously! Max serious! He brightens up again in a moment, though, seemingly the summery island sea salt is overcoming any Foundation salt.]
Do you know what they were planning to do with you, though? Maybe that'll give us some mission clues. Sometimes you really have to dig for 'em.
[Dig, archaeo-boy, dig!]
no subject
[ That's not a joke. ]
And I don't actually know... I'd assume that maybe I'd have to fight?
no subject
[That's not a joke either. They're good at this.]
So you mean they haven't really told you anything yet... That's pretty normal too. [is there anything about the Foundation that isn't a mess (no)] But if you can fight, I think they'd let you fight! It's funny, but I think a lot of the real fighters are just like us.
[You know. Otherworlders or D-Class or whatever. They're a big confusing mass of people.]
no subject
[ It'll give him a reason to change out of his jumpsuit later, at least. ]
But if it's normal, I guess I'll have to accept that. I can learn as I go.
no subject
[Don't make this sound like a friendly thumb war or something......
I'm glad we're both helping each other avoid fashion disaster 24/7. Anyway.]
That's the spirit. You're pretty calm for a newbie. Usually they do a lot more yelling first, or trying to fight people, or running off and getting lost for a while.
[Or forever.]
