MOCK ROUND INTRO LOG

[foundationmods]

Welcome to Rokkenjima. This island may just be a copy in the middle of reformation, but the Witch extends her greetings all the same. Please, relax.

This game is just a trial run, but please do not think you can sleep through this. The Witch fully intends to put the system through its paces, so please put up a good fight.

The difficulty level depends on you. Think deeply on your moves during this short play time.

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 whatever it was when you laid eyes on the envelope.

...Speaking of, Every last one of you have an envelope in your hands, with a gold letter 'L' on it. It's the same letter you were reading before you 'woke' up here, after all. More than that, those of you who had supernatural or magical abilities will feel...strange, as if your abilities are being forcibly blocked. Try as you might, you just can't use them - though all of your physical abilities are intact, of course.

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...

What did you just get yourself into?


Mock Round Calendar!
The taken page still requires a little coding, but it should be done by sometime today.
Thank you for your patience!

[ What the fuck

Okay, so there's goats, an island, and all of these people. ]

Haha. You goat to be kidding me, guys.

[ Using the envelope to shade his eyes as he turns around to try to see where people are hiding or recording all of this. ]

Any time, guys. Any time.

[ He's panicking on the inside :<

Later, he'll be humming a song, and sometimes will accidentally sing parts of it. It's something to do with his katana taking life? But he seems so cheerful about it as he peeks inside of his room. ]

Oh hey, these are pretty nice.

[enter_the_darkness]

[ It's all fine until there's that awful pun.

Some guy in a black suit and helmet is now staring at Mr. Panic-on-the-inside for a moment, an eerie sort of calm around him... And then he's throwing the balled up envelope right at his stupid face.

Possibly a little too hard for it to be playful. ]

[helmdivide]

Hey now, there's no need to be grumpy.

[ Why so srs. ]

[enter_the_darkness]

[ TCH!!! ]

Now isn't the time for awful jokes.

[overlordad]

Calm down.

[Yeah, this kid might think this is a joke, but anyone used to making people panic knows the slight voice warble that comes with it]

[helmdivide]

[ What is being calm? He does shake his head and give a smile, but it doesn't really seem to reach his eyes. ]

Hey, I'm calm. Nothing like being dropped off at a strange island surrounded by strangers, right? Haha.

[overlordad]

Don't bullshit a bullshiter kid. You read the letter, so you gotta have a wish, yeah?

[dawnwardspiral]

[ ...dude. That pun.

He'll sigh, and shake his head. Maybe he might be amused despite it all - just a little. ]

Trying to lighten up the mood?

[helmdivide]

[ He'll give kind of a smile, too. There's someone normal-ish and closer to his age! ]

If you can smile, then you can keep going, right?

[dawnwardspiral]

[ Thank goodness for small miracles, right?

This guy, though. That sounded like one of the dorkiest things he's ever heard - he'll allow a bit of a smile himself, however. ]

Maybe. Wouldn't want to overdo it, though.

puns

[foundationnpcs]

[The goats are judging you for that pun, Jack.]

[helmdivide]

[ Hey, don't feel baaaaaad ]

[foundationnpcs]

[WOW THERE IS SO MUCH JUDGING GOING ON RIGHT NOW]

[curryparty]

[Well, at least one person's chuckling at that joke.]

[helmdivide]

[ You are his new bff. ]

Looks like someone still knows how to laugh.

[ladyscarred]

[This is serious. She can't change her voice and is in a strange place only a week before-

Nope can't do it. She's going to bring her gloved hands to her face to giggle at that.]

Two in one sentence?

[In a way it's impressive.]

[helmdivide]

Double the pun means double the fun, right?

[ And it got her to laugh, so he'll count that as a win. ]

[artificialhighness]

[She's alerted to his existence by the song, cocking her head at the lyrics but not commenting until he stops to comment on his room. She sidesteps before she runs into him coming around the corner and then peers around him, mildly curious.]

[...]

This is a little more luxurious than I'm used to.

[Not to mention mostly useless to her. What use does a robot have for a shower.]

[helmdivide]

Hey, you really shouldn't peek in someone's room like this.

[ He doesn't really sound like he's being serious. ]

[iblistriggered]

[Well, Silver laughs! Maybe a little too hard]

GOAT to be kidding me! Hahaha!!

[helmdivide]

[ Oh hey, it's...a moogle? Or another kind of eidolon? They are laughing, which is all that really matters. ]

See? Some people around here has humor.

[accitio]

[ Hearing the puns she can't but smile softly, if a bit sadly. ]

It is heartening to see such cheer amid so much uncertainty.

[helmdivide]

That's pretty much my motto. Keeping positive means being able to look at things from a better perspective, right?

[ Meet a younger, less dweeby loooking Prompto. ]

[resealed]

[raenef finds himself laughing at that joke too] That was pretty funny.

[helmdivide]

[ You're welcome. He'll smile at that. ]

Don't worry, I have plenty of more where that comes from.

[ Though he really should figure out people's sense of humor so he can get to the better jokes.

But for now.. ]

I guess we should do introductions. I'm Jack.
