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!

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

[helmdivide]

[ You are his new bff. ]

Looks like someone still knows how to laugh.

[curryparty]

[He's still a mourning widower but you can be second bff.]

Hm? It was funny, though!

[More people need a sense of humor, clearly.]

[helmdivide]

[ Clearly. ]

Thank you. Thank you. I'll be here all week.

[ Or a couple of weeks. ]

Say, have you seen anyone else with a red cape like mine?

[curryparty]

No, I haven't.

[Peers!]

Is that a school uniform?

[helmdivide]

[ Like you're peering into his soul

Or just at his clothes. But he'll over act being embarrassed at the peering. ]

Oh hey, don't look too closely.

[ Jack is a pure flower ]

[curryparty]

[So pure!]

Sorry! I just don't recognize it at all...

[helmdivide]

[ Just ignore whatever porn might be in his inventory. ]

Aw man. Maybe they're in another part of the island.

[ Gotta have faith and trust and optimism, right ]

[curryparty]

Did you see them get letters, too?

[Maybe some people here are connected...?]

[helmdivide]

I haven't actually seen them since waking up. It's pretty strange.

[ They were all there before... ]

[curryparty]

The letters seem to have been our invitations here, so if they didn't get them, maybe they weren't brought to the island.

[helmdivide]

Oh yeah. Maybe I can catch them after this. Say, do you know how long she's planning on keeping us here?

[curryparty]

No idea. To be honest, when I received that letter, I didn't think it would turn out anything like this...

[helmdivide]

I didn't really take it seriously. [ Because serious and him don't go together. ]

Guess we'll find out soon enough if there's any actual weight to this, huh?

[curryparty]

Guess so!

In the meantime, maybe we should introduce ourselves? I'm Asuma.

[helmdivide]

[ Oh right. That. ]

I'm Jack. It's nice to meet ya.

[curryparty]

Nice to meet you, Jack!

[Yay, new friends.]

Think we should explore? It might be better to do it in groups, though.

[helmdivide]

[ The more the merrier. ]

That's a good idea. That way, we can see if what we have to work with.

[curryparty]

[Nodding. He begins to walk!]

Still, this is some powerful magic... [Like, concerningly so. And besides that...]

Ah- actually, do you have the talent for magic, too?
