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!

[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. ]

[ladyscarred]

I'm not so sure about that. You seem so at ease. [If there was a situation worth panicking about, it was this. But it's nice...]

[helmdivide]

That's me. Always chill. Like a cucumber.

[ Just screaming on the inside nbd ]

[ladyscarred]

Why is that? If you don't mind me asking.

[Because she could think of a few reasons.]

[helmdivide]

If you look all cool and calm on the outside, then it'll calm yourself and everyone else down, right?

[ Whoops. ]

[ladyscarred]

[It gets him a smile at least. It's not a happy one, but it's something.]

I'm glad you said that. There are a lot worse reasons.

[helmdivide]

[ It's cool. He can pretend it's a happy one if she wants. ]

Sounds like someone has a story.

[ladyscarred]

[Still smiling.

Does it now? What kind?

[helmdivide]

You don't have to tell me. It just sounds like you've met a lot of selfish people.

[ladyscarred]

No, that isn't it... [If anything she was the selfish one, but she's not going to say that. She's just going to look somewhere else.]

[helmdivide]

[ Okay. So not that.

Let's talk about something else. ]

Hey, what kind of witch lives on an island? A sand witch?

[ladyscarred]

[That's not going to work twice. It gets a forced pity laugh though.]

You might not want our host to hear you say these things.

[helmdivide]

I'm sure she won't get hostile about it.

[ Pun may be intentional. ]

She did give us this nice island to play games on.

[ladyscarred]

There's probably more to it than that. Witches can be tricky. I wouldn't be surprised if we were pranked at some point.

[helmdivide]

If they are tricky, then I'm sure they won't mind a joke or two.

[ Or twenty. ]

[ladyscarred]

That's the thing. They like to be the ones causing the mischief. But they don't like to be the target.

[helmdivide]

I don't mind a little mischief now and then. { Says the one whos like to cause some of his own. ] Guess we should go meet this Witchief and find out what we have to do, huh?

[ladyscarred]

[She nods, bowing her head.]

I suppose. She'll have to show herself at some point.
