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!

[ QUIET, ANGRY GROWL... since he didn't even do anything, this time!!! ]

Mind your own business!

[ -to the one who just told him to stop. Being told to stop only has him trying to elbow the creature in the gut. ]

[foundationnpcs]

[Yeah, he's just holding Vanitas there until he tires himself out. Sorry.]

[curryparty]

[MARCHING RIGHT UP THEN I GUESS.]

This is pointless. Haven't you already realized we can't fight back against them?

All you're going to do is wear yourself out.

[enter_the_darkness]

[ HE'S GOING TO BE GIVING THE SILENT TREATMENT......... or something. ]

[beastlybruno]

[SIGH. Guess he'll have to speak with the goat.]

Do you need me to take him off of you?

[foundationnpcs]

[The goat shakes his head. It's ok Bruno he's got this.]

[artificialhighness]

Some people just don't know when to quit. You must have seen a lot of these types.

[She's talking to the goat.]

[foundationnpcs]

[The goat would shrug, but he currently has Vanitas in a headlock, so she gets a nod instead.]

[artificialhighness]

[Vanitas can take care of himself(?). She'll just keep conversing with goatfriend.]

I take it we're not your first guests for this.

[foundationnpcs]

[The goat does not seem to give a yes or a no answer.]

[artificialhighness]

[Schroedinger's goat--

She'll wait patiently for things to wind down a little more. They might still be talking around the fight scene, though.]

I do have a request, if you're the ones in charge of the garden here.

[foundationnpcs]

[When things wind down, the goat inclines its head towards her. What did she need?]

[artificialhighness]

If I could have a bouquet of fresh roses from the garden to my room, please. They must always be fresh. Can you do that for me?
