MOCK ROUND INTRO LOG
Welcome to
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!

[Especially odd, because that kind of gives the sense that they're like. Pets to someone else? Hm.]
Well, what exactly caused the curse?
no subject
... Sigh.] It's a long story.
no subject
I don't think we're on any real schedule here.
no subject
[He takes a deep breath before recounting his tale.] I'm pretty sure the trouble started when I met that stranger on the way home one day. He offered me a potion that was supposed to grant any wish and chase away sorrow. Now, I was young and didn't know better, so I bought one from him thinking it would help me win someone's heart...
And at first, it did. Made me strong and handsome, I think. Then my father went to the stranger for help with his job, then my brother went to him for knowledge, and before I knew it nearly everyone in town had a taste.
[Bruno frowned and shook his head.] But of course, it was all too good to be true. Some time after that stranger left town, everyone who drank that potion became twisted by those wishes and turned into horrible monsters...
no subject
Sounds like the kind of situation you would get into with a demon.
[Lots of bad news, basically.]
So... if that's the case, your wish here would be...?
no subject
[Bruno frowns at the notion.] To tell you the truth, I don't think I should risk asking someone who practically kidnapped us for a wish. The only reason I'm here was because I went and read that letter all the way through.
Besides, my sister and I managed to finally reverse the curse on the rest of the town with the help of a traveler about a week ago. I'm not sure why the cure didn't work on me, but I'll live with it.
no subject
[So that's definitely not relevant to their current situation or anything.]
Ah... it's good you were able to reverse the curse, at least. What kind of magic did that require?
no subject
[He wasn't exactly there when Sophie brewed it, but...] A potion of some sort had to be poured in the water supply. Getting to that point, though... That was a lot more complicated.
no subject
[He knows some who focus on potion making, even if that still requires sacrifices as well.]
