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!

no subject
Luna tilts her head a little when Lunafreya shows up, briefly taking in her expression.]
It's been a while since I've been by the sea. But even then, I never did all that much swimming.
[Theoretically, she could give it a shot, but there's a lot more going on here than being trapped on a not-so-deserted island.]
no subject
At the mention of swimming through the sea, Luna's hand moves down and she links her fingers together. ]
My own experiences with swimming are... meager, to say the least. I've never had much occasion to swim, nor a great need to learn how to do it well. [ She pauses and tilts her head toward Luna. ] How long has it been since you've seen the sea?
no subject
Luna (robot) turns back to the ocean and lets the waves push her around a little. It's easy, because she's small and light for a creature made of whatever kind of metal futuristic robots are made out of.
It's a peaceful silence. Eventually:]
... A long time. Many, many years.
[Why does she talk like a grandma. Probably because she is one.]
no subject
I see. [ No pun there. This is a genuine statement. ] Then I hope your memories of it are fond ones.
no subject
It's where I was born.
[And once upon a time, something like where she thought she would meet her end: in an endless rippling expanse of water. There's a lot to be said about water symbolism, but nobody's got the time for that outside of sad robot hell. She's lost in thought for a moment.]
I'm glad to have had the chance to see it again, even if it isn't mine.
