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!

Yeah that's true. It's probably better to take one instead of too many.

We could probably go take a look for some tools to help with that.

[curryparty]

Hmmm...

[Looking around!]

I think that's probably a garden shed. Should we check it out?

[resealed]

[ he just nods at that ] Oh— yeah. Let's go and see what we can find there.

[curryparty]

Then off we go!

[And he'll walk on over to the shed! Good thing it's open for them to go inside.]

Whoa, this is pretty well-stocked...

[Look at all those shiny and sharp implements that are all definitely only ever going to be used for gardening. He does drift over to the chainsaw in particular a bit curiously.]

What's this...?

[resealed]

[raenef just follows along and when they do reach the open shed, he just stares looking around curiously before his attention is drawn towards the chainsaw] That's... a chainsaw?

[curryparty]

A chainsaw?

[He examines it, but from a cautious distance.]

Never seen one of those before... what does it do?

[resealed]

Hm— oh, I think maybe it helps with cutting the bigger plants or something.

[curryparty]

It's shaped pretty weird, and it looks heavy...

[>Doubt!!]

But I guess if it works... That technology must be advanced.

[resealed]

[raenef just looks at it again for a moment and just shrugs. it can't possibly used for anything terrible! or at least that is how he sees it] Yeah, it probably is pretty advanced.

I guess the tools we need are probably somewhere else around here.

[curryparty]

If we can just find a pair of clippers, that should be enough.

[He begins wandering the shed in search of that. At least it's pretty well organized?]

I wonder who does the actual gardening here, though... I wouldn't mind helping if they need a hand.

[resealed]

Yeah, okay! Sounds like a plan— [he just nods at that and starts looking around as well in search of the clippers. hearing the question though, he looks in thought for a moment before he answers] Maybe Lady Lambdadelta takes care of it— or someone she knows who does? You could probably ask her about that too.

[curryparty]

Servants, probably. Using magic to take care of a garden would be overdoing it.

[Considering the sacrifice needed, there's no way that could be practical.]

[resealed]

Oh! Yeah, that's a good point and I guess that would make more sense.

[curryparty]

Plus, if you're using magic there's no real reason for all these tools... ah!

[Found some clippers! They're nice and small, too. Yoink!]

These should work?

[resealed]

Yeah, with the right sort of magic, that's true.

Oh— [he turns and nods at that seeing that they've found the tools to use] Yeah. Those seem like they'll work.

[curryparty]

[Carrying them out with him!]

Do you have the talent for magic yourself, sir?

[resealed]

Actually yeah! I'm still learning though.

[curryparty]

Oh? You didn't go to academy?

[resealed]

What academy?

[curryparty]

Any academy, I suppose... There's different ones!

[resealed]

I've never been to any place like that before.

[curryparty]

Really? Usually tuition's cheap because magic users are so useful...

[resealed]

Uh-huh! I guess maybe it's different for Demon Lords.
