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!

[Takashi listens to the rules carefully, pondering. And then suddenly moves, with almost inhuman (but not quite) quickness, grabbing one of the forks and holding it up to the throat of the closest person. Poor Asuma.]

But if I killed someone right now, in front of everyone, already it'd be proven you didn't do it, right?

[He'd be forfeiting his wish, but he's curious about her answer.]

[curryparty]

[Oh welp this is his life now. Asuma freezes in place.]

[overlordad]

[Softly, under his breath:]

Relax.

[curryparty]

[Thank... you... Takashi??

He still looks pretty alarmed, shoulders stiff as he awaits Lambdadelta's verdict. Even if he's pretty sure Takashi doesn't actually intend to kill him now that he's said that, he still needs to sell the look, right?

Luckily that's even easier to do when there is still a fork at your throat. Funny how that works.]

[beastlybruno]

[Takashi's getting glared at by a mutant dog thing across the table. Don't even think about it.]

[enter_the_darkness]

[ JUST SEEMS AMUSED..... ]

[dawnwardspiral]

[ Honestly, moments like this has made Riku ultimately glad that no one he knows ended up here. Still, he's not exactly pleased with this. ]

...If I were you, I'd let him go.

[overlordad]

Let the woman talk first, then we'll cross that bridge, yeah?

[dawnwardspiral]

[ He falls silent, gaze intent and watchful on the other man, but there's nothing that can be done for the moment. Though, he's prepared to try to act if necessary. ]

[overlordad]

[Takashi seems perfectly confident in his actions: either he's a good actor or he's very willing to stab the kid]

[helmdivide]

[ Munching on food. ]

[strawberryshortcackle]

[She giggles, looking incredibly amused as she munches on a piece of cake.]

Oh, go right ahead and try. Ah, but -

I can say with certainty that you'll never even manage to touch him with that fork.

[overlordad]

...

[Are you calling his bluff, witch? He glares at her... and tries to press hard enough to draw blood on Asuma]

[strawberryshortcackle]

[The fork never even makes it to his skin, somehow slipping out of his fingers.]

[overlordad]

Fucking-

[He's gonna try to pick it back up with little success... and finally sighs, patting Asuma on the head]

Thanks for being a good sport, kid.

[curryparty]

[And now he relaxes fully, letting out a sigh of relief. That last go with the fork was honestly pretty scary, but now they have more information and also he isn't stabbed. This works.]

Yep, I'm fine.

[Please don't worry about him, everyone.]

[strawberryshortcackle]

Soooo~? Got that out of your system?

[ladyscarred]

Don't.

[Why would you target the sweet boy of all people?]

[overlordad]

[He's just the closest, honestly]

What, aren't you curious too?

[ladyscarred]

Not that much.

[Still scowling. But she sighs.]

Threatening someone like that...

[overlordad]

Wanna take his place next time?

[ladyscarred]

I'd prefer that.

[artificialhighness]

[She would be popcorning at all of this, if she ate popcorn, that is.

As it is, she's just watching with some kind of mute curiosity as the shenanigans get wilder and wilder and wilder. At least the witch can keep her players in line, supposedly. Once Takashi's done forking and yeeting people:]

You're someone who learns by doing, I see.

[overlordad]

[He laughs at that]

That's the best way to do it. Hands on.

[artificialhighness]

I don't disagree. But I don't think the other humans like it much.

[She has A Concern. Or maybe A Few Questions.]
