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!

[Oh, phew, okay. That sounds so much more reasonable.]

So for the culprit, they can win by either making everyone go along with your explanation, or pinning the blame on someone else in the group?

Yep! See, if they manage to get away by pointing the finger at someone else, then that's still a win for them! Because then someone else takes the fall. There are plenty of party games out there where you have to convince someone you didn't do something, after all - and even though I'll know who the culprit is, I'll let any theory that has majority approval and 'proves' a human did it go through.

[And, listening to some of her other answers...]

And there's a penalty for us if we go with the easy way out and say you did it. I guess that's one way to encourage people...

Well, it's boring for me if you all go 'you did it' without even trying to think a little, you know? Lazy kids get told to go work, right? It's the same thing.

So then we just get to be on cleanup duty.

[Ahaha... still, with a flick of his fingers, he produces a rose entirely by sleight of hand and offers it to her.]

Well, that's everything I can think of for now. Thank you for explaining everything, Lady Lambdadelta.

No problem! That's what a host does, you know? I mean, I wouldn't call you all here and then not tell you the rules of the game we're playing - that's just not fair!

....Well, maybe I might with someone else, or Bern. But that's only if they've really made me mad....or they're Bern.

[When she says 'Bern', there's a twinkle in her eye and a smile on her lips - one that's not as mischievous as the ones she's been showing everyone else.

She takes the rose, giggling a little.]

...You know, a trick like that might be called 'magic' in another situation.

It's a big problem for me if I use too much real magic, so something like this is usually good enough!

[With some smoke, it has the right amount of flash and pizzazz, and that's about all the untrained eye needs to see.]

But who's Bern?

Mmm, that's not what I meant....but you should probably hang onto what I said. It'll come in handy later, I think.

[Oh no honey you opened the can of worms. Lambda's eyes light up, and she practically spins around.]

Bern is my darling! She's the only one in existence who's ever defeated me! Aaah, I love her so much - and I also love when I see her cute little face twisted in anger when something doesn't go her way~ She's so cute, I just want to shove her into a box and slowly close the walls bit by bit every day~

Ah... is that so?

[He'll make a note of that, then! But then Lambda goes on about Bern and, um. Well.]

I=is that so...?

Mmmm, it is....but I think I'll stay quiet about the rest. A girl has to have her secrets, riiiight?

[She gives him a wide grin - and then a light pat on the back.]

Do your best during the game, okay?

It would be very rude to ask a lady's secrets.

[He gives a soft laugh, but it's pretty clear he actually doesn't have any desire to know said secrets. What. What are you two even doing.]

You can count on me, Lady Lambdadelta!
