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?

Thank you for your patience!

Oh yeah! That makes sense. I feel like adding in powers would up the difficulty level of figuring stuff out.

[he sighs] A whole week, though... [he sighs, but then psyches himself up again] Right! It's a good excuse for me to work on my cardio!

[strawberryshortcackle]

Yep! Magic is convenient, but you do have to work on your body a little. Muscle Atrophy is awful, you know? Even a Witch like me still does basic strength training from time to time.

...Ah, don't tell anyone though. It'd ruin my cute, girly image! *giggle*

[gasp!! he's taking a lick of his lollipop when she says that, and his mouth hangs open a bit] You work out? I won't tell a soul...! I guess I've let myself get really lazy since usually I can just float wherever I need to go... I have no idea where to start, though... should I just jog around the mansion?

[strawberryshortcackle]

I'd recommend starting with power walking, actually. Build up to jogging when you get more stamina, though around the mansion or the rose garden isn't a bad idea.

But as long as you have the will to keep at it, you'll be able to get plenty of stamina! And if you've got any aches and pains, the Goats can give you some ibuprofen or something.

Power walking! That sounds cool! [too bad it doesn't look cool] Ooooh... is there a hot tub here? That's the best thing to relax after working out!

[strawberryshortcackle]

I don't think so, but you do have some pretty big bathtubs! You can definitely take a nice long soak after some exercise.

[iblistriggered]

Perfect!! I'm gonna get right to it...!

.... riiight after I eat some cake.
