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!

[She's just going to hide behind her gloved hands.]

I thought she had a way of resurrecting the dead.

[iblistriggered]

I don't know that even Miss Lambdadelta can do something like that... is there someone you're missing...?

[ladyscarred]

What? ...No. I thought she meant if someone was killed here. If there was a way to something like that, it'd have to be prepared in advance.

[iblistriggered]

Oh! Ah... sorry. I didn't... I guess I got the wrong impression. My bad.

[ladyscarred]

[It gets him a smile and a light laugh, how sweet.]

Don't be... I take it there's someone you thought of then?

...Forgive me, that isn't something I should ask.

[iblistriggered]

Oh, no! No it's fine... It's less... one specific person, and more my entire life... My wish is to protect my time by stopping something in the past... I just don't know what it is yet.

[ladyscarred]

You can't change the past...

[She seems pretty certain. And whatever cheer she had fades.]

[iblistriggered]

[Silver shakes his head]

I know it seems impossible... but I've done it before! I travelled back to the past, and changed things in MY time! ... It just... didn't work out like I planned. I changed things, but they're no better than they were before...

[ladyscarred]

You can't change the outcome of something. Maybe how things reached that point, but it all ends the same.

[iblistriggered]

That's just not true! I did change it! I changed the outcome! Really I did...

[ladyscarred]

...

[She just smiles.]

[iblistriggered]

[he seems distraught for just a moment, but then he just sighs and shrugs, letting a small and knowing smile form on his face]

Well, you don't have to believe me! I know what happened.
