MOCK ROUND INTRO LOG



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!

There's always rumors of demons, but other than that, there's definitely only humans where I'm from.
ladyscarred: (So why won't it disappear?)

[She takes a moment, holding her hand up with her fingers splayed. Then she lowers a finger, then another. Until all that's there is a fist.]

...No. I can't think any country that doesn't have a prominent non-human.
curryparty: (I want to forget all)

[personal profile] curryparty 2019-02-11 10:03 pm (UTC)(link)
But how can that...?

[The idea of other worlds is just so foreign, he can hardly conceive of it. It just isn't something he's thought about enough for it to come to him so easily.

Is she lying...? He doesn't think so. She sounds much too earnest for it. But then, how?

ladyscarred: (This song isn't long enough)

[personal profile] ladyscarred 2019-02-11 10:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[She just shakes her head. She's just as lost.]

I don't know... I heard that long ago before the harmonic unification war the different races didn't live so closely with each other. Because there was more space. But...

[Time travel was just as unlikely.]
curryparty: (I think)

[personal profile] curryparty 2019-02-11 10:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Harmonic... unification war?

[There's talk of war brewing, certainly, but he's never heard of anything like that.]
ladyscarred: (Look to the sky and see how vast it is)

[personal profile] ladyscarred 2019-02-12 06:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Jud. You haven't heard of it have you? [There's a wiry smile and a sigh.]

No matter the country or affiliation, all students are taught of it.
curryparty: (But since that alone)

[personal profile] curryparty 2019-02-12 08:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Another thing that shouldn't be possible, then.

[but how are these contradictions happening to begin with?]
ladyscarred: (Grief is nobody's fault)

[personal profile] ladyscarred 2019-02-12 09:23 pm (UTC)(link)
No. I've heard there have been a lot of strange things happening out in the world lately.

But I wasn't expecting it to be like this.
curryparty: (I think)

[personal profile] curryparty 2019-02-12 10:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[He hesitates a bit.]

There's tension between my country and others, so our communication can be limited at times. But that doesn't explain the differences at all...
ladyscarred: (Look how vast it is)

[personal profile] ladyscarred 2019-02-13 09:07 pm (UTC)(link)
It doesn't. [That's blunter than needed, and she sighs.]

I can't think of an explanation that won't sound ridiculous.
curryparty: (flow of time.)

[personal profile] curryparty 2019-02-14 05:37 am (UTC)(link)
...

What are the ridiculous explanations you can think of?
ladyscarred: (Grief is nobody's fault)

[personal profile] ladyscarred 2019-02-14 08:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[Her mouth opens, then closes in a smile. But she's just going to list them.]

Our host is a witch. She could have enchanted us away into a disguised labyrinth. Someone has managed to recreate or find the tools needed to maintain the harmonic world and this is their creation.

Or it is connected to the strange phenomenon.
curryparty: (As it radiates)

[personal profile] curryparty 2019-02-14 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
The strange phenomenon?
ladyscarred: (Nobody wishes for it)

[personal profile] ladyscarred 2019-02-14 08:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Disappearances. Circles and writing appearing in blood where the person last was.
curryparty: (too brilliantly)

[personal profile] curryparty 2019-02-14 08:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[Um.]

When did that...?

[Did he miss out on a magic circle somewhere??]
ladyscarred: (Grief is nobody's fault)

[personal profile] ladyscarred 2019-02-14 09:19 pm (UTC)(link)
The last one I know of was a few years ago... [Her father's.]

The words on it were 'Long time, my friend'
curryparty: (I will let)

[personal profile] curryparty 2019-02-14 09:44 pm (UTC)(link)
So it's something from where you're from...

We haven't had any situations like that around Kamigusk.
ladyscarred: (I call your name. But get no answer)

[personal profile] ladyscarred 2019-02-14 10:33 pm (UTC)(link)
I've heard it's happened in a few places. But no one is willing to admit how many people they've lost to it.
curryparty: (I think)

[personal profile] curryparty 2019-02-14 11:03 pm (UTC)(link)
...

There's probably information that doesn't reach us at school, but if it involves magic, I think there'd at least be rumors...

[Kids do love their spooky urban legends.]
ladyscarred: (before I forget my feelings for you)

[personal profile] ladyscarred 2019-02-16 06:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, there's a lot of those with this one. It used to be called the princess disappearances because the first to vanish was a princess, and the ones after her were all girls. There have been men disappear under the same circumstances since though.
curryparty: (isn't ending.)

[personal profile] curryparty 2019-02-17 06:18 am (UTC)(link)
I definitely should have heard of that, so why...?

[Just what is going on here?]
ladyscarred: (before I forget my feelings for you)

[personal profile] ladyscarred 2019-02-17 10:41 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know. And I don't believe we'll have a way of finding out why.
