MOCK ROUND INTRO LOG
Welcome to
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!

[Who even knows, they're magically on an island now, anything could go really.]
no subject
[ He really isn't. ]
no subject
[Op...timism?]
no subject
...Looking on the bright side of things, huh?
[ Riku already expected to do some exploring, but. Yeah. ]
no subject
[They also have no idea if whatever game involved is going to require knowing good places to hide. It'll be good to take note of everything!]
no subject
[ So he's seeing the light? Though he'd like to not be viewed as childish. He still has this idea that he has appearances to keep. ]
no subject
She seemed really playful... You don't see too many magic users with this much power who talk about games.
no subject
No, not really. In my experience, the more powerful the magic user, the less playful they are.
[ See: Maleficent, Yen Sid, and countless others. Well, in his opinion anyway. ]
no subject
[They're in agreement!]
But I like to have fun when I can. Maybe I'm just not serious enough about it, though.
no subject
No, it's fine. [ He smiles a little, actually. ] I have this friend back home who'd probably say something similar, and I think he's better off that way—knowing how to have fun when he can. And I believe that's something that shouldn't change, especially if it doesn't have to.
no subject
Ehh, really? [Now he looks interested. The fact that Riku's smiling about it is a good sign!] What's he like?
no subject
At the question, however, something in his expression softens, in a far different way than even the smile that graced his lips could ever indicate. ]
He's the type of person who always reaches out to those who needs his help the most, and naturally looks out for his friends no matter how far away they are from him. He never hesitates to do what's right, and [ There's a light laugh, but a twinkle of something happy in his eyes. ] he's awfully good at lighting up the mood, and Sora can brighten the room just by walking right into it. He doesn't even need to say a word.
I'm honestly grateful we had the chance to meet each other.
...I'm sure you'd like him too—there aren't many people who can't get along with him.
[ It's clear that this Sora is...important to Riku. ]
no subject
There's still some pain, but he knows better than to think that it'll fade anytime soon. That's why he's here, after all, isn't it?
But it's still nice, listening to someone talk about another they care for so much.]
He sounds like an important friend. Do you guys get along well?
no subject
[ And in some ways, not like everyone else, but he'll keep his own shame to himself for now. ]
But, it was all worth it in the end. [ ... ] You have any important friends you could rely on?
no subject
His smile freezes in place for the briefest of moments before softening into something more bittersweet.]
...Mm, I have an important friend, yes. [Or at least, he hopes. He still can't give up on that hope, even in the face of everything that had happened.] But I don't know about relying on him...
He's busy with his own things now, so I don't think I'll be able to see him again.
[And he's got no one to blame for it but himself.]
no subject
But, if he's important to you, you don't want to be away from him forever, don't you?
[ Just like how he wouldn't want to be away from Sora for an eternity. It would likely literally break his heart.
And...when he'd done things on his own, it hadn't gone so well. Not without his friends beside him, and dark beings whispering lies in his ears. ]
When you have the chance to return home, try to see about visiting him sometime. He likely needs you more than you'd know, and someday, he'll be glad you're there by his side.
1/2
Yuushin is... ambitious. Once he gets an idea in his head, it's impossible to stop him, you know?
[Impossible for Asuma, anyway. His words just never reach...]
I'd like to see him again if I could. But I think he'll be pretty stubborn about his ambitions.
2/2
...Mm, maybe I explained it wrong the first time. Actually, we got in a really big fight not too long ago, so it's possible he doesn't even consider me a friend anymore.
[He knows. He knows he just wants dearly for that to be the case.]
no subject
[ Riku was like that at one time. Ambitious and stubborn to the point that he wouldn't just listen. He'd even almost killed his best friend because the rift between them became so vast, but...it still got repaired somehow. But, who can say?
It could be that he was just lucky, so he'll just add, giving a bit of a shrug: ]
I won't pretend to know everything, but I believe thinking it over can't hurt. There could still be a chance—and who knows? You might be surprised.
no subject
...I'll see what I can do.
[He doesn't want to give up just yet. But, on that note:]
Ah- sorry, I got us distracted. [Wow, such self-awareness. If only he could be like this about non-serious issues.] Should we get going?
no subject
Yeah, let's get going.
[ They've done enough standing around... ]
