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?

The taken page still requires a little coding, but it should be done by sometime today.
Thank you for your patience!

[Well! That's a fancy enough introduction that Lambda floats over and actually curtsy's again. She knows how to schmooze, unlike some people she could mention, and anyone paying her the proper respect is a good egg in her book.]

Please, don't worry about it. All I hope is that you all enjoy yourselves here, you know? I did plan on making this fun for everyone involved, even if some people [LOOKS AT BRUNO] assumed the worst from the start.

[ She tries her best...! Being diplomatic is basically half her job. ]

A humble hope for so grand a game. [ following her gaze to bruno, sry u got on lambs shitlist ] Perhaps that is why some find it difficult to believe. You offer us our heart's desire yet you ask for little in return. There's much kindness in that, and it would seem your generosity does not end there.

The game we're playing now, did I hear correctly when you said you started it on another's behalf?

[strawberryshortcackle]

The heart's desire is a pretty big thing, yeah. But that's what I do - countless humans have begged for just a moment of my time or my favor. But it's not like I'm not personally getting anything out of this - if I can also keep boredom at bay through this, then it's all worth it.

[Huh. The way she says that...it's less like she's a mere witch and more like she's some kind of arbiter of fate.

As Luna asks that, she nods.]

Yep! For two of our newest members, y'know? So new they've never run a game - and trust me, they were going to actually fight before I stepped in. So I decided to take them under my wing!

....Truth be told, I'm really looking forward to watching their game. Both of them are pretty promising - aaah, is this what a master feels when looking at their protegees? *cackle cackle*
