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!

So what you're saying is that you come from beyond mortality. Beyond the constraints of life, and death. Does that seem right?

[It's not all that farfetched, all things considered.

She did kind of yoink them all here for a game involving witchy deaths of some kind. Apart from controlling the game, there must be more to her.]

Pretty much! Ah, but don't think that a Witch can die. We absolutely can! It's just....hm, well, 'death' for a Witch isn't really a death unless we stop thinking or give up on the fact that we 'exist.'

There are countless witches who have died due to boredom stilling their thoughts, or ones who gave into their fears about not being real....of course, someone as beautiful and wonderful as me has never worried about something like that!

It's not so different from robots, the ones before. Things are different now where I come from, but that's one part of immortality.

[There are theories about the Ruin and its connection to consciousness or something as tenuous as will to live, but most robots are much too busy surviving to worry about the theories on a day-to-day basis.

She gives Lambda an appraising look.]

Yes, I suppose you wouldn't have to worry. You make your own entertainment.
