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!

Is it really magic? I mean, all I've ever seen are, like, sleight of hand tricks...

[ She mimes pulling a rabbit out of a hat... ]

Y'know, like, "Your card is the 8 of Clubs"! Or, uh, "I'll saw this lady in half"! Never heard of something like this...

Well... she teleported all of us here, didn't she? It sounds like everyone showed up just because they thought of a wish when they read the letter...

I think the letter might have been enchanted to activate when you "agreed" to it, but I'm not sure. Our studies never got to magic as complicated as this.

[You know

The typical stuff one learns in school.

Well, it's definitely not the sort of thing you're gonna learn about in any old history class, or something like that. It seems more like you'd see it in...I dunno, what, Charms? Transfiguration?

I'm not so sure about those subjects, but... The magic academy I attended was pretty prestigious, so we did a lot of higher level stuff.

Of course, there's still more years to complete before I can graduate, but... the sacrifice you'd need to make to pull off a spell like this is beyond what they'd be able to comfortably teach us in class, I think.

A magic...academy?!

[ Wait, what? ]

Hey, hey, wait a sec, you better not be pulling my leg! You're telling me you go to a school that teaches you spells and stuff?

[ No bullshit?! ]

Huh?

[He seems surprised at her surprised.]

Yes... I have the talent for magic, so I ended up attending. Although I'm not really as driven as some of the other students...

[Which is kind of a regret at this point. He's really just been coasting by on life...]
