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!

[ Just. Sighing quietly... ]

Don't worry so much about it. It's not that big of a deal. Pain happens for everyone.
curryparty: (I think)

[personal profile] curryparty 2019-02-15 04:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Well yes, but most people don't grow stronger from pain...

[...]

...Do you use a magic that requires sacrifice?
enter_the_darkness: (hmmm........)

[personal profile] enter_the_darkness 2019-02-15 04:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ... Oh.

Hm.

That sure is a look on his face, huh? He's actually staring at the guy for a moment. ]


In the end, maybe.
curryparty: (As it radiates)

[personal profile] curryparty 2019-02-15 05:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[It sure is.]

"In the end?"
enter_the_darkness: (another serious mode)

[personal profile] enter_the_darkness 2019-02-15 05:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He just gives a very dismissive wave of one hand. ]

In the end.
curryparty: (I will let)

[personal profile] curryparty 2019-02-15 07:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hmmm...]

So it takes everything, but only at the end?
enter_the_darkness: (not sulking)

[personal profile] enter_the_darkness 2019-02-15 07:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He shrugs a shoulder. ]

Something like that.
curryparty: (into that cage.)

[personal profile] curryparty 2019-02-15 07:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[...]

Pretty different from the sacrifices our magic uses.

[But he's been hearing a lot of that here.]
enter_the_darkness: (another serious mode)

[personal profile] enter_the_darkness 2019-02-16 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
[ Tilting his head a bit. ]

What does yours use?
curryparty: (speck of light.)

[personal profile] curryparty 2019-02-16 07:07 am (UTC)(link)
It's different depending on the person. Dreams, memories, life, even things like the health of your mind or body...

[He trails off at the end there, but he picks up again after a short pause.]

With each spell, you give up a little bit more. Unfortunately, since it's different for each person, some people don't even realize what they're giving up for their magic right away when they start their studies.
