MOCK ROUND - WEEK 1

[foundationmods]

All of the guests awoke in their rooms, just like they had before.

Yesterday had been a day of surprises.
First, they'd finally met the person who had brought them here.
Secondly, they'd learned they were going to be playing a false murder mystery for two weeks.
And most important, they learned that wishes could be granted if they won this game.🗈

Still, for now, it seemed like there wasn't much to do. Was the Witch already in talks with the 'Murderer'? Was the 'victim' already decided upon?

There was no way to know until some day later this week, apparently.

Still, it wasn't all bad. The island was beautiful and the climate just perfect for beachgoing, or taking a cosy walk in the garden. There were also board and card games which would be produced upon request, to help ease the boredom of it all.

Though, perhaps the guests would prefer to get to know each other instead? On maybe get into some trouble as they roamed the island.

Yet, with only a fake game in front of them....there's no proper sense of foreboding, is there?

....But maybe all of this...

...Is just the calm before the storm.

I never had a need to learn, either.

[Despite the profusion of fragrant plants surrounding her, she doesn't seem inclined to learn now, either. She simply remains there, surrounded by all the herbs in the world and then some.

A moment's thought--]

... It may be a dying skill where I come from.

[resealed]

For me it was more that I never had anyone to teach me. [because orphan life!! and being part of the thieves guild meant that whatever food they did come by, it was something they had to steal from someone who made it]

Why is it a dying skill where you're from?

[artificialhighness]

Only humans need the skill, and there are few enough humans that I haven't seen one perform it in a long time.

[She nods at the plants by her.]

That may also be why I haven't seen gardens like this.

[resealed]

Oh, I guess that explains it.

But wait, there aren't many humans left? What do you mean? [what happened to the humans!!]

[artificialhighness]

There was a war, between the humans and the robots. Enough humans were saved for their species not to go extinct; they are a hardy type. But the world still has not recovered.

[Sorry, have some post-apocalyptic gloom with your casual kitchen chat.]

[resealed]

Robots and humans were at war? That's— it sounds like it must have been a lot to have to deal with.
