A storm started rolling over the island of Rokkenjima, and the people inside the great Ushiromiya Mansion were preparing for the Emergency Family Conference. While incomplete, a decent portion of the family had come together for this event. The topics to be discussed, however, were still unknown to the Ushiromiyas and their Servants, and they were spending time catching up with each other’s lives in the family lounge.
The peaceful chatter was interrupted when one of the Servants entered the room and announced the arrival of a mysterious letter that would disrupt the planned events of that night. One of the younger family members took it upon themselves to be the one to read the letter to the group, and announced the situation they found themselves in.
In a world above theirs, twelve mysterious figures had slowly taken their seats in a dusty marble hall that had been left long unused. The thirteenth seat, a throne taller than the others that was covered in draped red cloth, awaited the master of the realm. Some of the seated were silent, awaiting a chance at redemption or another victory. Others, loud and eager, ready to enter this world and game. Two in particular kept to themselves, one planning their moves while the other looked on in worry, yet resignation to the role they’d have to play.
A loud noise signaled the opening of a door, and as the twelve stood from their seats in respect and silence, an older gentleman in flowing crimson robes entered the hall and made his way to the final seat. With a nod, he sat in the crimson throne, and the others returned to their seats.
“Welcome, Players, to my Rokkenjima Gameboard. You’ll be playing for an honoured victory against a Sorceror of my caliber. A great chance for some of you budding wannabe Voyagers.”
“I assume you all know what you’re getting into, but I’ll explain the basics for our newcomers. This will be a game of two teams, played with the Piece you’ve been assigned. The Humans, the majority of you, must find and defeat the Witches, a minority. None of the Humans will know who is who, but the Witch players know all. If you want to defeat me, Humans, find and kill every Witch piece on the Gameboard to the best of your ability with the piece you’ve been assigned.”
The seated Players looked down on the board in the center of the room, watching the pieces move about in the panic induced by the letter’s contents, discovering the many doors and windows sealed shut.
“Let’s see how you fare, Players. Let our Game begin.”
You have 48 Hours to decide on your votes, with the phase ending at 11:30AM UTC, on Wednesday the 5th of November.
With 12 Players remaining, the majority lynch is at 7. If majority is achieved, the vote will be frozen and the player nominated will be killed as soon as the Game Master is available. If majority is not achieved during the Phase, the player with the most votes at the end of the time limit will be killed.
Enjoy your day.
