INTRO LOG

Week Zero
32 in Competition

The transition from unconsciousness to the waking world is practically seamless. Though you're certain this wasn't where you meant to end up, for a few brief moments it's hard to grasp the situation and take in your surroundings.

A soft twilight lights your way, casting a glow over the sprawling village that fans out around you. Just outside of the large meeting hall you'll find yourself awakening among several others who have found themselves in this place. There's a sense of peace that looms over the area, the only sounds being the cheerful chirp of a stray bird or two and the babbling brook that runs through the village itself.

Stand up, dust yourself off and set out. There are plenty of places to explore and should you venture far enough you'll even find several little houses throughout the village. It may take some time, but as you check out each house you'll soon come across something that belongs to you...along with something that doesn't. It seems that this new residence is yours to share. As for the village itself, the other buildings appear open and well-stocked, providing you with a variety of amenities to utilize. The paths leading out of the village, however, are guarded by four ornate wooden gates. No matter how hard you try, they will not let you past. It seems that the time isn't right yet.

Speaking of, the only way to truly track the passage of time is by charting the movements of the sun but that can prove to be quite difficult as well. As the sun dips below the horizon and the night sky fills with stars, the bell at the shrine rings out to signal the end of your first day. No one else has arrived. It's only you and these strangers for now.

It seems as though you'll have plenty of time to get acquainted with your fellow companions. Make yourself comfortable; when the time is right, answers will appear.



Welcome to the soft intro of Subdivided! This is your intro mingle and the current conditions will last through the weekend until Monday, June 3rd at which point the weekly log will go up. Your characters will not know anything about the partner system, how powers work or any plot-relevant information until Monday. However, characters are free to discover their power through trial and error and will have access to their item from home immediately.

Please note that an additional top-level to introduce NPCs and Game Mechanics will go up on Sunday, 4 PM EST.

Right...

I have no idea how we'll try still.

No offense, but you don't seem like you have much experience in climbing. I'll try to get up first, and then I'll haul you up. Try to find something you can hold onto, like a rope or something.

[She's already touching the gate, gauging how easy it'd be to climb]

I'll go find something.

[ she'll nod, and then hurry off in search of an item. ]

[Time to get out of this village. Grim Eyes tries to get her claws into the wood and starts climbing.

The problem is, well, there aren't many footholds on a gate, compared to rocky cliffs and other similar places. Maybe it's no surprise that, when Namine returns later, Grim Eyes hasn't progressed much. She's like three meters off the floor, clinging to the door and grumbling to herself. She's certainly not a happy camper right now]

... are you okay?

[ she kind of knows the answer but ]

It's that hard to climb it?

[personal profile] liversandhyenas 2019-06-04 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. It doesn't help I don't climb trees often.

[Or pretty much anything that wasn't a cliff in the recent past]

If we can't get over it then there must be another way.
