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.

globs: (what burns inside you)

Huh?

[ staring at her questioningly with narrowed eyes. She's obviously not a gem... Something like Sensei, maybe? ]
tothemaxwell: (i'm on a mission tonight)

[personal profile] tothemaxwell 2019-06-04 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
Are you also a spirit?
globs: (as we were dancing in the blue)

[personal profile] globs 2019-06-04 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
[ Spirit? Oh, they're instantly on guard; the only spirits they know are the Lunarians, and so, they jump to their feet, some of the silvery liquid pooling around them floating up alongside them and bristling. ]

A Lunarian...?! I knew it...

[ but she hasn't attacked yet, and Cinnabar hates to fight -- so they hold back, waiting to see. ]
tothemaxwell: (i'm a fuse)

[personal profile] tothemaxwell 2019-06-04 10:45 am (UTC)(link)
[Milla tilts her head as Cinnabar jumps up, brow crinkling. What's all this.]

A Lunarian? I can't say I'm familiar. Are they also a type of spirit?

[While she doesn't make any move to attack, she also... doesn't seem particularly bothered by the threatening blobs.]
globs: (i am softly watching you)

[personal profile] globs 2019-06-04 04:50 pm (UTC)(link)
You're not?

[ they don't seem like they entirely buy it -- although she does look quite different from any Lunarian they've ever seen.

Anyway, time to keep ignoring her questions!! ]


So you're just some wandering spirit...?
tothemaxwell: (she's an atom bomb)

[personal profile] tothemaxwell 2019-06-05 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
No.

[She crosses her arms, straightening up.]

I am Maxwell, lord of spirits. I haven't wandered in quite a while.

Oh! I suppose I've settled down...? I always thought it meant something different...

[that's not what Cinnabar meant but go off]
globs: (with the sunlight?)

[personal profile] globs 2019-06-05 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
[ their nose wrinkles in distaste. ]

... I have no interest in talking to a "lord of spirits." All you do is cause trouble.
tothemaxwell: (i'm a fuse)

[personal profile] tothemaxwell 2019-06-05 01:28 pm (UTC)(link)
I do?

[dang]

What have I done to you so far?
globs: (i am softly watching you)

[personal profile] globs 2019-06-06 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
"Spirits" have been kidnapping us gems since before I was born. And recently, you even...

[ they trail off, then shake their head. ]

Why should I believe you're any different?
tothemaxwell: (stand back)

[personal profile] tothemaxwell 2019-06-06 11:06 am (UTC)(link)
That is a rather compelling argument. [wow] Considering the facts, I suppose you wouldn't have much reason to trust me at all. You certainly don't have any proof thus far.

[She is seriously considering this.]

Then, how about this? I will show you with my actions that I am here to protect you, rather than hurt you. Although I have never heard of a race called the "gems" before, I will do my best to be the exception to your terrible experiences.

With that said, I could start by leaving you alone—as long as you feel you are safe here.
