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: (are they things)

So you admit you were lying, then...

[ no surprise!! no one likes them. but that's the way things are supposed to be. ]

[personal profile] specialdog 2019-06-04 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
What are you getting so mad, for? I'm saying it's not a big deal.
globs: (in the waves ive lost every trace of you)

[personal profile] globs 2019-06-04 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
I don't like when people lie to me. Everyone always is.

[ the fake friendliness is the worst. ]

If you've got nothing important to say, then leave. Before you get contaminated.

[personal profile] specialdog 2019-06-04 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
It isn't a lie. Being surprised at first and then rethinking something isn't lying.

[ but, uh, hold up. ]

Contaminated by what?
globs: (that trouble's gone)

[personal profile] globs 2019-06-04 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
Me.

[ they gesture vaguely at the silvery balls floating around them. ]

I'm poisonous. You'll die.
specialdog: (pic#13190462)

[personal profile] specialdog 2019-06-04 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
Hmm...

I just have to be careful about my distance, right?
globs: (what is my fate?)

[personal profile] globs 2019-06-04 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
Huh?

[ how... cavalier!! they look a little bewildered. ]

You really think that's good enough? Sooner or later, you'll get hurt.
specialdog: (pic#13190463)

[personal profile] specialdog 2019-06-04 05:38 am (UTC)(link)
But they say more accidents happen in the home, right? That kind of thing means that anyone can get hurt anywhere.
globs: (am i supposed to pay?)

[personal profile] globs 2019-06-04 06:13 am (UTC)(link)
Wh... What's that got to do with anything...

[ this non sequitur has caught them off guard ]
specialdog: (pic#13190521)

[personal profile] specialdog 2019-06-04 06:26 am (UTC)(link)
Like I said - anyone can get hurt anywhere. So fussing about it too much and trying to avoid every possibility of it is pointless.
globs: (as we were dancing in the blue)

[personal profile] globs 2019-06-04 04:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Are you an idiot? You'll die.
specialdog: (pic#13194047)

[personal profile] specialdog 2019-06-05 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
I'll be fiiiiine.
globs: (is there any chance)

[personal profile] globs 2019-06-05 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
[ WHY ISN'T IT WORKING. ]

Fine. Die, then. Not like I care. Just don't say I didn't warn you.
specialdog: (pic#13190500)

[personal profile] specialdog 2019-06-05 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
I promise not to come back as a ghost to say you didn't warn me.
globs: (a warm sun rises and ignites the bay)

[personal profile] globs 2019-06-05 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
You're annoying.

[ judgement PASSED. they huddle in a little tighter on themself, staring pointedly at the fish again. ]
specialdog: (pic#13190550)

[personal profile] specialdog 2019-06-05 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
Then isn't it fine if I die?
globs: (a warm sun rises and ignites the bay)

[personal profile] globs 2019-06-05 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
I just said it was. Leave me alone already.
specialdog: (pic#13190475)

[personal profile] specialdog 2019-06-05 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
You want me to leave so I don't get hurt and you don't care if I get hurt.

Pick one.
globs: (whatever i feel for you)

[personal profile] globs 2019-06-05 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
Why would I want someone to get hurt? I'm telling you for your own good. Obviously, I was wasting my time.

[ and just like that, they start walking away... ]
specialdog: (pic#13190525)

[personal profile] specialdog 2019-06-05 04:52 am (UTC)(link)
[ she wants to argue but she's definitely not the type to give chase, so... ]

Bye bye.
