INTRO LOG

[cyclists]

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.

[coastal]

[ I - PROFILES ]

[lili? she's in the main hall, walking through and reading every single scroll. her general expression remains unimpressed, but might occasionally veer into Confused or Disgusted. eventually, she'll comment to no one in particular]

So it's just a bunch of freaks?

[she's right but she didn't have to say it]

[ II - GATES ]

[pick a gate, any gate!! this is lili an and she's looking for a path out and will stop at seemingly nothing! she tries to push the gate open on her own, then tries to kick it, but naturally can't do anything.

so that means she's stopping literally any passerby:]

You.

[she points to the gate and i know you'll be shocked by what she wants - ]

Open this gate.

[ III - ICE ICE BABY ]

[she's been everywhere and is on her second round - you might've seen lili going through pretty much every single location (aside from the houses) and just arriving like a whirlwind, looking for a person that wasn't on the scrolls or any answers, and then exiting.

here she is again except -

she seems to be accompanied by some pretty cold winds?? the air around her is getting a bit frigid.

she doesn't notice, she's just mad - ignore that there's some frost collecting around her hair ornaments

maybe say something to her before she gives us all frost bite? or if she catches you looking in her direction, even if it's just to try to tell where the cold might be coming from, she'll pick the fight for you - ]

And what are you looking at?

[WILDCARD]

[JUST THROW ME WHATEVER YOU WANT FOR A WILDCARD ALSO!! i'll roll with it. plot with me at decals if you want!]

i

[compendiem]

[ Minato laughs, a soft chuckle that's barely more audible than a breath. ]

Yeah.

[ YEAH. They're all just a bunch of freaks. He scans the scrolls until he finds Lili's, and nods his head towards it. ]

There's yours.

[ Thanks ]

[coastal]

I know myself, thank you. I don't need to see what some stupid other people have said about me.

[ . . . . . .

she does glance over in that direction briefly before

RESOLUTELY TURNING HER GAZE BACK TO MINATO BECAUSE SHE REALLY DOESN'T CARE

crossing her arms]

Shouldn't you be more concerned about being called a freak?

[SHE'S THE ONE THAT SAID IT]

I im not even reading the other prompts

[starstricken]

Excuse me?

[ Junna is properly offended. ]

You might want to reconsider that tone.

[coastal]

I won't.

[VERY PLAINLY, why would she ever reconsider her tone

but she does look at junna and seems to recall her scroll - ]

You're a performer, aren't you? I suppose that makes you less odd than the rest. ... though your competition is a hyena.

ii

[specialdog]

[ Akane hesitates for a second, but at least she looks like she's not offended? ]

... I wish I could.

[coastal]

[lili tilts her head at that]

Have you tried?

ii

[omegathree]

[This man who looks like he was playing a vampire somewhere is also holding a three foot doll under his arm.

Looks at Lili, looks at the gate.]

No.

[coastal]

[what]

..... are you a moron?

II

[stillstands]

[ Wow. ]

Have you even tried, or did you just give up and delegate immediately?

[coastal]

Of course I've tried - do you think me some useless lush?

Arguing over stupid things won't get it open any faster, you know.

[gestures! back to the gate! open!]

III

[leaberator]

[ he raises his arms in a placating gesture that's immediately offset by the amused look on his face ]

Hey, don't freeze my head off. The air around you's cold enough as it is.

[ he gestures at all of lili like he expects her to understand what the fuck he's talking about ]

[coastal]

[she dOESN'T]

Then get thicker skin!

[she's so frustrated she's taking it out on anyone nearby i'm so sorry]

ii

[lionharts]

... Do it yourself.

[ don't be rude?? both lili and squall tbh, both are rude, ]

[coastal]

I've already tried.

[PLAINLY]

If it'll entertain you - I'll try again.

However I can't help but think you might have a better chance.

[A POINTED LOOK given that she's a tiny princess and he is uh. not.]

III

[fujino]

[With Fujino, she can't tell that it's frigid, but she does know the indication of wind, by the way, her long hair flaps around her to create messy strands and the mild force of it against her body. With Lili's snapping inquiry, Fujino flinches a bit.]

I... I just noticed that it's windy. That's all.

[She's a little bad with aggressive people. Just a bit.]

[coastal]

[ . . . . . ughhhhh.

Lili pauses for a moment before she sighs.]

... the conditions here aren't good to live in. You should go inside if it's bothering you. It'll get dark soon.

ii

[nonbelligerent]

[...

well, okay. shess apparently doesn't mind being bossed around, so as requested, he pushes at the gate. he's evidently putting a lot of force into it too, but you know. not opening.]

ii

[globs]

[ they'd also been hoping to find a way out of here, but when they saw someone else already at the gate, they hung back, hiding partially behind a tree. Not hiding well enough, apparently. They act as if halfway standing behind something is a totally normal way to have a conversation, even if they're also kind of embarrassed to get caught.

bluntly: ]

It doesn't open. I just saw you trying.

ii

[foodbin]

Right, because you were having so much luck with it.

[She pauses, though, because she does want to find a way out despite the way that tone grates on her.]

If you want to give me a lift, I can see if I can reach the top.

I

[liversandhyenas]

And what exactly would be not a freak?

[Grim Eyes doesn't seem offended, most likely because that was her same thought. That list and its people are really weird]

Describing yourself is cheating.

[Because that's the easy answer]

iii

[forefall]

[ Four looks more concerned than offended. She gestures to Lili's hair ornaments. ]

I'm sorry, but I'm afraid if your aim is to give others the cold shoulder, you're giving yourself one as well. I don't want you to get hypothermia.

PROFILES

[tothemaxwell]

[Milla glances from Lili, to the profiles, and back again.]

A bunch of freaks?

[There's a look of consideration, and a puff of amusement.]

Yes, I suppose with these profiles, it would certainly look that way. Although it seems that yours is at least accurate.

i

[blackcoats]

[ by this point, xion's no longer being lowkey shady and keeping her hood up around others. as she's reading through the scrolls herself, she automatically assumes lili is talking to her, since it doesn't seem like anyone else is around for her to be addressing. ]

That isn't a very nice thing to say...

[ please be nice to her ]

ii!

[televised]

[Without missing a beat:]

No.
