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.

... Because I didn't know we were allowed to wear other clothes...?
leaberator: (what's better than this?)

[


hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ]


Allowed...? [ it's more to himself. ] You were wearing some yesterday.

[ normally he wouldn't jump to this, but between namine, organization xion and-- you-know-who, he has to fucking ask: ]

Xion, what's the last thing you remember?

[ is this TIME TRAVEL ]

[personal profile] blackcoats 2019-06-01 10:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[ . . .

xion suddenly doesn't like where this conversation is going? ]


Um... RTCing after doing a mission with Roxas. [ a beat ] Axel...?
leaberator: (... what the hell is rent)

[personal profile] leaberator 2019-06-01 10:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[ oh, bad. also, RTCing after a mission with Roxas is so goddamn vague, he hates this. why did they go on so many together. he can't even pinpoint when this is except from bad time dot org ]

Alright. This is going to sound pretty weird. [ but there's no way around it, so: ] Xion, you're from the past. [ no, wait. ] Or is it more accurate to say I'm from your future...? Ugh, I've already got a headache about this.

[ ?????????????????? ]

Um, are... you okay? You're not making any sense...
leaberator: (looks like i'm going to liar's jail)

[personal profile] leaberator 2019-06-02 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
[ he just. sighs. ]

Yeah, I know. [ it doesn't make sense to him either. ] ... I'm sorry. [ for so much? and so much of it she doesn't know yet. but he's going to pretend it's just about the making sense part. ] You know what? It doesn't matter that much right now. We can't open corridors here, so wearing the coat isn't important. Let's go with that.

[ lea is lucky xion is dumb? there's a lingering hint of confusion on her face, but... she trusts him. ]

I... okay. [ beat ] Um... I don't have anything else to wear, though.
leaberator: (like 69 cents?)

[personal profile] leaberator 2019-06-03 04:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[ he feels bad lying to her but it was. reflexive. which actually makes him feel WORSE this is a cycle of douchebaggery. He'll... Explain more privately. yes. he waves her off ]

Yeah, obviously. It's fine if you wanna keep wearing it, but... I saw a place where you can get some other clothes while I was doing some recon?

[ why did he call it recon ]
blackcoats: (pic#13205145)

[personal profile] blackcoats 2019-06-03 04:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[ look, a fresh-from-the-organization xion sees literally nothing wrong with "recon"? anyway, the surprised look on her face lingers for a bit before it turns into something... a little more determined? ]

Can you show me where it is?
leaberator: (omg did you draw this? that is so good)

[personal profile] leaberator 2019-06-03 04:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, sure. That's why I mentioned it.

[ ah, he's getting nostalgic for something that wasn't that long ago. This is bad? He gestures at her to go with him but then pauses-- ]

Ah, keep the flower, though. Maybe you can keep it to accessorize.

[ he has no idea about fashion but he is TRYING ]

[personal profile] blackcoats 2019-06-03 04:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[ her eyes grow wide again, but then... she laughs. ]

I'm really glad you like it.
leaberator: (and i never learned how to read)

[personal profile] leaberator 2019-06-03 04:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Why wouldn't I?

[ it's on one of his favorite people?? he doesn't say that part, though, just walking off towards the boutique ]

It doesn't seem like Roxas is around, so it looks like it'll just be you and me.

[ he'd add naminé, but he's not sure if Xion knows her yet...

he is not even mentioning The Ex, though, still pretending it's not real ]

[personal profile] blackcoats 2019-06-03 04:51 pm (UTC)(link)
...

We'll be okay. I believe in us.

[ and here, she tentatively reaches out for his hand. ]
leaberator: (next to a bANANANA)

[personal profile] leaberator 2019-06-03 05:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[ what the fuck is with people holding his hand all of a sudden?? IS IT THE SKIN THAT MAKES HIM MORE APPROCHABLE??

But of course it's his daughter best friend, so he squeezes it even as he rubs the back of his neck with his other one and doesn't look back at her, pretending like he is not at all embarrassed by emotions Still, like some kind of Loser ]


'Course we will. Look who you're talking about.

[personal profile] blackcoats 2019-06-03 05:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[ she should be the og axel handholder... smh

whatever the case, the only response he's getting now is a tiny giggle. ]
leaberator: (happy birthday raven)

[personal profile] leaberator 2019-06-03 06:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[ a nobody has no right to hold hands

Whatever, Here They Are At The Boutique ]


Here we are! [ he gestures, grandly, like this is something worth showing off ] Let's go find you something that's not 100% Organization brand, yeah?

[ hm, he probably shouldn't be so dismissive of the organization until he explains to her properly

o well he gestures for her to go in ]

[personal profile] blackcoats 2019-06-03 10:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[ honestly to xion it is? case in point— ]

There's so much to choose from!

[ WHERE DOES SHE START ]
leaberator: (dad look it's the good kush)

[personal profile] leaberator 2019-06-03 10:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Right? You won't have to wear the same thing every day.

[ says Lea, who had to practically be wrestled into wearing a new outfit because he's a sad sack ]

You've seen people wear stuff like this before. Is there anything you've ever wanted to try wearing?
