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: (where are you?)

[ a sigh. Honestly? Barely anything. ]

... You're made of flesh, bone, and spirit. You're animals, but you look a lot like we do. You lived on our planet a long time ago, but you went extinct after the sixth impact. [ a beat. they flex their fingers idly, a string of silvery mercury stretching between their thumb and index finger. ] Because of that, until today, I'd never met one.
twinsightful: (WONDER ♜ What?)

[He's busy watching the mercury because oh, that's very much a thing, and when they explain suddenly a few things make sense. Kaoru looks up, blinking in surprise as he debates which part to ask about first.]

Well obviously we aren't extinct where I'm from. But what impact? Like a meteor?

[Is this like dinosaurs?]
globs: (swirling fireflies)

[personal profile] globs 2019-06-05 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
That's right.

[ as far as they've been told, anyway. ]
twinsightful: (THOUGHTFUL ♜ How does that work?)

[personal profile] twinsightful 2019-06-05 06:46 am (UTC)(link)
Do you know what happened after the first five impacts? [Was humanity just killed off five times? Should he be worried about this?]
globs: (are they things)

[personal profile] globs 2019-06-05 12:53 pm (UTC)(link)
How would I? That happened so long before any of us were born.

[ they just know what sensei taught them. ]

Worried?
twinsightful: (THOUGHTFUL ♜ Lay it on me)

[personal profile] twinsightful 2019-06-05 03:38 pm (UTC)(link)
I wouldn't call it worried. Just curious.

[And maybe a little concerned but he figures he won't be around for whenever that happens.]
globs: (darkness has surrounded baltimore bay)

[personal profile] globs 2019-06-06 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
... There's nothing you could do to stop it, anyway. That's just the way things are.

[ sometimes life deals you a shitty hand, and you have no choice but to accept it. ]
twinsightful: (CURIOUS ♜ Probably eavesdropping)

[personal profile] twinsightful 2019-06-06 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
I suppose so. [Hm.]

...are you going to stay out here for now?
globs: (where are you?)

[personal profile] globs 2019-06-06 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
I don't sleep at night.

[ so yes... ]

Why?
twinsightful: (UNSURE ♜ Eyes the size of the moon)

[personal profile] twinsightful 2019-06-06 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
Just wondering. I have some other things to do. [Not really, but he gets the sense they might want to be alone.] Maybe I'll come find you again?

[And Sib and Ty can get out of captcha hell.]
globs: (that water can't wash away?)

[personal profile] globs 2019-06-06 04:49 am (UTC)(link)
[ free us ]

Do whatever you want. I already warned you.

[ love you too kaoru... ]
twinsightful: (Default)

[personal profile] twinsightful 2019-06-06 04:23 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not great with warnings. [There's a slight grin and he's standing up, flicking pond water off of his hand. But he'll turn to head away.]

See you later, Cinnabar. [And off he goes.]
