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.

Hm...

[ There was some rancid gravy in his pockets at one point? But when Minato turns out his pockets, they're disappointingly empty. ]

Doesn't seem like it. Is there anything else you'd like?

[ That Minato cannot provide anyways. But also, he mumbles to himself ] ...Don't horses eat grass...

What've you got?

[This horse is an equal-opportunity eater, or something.]

Grass is fine, but it's not very tasty. Wouldn't you get tired of eating the same bland thing over and over again?

Hm... [ No comment about his diet, which is largely bread and ramen. Mmm, carbs. ]

If it's something that I like, I don't think I'd mind. But grass does sound pretty bland... Are leaves any better than grass?

[ There are trees thataway. Flowers? Do horses eat flowers?? He's too used to taking care of soul horses that just feed off his life force, he doesn't know what to do about real ones. ]

Not by much.

[He says, bluntly.

But he'll trot in the direction of some of the trees anyway.]


Do you eat leaves?

[personal profile] compendiem 2019-06-02 05:42 am (UTC)(link)
I've never really tried them? Most of the time, they're so high up.

[ And he's short, made even shorter by the way he slouches when he walks, following after. ]

I'll take recommendations, though?

Don't eat pine. They're more needles than leaves, and it's disgusting.

[ Minato nods seriously to himself; random trivia like this, he commits to memory, at the expense of saving room for general knowledge and common sense. ]

They smell nice, but it makes sense they're not good to eat... What about the leaves off apple trees? Are they sweet like the fruit?
