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.

[That makes her curious, even if her voice remains skeptical.]

Testing what?
nonbelligerent: (the night it rained fire. 19-2)

[personal profile] nonbelligerent 2019-06-02 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
To see if it'd heal.

[personal profile] foodbin 2019-06-02 12:40 am (UTC)(link)
...Is there something weird going on with your healing, too?
nonbelligerent: (lies for you. 12-1)

[personal profile] nonbelligerent 2019-06-02 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
[too?

he just nods.]

[She bends to shift the bandages wrapped around her leg that I forgot existed when she gave him her tie instead. There's a scar there, but it's healed over.]

It was messier than that before I showed up. I wonder what that has to do with whatever's going on here.
nonbelligerent: (lies for you. 1-3)

[personal profile] nonbelligerent 2019-06-02 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
So whatever brought us here healed your injury?
foodbin: (pic#13146196)

[personal profile] foodbin 2019-06-02 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
I... guess?

[She pauses, her brow furrowing in thought.]

I don't know why they would do that, but I can't think of another explanation.

[Or at least one she wants to think about.]
nonbelligerent: (your seven years. 6-1)

[personal profile] nonbelligerent 2019-06-02 01:18 am (UTC)(link)
Perhaps they wanted us all to be on the same level. It'd be unfair if you were injured.
foodbin: (pic#13146172)

[personal profile] foodbin 2019-06-02 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
Unfair for what? You think this is supposed to be some kind of competition...?
nonbelligerent: (lies for you. 12-1)

[personal profile] nonbelligerent 2019-06-02 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not sure.

[but they depowered him to the level of a human, so. he has a bad feeling about this.]

Well, until we get answers, it's in everyone's best interest to get along, wouldn't you say?
foodbin: (pic#13146144)

[personal profile] foodbin 2019-06-02 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
...Yeah, I'd say so.

[proceeds to fight with like three people in other threads]

What's your name? I'm Emma.
nonbelligerent: (lies for you. 1-4)

[personal profile] nonbelligerent 2019-06-02 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
[emma, why]

Shess. The circumstances could be better, but it's nice to meet you.
foodbin: (pic#13146255)

[personal profile] foodbin 2019-06-02 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Hopefully our mysterious captors show up and explain the circumstances soon, but... Nice to meet you either way.

[...]

How's your hand?
nonbelligerent: (lies for you. 12-3)

[personal profile] nonbelligerent 2019-06-02 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you for asking. It's fine, as it's just a minor injury.

[he's dealt with much worse.]
foodbin: (pic#13146170)

[personal profile] foodbin 2019-06-02 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
Right. Well, just make sure it doesn't get infected. Who knows where that knife's been?
nonbelligerent: (lies for you. 1-6)

[personal profile] nonbelligerent 2019-06-02 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
I'll be careful. Don't worry.
