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.

[tothemaxwell]

[She gives him a long, slow stare.]

No.

[unfriendliest]

[ Well, you're officially useless. Thanks! ]

Fine. I'll find him myself.

[ Honestly why did he even ask. ]

[tothemaxwell]

Ookurikara, was it?

[It's the same stare.]

Interesting. You seem to have brought your own name.

[unfriendliest]

[ Well he was going to leave. Instead he levels Milla with a stare of his own, knowing exactly what she's referring to after giving the scrolls a cursory glance and retrieving his sword. Does he really want to tell her, though?

No. No he does not. ]

Didn't everyone?

[tothemaxwell]

No. A name is not normally an item one carries with them.

[If anything, her gaze seems to casually intensify.]

Although you seem human in appearance, 850 is far beyond a regular lifespan—and your acquaintance, Tsurumaru, seems to share the same oddities, even down to the wording.

[unfriendliest]

[ He could say something about how we're always carrying names with us but this isn't the right character for that, so all he'll say is: ]

So?

[ If you wanted an explanation, you came to the wrong sword. ]

[tothemaxwell]

[wow.

a sparkling retort.]

So? I suppose I have nothing more than that. I suppose I was simple intrigued by the mystery and bond you both share.

[unfriendliest]

It's not that mysterious.

[ not when you have the details he's not giving you! ]

And I don't see why it matters.

[tothemaxwell]

Isn't it?

[There's something missing. Maybe just one thing.]

Then you won't find it odd that I'm still curious, despite what I know from your scrolls. As for why something like that matters, it seems pertinent to know the details of fellow victims of a sudden abduction, so we might be able to work together.

[unfriendliest]

I don't care if you're curious. I don't plan on getting along with you.

[ he's great at first impressions! with that, he's going to turn to walk away again because what's the point? Ookurikara doesn't need to explain himself or Tsuru to this rando, fellow abductee or not. ]

[tothemaxwell]

Hmph. It may not be a matter of getting along.

[While she doesn't move to stop him, she watches him as he leaves.]
