INTRO LOG

[cyclists]

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.

[It's a fairly wild swerve from normality, but he'll just answer what he is and what he does.]

I'm from the Netherworld and I drink blood to sustain myself.

[forefall]

What kind of blood, if I may ask?

[ The answer to this question is important. ]

[omegathree]

Sardines.

If you're worried I'll drink human blood I've made a promise to somebody who isn't here. I can't drink human blood until I fulfill the terms of our agreement.

[forefall]

Fish...?

[ Well, that's certainly a choice. ]

What kind of agreement is it? If you don't mind my asking.

[omegathree]

I need to scare her before I can drink human blood again.

[forefall]

[ uh. ]

That's it?

[ i don't have an icon that encapsulates just how much four is side-eyeing val right now. ]

[omegathree]

As a demon my word is my bond. I will not break it. I've kept that promise for centuries and I won't let it lapse now.

[That's all it is.]

[forefall]

That's quite the long commitment. That's commendable. The circumstances leading to that deal must have been quite the tale.

[ Was he tricked? ]

[omegathree]

[No, he's just stupid.]

She was a very difficult woman to scare when she was alive.

[forefall]

[ She tilts her head. ]

If she is no longer around, then does that mean you'll indefinitely drink only fish blood?

[omegathree]

[Well she's not really dead. Or rather she is and she's still around at home but...

Hm.]

Yes, that's correct.

[forefall]

That may be for the best. Unless you think differently?

[ She can't read vampire dragon demon minds. ]

[omegathree]

I can't say I'm happy about it... but I won't break it either.

[It's not that he can't drink human blood- that's not the part he doesn't like. It's the other half of the promise that he couldn't keep- that's the part that weighs on his mind.]

I set the terms and as a proud an noble demon I'm bound to what I promise.

[forefall]

Proud and noble... I must admit, those aren't the usual words I hear when it comes to demons.

[ It's curious. ]

[omegathree]

How many demons have you met?

[forefall]

As far as I know, it's just you.

[ Demons and daemons are not exactly the same. ]

[omegathree]

I see.

What words did you associate with us if "proud" and "noble" weren't two of them.

[forefall]

People usually call them monstrous or evil.

[omegathree]

Those weren't incorrect terms for demons either.

[forefall]

Demons can be... all things. Is that what you're saying?

[omegathree]

Yes. There are noble demons and those that scoff at the notion of it.

[forefall]

Are demon politics a thing?

[omegathree]

Yes. There's a president that runs the corrupterment.

[forefall]

[ CORRUPTERMENT I LOVE THAT me personally

Four just. Deadeyes at that. ]

That name honestly doesn't inspire many feelings of nobility within me.

[omegathree]

[DISGAEA 4 IS GREAT]

The demon government must sound appropriately demonic. Otherwise how are any demons going to trust in them? Though dissenters are usually met with force.
