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. 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.

Near Houses

[ Akane is just leaving one of the houses, turning around to take careful note of which house it is so she'll remember later. She's tapping at a cell phone despite its cracked screen... ]

No signal...

[ She's frowning, until she notices your character nearby, then she quickly brightens, forcing a chipper smile! She turns off her phone and slips it into her hoodie pocket. ]

... I guess it's good to cleanse from technology sometimes, right?

Amphitheater

[ After exploring for a little, Akane is resting her feet, sitting in one of the audience seats. She's even got her shoes off, and they're sitting on the ground by her chair. ]

Is whoever brought us here going to put on shows? Or are we supposed to?

Wildcard

[ I'm probably open to whatever but if you want to check first, you can hit me up with ideas at clionidae or Clione # 7898 on disc. ]

[compendiem]

[ Minato pats his pockets, but there is no phone at all. It's not like he uses it much, anyways, forgetting about it until it rings in his pockets on the rare occasion. ]

...I guess. Do you think going somewhere higher would catch the signal?

[specialdog]

I think if it's not strong in the residential areas, height probably won't help... If there's an easy way to get on a roof or something, it's worth trying, but I wouldn't get your hopes up.

[compendiem]

Easy way...

[ Well. Climbing isn't ever easy, but it's still possible... even as high up as the rooftops are. ]

Maybe if I give you a boost, you'd be tall enough?

[ If. Minato can even shoulder that much weight, it's hard to tell. ]

[specialdog]

Ehh, I'm pretty heavy...

[ no she's not??? she's pretty petite aside from. her chest. she mulls it over for a moment, before shrugging. ]

But we can try it, if you want.

[compendiem]

[ Does he want to? Not really. But alright, he crouches down and looks over his shoulder for her to climb on. He's going to stand up really fast and she'll have like two seconds to try and find the signal before his legs will give. ]

[specialdog]

[ she does her best, but it's a no-go. as in, no signal up there, and also she immediately loses her balance because it's hard to stand on someone that moves quickly??? ]

Eek!

Amphitheater

[omegathree]

It's an odd touch. Are you a performer?

[specialdog]

[ She shakes her head. ]

No, not at all.

[ she wants to ask: with that outfit, are you?? But decides to be polite... ]

Maybe it's just here out of coincidence.

[omegathree]

[Don't be polite to him.]

I doubt that. It seems too large to have been a simple whim. There are enough houses here that two arrivals can live under one roof. That's a bit too deliberate that this just happens to be here.

[specialdog]

[ She's gotta! ]

It's hard to imagine them setting up this whole place just for one group of people.

But I guess you're right about the bed-count... How mysterious.

[omegathree]

[He doesn't deserve it.]

There's only one bed per two house for some reason.

[specialdog]

Some people will hae to sleep on the floor. That's too bad.

Amphitheater

[fujino]

[Fujino looks around the amphitheater before settling her gaze on Akane. Her head tilts at her question.]

I'm not an actor... Is anyone else here one?

[specialdog]

I think there were two people from those profiles that said they were good at acting... Maybe they'll put a show on for us?

[fujino]

Do you think it's that kind of acting though? Would the profiles be that specific??

[Fujino's was fairly vague after all and made no mention about her Mystic Eyes (thankfully)]

[specialdog]

Some of them are specific and some of them aren't... I guess I'm not sure, really.

[ Akane's profile is also on the vague side, hmm. ]

[fujino]

Still... The better question would be who wrote those and how... And why.

There are too many questions in the end really.

[specialdog]

It's tough just waiting around for answers, but I don't think we have a choice.

Amphiteater

[liversandhyenas]

If someone's waiting for me to do tricks for them then they will wait forever. I don't know any tricks.

[Although she almost kind of wants to see what kind of person would approach her and ask her to do something on that stage, hah]

[specialdog]

[ Ohhh, another interesting creature. ]

Me either. None that are good for performance pieces, anyway.

[liversandhyenas]

...we're not going to have to invent anything for performance pieces, will we? Because I have never been too creative.

[Her ears flop, like this is something she's actually kind of worried about. She doesn't like to make a fool of herself, and failing when the spotlight is on her would be a way for that to happen]

[specialdog]

I hope not.

But who knows? Maybe we're not even particularly meant to do anything.

[liversandhyenas]

So...this stage is for whoever lives here other than us? Or lived in here?

[Everything seems a little to well put together, for an abandoned village. She figures someone lived here until recently]

[specialdog]

I don't know, I don't have any answers.

I hadn't thought about people living here in the past, though.
