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.

[leaberator]

... I don't think I'll live that long, but noted.

[ he's immortal in people's memories and people's memories only ]

[omegathree]

Ah yes, humans do have shorter lifespans. Until you die, then.

[leaberator]

... You made it sound weird, man.

[omegathree]

Then don't break your promises.

[leaberator]

I won't, but you don't gotta word it like I'm about to croak at any minute.

[omegathree]

How long do you have to live? Isn't it something like 100 years these days? You have decades left.

[leaberator]

It's nice that someone thinks I'll die of old age, I guess.

[omegathree]

Would you rather I say your time is coming up?

You're sending mixed messages.

[leaberator]

Nah, like I said, it's nice, it's just-- not something I ever thought I'd hear anyone say?

[omegathree]

Is it because of the assassinations?

You still have the potential to live a long life.

[leaberator]

[ ... ]

Something like that? [ it's more because of all the dying. ] But thanks for the vote of confidence.

[omegathree]

Well, do your best to stay alive, lad.

[ Val looks 25 at most. ]

[leaberator]

[ it's a good thing axel read the profiles because that would've fucking floored him otherwise. still: ]

The name's Lea, actually. Got it memorized?

[ everyone of you who makes me do this is getting punched in disco ]

[omegathree]

I'll remember it, but that doesn't mean I'll use it.

[You did this to you.

How long will it take until Val actually uses somebody's name when he's taking directly to him? A mystery.]

[leaberator]

That's kinda rude, innit?

[ he says, but that's fine, no nickname can be worse than the ones xigbar gave them ]

[omegathree]

Perhaps. I may use your name in the future.

[ For now it's lad or absolutely nothing. ]

[leaberator]

I look forward to hearing that happen.

[omegathree]

We'll simply have to see what happens.

[ But Lea actually keeps his promises so he's got a leg up. ]
