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.

[Swift Wind rears back on his hind legs to show off his wings to Toki.

He allows the petting, although he dodges getting touched on the horn.]


Yes, where I come from they can, no, absolutely not, and buddy, you should see me soarding through the skies.

[only



he's not quite able to, now. he kind of manages to hover, and the flapping of his wings sends dust and wind and a few stray bits of grass everywhere, but that's about it.]


...

That was anticlimactic.

[Rainbow wings! Toki is very impressed with them, until Swift Wind just kind of... levitates for a second and makes a little dust storm.]

It's still awesome! Oh!

[Something just occurred to him.]

You can fly, but you can't here!? I tried to open the gate with my powers and it didn't work! Not that they always work, but maybe something's keeping us from doing things! Because if you could fly, you could just... leave, right?

Yeah, exactly. I'd fly on out of here and leave this place behind.

[...]

Uh, no offense.

[personal profile] yokeye 2019-06-02 08:51 pm (UTC)(link)
I think most of us would~! Not that I know anybody really, so that could be wrong!

Well, since we're all stuck here for ... however long we're gonna be here for, what should I call you?

[Toki starts to bow, but really, he's a unicorn; do formalities even matter? He also stops short of giving his full name because someone's already alluded to how weird it sounds.]

I'm Toki~! Nice to meet you~!
