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.

Maybe it's a really messed up team building exercise. [A pause, as she looks at the list of powers.] You know, the kind with meteors and tsunamis, apparently!

[She runs a hand over her hair, sighing.]

Anyways... Assuming this isn't some bizarre dream, what have you wondered about them so far?

[autocatalysis]

Professionalism, disposition, what they actually want from all of us- the usual, I'd think. As for the tsunamis and meteors... Do you suppose two people with the same affinity might be able to cancel each other out, then?

[ or would there be double the meteor so we really do have rocks fall everyone dies. ]

[foodbin]

I don't know. I'd guess it would be double tsunami, double meteor in that situation, but who knows?

[A frown.]

Hopefully we can avoid even one of each. That'd be great.

[autocatalysis]

My faith in our odds isn't high. There's going to eventually be someone who's curious enough to experiment, if there isn't already.

[ a closed mouth sigh- so, a slightly heavier inhale and exhale. ]

It doesn't make sense. All this.

[foodbin]

Curious is a really generous word for someone who would get curious enough to experiment with something called rocks fall, everyone dies. But... That's assuming these for us, too.

[She crosses her arms, thoughtful.]

[autocatalysis]

You can't tell me that you wouldn't think someone might go 'oh, but maybe just a really small meteor would be fine, just a pebble'? Though your point about them possibly not being meant for us at all...

[ hmm. ]

[foodbin]

I haven't met anyone who would be that stupid. [...] Well, hopefully, I've only talked to most of them for a few minutes so far.

[But, hm.]

I'm not sure what else they could be for, but... It's not like they're giving us a lot of clues here.

[autocatalysis]

[ he really was just intending for her to elaborate on that thought- and she did, so.

evenly: ]

It's not all that reassuring when a great many of them seem somewhat disruptive, is it?

[ to say the least. ]

[foodbin]

Disruptive is one word for it.

[and this is before someone pulled a sword on an npc,,]

[autocatalysis]

[ countdown until the spirit of bad ideas bears rides again? ]
