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.

[specialdog]

No, but sharing it is a little...

[tothemaxwell]

Hmm? Oh!

[Understanding blossoms on her face. Of course! Gosh, a few months without being human, and everything makes no sense at all!]

Oh, no. As I am at the moment, I shouldn't need to sleep much, if at all.

[specialdog]

[ score!!!! ]

Really? That's lucky for me.

[tothemaxwell]

Ha ha, it certainly seems that way.

The bed is all yours... Akane, wasn't it?

[She didn't introduce herself

but Milla remembers.]

I am Milla Maxwell. I hope we'll get along.

[specialdog]

I get the bed all to myself, so I'm sure we will...!

[ is she joking? who knows ]

[tothemaxwell]

Ha ha, is that all it takes? Wonderful. I hope I can rely on you, then.

[specialdog]

Hmm. There is one more thing it'll take.

[ :) ]

Don't point a sword at me again.

[tothemaxwell]

A ceasefire? I see. I suppose as roommates, we can both agree not to attack each other, for the shared benefit of our co-habitation.

[specialdog]

Exactly. Let's get along well, okay?

[tothemaxwell]

[Milla extends a hand. Human greetings!]

Very well. Let us shake on our newfound agreement.

Together, we can defend our new home against anyone else.

[specialdog]

[ :) Akane shakes Milla's hand!

and afterwards, laughs. ]

Do you think it needs defending?

[tothemaxwell]

[She laughs lightly.]

Who can say? But I wouldn't want to be caught off-guard.

Perhaps we can train together. Do you fight?

[specialdog]

Not at all. I've never had to fight, before.

[tothemaxwell]

Really? In that case, I wouldn't want to drag you into anything you have no interest in as a civilian.

[specialdog]

This place could be dangerous, though... It's kind of scary, being so helpless...

[tothemaxwell]

And there's hardly a way for you to avoid it, should it be so.

[She nods, once, resolutely.]

In that case, I am more than happy to train you, as I once was. Are you content with using a sword?

[specialdog]

I can try... It'll have to be light, though. I'm not very strong. Or coordinated.

[tothemaxwell]

That shouldn't be an issue. We will start with a light, or short sword, and build up your strength and coordination as quickly as we are able.

Does that suit you?

[specialdog]

Sure....

But don't get mad if I'm a slow learner, okay?

[tothemaxwell]

I will not.

Everyone learns at their own pace. As long as your lack of skill or pace of learning does not hinder anyone but yourself, why should it matter?

[it's true but should she say it?????]
