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.

Exactly. [Prayer circle he learns to use his powers by then!!]

What are you going to do now?
tothemaxwell: (and i've met my match)

I will finish reading these, [the scrolls] and then examine the rest of our surroundings.

I don't want to be taken by surprise by something, just because I'm not aware of the lay of the land, or the rules of it. While we still have time, there's no excuse.
twinsightful: (CURIOUS ♜ Kill the cat)

[He can absolutely respect that.]

I'm going to look at our surroundings as well. If I see anything suspicious, I'll let you know.
tothemaxwell: (she's a bomb)

[personal profile] tothemaxwell 2019-06-02 10:57 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you. I will do the same for you.

Oh--

[She extends her hand.]

I'm sorry, I picked your name off your scroll before, instead of introducing myself formally. My name is Milla. Milla Maxwell.
twinsightful: (CUTE ♜ Not a single fuck was given)

[personal profile] twinsightful 2019-06-02 11:00 am (UTC)(link)
[...that's very polite and he looks a little startled by that, but he can at least return the gesture.]

Kaoru Hitachiin. [Western order, since that seems to be the common trend here. He also shakes her hand.] It's nice to meet you.

[And even after all of that he actually sounds as though he's sincere about that.]
tothemaxwell: (i'm a fuse)

[personal profile] tothemaxwell 2019-06-02 11:56 am (UTC)(link)
And yourself.

[She inclines her head, expression focused as ever.]

I can't help but feel something ominous about our situation. I think humans use the expression "waiting for the other boot to drop".
twinsightful: (UNSURE ♜ Eyes the size of the moon)

[personal profile] twinsightful 2019-06-02 03:19 pm (UTC)(link)
That's close enough. [His own expression is a little somber.] You probably aren't the only one. The whole thing is pretty suspicious no matter how you look at it.
tothemaxwell: (and i've met my match)

[personal profile] tothemaxwell 2019-06-03 02:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes. I can't see any positive reason to summon so many people, and disable them.
twinsightful: (ALERT ♜ Oh I see)

[personal profile] twinsightful 2019-06-03 03:46 pm (UTC)(link)
We may find out soon. Until then, all we can do is look around. [...and because she hasn't been a nuisance so far:] If I find anything useful, I'll let you know.
tothemaxwell: (she's a bomb)

[personal profile] tothemaxwell 2019-06-04 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
Good luck, Kaoru. I hope we see each other again soon.
