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.

[nonbelligerent]

Yes, they do tend to be better at that than most.

[omegathree]

Are you familiar with more than just humans?

[nonbelligerent]

Well, a few.

[omegathree]

I only know a race of aliens intent on destroying the earth with the moon, angels, humans and demons.

[nonbelligerent]

Then we're on the same ground. Not those exact races, but roughly the amount.

[omegathree]

Four... I wonder if what brought us here is a fifth.

[nonbelligerent]

It's concerning. The universe was already complicated with that amount of races, never mind another one powerful enough to intrude on their jurisdiction.

[omegathree]

Their jurisdiction? Was one of them in charge of the others?

[nonbelligerent]

The Primeval Gods created the universe—and all the ones before it—as well as the other races that inhabit the current one.

But I suppose this means there are worlds outside their creation.

[omegathree]

... There's more than one God?

[nonbelligerent]

[he nods.]

My universe has the four Primeval Gods. There's also the natural and created gods below them, but they're technically another type of being, as the Primeval Gods are responsible for their birth as well.

[omegathree]

Where I'm from there is only one God along with something that was calling itself "God".

Do the four Primeval Gods work well together?

[nonbelligerent]

We just call the Primeval Gods by their respective name...

[hm.]

Some do, though it'd be a lie to say there isn't any conflict. But either way, most of them have been inactive lately.

[omegathree]

Inactive as in hands off or in some other way?

[nonbelligerent]

Most of them have disappeared and cannot be contacted. Only one of them is still around, as far as I know, and she's mostly hands off.

[omegathree]

They were available for contact before?

You really are from somewhere else.

[nonbelligerent]

I assume it's very different for you, then.

[omegathree]

Yes. For as long as I've been alive I haven't heard or seen God.

I believe it's the same for the angels I know.

[nonbelligerent]

I see. We don't converse with the Primeval Gods as often we do with our kind, but it wasn't entirely uncommon. One of them in particular liked to hang out with his non-god friends before he disappeared...

[omegathree]

How long have they been missing?

[nonbelligerent]

About twenty-three years. Not that long.

[omegathree]

That's a short time to go missing.

[nonbelligerent]

It is. Either way, as the overseers of the universe, I'm sure they have their reasons, and that we're still moving according to their plans.

[for better or for worse.]

[omegathree]

You trust them that much?

[nonbelligerent]

Those are merely facts. They have reasons for their actions, whether or not I agree with them, and as beings with the power of insight, manipulation has always been their forte.
