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.

It is, isn't it? Thank you.

[ the curiosity is too much ]

... Is it a cat? Or something else? Are there cats on other planets?
nonbelligerent: (lies for you. 1-6)

[personal profile] nonbelligerent 2019-06-02 08:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[he laughs a little, silently.]

Yes, it's a cat.

[personal profile] specialdog 2019-06-02 08:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Then did cats come from Earth? Or did they come to Earth from another planet?

Oh, wait. I guess you wouldn't know. [ since he hadn't even heard of Earth... ]
nonbelligerent: (lies for you. 1-5)

[personal profile] nonbelligerent 2019-06-02 09:30 pm (UTC)(link)
You're right in that unfortunately, I have no idea.

[personal profile] specialdog 2019-06-02 09:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Do you have a pet cat, then?
nonbelligerent: (the return. 4-4)

[personal profile] nonbelligerent 2019-06-03 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
[he shakes his head!]

[personal profile] specialdog 2019-06-03 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
That's too bad, but I know how you feel. They don't allow pets at my apartment.
nonbelligerent: (lies for you. 12-1)

[personal profile] nonbelligerent 2019-06-03 03:16 am (UTC)(link)
Do you want one?
nonbelligerent: (the return. 4-5)

[personal profile] nonbelligerent 2019-06-03 05:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Is it lonely in your apartment?

[a pause, and then:]

My apologies if that was too personal of a question.

[personal profile] specialdog 2019-06-03 05:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[ she has to consider that question for a bit, but doesn't seem offended by it at least. ]

... No. I have a friend who keeps me company all the time.
nonbelligerent: (lies for you. 1-1)

[personal profile] nonbelligerent 2019-06-03 05:18 pm (UTC)(link)
They sound like a good friend, then. I'm glad.
specialdog: (pic#13190463)

[personal profile] specialdog 2019-06-03 05:21 pm (UTC)(link)
He's the best. He helps me do whatever I want!

What about you - what are your friends like?
nonbelligerent: (lies for you. 1-5)

[personal profile] nonbelligerent 2019-06-03 05:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[hm.]

One of them's rather grumpy and stoic, but he has a good heart underneath it all. He also has a daughter who's very willful and used to getting her own way, but sweet as well.

[personal profile] specialdog 2019-06-03 05:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Ehh, I know people like that, too.

I would say too bad they're not here, but maybe it's for the better. [ WHO KNOWS ]
nonbelligerent: (the night it rained fire. 19-3)

[personal profile] nonbelligerent 2019-06-03 05:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Probably for the better. I could see them causing up a stir.
specialdog: (pic#13190511)

[personal profile] specialdog 2019-06-03 05:48 pm (UTC)(link)
But maybe that's what we need right now!
