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.

[foodbin]

And I'm guessing you want us to help you find out more. How do we do that?

[cyclists]

Talking to each other and forming relationships with each other should help. If you guys start spreading out and doing research on what's happening here, it could give us all an idea where the instability's going and coming from.

[foodbin]

So... You can't give us any guidance on where we might start looking.

[cyclists]

Learn to use your powers first. The rest will be obvious when you start being in tune with that.

[Maybe.]

[foodbin]

[She frowns, but she moves off this line of questioning for now.]

Do you know how all of this got started? I'm assuming no, but...

[cyclists]

The heart of this universe is pretty new. It's easy to sway and easy to influence. Something...happened that allowed darkness to start changing things and making it unstable. Lune and I have been here trying to figure it out, but there has to be only one answer.

We aren't involved. So the answer has to come from you.

[foodbin]

And we can influence it without giving an answer just yet by making friends and using our powers...?

[cyclists]

What would your answer be if someone asked you what you would want to do with the core of the universe that changes everything you know?

[foodbin]

I think anyone decent would want to do whatever would keep everyone who lived in that universe safe.

[cyclists]

...whatever it takes?

[foodbin]

Wow, that's... strangely ominous. Thanks. Is there something you want to tell me about what it might take?

[cyclists]

It might be something you normally wouldn't do. That's all.

[foodbin]

[There's an almost amused sound as she exhales quickly, hands moving to her hips. It doesn't change the fact that her expression is Tired.]

Yeah, well. I've been doing a lot of that lately, funnily enough.

[cyclists]

[And that curious tone returns.]

Like what?

[foodbin]

...How about this. If you're still around later, I'll tell you then.

[she doesn't want to give out her tragic backstory in public, probably]

[cyclists]

I don't think we're leaving anytime soon.
