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.

If it were up to me? It wouldn't say anything at all. It's an invasion of privacy and if I have to be introduced, I'd rather do it myself than allow it to be done by an unknown party with questionable means of getting all this information.

[forefall]

[ Her posture straightens because she agrees? She absolutely agrees. Their privacy should not have been invaded. ]

All right. I won't look at your scroll right now. Please introduce yourself to me, and I will do the same.

[autocatalysis]

[ Hm.

Well, his own posture straightens as well, even though it already wasn't anywhere near slouched or casual or anything like that before. It's... the kind you'd expect of good breeding, actually, though he doesn't offer her a hand to shake and merely inclines his head formally instead. ]

Julius Will Kresnik. Pleasure to make your acquaintance, even if the circumstances may be somewhat unideal. Might I know who it is I am addressing?

[forefall]

[ It's fine. Midgard is upside down medieval fantasy Europe, but handshakes probably weren't part of a custom there? At least not for an Intoner. ]

I am Four. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance as well. I hope our time here together is peaceful for however long it lasts.

[autocatalysis]

[ Peaceful, huh. ]

I will hope the same, though remain diligent in case our circumstances are not so accommodating.

[ Because they all did get abducted for an unknown reason, after all. ]

[forefall]

Do you think we'll be attacked?

[ It's not like that hasn't been something she's thought about, but she wants to hear what other people think, too. ]

[autocatalysis]

I think it's too early to be making any assumptions about what to expect, good or bad. Better to have been proven too wary in retrospect rather than be blindsided by anything when it comes up.

[ Within a reasonable metric, but. Yeah. ]

[forefall]

[ ... That basically means you're expecting to be attacked, Julius. ]

It is always better to be prepared. It's hard to feel that way without access to more information.

[ Or anything else, really. ]

[autocatalysis]

[ will we break dw during a trial again though ]
