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.

Right. Well... In any case, I'm glad you've got your friends here.
leaberator: (that you only meant well?)

[personal profile] leaberator 2019-06-02 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[ for some reason, he looks a little embarrassed by that? ]

Ah-- thanks, I guess?
foodbin: (pic#13146197)

[personal profile] foodbin 2019-06-02 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[She pauses for a second.]

Did I say something wrong?
leaberator: (and i never learned how to read)

[personal profile] leaberator 2019-06-03 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
Nope. [ ... okay, he should probably expand on that ] Just-- not something I've ever... heard before?

[ god that just makes him sound sad? ]
foodbin: (pic#13146144)

[personal profile] foodbin 2019-06-03 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
...Wow. That is the saddest thing I've heard since I got here.

[But there's nothing mean spirited about her tone, somehow.]
leaberator: (how do you know what's good for me?)

[personal profile] leaberator 2019-06-03 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
[ he lifts a hand to his forehead ]

That's a little bit hurtful, I'm not gonna lie.
foodbin: (pic#13146195)

[personal profile] foodbin 2019-06-03 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
Well. Room for improvement, right?

[emma that's not any nicer--]

Maybe soon people will say they're happy for you at least once.
leaberator: (next to a bANANANA)

[personal profile] leaberator 2019-06-03 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
[ god he's trying not to laugh ]

You're really making me sound like some kinda sadsack now. People just don't say stuff like that, alright? Geesh.
foodbin: (pic#13146191)

[personal profile] foodbin 2019-06-03 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
[She laughs, waving a hand.]

Okay, okay, I'll lay off.
leaberator: (this is the dollar store)

[personal profile] leaberator 2019-06-03 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks. For sparing my ego.
foodbin: (pic#13146188)

[personal profile] foodbin 2019-06-03 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
Any time, pal. [...] Actually, I don't think I asked your name. I'm Emma.

[She could just look at his scroll, but that feels kind of rude, somehow.]
leaberator: (honey you've got a big storm comin')

[personal profile] leaberator 2019-06-03 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
It's Lea. Got it memorized?

[ oh no he said it ]
foodbin: (pic#13146137)

[personal profile] foodbin 2019-06-03 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
[A small laugh.]

It's not a hard one to remember. I might even spell it right.

[barista jokes......]
leaberator: (dad look it's the good kush)

[personal profile] leaberator 2019-06-03 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
Oh yeah? Spell it out for me, right now.

[ because it's just pronounced lee. ]
foodbin: (pic#13146257)

[personal profile] foodbin 2019-06-03 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
Okay, I'm gonna guess it has a weird spelling based on that...

[She pauses for a moment to think about it.]

L-E-I-G-H?
leaberator: (omg did you draw this? that is so good)

[personal profile] leaberator 2019-06-03 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
[ oh god, imagine that with an x in it. he bursts out into laughter ]</small. Wha-- not even close! That's way too complicated, what are you even saying? It's L-E-A, alright?
foodbin: (pic#13146187)

[personal profile] foodbin 2019-06-03 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
[When she laughs, it doesn't sound self conscious.]

You, sir, have clearly not seen how some people spell Michaela.
leaberator: (i sentence him to 10 years in prison)

[personal profile] leaberator 2019-06-03 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
[ my html you bitch ]

And I thought I knew people who's names were a mess to spell. L-E-I-G-H in Michaela? What, did they hate their kid?
foodbin: (pic#13146188)

[personal profile] foodbin 2019-06-03 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
You have to wonder sometimes, don't you? Thank god I got a normal name.
leaberator: (like 69 cents?)

[personal profile] leaberator 2019-06-03 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
Right? As far as spellings go, Emma's pretty hard to mess up.
