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.

[This is about the point people will notice a distinct difference between Sol and Lune and it's that Sol has little patience sometimes. ]

Listen. We aren't the ones who brought you here, we're just the ones acting on their behalf. You don't think we had things to be doing too?

[There's a tinge of anger and stress there but it's fine. ]

[unfriendliest]

[ who let kara talk to the one with the temper smh

he actually doesn't care what you or anyone else was doing before they came here, the hypocrite. he just cares that the head of the family he cares most about could be fighting the revisionists right now, without anyone there to protect him. and that is unacceptable. ]

Then tell them to send us back.

[ what little patience he has is fading fast. ]

[cyclists]

[Things that are bad: this!]

Like they'll listen! [...] We told them that we would help make things right here, but we didn't choose you ourselves. Don't you get it? The only way anyone can go back is when things are finished here.

[unfriendliest]

[ they're just going to keep making this worse aren't they.

unfortunately this means those sparks? are growing into little baby flames as ookurikara anger grows. that's bad, probably. ]

If you're so powerless, what's the point of even having you here?

[cyclists]

[They sure are. Those flames still aren't registering and Sol might just be outright ignoring them.]

Who said anything about being powerless?

[Oh. That is absolutely a challenge.]

[unfriendliest]

[ thanks! i hate this.

so does kara, actually, but he's not one to back down from such an obvious challenge. he doesn't say a word, just shifts his stance and.

draws his sword.

bring it. ]

[preowned]

[ you know sometimes you're having a good time chatting with your captors on a sunday evening and everything is going fine? you're still captured, but like, it's a chill day? and then you look slightly to your left and see

whatever this bullshit is

tsurumaru will suddenly be here, stepping at kara's side and placing a hand on his forearm. ]

Ookurikara.

[cyclists]

[tmw when your conversation goes so off the rails that you manage to pull from an entirely separate conversation to keep things from going sideways

because lune and tsuru are looking over at the same time, and lune will be similarly stepping to sol's side, placing a light hand atop the hood. a gentle weight, to both gather attention and ground]

Young one.

A time and place for all things.

[cyclists]

[Sol is 100% ready to throw down, shifting into a fighter's stance when Lune and also someone else show up. They learn the guy's name (Ookurikara) and they're about to reply when Lune speaks up. There's a weight on their head and suddenly the tension stops as they pause uncertainly.]

But...[...Lune, of course, is right, and while it's still frustrating they back down.] Whatever.

[They'll behave for now.]

[unfriendliest]

[ speak for yourself. there's a flare of anger when tsurumaru dares to interrupt. didn't he hear what sol said? fuck this guy! he's not done with sol, not by any means, but if both lune and tsuru are stepping in and he's backing down... fine.

FINE.

but he's not happy about it. he sheaths the sword with an annoyed sound and turns away.

and hey, congrats on still not noticing that he's on fire. but it's calming down, little by little, so there's that. ]

[cyclists]

[Have fun being on fire, Kara. Sol's going to continue ignoring it and watch him walk away.]
