INTRO LOG
Week Zero

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.

Four's expression freezes for a second. It's. Hm. ]
If that's how you feel, then that... can be the case. What does it mean by spiritually styled?
no subject
[of course?????]
no subject
Four's expression is kind of blank and kind of puzzled. ]
I'm afraid I don't know who the four great spirits are. If you'd care to explain it to me...?
no subject
[?? ?????? ??????]
Shall I tell you their names, their behaviors...?

[ How else is she supposed to make sense of what Milla just said. ]
no subject
They are a bunch of loud busybodies, who seem to spend more time fighting amongst themselves than getting any of my work done!
no subject
I'm sorry. Your work?
no subject
[so matter-of-fact]

[ we're missing some basic foundation level information here. ]

I also keep watch over the realm of humans, to ensure that a balance and harmony can be found between humans and spirits alike.
no subject
Oh? How is the balance and harmony between human and spirits where you're from? Is it good?
no subject
Of course, it could always be better. Sometimes, the knowledge that humanity passes down gets muddied, and they forget exactly what the rituals they are enacting mean. That is, the essence survives, but the original meaning behind it does not. In a way, that is both an issue—and the unique charm—of humans.
There will always be problems. But if we are all working together to find solutions to them, then I think both humans and spirits will continue to thrive.
