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.

["this is why he-"]
M- My friend and I- w- w- [hic] we were going s- somewhere together but he- [sniffle]
[really, he could have just gone with the basic reason they're all a little freaked out- the interdimensional kidnapping business. still, kazuaki's not smart enough to hide the things that are bothering him right now.]
I don't think... he was my friend at all... !!
no subject
Akane offers what she hopes is a sympathetic and understanding smile. ]
Did you have a fight?
no subject
He... he said I was a bother. He said birdies like me- wh-who just hung around complaining- [sniffle] -and getting in people's way...
I didn't want to get in anyone's way! I was okay h- having only one friend!
[aaaaand another wave of tears starts- there might be some bird snottiness too]
no subject
Maybe he was tired of having to look after you and needed a break, but that's no excuse to get mean. I don't think you need a friend like that when you can make better ones.
no subject
[he rubs his wing against his face, trying to wipe his tears but just sort of- rubbing them around.]
He was the only friend I had. [so it's hard to imagine that somebirdie like him could make better ones- he'd failed at that so many times, after all]
And- and he just-
no subject
no subject
[maybe you can make up with him, maybe it's your fault he did it in the first place, after all, he's the only friend you had and it's too painful to think that he might have never meant any of it]
[a very, very soft voice]
He killed me.
no subject
[ way too casual a response but okay akane ]

D- Do you really think so...?
no subject
no subject
Y- ... y-yeah! Yeah! This is a- a fresh start!
[or at least that's a CONVENIENT DELUSION!]
no subject
[ i mean they're all trapped here by who knows what for who knows why, but hey. if it cheers up the little birdo... ]
no subject
[oh wait]
-meeting people is still scary. I haven't done a self-introduction since high school! Uh, hm, how should I, My name i- is Kazuaki Nanaki, I'm a button quail, I like videos games and, um, writing... my favorite food is probably pizza...
no subject
no, uh, wait, let's be more supportive than that. Akane listens, leaning a liiiiittle bit closer as he gets quieter. ]
A little louder. Try again?
no subject
Ah. [.............................................]
M- M- My name is Kazuaki Nanaki. I'm a button quail wait, that's obvious, stupid-!
no subject
Don't stress.
no subject
My name is... Kazuaki Nanaki. I'm a button quail, I like- I like video games and, um, I write, a little, or I used to, and, um, I like pizza...
no subject
but Akane gives him a round of gentle applause. ]
Nice to meet you Nanaki-kun. I'm Akane Shinjou. I'm - also into video games. I like reading comics and watching TV, too. And my favorite food is... Tomatoes, I guess!
[ see, they've both introduced themselves! look how good you did! ]
no subject
Sh- Shijou-san. [he's nowhere near bold enough for a -chan] What games do you like...?
