chroma | WEEK ZERO: PIZZA PARTY

SURPRISE!

Sunday morning starts peacefully enough, until around noon, when alarms start going off on your phones informing you of a Pizza Party taking place in the Central Node. You can snooze the alarms at first, but they begin to get a little more insistent after a while if you aren't making progress heading down there. If you're being stubborn, you can probably hold out until right at 1 PM, when an archway opens right in front of you and pulls you in.

The central node is comfortable right now, with blankets laid out on the grass and boxes of pizza are set out. Cheese, Pepperoni, Hawaiian, Meat Lovers, Veggie, I could just keep writing types of pizza all day. A few boxes even contain very weird varieties of pizza, but if you give them a try, some of them might be good! Some are as terrible as you'd expect. Otherwise, the pizzas are all warm and delicious, and there's enough for everyone.

The Residents are all already here, waiting for you! Have a fun and cool day!

... Unless?

It would be worth trying, I think. [ he is not very optimistic about both of them returning, at the moment, but. ]

I have those salvaged bandages, still, if we need something to stem bleeding while the fastest run to the medbay. And clothes can be washed if we need more.

[ more to carry them, more to tend to them. although he's narrowing his eyes as he watches the scene. what... ]

We have plenty at our disposal. We simply have to be ready to use it.

[she's focusing on the fight as she speaks, and when she notices those green and pink cracks filtering through the darkness, she nudges chang geng to draw his attention to them.]

...look.

[ with bass' arrival, chang geng can do basic math to come up with a theory. after a flash of red, and the subsequent contribution of everybody else: ]

It's the other two.

[she's watching intently as everyone contributes their colors, wanting to see what effect it has]

...they're attempting to help.

[hopefully they're not, like, ONLY going to help riff. imagine if we just unload all our color powers on damien and kill him.]

[ ty is on the mod team, they're not going to just let cola die easily like that. ]

... they're attempting something. [ chang geng comes from a non-magic world so honestly he doesn't quite know what to parse from this, but he will just wait and see what happens. ]

[she has

never seen anything quite like steel before so uh. she's staring.]

What...

[He is also just staring.

... Cool....]

[Also staring....]

[cool..........................................]

[ 10/10, very cool. ]

[She's also breathing a sign of relief., muttering to herself when Steel appears.]

...I told them. I really did.

[ she is somewhere between "this is so cool!" and "this is actually horrifying!???"

but she is still staring. ]

[ yes, this is very impressive and in fact a lot? very badass. he's relieved that the fighting has been ended, and hopefully is about to stay that way.

chang geng does have one concern, though: ] If they're able to do feats like this, then what has the power to contain them long enough that things could devolve in such a way?
