WEEK ONE: MINGLE 2

[saturations]

MINGLE

Wow... well then. Things certainly happened, didn't they? It seems as though things have calmed down once again in the Prism after the events of this weekend. You have lodging and food now, and while the area is still cold and monochrome in some places you've restored and gained access to four colorful spaces.

In the morning, everyone receives a text on their phones. Or, a picture with a text, actually.

BEHOLD

At the far end of the park in the central node, you'll hear the faint sound of rumbling as something new appears. Perhaps you wish to take a look?

For those of you feeling particularly daring, you are free to explore a bit further on your own.

Before you venture too far, though, make sure you take a moment to check out the booth in the lobby of the apartments. Seems like it's not broken anymore!

So much excitement for one day. Maybe take a moment to evaluate how you're feeling. Some of you might have gained or lost a color as time moved on. Not just that, though. Throughout the course of this week you will find yourself coming into the possession of a new talent that belongs to someone else. Other times, you'll find that you've lost your own talents and are unable to perform as expected. That's cumbersome, isn't it? Look on the bright side! Maybe you'll discover a new hobby this way.

Finally, as always, you may contact the residents at any time. They may even have something new for you to do.

Welcome to your week one mingle for chroma!

Things of note:
► This week's effect is talent loss/talent gain! You'll randomly over the week lose something you're very good at, and gain something you've never been able to do before. Go wild with this as long as you're not breaking things.
► Player location submissions are now open!
► moida submissions are also now open!
► More to come... keep your eyes and ears open.

[emojis cannot really be read, but the names of them are probably translated.]

[countermeasures]

at least there doesn't seem to be any avocado in the snacks here?

[saturations]

good
im sure other people like them
but pass

[countermeasures]

i'll keep that in mind

[no avocados for riff!]

[saturations]

[thanks, this is why they like her.]

r u playing too?
am i supposed to ask truth or dare?

[countermeasures]

oh!

yes, i'm playing

i'll pick truth too :)

[saturations]

k
hm
whats ur favorite person like?

[countermeasures]

[it takes a very long time for this message to come through because jiuqing is still not the world's fastest typist]

my favorite person... that would be my mother

she's warm and supportive and only wants what's best for me even though she doesn't always understand the choices i make

she's a very sweet person and very patient. she trusts people a little too much, though. it took her a really long time to tell when someone wasn't trustworthy

she put up with my father for FAR longer than she ought to have and she deserves much better than him. she deserves the whole world.

i'd do anything to keep her safe and happy.

[saturations]

[this is such a sweet answer they almost want to disappear into the void forever because this feels extremely personal. but they settle for blinking at her softly before there's a nod and they text back. i'm laughing that she could have just said this out loud, but it's fine.]

u sound rly close
and she sounds nice
ur lucky to have each other
no wonder shes ur favorite

[countermeasures]

[she could have but the rest of this conversation was in text she'd be self conscious about suddenly swapping to voice]

yes
i'm very lucky to have her

[she is trying very hard to not think about the fact that she doesn't know when she'll see her mother again]

[saturations]

...if u miss her
u could always write to her?
even if u cant send them
maybe thatll help

[they have some semblance of self-awareness that people really do miss their homes.]

[countermeasures]

it might

[wow this got sad fast. she sips at a drink.]

would you like to do another truth? or perhaps a dare this time?

[saturations]

[do they feel brave enough for a dare...they do feel like they owe her for making this sad.]

sure
dare me

[countermeasures]

[thinking... thinking...]

i dare you to come up with nicknames for three people here

[saturations]

that many huh
im not good with nicknames like bass but...

[...she will have to sit here for a while as they think.]

any three people?

[countermeasures]

any three people is fine, yes

[saturations]

miss summer
clartango
bassinator

[don't just steal other people's nicknames for other people riff. but she didn't specify and they are taking it!]

[countermeasures]

[the blatant plagiarism startles her into a laugh, and she speaks out loud instead of texting because she's surprised and amused.]

Well played, Riff.

[saturations]

[they are so proud of themselves.]

that totally counts right?

[countermeasures]

[oh. right. she remembers to text.]

i'd say it does! i never specified they had to be brand new nicknames

[saturations]

it was a good dare tho
...u know u can talk out loud any time right?
its ok

[countermeasures]

i don't mind messaging you like this though

[saturations]

either way
whatever is best for u is good
thats all

[countermeasures]

that's very considerate of you
thank you
