WEEKEND ZERO: MINGLE

GREETINGS


Unnerving. That may be the best word to describe how the vibes feel as your sight begins to clear and you find yourself on the ground. The air is chilly, and you don't see anything that may represent the sun or the moon for a sense of time. You look around expecting to find some sort of buildings, wildlife, or anything of use, but your immediate line of vision only shows a sprawling monochrome landscape.

Are you feeling adventurous? As you get to your feet, you have the opportunity to wander further and begin assessing the situation. You'll quickly find that the only thing on your person are the clothes on your back. Traveling will eventually lead you to a few areas, though none of them appear very promising either.

Don't stray too far, however. While there are few hints of plant life (nothing nourishing, nothing satisfying), you won't find much else. There's no food or running water; resources seem scarce. The further you go, the more you begin to feel colder and weaker. Your eyes begin to play tricks on you, and everything ahead of you looks unfocused and even more gray than before. An imminent sense of danger hangs above you...you can't quite pinpoint why, but your gut instinct says there's something else out there just lying beyond your reach.

Perhaps you'll have luck another day. For now, it seems as though your only option is to make use of the areas you do have access to and try to settle in. But don't worry, you aren't alone. There's 35 other people just waiting to see what you'll do next.




Welcome to your weekend zero intro to [community profile] chroma! While characters have access to the locations available, they do not have access to anything else including their home items. Please note that characters do not know what their primary color or complementary colors are as of yet, and IC profiles are not in-play at this time.

Things of note!

► You can find food (cotton candy, stale hot dog buns with no hot dogs, etc) in the carnival, but none of it is filling. It's monochrome, and you're hungry again five minutes later.
► There's water in the mansion but it's kind of grey.
► Seriously, it's cold.
► You arrive in your canon outfit. It is also monochrome, like someone drained the dye out of your clothes.

Stay tuned for more updates throughout the weekend, and happy settling!

[ he turns his head in the direction of the voice, squinting because his glasses are still in his hands. there's a little dark splotching on his face, a blood spatter as he gradually sits up with an "oof." what used to probably be a light-colored/white shirt is garishly spattered as well. ]

Oh, well then, pardon me, let me just pick myself up, yes?

[ he has left dark splotches on the bench as well. he just looks mildly miffed, but also somewhat understanding that he should probably. get up. it has been past 5 minutes definitely..... he's just been laying here. ]

What do you propose we do then?

[All that blood...wow, someone was in bloody trouble before coming here! Mood, Percy. Mood. The inside of November's clothes has a lot of blood too, but he hasn't noticed that yet]

Initiative is important. Anything that doesn't involve staying where I was left seems like a good idea, no?

[If anything is going to happen then hey, November doesn't want to make it easier for the kidnapper. Better get moving and gather as much information as possible!]

[ a curious raise of the brow. ]

I agree that initiative is important in a situation like this... but so is a short rest. Besides, that's barely an answer.

[ he seems a little amused, however, adjusts his coat and nods down the way, where in the distance there are a couple of arches. ]

If you're going to drag me off my bench, then you're volunteering to go with me through one of those.

Certainly. Safety in numbers.

[Smaller numbers! Because that way if Percy turns out to be an enemy he can just attack and kill him with ease. The more people are around, the more of a hassle things will turn out to be]

Since I have volutneered to assist you for the time being I suppose I should introduce myself. The name is Jack Simon.

Mister Simon... I see. Well, it's a pleasure, color or no.

[ same, honestly. percy would rather he only have to watch out for one person turning on him than a group of strangers for the moment at least. he pockets his hands and nods.

shall we go for a stroll? ]


My name is Percival Fredrickstein Von Musel Klossowski de Rolo III.

You may call me Percy.

[For a stroll indeed, let's go!]

Percival Fredrickstein Von Musel Klossowski de Rolo III, also known as Percy. Alright.

[He repeats it back with nary a blink. He memorized it, yeah. If Percy wants to be called Percy, he will, but truthfully the very long name amuses November.

He'll use it when referring to Percy when talking to other people, just for the laughs]
