WEEKEND ZERO: MINGLE

[saturations]

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 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!

[squinting...]

Why would that be the case?

[dms]

Because everyone has different skills, you know? If you can't do something yourself, then maybe someone else can. Everyone can help out somehow!

[allomantic]

...We don't have to be friends to work together.

[dms]

Ahaha... you're right about that. I just think it could make things a little easier if we get along, but I know that won't work for everyone.

[ you win, vinny. ]

[allomantic]

[for a long moment, it seems like she doesn't know what to say to that, before she shrugs.]

Some of the others might agree.

[dms]

But you don't, huh? Then what do you think?

[allomantic]

I think it's unwise to trust anyone after showing up in a strange place unexpectedly.

[dms]

Mm, true that. Guess it's a little easier for me when I already have a friend here.

[allomantic]

[tilting her head]

You recognize someone?

[dms]

Yep! If you see a kid with purple hair, that's him. We're bros from the same troupe!

[allomantic]

The same troupe?

[dms]

Yep yep! Summer troupe, from Mankai Company. We're both members, so we do tons of stuff together.

Isn't there someone you know around here, too?

[allomantic]

[she's definitely thinking of a different kind of troupe and company, so she looks surprised.]

You're... admitting that very openly.

[she shakes her head at the question, and she doesn't sound upset as she answers:]

No. I'm alone.

[dms]

No reason not to!

Ohhh, no wonder you were running. You sure you don't want to get to know some of the people here? Won't it get lonely being by yourself?
