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 smiles]

I appreciate the thought, but I normally warm up after running a bit.

So you may be doing me a favor if you take my coat off my hands for some time.

[




hnnnn. ]


Fine. But only as doing a favor for your sweaty self.
hasteful: (➛ this thing was a shot in the dark)

[personal profile] hasteful 2022-02-12 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
I appreciate your generosity.

[just. sincerely!

he'll offer his nice non-sweaty jacket out to her]


I'll see if I can find any spare coats or blankets when I do my next round of scouting.
experimint: (pic#15423219)

[personal profile] experimint 2022-02-12 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
I thank you, kind sir.

[ she will take the allegedly non-sweaty jacket. ]

Have you found anything else yet?
hasteful: (➛ you keep it in your pocket)

[personal profile] hasteful 2022-02-12 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
[he shakes his head]

I'd like to say yes but... The scouting isn't come up with very much. Some edible items, but mostly just plenty of hauntings.
experimint: (pic#15423414)

[personal profile] experimint 2022-02-12 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, many hauntings...

It's def a witch.
hasteful: (➛ you look so beautiful in this light)

[personal profile] hasteful 2022-02-12 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
A witch!

[he believes her instantly]

What kind of witch?
experimint: (pic#15423335)

[personal profile] experimint 2022-02-12 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
Not sure. Annoying, probably. They all are.

[ it's said matter-of-factly. she gestures around them. ]

We'll probably have to punch them really hard. This seems to be some powerful stuff.
hasteful: (➛ please don't go away)

[personal profile] hasteful 2022-02-12 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
I've never met a witch.... You're quite the expert.

[he's just nodding and mentally taking notes (not really but like spiritually)]

I can manage some punching. Just point me where!
experimint: (pic#15423386)

[personal profile] experimint 2022-02-12 01:50 am (UTC)(link)
Not sure if I'm an expert, but I have tumbled with a few over the years.

[ hmmm. ]

Nothing to punch yet. We'll need to investigate further.
hasteful: (➛ you look so beautiful in this light)

[personal profile] hasteful 2022-02-12 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
And you've survived.... Are you a witch slayer?

[what's the lore]

I see, I see. Do you have any suggestions? I've tried to scout as far as I can - but I feel like I'm still missing something.
experimint: (pic#15423204)

[personal profile] experimint 2022-02-12 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
That's more Finn's thing, but I don't see him around, so I guess I'll do it.

[ where are you finn.... she's thinking of you ]

Missing what? A map?
hasteful: (➛ so you better run run runaway)

[personal profile] hasteful 2022-02-12 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
That's a start for certain - it'd be nice to know what the boundaries and landmarks are.

[but he shakes his head]

No... Just a sense that there's more to be found. It's hard to explain! It's just as hard to explain as why I get fatigued much faster looking for things here.
experimint: (pic#15423380)

[personal profile] experimint 2022-02-12 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
I wonder if this is the type of map that'll just unlock for us as we progress further?

[ hm..... ]

Or maybe there's a secret passage somewhere here.
hasteful: (➛ let 'em tear us apart)

[personal profile] hasteful 2022-02-12 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
.... what kind of map is that...

[help]

A secret passage would be interesting though! Hmmm, we'd have to be really thorough to find it.

[it's secret you dumb bitch]
experimint: (pic#15423367)

[personal profile] experimint 2022-02-12 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
You know, like a dungeon map or whatevs.

[ a nod. ]

It might be hidden under some trash or a bush. We'll have to have someone poke everything.
hasteful: (➛ ah what should i do)

[personal profile] hasteful 2022-02-12 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
Consider it done.

[he's going to be shoving his face into bushes all weekend]
experimint: (pic#15423289)

[personal profile] experimint 2022-02-12 03:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Heck yeah!

Oh, I'm Pri-- you can call me Bubblegum.
hasteful: (➛ run away baby)

[personal profile] hasteful 2022-02-12 05:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[



that's so many syllables]


I'm Buzen! It's nice to meet you, Bubble-san.
experimint: (pic#15423219)

[personal profile] experimint 2022-02-12 05:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Bubble-san...

[ bubble... san.....

she accepts this. ]


Have you spoken to anyone else here yet? I'm still making my way around.
hasteful: (➛ please don't go away)

[personal profile] hasteful 2022-02-12 05:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[he beams!

if she accepts it then no problem]


I have! There's more people here than I anticipated - I've counted a little under forty as I've looked around.
experimint: (pic#15423393)

[personal profile] experimint 2022-02-12 05:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Under forty, eh...

That's a pretty decent sized tea party. Know anyone?
hasteful: (➛ will end up alone)
