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!

Um—

[UHHHHHHHH well the good news is that while i don't know what fabric clarte's are made of, one of their multiple floppy sleeves looks less flammable so they're immediately going to try and use that end to smother the flames???? it's fine their clothes are already in rags what's more damage to them]

[slashay]

[THANKS CLARTE YOU'RE THE REAL MVP. Kashuu will remember this forever. Or like, forever but after he's done flipping his shit over everything going on here... After the fire has been smothered, he's immediately trying to peel the remains of his poor handskirt off.]

Ow—?! Ouch, ouch--!! It hurts?!

[WHY DOES HE SOUND SURPRISED.]

[georeject]

Y... es? Burns usually do! [HELLO?] Do you need help with that?

[slashay]

[HE'S PANICKING!!! And just kind of holding his little burnt hand with his other hand uselessly.]

Uh—!! Um - yeah?! I don't know how to r-...f... first aid.

[In his head, meanwhile: HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO REPAIR A BURN IF I DON'T EVEN HAVE MY SWORD ARUJI HELP.]

[georeject]

... Oh dear. Well, we should get some water on your hand first. Unfortunately, I don't think there's any running water around here, but we'll have to make do.

[COME ALONG]

[slashay]

I don't want my skin to fall off...

[QUIETLY BUT WITH FEELING. He'll just follow along like a stupid duckling after Clarte wherever they should lead.]

[georeject]

... Well, let's see what we can do.

[MAYBE DON'T STICK YOUR HAND IN FIRES IN THAT CASE KASHUU

but clarte will locate the water and put some in. some kind of container idk.]

Put your hand in this for now, while I try to decide what to do about bandages...

[they can rip some of their clothes? not exactly the most sterile option, though.]

[slashay]

[HE WON'T BE DOING THAT ANYMORE THAT'S FOR SURE. Especially when he finds out he won't be able to just magic his injuries away...

But nice he'll just dunk his little fingies into the water, wrinkling his nose.]

Now it stings... [What a whiny baby.] --Why does it need bandages?

[To keep the skin on????]

[georeject]

You'll have to put up with the pain, I'm afraid. [...] I'm not really a doctor, so I don't know the details... but we need to keep air away from the skin, I believe.

[slashay]

Oh... Well - I guess I could just use my other glove, then?

[IT'S CHIFFON, PEANUT. He tries so hard.]

--Um. Thanks, by the way... I'm not really used to this stuff. [Which he doesn't clarify at all before MOVING RIGHT ALONG.] My name's Kashuu! Kashuu Kiyomitsu. What's yours?

[georeject]

I think it needs to be clean, though... Then again, our situation doesn't really lend itself to optimal treatment.

[kashuu please]

Clarte. It's nice to meet you, Kashuu... although the circumstances could be better.

[slashay]

Yeah, tell me about it. How uncool...

[HE LOOKED LIKE SUCH AN IDIOT IN THIS MOMENT. IN FRONT OF SOMEONE SO PRETTY!!! Which he can now appreciate, since he's not in immediate danger of losing his fingies to the flames.]

--Anyway! I can probably use some of this... It's pretty clean. [He gestures to his entire fuckin frilly ruffly 3 layered idol outfit.] Bandaging it like you'd normally bandage a wound should be fine, right?

[georeject]

[kashuu........]

I think that should be fine. There is an actual doctor here, if you want to be sure.

[slashay]

[Don't judge him.]

Maybe I can double-check, yeah. What's their name?

[georeject]

[they would never]

Su Jiuqing. She's quite a nice girl. If you yelled in the center of this place that you needed a doctor, I'm sure she'd come rushing.

... But if you'd rather look for her, she's a young woman with long brown hair and green eyes.
