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!

First you must gather the colors from where they first appeared in this world, and then you'll learn to harness its power for yourself! Only then can we restore this world to the beautiful land it once was!

Um... Where should we start? The primary ones, right? So that's... red, yellow and blue! Hmm... Should we look for a lake?
dms: (super mr triangle)

[personal profile] dms 2022-02-12 09:46 pm (UTC)(link)
That's right! The primary colors are the building blocks of all other colors, you know!

A lake, a river, even a puddle - any water should do it if blue is what you're after.

Let's look for a river!

[Also maybe he can have a drink? He'd like a drink.]
dms: (like! adventure)

[personal profile] dms 2022-02-12 10:06 pm (UTC)(link)
River it is! You're the hero, amigo, so you get to lead the way!

[personal profile] 9mon 2022-02-12 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmmm....

[Which way... He'll just take a random portal and hope!




They are at the mansion.]


Eh? Portals?!
dms: ():)

[personal profile] dms 2022-02-12 11:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[ we don't question it ]

Hmmm... I don't think we'll find any rivers here.
9mon: (006)

[personal profile] 9mon 2022-02-12 11:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Since we're here, we should look around a little. Maybe there's some running water?

[No.]
dms: (journey of blooming)

[personal profile] dms 2022-02-13 06:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Mmmm, it's a mansion so there has to be! But it's in pretty bad shape... Maybe we have to fix it up? Like a side quest!

[ kazu only sort of knows what that means but he laughs anyway! it's cute! ]

What do you want to do, Kumopi? Want to give a shot? Hm, but we'd need tools, wouldn't we...?

I'm not super handy, but I can try!

[Where's Chikage in times like this]

Maybe there are some tools around?
dms: (birthday boy)

[ in his sage wizard of creation voice: ] You'll learn many new skills on your quest to save this world.

There was a lab, right? Maybe we could find something there if nothing's around here?
9mon: (112)

[personal profile] 9mon 2022-02-13 07:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah! We can check it out after.
dms: (heat up the floor)

[personal profile] dms 2022-02-13 07:57 pm (UTC)(link)
You got it, hero~!

So where do you think we should check out first?
9mon: (026)

[personal profile] 9mon 2022-02-13 08:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Uuuh... The kitchen maybe?
dms: (chef's kiss)

[personal profile] dms 2022-02-13 08:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Kitchen it is! It's probs just as messy as the rest of the place, but nothing we can't handle!
