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!

[ SOS HYODLE WE NEED YOU ]

Whoa, whoa, hey! We don't have to do that right now! Probably. We've got to figure out what we're working with first, right?

Maybe we should just take a look around?

[9mon]

Uuuh... I guess so?

[Kazu's been acting for longer, so he will defer to him.]

Okay. Which way should we go?

[dms]

[ don't trust him with decisions?! mentally throws a dart ]

...Let's go this way!

[ to the mansion! ]

[9mon]

[He will follow along, but he is not letting go of Kazu's hand.]

... Is it just me or is this place really colorless?

[dms]

[ handholding ftw! ]

No, it totally is. It's so bizarre! I always thought that was just a filter thing, but maybe they really just make sets this way?

...Doesn't really explain our clothes, though.

[ HIS FAVORITE BLUE JACKET

HIS FASHION ]

[9mon]

That seems super extreme for Sakyo! It'd be a weird budget drain when he's super fussy about the costumes Yuki makes.

[dms]

For real! Though I could totally see Yukki going along with something like this for funsies, you know? Especially if it gets under Tenten's skin.

...Still weird, though. I don't think he'd go to this much effort to nail our usual clothes down.

[ something is Off but he doesn't want to upset kumopi... ]

[9mon]

[ok he's dumb, but he's not so dumb he doesn't think something is off here.]

Hmm... mmm...

[He's thinking so hard he's getting a headache.]

[dms]

[ he never said kumopi is dumb mira!!! ]

- Kumopi? You good?

[9mon]

[You're right! I did.]

I don't think Sakyo or Yuki would go this far... Plus this is a really weird set?

[dms]

[ please be nice to that boy ]

Ah... Probably not...

[ lowkey panic in the disco what do we do hyodle isn't here and neither is the director and that means kazu has to take care of kumopi and he's so bad at it already aaaaa ]

...Let's just stick together, okay? We'll figure it out.

[9mon]

[Oh no he doesn't want Kazu to panic?

So he looks at him for a moment before nodding. If they can both stay away from a panic induced breakdown that's the best, right?]

Yeah. We'll be okay.

[dms]

[ why couldn't they have yukki or sumi to be the pillars of calm huh why's it got to be the idiots who get swept up into whatever random mankai nonsense is going on ]

Yeah, for sure. It'll make a great story to tell everyone when we get back, you know? Oh - maybe we can act it out for them!

[ absolutely not ]

[9mon]

An isekai street act would be pretty fun!

[where is itaru he's an adultier adult...(he's not better)]

[dms]

Mm... Itaroon might be better at that one, but I'll give it my best shot!

[9mon]

Just make up something you think is super cool!! Like... You can be the wizard of creation!

[dms]

Ohhh, I like it! And I'm here to help you train to save the world, right?

[9mon]

Yeah, exactly! With your super powers of color and design.

[dms]

[ suddenly swapping to a very serious voice. he's in-character! ]

But my powers aren't strong enough all on their own! I need your help to restore color to this world, Kumopi!

[9mon]

O-of course! [He'll stumble his way into IC one way or another] I'm still new so- I dunno how much help I can give. Will you train me?

[dms]

[ he's so cuuuuute ]

Nope, I'm just here to let you know the fate of the world is on your shoulders. Byyyyyye!

[ beat ]

JK! I'll totally train you, no prob!

[9mon]

[Relieved laughing!]

Kazu! Okay, great, wise wizard! What should I do?

[dms]

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!

[9mon]

Um... Where should we start? The primary ones, right? So that's... red, yellow and blue! Hmm... Should we look for a lake?

[dms]

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.
