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!

...

[She's thoughtful over that, for a moment.]

I suppose it's paramount you get back to where you are needed, then.

[disestablishment]

I full appreciate the sentiment and return it. We all should be returned home, circumstances withstanding.

[ He genuinely doesn't think he should go before another. Anyway: ]

My name is Aymeric de Borel. It's a pleasure to meet you.

[fleshedout]

That's nice of you to say.

[And a curt nod.]

Hot Pants. A pleasure as well, I suppose.

[disestablishment]

[ ... ]

Do you prefer Lady Hot? Or Lady Pants.

[fleshedout]

...


[JUST STARES]

Call me whatever you want. I don't particularly care.

[disestablishment]

[ HE IS SERIOUS ABOUT THIS… ]

I shouldn’t presume that one or the other is the better form of address… Lady Hot Pants it is.

[fleshedout]

Sure. That's fine.

[she is very nonplussed]

[disestablishment]

If you ever change your mind, feel free to inform me.

[ as if one day she will be like yes i want to be called lady hot. ]

This has been all of the time I could ask of you and I thank you again. I'd offer an escort, but signs tell me you can handle yourself.

[ because yknow she was fighting before coming here? ]

[fleshedout]

[yeah she'll come up and shake aymeric like LADY! HOT! NOW]

...Yeah, I can handle myself. [A pause.] Can you? You seem...

[LOOKING UP AND DOWN AT HIM]

Willowy?

[disestablishment]

[ wow. okay. he isn't offended since he thinks that's true. ]

I am Lord Commander of my nation's militia. 'Twould be a disgrace on my station and homeland if I couldn't offer some reprisal.

[fleshedout]

Lord Commander? A military man?

[Huh! She'll nod with some respect at that.]

Are you the type to be more in the background or on the frontline, though?

[disestablishment]

[ A nod back. It is military. ]

Parley is as import as being on the field... But I've paid Ishgard years with my blade when I was merely a Temple Knight and would give Her more if must needs.

[ no, that isn't an answer about his preference. It's about DUTY, after all. ]

[fleshedout]

A knight?

[Trying to imagine him in armor...]

A man of his country. I see. Duty before all. I can respect that.

[disestablishment]

Once upon a time, yes.

[ HE IS TECHNICALLY IN ARMOR. It's just. Black and not as nice right now. ]

What of yourself? An adventurer?

[ He asks this fondly. ]

[fleshedout]

[yeah she's thinking like FULL medieval armor. imagines ears sticking out]

Ah. [Huh, that's...] Yeah. You could call me that, actually.

[disestablishment]

[ they have that too and there are armor ear pockets, like boob pockets. ]

It covers many fields, but not always a sellsword. [ Hm. ] If you ever feel to tell any of your tales, I'd be honored to be an audience.

[fleshedout]

[why say it like this]

My tales? [Hm. She is a little taken aback, and blinks.] You're a big fan of adventure stories?

[disestablishment]

[ because i think the armor ear pockets are stupid ]

As it were, yes. I've had my share of traveling Coerthas when I was a Temple Knight, then to other city-states for official affairs, but none of that is comparable to traveling lands afar. Churning vistas above the clouds, colorful plains against the sea, lakes of salt...

The star—or should I say the universe—is vast. The thought gives me a slight pang of wanderlust, however I cannot abscond my duties. Until my responsibilities lighten, stories will be my indulgence.

[fleshedout]

[She stares at him for a moment.]

Sucks that you're stuck where you are. You're the type of guy who would benefit from a good journey.

[disestablishment]

[ A laugh. ]

Mayhap some day.
