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!

[ awww, she's already relaxing! cutie! ]

Totally! So that means you must have committed the way out of here to memory, too, right? You're not lost, are you?

[ if he sounds a little hopeful it's

because he's lost too ]

[countermeasures]

I'm not lost, no.

[she's not sure she's committed the way out to memory, but she can make an attempt.]

I don't think I've been here long enough to be lost.

[dms]

[ not convinced but who is he to tell her otherwise! ]

That's the spirit! [ says kazu, deffo lost. ] How long before that kicks in, do you think? Bet we can find our way out before then!

[countermeasures]

That depends on how many turns we take, I think. But here's an idea...

[she pulls her sleeve to cover her hand so it won't smudge the mirror and puts her hand on it.]

This should help. The reflections are a little disorienting and it seems as though they sometimes make it appear that there are pathways that are really just glass - this way we can avoid walking into any of them.

[dms]

Ah, great idea! It's just like the labyrinth!

But I promise I wouldn't laugh even if you did walk into any of the mirrors.

[countermeasures]

...I can't really promise the same thing, so let's just avoid it!

[


at least she's honest about it?

anyway, onward!]

[dms]

Ahaha! Valid, though! At least you know I won't hold it against you.

[ ?? ]

What made you pick this one first, though? There's a ton of other places you could have gone instead.

[countermeasures]

Well... I heard laughter, so I followed it. I thought maybe I could find someone who's more familiar with this place.

But it stopped once I got inside...

[dms]

You too, huh? I haven't been able to find a single native yet! Wild, right? That's why I thought it could just be a movie set or something.

Too bad the place is abandoned, or we could totally have some fun around here, even without the natives.

[countermeasures]

[she shoots a doubtful look at the mirrors, clearly wondering what fun they could possibly have around here.]

It's strange. Sure, this place seems to be in an advanced state of disrepair, but if there was really no one here we wouldn't be hearing any voices at all, would we? So why won't they come out and speak with us?

[dms]

Hm... It could be that it's a recording? Haunted houses do that kind of thing all the time to help set the mood.

[countermeasures]

A recording...?

[she


does not know what that is.]

[dms]

Oh, you don't know? Wild. [ some people are really out of touch, huh? ] It's like someone's talking, but they aren't really there, and you can replay it as many times as you want. Like writing something down so you can reread it, but with audio!

[countermeasures]

do you ever plan to move stuff before the post hits captcha but then work kicks your ass and it hits captcha before you can
