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!

[November frowns. A sheltered or a secluded existence, this one. Well, probably none of his business, either way]

Regardless, you're here. You probably have the right attitude, keeping your guard up. But if you ever see anything strange I'd appreciate you inform me. I'm looking for the one responsible for us all being here, after all.

[In a way he has already decided Vin is not a threat...at least to the goal of finding answers]

...You think there's a person behind this?

[personal profile] thejkdefense 2022-02-12 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Without a doubt. Most likely more than one person.

Why do you think so?

[she doesn't necessarily disagree, but she's curious about his reasoning, too.]

Call it past experience. I have seen the sort of thing people with dark goals can do, and kidnapping people to throw them into a place like this is not above them.

[In fact such a thing would be pretty soft for most groups he has dealt with. The last one he investigated before coming here did a lot of bombings in embassies, presumably with deaths involved]

[thoughtfully:]

You lived a dangerous life.

I certainly have. [All Contractors do!] If it helps at all, anything resembling what I have seen in the past will be dealt with accordingly.

[He says that almost reassuringly]

[with curiosity in her voice:]

What have you seen in the past?

Some explosions, some bloodshed, some terrorists trying to fulfill their plans...it's a dangerous world out there.

[He shrugs]

I'm an insurance purveyor, evaluating the damage and shuffling bills around. It's as boring as it sounds, but the job means I see all that.

[Truthfully November isn't trying too hard with his fake job lie, really]
