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!

Mmm, nothing of note. The tools are far too unfamiliar to me... all I've found are vials of a few unidentifiable chemicals. Could be of some use?

I figured I would at the very least try to test them later... [ he waves a hand ] somehow.

[countermeasures]

What sorts of things would you need to test them...?

[maybe they can gather some supplies from the other locations!!]

1/2

[decisions]

[ deadly serious: ] Test subjects.

2/2

[decisions]

[ and then he chuckles ]

But in all seriousness, we could probably see if it perhaps affects any of the living plants or... something. The color around us even. I mean, to have had a lab to this extent— [ where it's even beyond his knowledge? dang! ] Someone must have been up to something at least partially-related to all this.

[countermeasures]

[she probably shouldn't giggle at that, but the immediacy with which he says "test subjects" is pretty funny.]

Well, I'm a doctor, so if someone does agree to help you out like that, let me know. I can be on hand if anything goes wrong.

[but she nods, glancing around at the lab again.]

It's probably better to test it on inanimate objects first, though, you're right. I don't suppose whoever owns this place has left any instruction on how to use the equipment?

[decisions]

Will do, good doctor.

[ oh good, someone with a sense of humor. he sighs a bit at the lab in its entirety ]

Most of the notes or anything that could resemble them just... crumbles to dust, or is simply too old to read. It's rather sad, to see all this research go to waste when clearly someone was up to something.

[ he leans against one of the tables ] Well, if we're to get this experiment up and running, I should probably call you more than just "Doctor." A name, perhaps to add to it?

[countermeasures]

That really is a waste...

[does she know much about the type of science in this lab? nope! but she likes learning new things, so it's a shame it can't be read.

oh.

she smiles, though.]

Su Jiuqing, but you can call me "Doctor Su". And you are?

1/2

[decisions]

[ exactly! it's that kind of spirit that can flip a situation, okay? ]

Doctor Su it is. [ she's so pleasant, this is refreshing! wow! ] I'm Percival Fredrickstein Von Musel Klossowski de Rolo III...

2/2

[decisions]

But you can just call me Percy.

It's a pleasure to meet you. Always good to have a doctor around in this place... you're the second I've met, in fact. We're lucky.

[ laughs nervously ]

[countermeasures]

[that is a very long name! she murmurs it to herself to try and help commit it to memory, but then he's letting her use a nickname. hmm.]

Well, I can certainly call you that if that's your preference, but I don't mind using your full name or addressing you by your surname, sir.

["sir de rolo" would probably be most polite but also: it's impolite to call someone something they don't want to be called.]

Oh, you've met another? That is lucky - another pair of hands would be helpful, as long as they're a skilled doctor.

[decisions]

Percy's quite all right, Doctor. [ he nods as if to confirm just that. ]

As for the other physician, Dr. Chang Geng was his name. He was quite helpful... unless you're already acquainted?

[countermeasures]
