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!

Creepy-cute...

[he's thinking of matsui]

Haha!! That sounds fun! Though I think our surroundings are a bit more creepy than cute...

[dms]

Mm, they went pretty hard on the creepy for sure. And they didn't even give us any costumes!

[hasteful]

What would your preferred costume be?

[dms]

Mmmm... [ gotta put some thought into this one! ] I've already been a werewolf, and I don't think I could pull off a zombie without Azamin on makeup... but maybe a vampire? I'm def cute enough to do the eternal youth thing!

[hasteful]

[he's just laughing along, and nodding]

I like your confidence! I'd agree with that.

[deeply unclear if buzen knows what a vampire is but if it makes kazu happy]

It'd be nice if we could simply play dress up and scare only for fun.

[dms]

Hehe, thanks!

[ he worked hard for this okok ]

It would, right? So you do it for work, too? You an actor?

[hasteful]

[buzen, pretending to be a human: i mean kinda]

I go on stage every now and then if that's what you're asking! Though that's more singing and dancing.

[dms]

[ GASPS ]

Like an idol?! You're a celebrity?!

[hasteful]

Uh... Maybe one and not the other?

[IS HE A CELEBRITY? IS HE?]

[dms]

Eh? But you have fans, right? So that totally makes you a celebrity!

[hasteful]

Is that how it works? I admit I still don't know much about it...

But if I manage to entertain people, I think that's good!

[dms]

Right? You totally get it!

[ debatable but there's that confidence buzen likes so much! ]

It's the same for acting, you know? As long as the audience is having fun, that's all that matters! Ah, but idol shows sound a lot more fun than just plays... Your fans bring light sticks and stuff, right? Do they ask you to autograph things, too?

[hasteful]

[hE REALLY DOESN'T

but he's just going to laugh a little bit at that]

We don't get to stick around for very long to do things like that - but you're right that they bring, um, light sticks!

Are you more familiar with plays and acting then? Are you an actor?

[dms]

Uwaaah, it must be so fun to be on stage and see all of that, huh?

[ cool!!! he's a little jelly but it's totally not something he could do anyway, so all the more respect for his new buddy here!! ]

Got it in one! I'm with the Mankai Company on Veludo Way - part of the Summer Troupe!

[hasteful]

[help what do these things mean]

Amazing!!

If you put on a show, would I get to see?

[dms]

Absolutely! But if we did it here, we'd probs have to improv the whole thing since we don't have a script on hand. Luckily for you, ad libs are the Summer Troupe's specialty!

[hasteful]

[what does that mean]

Wow! That's impressive. I've never had to ad my libs before.

[no]

[dms]

Haha! It's not that hard once you get used to it. You just say the first thing that comes to mind - but try to make it funny, you know? It's way more fun for everyone that way!

[ don't just go with it? ]
