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!

[fleshedout]

No.

[Says Hot Pants, bluntly - she's staring at something glancing bck at her with a frown. These things are ugly!]

...Is any of it familiar to you?

[disingenuous]

[ closes the tab i just opened with your tl

Roxana shakes her head minutely. ]

I'm not a stranger to monstrous creatures, but none of them are these specific breeds. Even if they weren't modified, I don't think I'd recognize them.

[fleshedout]

[opens my pcs and pats them seductively]

You're no stranger to...creatures? [She aims a little incredulous look at the other for that.] What sorts of creatures are you used to?

[disingenuous]

[ how could i resist ]

... I wonder how this happened. There a few my family keeps. Do you know what a carantul is?

[fleshedout]

No. [Again, blunt.[ Doesn't ring a bell.

[disingenuous]

Yes, it seems we're not from the same place somehow.

[ She frowns. ]

Have you seen anyone you know?

[fleshedout]

Not at all, no.

[Just a lonely girl....lost from a JJBA world.............]

Have any idea how we got here?

[disingenuous]

If I knew, I would not still be here.

[ Said like a promise and a threat. ]

[fleshedout]

Hm.

[A very vague sort of smirk? Maybe?]

Same here. Guess you have something important to get back to?

[disingenuous]

I need to help my father with something.

[ It's very important. ]

Shall I ask if you have something you must return to, as well?

[fleshedout]

...I see.

[A clench of the fist at the side...and it relaxes.]

Yes, I do. I'm not the type to leave things unfinished.

[disingenuous]

No, you don't seem that type.

[ She glances at the fist. ]

Were you in the middle of some type of battle?

[fleshedout]

[Hot Pants looks down briefly at her top - she may have washed it as much as could, but there's still hints of bloodstains there.]

...Yes. I was.

[disingenuous]

[ Bloodstains are mildly concerning. Are her clothes in tact? ]

Were you winning?

[fleshedout]

[Some of it is torn!]

[...She just looks away at that.]

I had yet to see about that.

[disingenuous]

That's a shame. I think you're the type to go far.

[ Is she wrong? ]

[fleshedout]

...

[She raises an eyebrow.]

You don't know me. [...] But yes. I would think so.

[disingenuous]

I don't know you.

[ She won't deny that. ]

It's in the way you speak.

[fleshedout]

I see.

[She seems to muse over that for a moment.]

You seem like a strong lady, yourself.

[disingenuous]

It depends what you consider strong. One of my brothers thinks I'm nothing but a trophy for our family.

[fleshedout]

[Oh, she's scowling.]

Is that so. That's not his place to say such a thing, I'd think.

[disingenuous]

Thank you. [ She smiles. Hot Pants, you're a real one. ] He doesn't know how to use his words. It's one of his bigger problems.

[fleshedout]

[YOUR BROTHER SUCKS!!!!]

Eh, I could say that about a lot of people. Men, especially.

[disingenuous]

[ He sucks a lot. She won't disagree. ]

Most men like to think they're better than they actually are.

[fleshedout]

Its like everything just goes to their heads. It would be funny if it weren't frustrating.
