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!

[ COOL. he yelps directly in his face, scrambling away like a madman. ]

HELLO—!?

[ oh wow that was loud. ]

I was gonna ask how you’re doing, but I’d take a guess and say “jumpy and also not great”.

Oh, you're—a person.

[ not a ghost... or whatever else is out here in the dark. he looks infinitesimally calmer. ]

Well... yes! You startled me.

Sure am.

[ congratulations, naruhodo. you found a person. ]

Mm. You do seem kinda on edge.

[ guhhhh. embarrassing. he settles enough to look a bit exasperated. ]

This place isn't exactly easy on the nerves...

What are you doing here? [ (Besides scaring unsuspecting attorneys.) ]

[ heh. ]

Exploring. Trying to find anything important that might help us… creepy as some of these places are, it’s not gonna do us any good if we miss something because the place was spooking us out.

[ :/ ]

...My thoughts as well, though I haven't found much here. I was hoping since it looked a little like home, there might be something to find.

[ but this is not like any corner of japan he's been to. ]

[personal profile] chevaliered 2022-02-14 10:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh.

[ he looks around. ]

This common where you're from then? I'm more used to this kind of design being associated with Calvard than anywhere super familiar to me.

—Harvard? No, I'm from Japan.

[ he scoots away from the door with a loud puff of a sigh. ]

It's similar to the designs of our temples... but I don't think we're anywhere near our homes.

Cal. Calvard. I’ve never heard of Japan.

[ hmm. ]

You’re not wrong there. Weird that there are similarities though — or maybe it is just coincidence. Who knows.
