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!

[hasteful]

Haha, you've already tested those things out yourself! How fast! I like it.

[buzen is just going to take candy from a stranger because he doesn't know any better than a baby]

I'm not familiar with... this.

[this spongey fluffy things he holds in his fingers for a few moments before popping it into his mouth




he makes a face]

Hm.

[georeject]

[...]

Is that a good or bad "hm"?

[hasteful]

It's not...

My favorite flavor....

[ . . . . ]

But after you went to the trouble to find it, I'll eat as much as my share!!

[georeject]

[they laugh a little.]

It's not exactly my favourite flavour either, don't worry.

[hasteful]

If it was, I'd be really impressed - though I do know someone who can tolerate extreme amounts of salt.

[he laughs]

Do you think we could find some sugar...? Or something to accompany it... If it's the only ration we have, people don't get to complain, but I'd still like to try to see what we can find...

[georeject]

We can try. I'm afraid I haven't seen anything like sugar around here...

[hasteful]

Hmm...

Sugar's something you can make right...? On a farm...

[stop trying to make this farming simulator]

[georeject]

We're not on a farm, though?

[hasteful]

I think anywhere can be a farm if you try hard enough.

[georeject]

In theory, yes... but depending on the state of the land, it might require supplies and resources from elsewhere, and it doesn't look as though that's an option here...

[anyway]

Well, that's putting the cart before the horse. Do either of us know how to make sugar?

[hasteful]

[oh]

Hmm.... A good point....

Ah, I wish one of my comrades was here - he was far better at farming.

[georeject]

Haha. I know a few people who would be much better at this sort of thing than me as well. Unfortunately, it looks like it's up to us.

[hasteful]

Hmm... If it's up to us, what do you recommend?

I haven't found as much from scouting as I'd like - but there's enough people here that it'd be nice if we could at least find a way to stay warm and rest some.

[georeject]

Well, I would not recommend putting your hand in the fire. That much I can say.

[hasteful]

[ . . . . ]

Someone did....?

[georeject]

I couldn't stop him in time.

[hasteful]

Mm, thank you for trying...

[ . . . ]

Is that person okay? Is their hand alright?

[georeject]

Well, I did my best to treat it, so he should be okay... hopefully.

[hasteful]

Oh!

[ . . . ]

How did you treat it?

[this seems important to know in the whole. human thing.]

[georeject]

Put his hand in water first... It's supposed to be running water, I think, but we don't have any around here.

[hasteful]

Ah, I see...

Without any - [he pauses, what's the word humans] - medics...? Around it might be best if we all work together as much as we can.

[there's doctors buzen simply has not realized]

[georeject]

Actually, I did meet someone who claimed to be a doctor, so there's that.

[hasteful]

Really?

Are they taking apprentices?

[georeject]

[this way]
