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!

[9mon]

[One second and he was talking to a friend, the nest he's in some kind of monochrome world?! He gets up, looks around, confused and puzzled and-]

Uwaaaah?! Did I get isekai'd?! Just like in manga?!

Okay! I should definitely look around and see what's going on!

[He takes a step. And immediately falls to the ground?!]

[countermeasures]

[jiuqing only understands some of those words.

anyway, when he falls, she surges forward to try to catch and help steady him. hello?]

Are you hurt...?

[9mon]

Oh um...

[It doesn't look like he's injured? He doesn't seem to have a fever at first glance either.]

I think I'm just tired 's all.

[countermeasures]

[he's not flushed with fever, but being tired - coupled with however they ended up here - is still concerning, so jiuqing reaches up to check his forehead to see if he feels warm.]

Shall we find somewhere for you to rest, then?

[vedrskogul]

[ Crosses this in the middle of his way escaping everyone else.

And stops for one hot minute because on one hand, he doesn't want a part of this. On the other hand, this child has just collapsed... ]

[9mon]

[His breathing is somewhat heavy, though he doesn't seem like he's injured.]

[vedrskogul]

[ Well thank the Fury, the boy's only collapsed, not cracked his head open.

With thinly veiled reluctance: ]

Are you alive, boy? Need a chirugeon of some sort?

[georeject]

[uhhhhh

clarte will kneel down by him!!]

Are you all right?

[9mon]

Um...

[Is he???]

I'm just tired... 's all. Sorry to worry you...

[georeject]

No need to apologize. [hmmmm] Should we find somewhere for you to lie down, then? I can't imagine the ground is comfortable.

[thejkdefense]

What an interesting first move for your investigation.

[That doesn't sound even remotely sarcastic in November 11. Doesn't sound amused, either -- instead he manages to make it sound like he really believes Kumon just threw himself on the ground on purpose. November doesn't think that, really, but hey, he won't judge if someone's first move when taking a look around is examining the firmness of the ground.

He walks up and crouches to get closer to Kumon's level, not even offering a hand. Contractors are crafty. It'd be idiocy to make physical contact with anyone here -- given the abnormality of the situation it's likely one or more people here have some sort of ability that could harm others, after all]

What are your findings?

[9mon]

[He stays on the ground for a moment or two longer, before pulling himself up to sit.]

Um... the ground's really hard! Definitely nothing like a bed.

[If this stranger is going to ask then he should give some sort of report? Right? That's only polite?]

I don't recommend it!

[thejkdefense]

Good job.

[November nods sagely as if what Kumon said is the most valuable information ever]

Can you stand up? Sorry for not offering a hand -- I'm currently battling a bad case of arthritis.

[That's a complete lie, but hey, November judges that with this one an elaborate lie as for why he doesn't offer help to stand up won't be necessary. Something half-assed will do. What matters here is to not make contact with people who may be dangerous, he thinks. If Kumon catches onto that it's a lie November can just play it off as a bad joke, successfully hiding he has his guard up. That's his reasoning, yup]

[dms]

Kumopi?! You're here, too?

[ bro did you just faint oh no where's hyodle when you need him?! ]

You're okay, right?!

[ fever??????? ]

[9mon]

Kazu?!

[he's still on the ground and radiating !?!?! energy]

I'll be okay! I'm just tired.

[he also had a fever but shh.]

[highrisk]

[ damien just looks at this collapsed child for like way too long? ]

Uhhh. You okay, there?

[9mon]

[The kid ate shit, does he seem okay?]

Ummm... Uhuh. I'm just tired, 's all.

[chevaliered]

[ oh wow there he goes. ]

You, uh... feeling a little unsteady there?

[ he says to the guy who literally just ate shit. ]

[9mon]

[He like. Gives a thumbs up from the ground, but he can't quite make himself get up just yet.]

[pura]

Watch—!






[Oh. Too late. He's down. Farewell, sir.

Gazes at........ (unsure)]

... Are you okay?

[9mon]

Uuuh... I will be!

[He's not okay right now. But he can recover!]

[classmate]

[ ..................

ok well she's probably seen sasara do worse ]

Are you okay? [ She extends her hand out for him to take. ] Are you feeling dizzy? It may be due to vertigo -- you didn't happen to hit your head, did you... ?

[9mon]

[He does take her hand.]

Hmm... I don't think I hit my head. It's probably something like exhaustion? Maybe I didn't get enough rest last night...

[gogoghostpowers]

[ DID SOMEBODY SAY "UWAAAAH"? YOU RANG?

Anyway, Danny watches this from a few feet away and startles at first when he falls, but then has to stifle a laugh. Because, let's be real, that looked really silly. And for once, at least it's not Danny doing it.

Once he's reasonably sure he's not going to actually laugh if he talks, Danny approaches and kneels down to offer a hand. ]

You okay?

[9mon]

[Honestly he doesn't look like he's doing great, but he does manage to sit up.]

Umm... I've definitely been better.
