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!

[ Dryly: ]

Depends on what the research was for, not that I can tell.

[ktiseos]

Nor can I, unless the point was to create... these malformed beings.

[a nod to the creatures in the tubes, with some distaste.]

No sense for it whatsoever.

[bestaround]

[ As Emet nods, 9S looks over as well. ]

None? I was wondering what they were supposed to be.

[ktiseos]

Some form of predator, mayhap, but certainly a strange one-- lacking in cohesiveness, at the least. People really must stop simply adding parts to distinguish their creations.

[bestaround]

[ A predator, huh. ]

So it's some kind of animal? What's the point of making them in a lab? I thought there were a lot of them out there already.

[ktiseos]

There are many in the world, yes, but there are ever improvements to be made, and new creatures to be created. The world would be something of a stagnant place, otherwise.

[bestaround]

... Weird, but all right. It's the first I've heard of people having a hand in what the fauna around them is.

[ktiseos]

'Tis a process with which most should be familiar... but it seems as if some here do not know my world itself, much less its workings.

[which has some troubling implications.]

[bestaround]

[ 9S folds his arms over his chest, a little defensively. ]

Of course I don't. It's not like I've ever been around humans before.

[ktiseos]

Nor have I, save for one. They are... odd creations, to be certain.

[bestaround]

You haven't?

[ He looks up, as if inspecting Emet closely. ]

So you're not...?

[ Okay, he's like... really, really tall, but 9S couldn't say whether that's abnormal or not. ]

[ktiseos]

I am not, no.

[faintly amused, there.]

Though it is somewhat refreshing to find one who does not insist that not being a human is strange.

[bestaround]

Why would I? I'm not one, either.

[ktiseos]

You do look similar to those who have insisted so. I was half-braced for it, really.

[bestaround]

Sounds like I'll have to take this as bit of a warning then, huh.
