chroma | 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

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!

[ Trying to remove a scowl from Estinien is like trying to remove claws from cats. He just looks at Marie like how dare you ask such a stupid question. ]

Are you?

[ He's one of those types... SIGHS. ]

No, and that's precisely why we should at least stay together.

You think it's wiser to stay together with a complete stranger, whose motivations are foreign to me?

[ Bitch please. ]

I can certainly handle myself.

Um...

[ He does make a point, but -- ]

Nidhogg -- you're looking for someone, correct? I don't have any motivations, truthfully, so I'll make my first helping you!

[ For the love of -- ]

It's the name of my spear. [ Harmless information, and yet he would not have given it freely. ] I believe anyone would be concerned to wake up in an unfamiliar place without a weapon.

And what makes you think I need extra help from a diminutive hyur girl?

[ WHY MARIE YOU'VE CHOSEN THE WORST PERSON. ]

[ SHE'S FUCKING TRYING!!! also the worst person isn't even here yet ]

Hyur? [ First and foremost. What the fuck. ] In case you fall in a pit, maybe...

Do you think me incapable of crawling out of a hole in the ground?

[ HUH. Also yeah, hyur. ]

Am I wrong? I don't see any pointed ears, hidden horns.

Anything could happen. It'd be less embarrassing than having to shout for help, at least.

[ But right off the bat she can tell this man would rather chew off an arm than ask for help. ]

... You're not a cosplayer?

[ Correct, unfortunately. He would have to come close to death before asking for help properly. ]

What is that?

[ Stop the second person who's accused him of being a cosplayer. He doesn't know what that is. ]

Someone who dresses up as a fictional character.

[ She blinks. ]

So your hair is naturally white? It's not a wig?

That sounds... stupid.

[ Hello. ]

'Tis a family trait, yes. My younger brother also had white hair.

[ Notes that had part. She won't pry... yet.

She's not at baby girl status. ]

Okay! I understand -- Nidhogg is your weapon and you're an... elf?

[ Well I suppose technically speaking he still has white hair. Maybe. ]

Elezen.

[ That's the only part he bothers correcting. ]

I'm sorry!

[ She bows her head. ]

Elezen! Okay...

And what should I call you? Unless you want to be referred to as Sir Elezen?

[ ??????? SIR ELF!!! HE IS A FREE ELF!!! ]

[ ?

Ugh... he supposes this is a new acquaintance now, whether he wants it or not. ]

Absolutely not. It's Estinien.

[ FREE ME OF THESE SIR/SERS. HE'D RATHER DIE. ]
