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!

Parley is as import as being on the field... But I've paid Ishgard years with my blade when I was merely a Temple Knight and would give Her more if must needs.
[ no, that isn't an answer about his preference. It's about DUTY, after all. ]
no subject
[Trying to imagine him in armor...]
A man of his country. I see. Duty before all. I can respect that.
no subject
[ HE IS TECHNICALLY IN ARMOR. It's just. Black and not as nice right now. ]
What of yourself? An adventurer?
[ He asks this fondly. ]
no subject
Ah. [Huh, that's...] Yeah. You could call me that, actually.
no subject
It covers many fields, but not always a sellsword. [ Hm. ] If you ever feel to tell any of your tales, I'd be honored to be an audience.
no subject
My tales? [Hm. She is a little taken aback, and blinks.] You're a big fan of adventure stories?
no subject
As it were, yes. I've had my share of traveling Coerthas when I was a Temple Knight, then to other city-states for official affairs, but none of that is comparable to traveling lands afar. Churning vistas above the clouds, colorful plains against the sea, lakes of salt...
The star—or should I say the universe—is vast. The thought gives me a slight pang of wanderlust, however I cannot abscond my duties. Until my responsibilities lighten, stories will be my indulgence.
no subject
Sucks that you're stuck where you are. You're the type of guy who would benefit from a good journey.
no subject
Mayhap some day.
