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!

[there's no response to the offer besides a light furrowing of her brows, but:]

You shouldn't have done that.

[she doesn't sound upset about that, more kind of puzzled. clarte please be careful with weird gray water.]

It was the only source of water I could find around here. It's best we know sooner than later if it's safe to drink.

[apparently clarte is fine with being the guinea pig]

[the puzzled expression on her face doesn't really fade upon hearing that, but she shrugs.]

Sooner rather than later... You think we'll be here long enough for it to be a problem otherwise?

No harm in preparing for it, at least. Besides, most living beings can't survive that long without water.

I guess.

[what part is she guessing about?? anyways.]

You'll tell anyone if you worsen?

Well, if it comes up...

[it's

not quite a yes]

It'd be better for the rest of us to know it's unsafe.

Of course. Don't worry, I'll let everyone know if that's the case.

...You seemed hesitant a moment ago.

Haha, did I? I suppose I just don't want to be a bother, but you're right. It'd be pointless if I didn't alert others.

[she gives him a bewildered look, absolutely not sure what to say to that for a moment. clarte your self preservation instincts...]

It would be foolish to stay silent for yourself, too.

[what's a self-preservation can you eat it]

That's kind of you to say.

[immediately embarrassed by this callout]

It's common sense.

[hehe]

I think common sense isn't always common.

[looks at him pointedly]

No, I suppose not.

[BE NICE]

... Heh. You wound me.

Hm.

[don't just hm

anyways.]

What is the mansion like?

Decrepit. Not a very good source of supplies, unfortunately.

[hmm...]

The nobles who lived there abandoned it?

Well, I really have no idea who lived in it. But it very much seems abandoned now.

[she gives him an odd look.]

Who else would live in a mansion?

I'm not much of an expert on housing.

Neither am I, but...

[shrugging!]

Do civilians live in mansions where you're from?

To be honest, I have no real memories of ever seeing a mansion, so I'm not equipped to speak on other cultures.

Not even seeing one?
