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 [community profile] 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!

[Atsushi just going HHHHHHHH in his mind.]

There's a haunted carnival that might be slightly better.

[To the haunted carnival they gooo!

Fuck, it's haunted!
]

...

You know, I'm starting to wonder if whatever was at that last building is responsible for this.

You don't have to come up with a backstory...
moonlightbeast: (12)

[personal profile] moonlightbeast 2022-02-12 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not coming up with stuff! I'm a detective, I'm supposed to figure these things out.

[ the most skeptical of looks. what do you MEAN you're a detective, you're 10. ]
moonlightbeast: (75)

[personal profile] moonlightbeast 2022-02-12 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
-okay, fine, JUNIOR detective! But I've been at the job for a couple months now! And I'm not even the most-junior member!

They sound desperate for interns.

[He opens his mouth like he's going to argue.

But he doesn't argue, because he can't.
]

...

It's not as bad as you're making it sound, I promise.

[personal profile] highrisk 2022-02-12 04:43 am (UTC)(link)
Sure.

[ damien sort of. peeeers around a ride idly. ]

Solved any big cases, kid?
moonlightbeast: (91)

[personal profile] moonlightbeast 2022-02-12 04:59 am (UTC)(link)
Well...

[Here is where Atsushi's cripplingly low self-esteem is out to get him.]

...not by myself, no. But Dazai-san has been a big help in teaching me how to be a detective?

[ hm. he looks a little disappointed. ]

Is that so?
moonlightbeast: (227)

[personal profile] moonlightbeast 2022-02-12 01:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Why do I get the feeling your opinion of me suddenly dropped?

[That is said in a low voice to himself, but yeah he's right there it can be heard. But then he speaks louder.]

I'm only 18, they haven't exactly assigned cases to just me yet. But I've helped in big cases, yes.

Doing what? Bringing people coffee?

[Just. This look right here.]
