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!

I should have known hell wouldn't have you as one of its denizens.

[Were it from anyone who isn't November that almost would come out as flirting, but instead with him it's more like a friendly comment. Still, he puts on a pair of very ruined glasses and shrugs]

What I said about having committed heinous acts was a joke, by the way. Truthfully I have no awareness of our location. Do you have any ideas?

[countermeasures]

No, none whatsoever.

[her smile fades a bit and is replaced by a more serious expression.]

I haven't the faintest idea of where we are, or even how we came to be here. It's no place I've ever seen before.

[thejkdefense]

[November looks around. No tracks of vehicles anywhere. Maybe they were all teleported here. Contracts who can teleport people do exist, he knows that so well]

Quite desolate, isn't it? The lack of color makes everything seem so alien.

[countermeasures]

I can't say I like it much...

[bring back their colors!!]

[thejkdefense]

Only a strange person would like this place or not feel wary about it at all.

[November may be treating everything with noteworthy calmness but he sure finds everything pretty concerning, no doubt! So yeah, definitely agreed, Jiuqing]

truly love gmail giving me the notif for the edit but not for the original comment

[countermeasures]

If we've come here, though... however concerning it may be, there must be an explanation for how we ended up in this place.

[she'd like to find out what it is.]

And I don't imagine we're going to find it by simply standing around and chatting. Would you like to take a look around with me, sir?

thanks gmail

[thejkdefense]

Of course. Jack Simon, at your service. Let's crack this predicament wide open.

[countermeasures]

Yes, let's. My name is Su Jiuqing. Despite the circumstances, it's nice to meet you, Sir Simon.

[thejkdefense]

I say the same. [He smiles] Lead the way, Su. I'm fine with following along.

[Apparently he went straight into first name basis. A little too over familiar but what else is new with this shameless man, he's calling everyone their first names]

[countermeasures]

[su is actually her family name but (gestures in chinese naming conventions and this canon) so he's unintentionally being polite, which i think is hilarious.]

All right. [onward! i rnged it and they're just going to pass through an archway.

or, well. jiuqing will pass through first and find herself in the back alleyway. how closely is he following? because if they don't go through at the exact same time it'll probably look pretty weird to him.]

[thejkdefense]

[oops

Definitely not following right behind her! So Jiuqing disappears into thin air. So this is how it's like to be on the other end of this interaction -- this is like the fifth time he encounters the arches for the first time. Thank goodness for roleplaying continuity being a myth]

Hello...?

[Strange! And a little worrying. He doesn't advance further. This is not good! Instead he looks at the arch carefully, trying to figure out what happened. Teleportation? Vaporization? Is she dead?]

[countermeasures]
