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
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!

[ the cracked glasses sure are a look. this is like percy at his workshop levels of weird... ]
You got a little something on your face. [ ... ] Lack of something, really. [ gesturing... at his sunglasses area... ]

[May as well try to make himself look like he doesn't have a care in the world right now. Perhaps others would try to blend into the background, but then asking questions would make that far more difficult. Giving enough of an impression for others to be aware of his presence but dismiss him as largely irrelevant, perhaps even a little foolish, seems like the right, rational and calculated move to use right now.
It'll give him enough time to gather information and decide his course of action]

Not gonna begrudge a man his fashion. [ he can't really talk, actually, considering his usual wear and fine collection of cloaks so it's fine. still, if this dude is so attached to those, they're probably important - a fact to file away from later. ]
You alright, then? As relative as that can be right now.
no subject
Yes, I am. I'm currently alright and unharmed.
[Even though his clothes look pretty disheveled in a way that probably doesn't come from someone being a slob or careless about his personal appearance. November was in quite the situation before coming here, to say the least!]
