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!

He waits while Emet goes through all of that, mostly because Emet is intimidatingly tall and he doesn't want to interrupt the guy who already seems annoyed. Especially when he's so big.
But when he's questioned, Atsushi will answer nervously in a quiet voice. Hope your hearing is good, tall man.]
A-Atsushi Nakajima? Unless you mean, um, who I work for?
no subject
[very weird designation for a concept, though.]
But who you work for would be a start, yes.
no subject
Also me: wait no, this is a mistake Atsushi would make, it's fine.]
I'm, er, a human? Can't you tell by looking at me?
[He's kind of assuming humans are the default, because that's all there is in his world.]
I'm- I'm not so weird-looking that you can't tell I'm a human, right?
no subject
[the only one, really, but there's enough size difference from that one here to be a Problem.]
no subject
[Always look on the bright side of things?]
no subject
[it merits more study, at least.]
no subject
no subject
[he says, very grumpily.]
no subject
I'll try my best to throw in a few more surprises, then. What should I call you?
no subject
no subject
[Atsushi, trying to be respectful even if he doesn't know exactly what level of respect Emet-Selch deserves. He's hoping this isn't secretly the president of some alien race of tall people or something.]
