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!

a.) χ play despacito

[ It's a girl! Hello! She wakes up with mild confusion, brows curved as she takes the area in. ]

This... Did they --

[ No. No. This totally normal girl is in disbelief.

Standing, she nearly tumbles right back down to the ground due to how much her legs are shaking. But she almost appears surprised that she can stand at all. ]

χ? χ!?

[ A brief pause before she sighs. ]

This can't be outside of Redo... I must be dreaming again.

b.) clown town (but horror)

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!

[ Sorry if you're having a nice time just strolling around the area, Marie's just screaming the second she recognizes that there's bloodstains on the carousel. ]

It's not real, right!? [ Sorry if you're within arms length because she's going to grip onto you for dear life! ] I-It must be for decoration... ?

c.) you may or may not get to hold hands with her option idk

[ She hates it here. There's too many spooky things.

So yeah, you may come across some sounds of sniffling in the mansion and -- surprisingly -- it's not just ominous noise. No! Marie's crying! But the moment you happen to walk into the same room as her she's quickly regaining her composure, wiping her eyes with her palm. ]

I'm sorry. There's just so much dust.

d.) wildcard

[ bends over the kitchen counter how do you want me?? ]

clown town population us

[decisions]

[ there's bloodstains on him too! oof! ]

I wouldn't be surprised if it was real considering how abandoned the entire place looks. [ flatly: ] Maybe there's even a demon right around the corner... we should go check.

[ percy???? ]

[classmate]

[ WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY ]

No we shouldn't!? Demons don't exist!

[decisions]

[ deadly serious: ]

They most certainly do. Besides, we don't now what's in this place. There certainly could be some. Ghosts. Devils. I could go on.

[ his stomach growls loudly. ]

There's one right now.

[classmate]

They do not! You're just --

[ His stomach growling gets her to jump, heart nearly leaping out of her chest. ]

... A cruel, hangry man. I see.

[fleshedout]

...

[She just stares at her for a moment, before shaking her head.]

You don't have to apologize.

[classmate]

[ Ugh. ]

This is a very odd place, isn't it?

[fleshedout]

I would call it bizarre, yes.

[She tilts her head, considering.]

It doesn't feel like a "real" world to me.

[classmate]

[ That earns a raised brow. ]

I can agree with that. Though it... doesn't seem virtual, either, at least not what I'm used to.

b

[hasteful]

[oh that was such a scream - when he's gripped onto, he'll just rest a hand lightly on her shoulder]

Nothing can hurt you here - do you want to leave?

[look he can't confirm or deny the bloodstains but he can at least try to like. escort her away]

[classmate]

[ Something inside her screams with being touched, instantly drawing back. ]

If I just left then I wouldn't be of much help with inspecting the area, would I?

...

[ But she's also frozen in place. Fuck. ]

Can I hold onto your sleeve... ?

[hasteful]

[aw - he looks surprised for a moment when she pulls back, before settling on understanding

he'll unfurl his left sleeve since they were originally rolled up, and offer his elbow out to her so she has more room to hold onto him as much or as little as she'd like]

Sure. Let's go together.

[classmate]

[ SIGHS ]

Thank you... I'm sorry if this is an inconvenience.

b

[highrisk]

[ uhhHHHH damien seems very unequipped to handle someone in distress or being held onto so he's just. standing here??? you know, like a normal person. ]

This whole place looks like a movie set, so. Sure. Maybe.

[classmate]

A movie set...

[ That explains why it's like a bunch of random areas all squished together.

And even if it's not true, Marie is going to just go with it to calm down. ]

I'm no good with horror stuff, though...

[highrisk]

Doubt most people are when it's not on a movie screen.

[ the most awkward of pats possible. on her shoulder. there there. ]

b WHO CALLED MARIE BABY GIRL

[nightchild]

[this is so great wow]

Mm, probably? I wouldn't look at it too closely if I were you.

[she can stand here right next to him]

[classmate]

What is that even supposed to mean... ?

[ IS IT REAL OR NOT... STOP PLAYING WITH HER HEART!!! ]

[nightchild]

You know -- out of sight, out of mind!

[time to start gently herding marie away from blood stained carousels]

You can't worry about something you're not thinking about. Works every time.

a

[disingenuous]

[ Roxana holds out a gloved hand, if Marie needs some more steadying. ]

Redo?

[classmate]

[ She'll take her hand briefly, ensuring she's able to stand on her own before letting go. ]

The world I was in before... this. [ She gestures with a wave of her hand. ]

[disingenuous]

[ There's a flicker of surprise. ]

Are you used to traveling worlds?

a i forgot to specify gomen

[blamed]

[ poor girl... vanille lets marie have a moment to get her bearings before approaching, hands folded behind her back. ]

Are your dreams always like this? That sounds kind of sad, to me...

[classmate]

[ well.









fuck! ]

Um... typically? No. Honestly this would be the first -- so no need to be sad.

[blamed]

Mm... maybe so, but something's still bothering you, isn't it?
