chroma | 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!

I don't think anyone lives here. [ she's looking at her in the tree. ] Or in the tree?

[ she looks like she thinks it is hilarious to climb a tree. ]

[LISTEN HERE!!!!!!!!! She just makes a bit of a face.]

Well, this place is weird, so maybe someone lives in the tree.

Looks like you're the only one living in it now unless the clock's sentient.

[ a beat ]

Kinda small for a house though.

Hey! I'm not living in the tree!

[STOP don't just say the clock can be sentient!!!]

I was trying to find out if I could see anything else, but all that's here are arches...

Not living in the tree yet.

[ this is helping. also clocks can be sentient if they wanna be, damn? ]

Have you tried going through the arches yet? Maybe you'll see better from there than two feet up into a tree.

Not living in the tree ever.

[She looks down. IT ISN'T TWO FEET. It's at least three or more!! She makes a face.]

One of them. It just leads to another weird place.

I wouldn't knock a good treehouse. This one's just kinda too tiny for you. If you were smaller it might work.

[ this is helping. ]

Yeah, all of the places around here are weird. I don't think climbing a tree will make you find anything less weird. Or less grey.

There isn't even a house! This is just a tree!

[Why is it my turn to be Yamato exasperated here!]

I wasn't trying to make anything less weird or grey. I was just trying to see what was around, or if I saw Tatara and Mako-san!

You don't know. Maybe there's a super teeny house and you're disturbing it!

[ i used up all my exasperation skills now i am only troll ]

Ohhh, looking for your friends? It works way better if you yell out their names.

[Can’t believe this place is weird enough, and she is normie enough to fall for this.

Quickly, she lifts one leg a bit and hurriedly looks down under her LIKE THERE IS GOING TO BE SOME KIND OF NAVI HOUSE SHE JUST CRUSHED.]

I’m not going to just tell their names!

You totally just did though?

[ marcy points to a tiny tiny hole in the tree. teeny tiny. ]

Look! Tiny house space.

[i cant tell if my phone AC'd yell to tell or i just wrote tell in an early morning stupor, but it's fine]

That's not--

[STOP SCARING HER!! She steps away from the hole, but then glares at it, and then glares at Marcy.]

It doesn't work like that! You're just being contrary for no reason!

[ i blame your morning stupor because it's funnier. she laughs a little ]

Nah. There's tons of mini-people all over. Sometimes those guys need houses. [ she walks over and squints at the hole ] Sometimes they're just married bugs. Those are always funny.
