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 [community profile] 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!

[ Crosses this in the middle of his way escaping everyone else.

And stops for one hot minute because on one hand, he doesn't want a part of this. On the other hand, this child has just collapsed...

[His breathing is somewhat heavy, though he doesn't seem like he's injured.]

[ Well thank the Fury, the boy's only collapsed, not cracked his head open.

With thinly veiled reluctance:
]

Are you alive, boy? Need a chirugeon of some sort?
9mon: (004)

[personal profile] 9mon 2022-02-11 11:29 pm (UTC)(link)
'm not dead! I'm definitely still alive!

[Please don't change that this soon.]

What's a chi-gone?

[ (Mira voice) I'm not ripe for the killing but once I am, feel free. ]

Sounds like you're more than well enough.

[ He doesn't even bother correcting on the fancy word for doctors they have because they can't just say doctor. With that, he just turns right around to leave. ]
9mon: (002)

[personal profile] 9mon 2022-02-11 11:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Eh? Maybe he's one of the quiet rival types...

[He's leaving so fast!

Kumon might be on the brink of exhaustion but, mostly to himself-]


An elf? So cool!!!

[personal profile] vedrskogul 2022-02-11 11:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[ What the fuck? What the fuck??? ]

It's elezen.

[ What the fuck is an elf? That's new. ]
9mon: (087)

[personal profile] 9mon 2022-02-11 11:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh! Sorry, I didn't know!

Elezen, then.

[Isn't it SUPER weird to call somebody "you, human, over there???"]

... Is that your name?
vedrskogul: ([035])

[personal profile] vedrskogul 2022-02-11 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
No, that's what I am.

[ You stupid whore. No I'm kidding we're nice in this game.

However he doesn't bother giving him his actual name.

[:<

Right, it's rude not to give his own name when he's asking for somebody else's, right? Right.]


I'm a human and my name's Kumon, what's yours?
vedrskogul: ([043])

[personal profile] vedrskogul 2022-02-11 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[ The fuck is a human. ]

...Estinien. From what star do you hail?
9mon: (013)

[personal profile] 9mon 2022-02-11 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Uwaa.... what star... how cool!

[nerd.]

I'm from Earth!
vedrskogul: ([037])

[personal profile] vedrskogul 2022-02-12 12:07 am (UTC)(link)
[ Well, that's foreign. ]

That's not more of the moon, is it?

[ Establishing that he met Clarte before Kumon right here. ]
9mon: (014)

[personal profile] 9mon 2022-02-12 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
The... moon? Is somebody from the moon here?!

No, Earth isn't part of the moon.
vedrskogul: ([054])

[personal profile] vedrskogul 2022-02-12 12:28 am (UTC)(link)
[ This just in, at this point in time he has not asked for Clarte's name so I have to go with the default assumption that he doesn't know it, which is probably true anyways. ]

Yes, erm... search for a winged man. Perhaps he'll be able to tell you all about the moon...

[ Just get out of here, small child. ]
9mon: (029)

[personal profile] 9mon 2022-02-12 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
Okay! I definitely will.

[Not right now though. He's exhausted right now and he doesn't seem totally willing to get up.]
vedrskogul: ([019])

[personal profile] vedrskogul 2022-02-12 12:40 am (UTC)(link)
[ Stares at him for a few seconds as if waiting to see if Kumon will get up. ]
9mon: (010)

[personal profile] 9mon 2022-02-12 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
[No? He's exhausted and can't get up on his own.]
vedrskogul: ([020])

[personal profile] vedrskogul 2022-02-12 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
[ Well he's established that Kumon is fine because he could speak and converse and even get excited about the moon. Therefore, Estinien decides that Kumon is choosing to stay on the floor.

He leaves.
