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!

i. mansion

[ i mean, what else does one do in these situations but find the nearest shitty broken couch and sprawl out across it dramatically. ]

Juuuust perfect. Not that there aren't worse places to be, but there are better places to be than some miserable void of color.

[ he might have just been complaining to himself, but he does tilt his head to look over to you. ]

Place your bets. What are the odds that it's all some social experiment gone fucked up but not wrong?

ii. laboratory

[ damien walks in to the laboratory. damien turns around and immediately walks OUT of the laboratory.

he does it so fast that he bumps right into anyone behind him. ]

Watch where you're going.

[ this was his fault??? ]

iii. clock

[ at some point, damien can be found squinting at the clock in the tree suspiciously. ]

Is this time travel? Is this a time travel thing? Christ, I hate this.

i

[furrier]

What?

[ garou being inside is ooc but sometimes u thirst for cr so here we are

He looks confused in Damien's direction. ]

You don't know why we're here?

[highrisk]

No one has opted to enlighten me, so no.

[furrier]

Are you an asshole?

ii

[moonlightbeast]

[Atsushi hadn't yet gone in and actually doesn't know what's inside, and he doesn't get a chance to look because Damien is bumping into him. He backs up against a wall or something to keep himself from falling over entirely.]

Ah- sorry?

[Atsushi why are you apologizing?]

Is it that bad in there?

[highrisk]

[ damien just ignores the apology that he asked for. ]

I don't know how bad it is, but that's nowhere I wanna be.

[moonlightbeast]

Nowhere you...eh?

[Atsushi will lean over to peek in the door.

And then he's promptly turning and following Damien.]

You're right, there's nowhere for anyone to be.

iii

[aitou]

It has to be, doesn't it?

[



WAIT SHIT]

--Uh, I mean, do you think so?

[smooth]

[highrisk]

[ ............. okay, SUSPICIOUS CHILD. ]

I wouldn't know. Not a time traveler.

[aitou]

[No idea what you're talking about! Nothing suspicious here!!!]

Right! Of course. Me too.

[...


nods emphatically]

[disestablishment]

[ damn sir you're tired. ]

... I can't say I'm familiar with social experiments of this scope. However, I do believe a purposeful powerful force must be the source of our summoning.

[highrisk]

Why are your ears like that.

[ DAMIEN NO ]

[disestablishment]

[ ... ]

I... Do not know how to answer. These ears have been with me since my nameday.

clock

[fleshedout]

[Looking over at him.]

...Time travel? What, do you think this is the past?

[highrisk]

What? Nah.

Maybe something more, like... In between?

[fleshedout]

Between?

[Weird choice of word, she thinks.]

Something not quite the present, then?

I

[thejkdefense]

I'd say it's likelier than it should be.

[Yeah it's possible that's what's going on here]

[highrisk]

[ sarcastically: ]

Yay.

[thejkdefense]

Are you not confident in your odds of surviving a messed up social experiment?

ii

[countermeasures]

Ah—

[she sees him turn and tries to sidestep, but he's so fast in his about-face that he still bumps into her. she frowns a little.]

I think you could stand to take your own advice. [...] Sir.

[highrisk]

Or you could back off and give me a little more space if you're going to walk behind me.

How's that?

i

[blamed]

What are we betting? I don't think there's very much for anyone to put on the line...

[highrisk]

Doesn't matter, I think we're all betting on the same side, anyway.

i.

[chevaliered]

[ ohh that’s some real bitching and complaining there. 10/10, very impressive. ]

If it’s some kind of experiment, I’d love to know how they pulled it off. Eryn’s pretty well protected and off the grid, that’s the whole point of it.

[highrisk]

Yeah, I was trying to stay, uh, off the grid too. But here we are.
