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 carnival?

[what the heck is a carnival. also hey wait a second]

It burns?

[KASHUU YOUR FINGIES i almost typed sakyou]

[slashay]

Yeah - the place with the rides and stuff. Have you seen it? It's got a lot of freaky things inside and you can hear kids crying...

[He dislikes that, thanks. ANYWAY SAKYOU IS HERE NOW I GUESS no but Kashuu looks exhausted at the question and holds his badly bandaged hand up.]

Yeah, it does.

[allomantic]

There are children crying?

[genuine concern... anyways she's looking with judgment at sakashuu's bandaged fingies.]

You put your hand in an open flame?

[slashay]

Just the sound, I'm pretty sure. No matter where you go it kinda sounds like it's coming from everywhere, and you don't get any closer.

[GHOSTS.

Anyway don't LOOK AT HIM WITH JUDGMENT. He holds his hand to his chest!!]

Well - yeah! Like, it was cold, so why would I think it'd be hot if I touched it?

[Can you believe this dumbass was just chastising her for picking up glass.]

[allomantic]

Oh.

[sad child crisis averted! AND MORE IMPORTANTLY]

Because it's a fire.

[slashay]

[WHEN YOU WANNA TELL SOMEONE YOU WERE BORN FROM FIRE SO YOU DIDN'T THINK IT'D BE A BIG DEAL BUT YOU ALSO ARE TRYING TO BE A NORMAL HUMAN ABOUT IT. He's just pouting now...]

I didn't think I was gonna hurt...

[For normal human reasons.]

--Well, whatever! At least I can tell everyone else not to get too close, since people'll probably let their guards down a little around a fire that doesn't feel hot.

[allomantic]

Do you think many other people are going to do that?

[vin be nice challenge]

[slashay]

[STOP ROASTING HIM HE ALREADY GOT BURNED.]

It could happen! [That doesn't answer the question at all.] Anyway!! I don't wanna hear that from someone touching all the stuff in an abandoned lab! Seriously, you should probably wash your hands...

[allomantic]

[she slips the tube into her pocket in front of god and kashuu.]

Why?

[slashay]

[THIS GIRL'S GONNA GIVE HIM GREY HAIRS.]

Okay, do you seriously not know what germs or toxic chemicals are? --Even setting that aside! You probably don't recognize any of the stuff in here either, right? Definitely assume everything in a lab can kill you!

[allomantic]

This is a lab?

[just moves past everything else he said]

[slashay]

[HIS GREY HAIRS VIN.]

[slashay]

[But he just sighs and then nods.]

That's my best guess, anyway. I'm not really a science kinda guy, though, so I don't know what most of this stuff's supposed to be used for. But labs are usually medical places where people study diseases and, like... physical abnormalities and things like that.

[allomantic]

[glancing towards one of the creatures in the tubes.]

So these things are diseased?

[kashuu: i'm not really a science guy
vin: time to ask him questions about what science is occurring here]
