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!

[Even though others seem to be clueless as well, perhaps someone will find something familiar enough? It's worth a try, he supposes!]
no subject
[ She lips are pressed into a thin line. ]
The last I remember I was in a hospital.
no subject
[He sounds concerned. November isn't one to care about others in general, but it's kind of alarming a potentially sick or injured person was brought to wherever this is]
no subject
[ She answers with a short nod. ]
I was only there due to a migraine... we thought it was a bug, but it was nothing serious.
no subject
[We're all lucky we can't die from hypothermia. Gotta keep everyone alive for the murders!]
no subject
[ That said... ]
Are you cold?
no subject
I am. It's alarming but I'll handle it later.
[Truthfully, even though he's used to the cold and to touching ice, this place is uncomfortably chilly for him too. He doesn't like that at all]
no subject
[ Cause people apparently are HMMMMM ]
I wonder if it's due to... everything else about this place.
no subject
[He's pulling that out of his ass, pretty much, don't make up nonsense, November]
no subject
It's possible. Though I was more thinking that... with the absence of color, maybe it causes the warmth to also fade?
no subject
[Sometimes seeing someone else give their own wild guesses encourages others to do the same too. November has been trying to do that with various people here, with mixed success, pretty much]
There's something else I'd like to ask, if you don't mind. Your clothes, were they always monochrome?
no subject
no subject
[He tugs at his own collar]
This was not a gray shirt. Either this place affects that we're wearing, taking away its color, or we have been dressed with clothes that come from here.
[The first one is far more alarming, in his opinion]
no subject
Why make the effort of creating clothes so identical to the ones we usually wear to the point we couldn't recognize a difference?
no subject
[Great, the option he'd have preferred it not to be looks likelier. Oh well. Note to himself: keep an eye on others to see if they're turning gray]
no subject
I guess all we can really do is question if it's this or that, but...
Maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to collect everyone's theories?
no subject
[or at least i hope that is how it works. i nick am not a charismatic person what am i doing with november 11 someone help]
no subject
Oh? Are you taking note of everything?
no subject
It's all in here.
[Yup, he's cramming everything into his head]
