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!

Hahaha, are you feeling overworked too?

[though buzen hardly seems exhausted - he's been running around all over the place, sprinting like a madman, but the commentary has gotten him to stop for a bit]

What do you mean 'ability-user' though?

Just a little.

[He's not so exhausted that he can't move, but he is definitely Tired in his soul and wants a break in life.]

Someone who uses their ability? Kind of like, er, magic. Or superpowers I guess. Superpowers would be closer right?

[That last part is said to himself, but still audible.]

A... A superpower? Wow...

[that word means fucking nothing to buzen who is literally a sword spirit. i hate this]

Amazing! Do you think we're dealing with someone very powerful then?

Edited (2 'wow' 2 many) 2022-02-12 00:35 (UTC)

[I'm crying, Atsushi is taking all of this at face value.]

It's possible? Not all abilities are very strong, it matters more how someone uses them.

[Like lemon man.]

We did all get brought here so it has to be strong enough to move people. I know someone else who can do something similar, but her 'space' that she takes people to isn't as big as all of this.

Huh...

[ . . . he's currently very internally math lady meme-ing. trying to decide what he's supposed to say here.]

Where are you from again?

Yokohama.

[At least it's Japan?]

I don't think everyone here is Japanese though.

Oh - Yokohama!! Do you enjoy it there?

[please focus]

Of course! It's a beautiful city with lots of different people there. Every day is new and exciting, I couldn't imagine living anywhere else.

[I wish I were bullshitting but 'Yokohama' is literally on his canon list of likes.]

[cute.... buzen just beams at that, very happy to hear it for some reason]

Good, good! Ah, I'm glad to hear that... We'll have to get you home sooner than later, then.

I would like for everyone to get back home, honestly.

[Will he focus on the others before himself? Signs point to yes.]

[he laughs at that]

I think people should just get to do what they want - but I wouldn't be surprised if most people wanted to go back home.

This place is a bit strange, honestly.
