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!

lab!

[ktiseos]

Surely you do not expect there to be much of real use, in a place such as this.

[hello there is also a very large man here, looking the lab over in a highly critical manner, his brow furrowed beneath his hood. it looks sort of like he tried to cover his face, but... everyone has to look up at him from such an angle that it actually hides nothing.]

[decisions]

[ what the fuck who is this enormous man just walking in here. percy blinks a little and looks up into the hood. yeah it's not doing him any favors in terms of hiding his face so, sorry.

he shrugs. the notes in his hand crumble in a timely fashion and he dusts his fingers off as he speaks. ]

And what, let what can be salvaged sit here and rot? Better to take what we can... it'll be more than what we had in the first place. We can toss what we don't need later if it proves useless.

[ktiseos]

In the absence of anything better, I do suppose one must make do...

[still. his nose wrinkles as he watches the paper crumble.]

But it seems you would be lucky to find anything that will prove useful enough.

[decisions]

I've found a few... odd chemicals here or there in vials. If someone lived here, worked here, then perhaps it could prove useful.

[ bye bye paper ]

But you're right, this place otherwise is barren. I just wonder if maybe there's something left behind that has to do with all of this colorlessness.

Just do be careful that you don't knock into anything... you're rather tall.

[ktiseos]

Yes, yes, thank you, I had not yet noticed.

[a little grumpily. look, it's weird that everyone else is so small and keeps insisting HE'S the weird one for it.

anyway, he glances back around the lab, peering critically at one or two of the smaller vials.]

If they can be identified, then mayhap you will prove right.

[please don't just experiment with unknown chemicals, though? please.]

[decisions]

[ wow, sensitive. just a vaguely sympathetic look that lasts half a second, there there.


as for the experimenting... he'll do it... responsibly... maybe. probably. ]

It might take us a while to get the proper equipment to do so, and it probably wouldn't do to test it on anyone here either of course...

[ktiseos]

It certainly would not. But methods may well present themselves; mayhap there are other ways in which they may be tested.

[on things like scrap materials here, maybe? at least they will not be missed if these are, say, acids.]

[decisions]

[ carries us away from captcha. ]
