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 [community profile] 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!

[He does now.

He also sure looks like he's pouting about that?!]


You'd think, right? This one should be really hard for me to miss! But it's like it just... poofed outta existence or something! I haven't been able to find it anywhere.

[ Well she's looking around, gotta be productive... ]

There was another person who had lost his weapon, too... it could be that they took them away from us?
slashay: (submissive restriction)

[She's more productive than he is in this moment... He's just looking stressed for a second, curling a stray strand of hair around his finger before he sighs, shakes his head and goes back to poking under all this nastyass furniture, himself.]

I guess, but I'd, like... [How does one say "I'd have noticed if they wholeass snatched my real body" while pretending to be human?? One does not.] ...I'm preeetty sure I would have noticed someone trying to take that. But I guess if this is some weird kidnapping thing, it's not like they'd want us all running around with weapons...

[ Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... ]

Technically speaking, I'm surprised that my body is the same... considering the world I was in before. I understand what you mean by being confused.
slashay: (every surface replaced)

[Thank god some of the people here are better at figuring out how to approach these things than swords are... He straightens up from looking under a broken cushioned chair, looking her way again.]

...Nosy question and all, but can I ask what you mean by that? Like - what was up with where you were before?

[personal profile] classmate 2022-02-12 07:15 am (UTC)(link)
To put it simply: I was in a world within my world, and there I was given a second body.

It's a bit confusing to explain unless you know about... video games?
slashay: (you are the desert breathing)

[personal profile] slashay 2022-02-12 07:58 am (UTC)(link)
I do, yeah. [A nod! Though he quickly adds:] Um - I haven't played 'em myself or anything, but I know what they are and how they work. So it'd kinda be like being stuck in a video game or movie or something?

[A real life isekai...]

[personal profile] classmate 2022-02-12 03:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes! [ She claps her hands together. ] Exactly like that!

[ He made this easy!!! Thank you!!! ]

But within the "video game" my body... isn't my body from real life. And I imagine leaving that world would mean having to get rid of the one I'm in now -- but I guess that's not the case? It's quite odd.
