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!

How terrible. But you weren't brainwashed by her? Just caught in her world?
no subject
Initially I was. But then I started having dreams... and a few others, too, though we were the only ones who had them -- those who were brainwashed didn't even understand the concept of dreams.
no subject
[Nodding...]
You and the others were lucky, then. Or was it on purpose?
no subject
[ She then realizes something -- ]
I've been talking about where I'm from this entire time, it's a bit embarrassing... ! Where is it that you're from?
no subject
[SO SPECIFIC!!!]
no subject
I've basically been in the same place my entire life.
no subject
[A tilt of the head.]
Because of that virtual world? Or just in general?
no subject
fuck ]
In general.
I'm assuming none of the places you visited were like this?
no subject
Not at all, no. This place isn't like anything on Earth, as far as I'm aware.
no subject
Yeah... [ She sighs. ] Yeah. It's pretty awful.
no subject
It's a terrible place to be stuck in. Anyone would cry over that, especially when one might possibly not find a way back to where they belong.
no subject
I'm certain that we'll find a way home... we have to. I can only speak for myself, but surely everyone else have something they need to go back to.
no subject
[A curt nod.]
Of course. I certainly have things left unfinished. And you with that virtual world of yours...
no subject
Yes! I can't keep the people there waiting for long.
Ah, to think I was crying earlier... I feel so childish.
no subject
no subject
Well, she won't argue. Marie only sighs before nodding her head, gesturing to the bed beside her. ] This one isn't broken. The mattress is a little hard, though.
no subject
Ah, well, better a mattress than nothing. I've been sleeping on the ground for the last several weeks.
no subject
Then please, if you feel tired you should be the first to take it.
no subject
Hardly. I'm used to such things. There's more than just this bed, anyways. Take it.
no subject
But don't hesitate to tell anyone if you need anything, okay?
no subject
I don't need anything. [A beat.] By the way. What's your name?
no subject
no subject
[A beat.]
I'm Hot Pants.
