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!

[ tech thieves are definitely more important ]

Maybe that's the point? They don't want word getting out. Next they'll be getting rid of us one by one...

[dms]

Eh?! No way! Isn't that too intense?! It can't be anything that serious, can it?!

[brotograph]

We'll have to see one way or another. We should probably avoid any and all horror movie tropes though just to be sure.

[dms]

That means we've got to stick together, right? Everything always goes wrong when the group splits up!

[brotograph]

Definitely. Have to stick together, not watch any mysterious tapes, and don't read any books about summoning daemons out loud.

Maybe we shouldn't even mention daemons in the first place. Just in case.

[dms]

You just mentioned it twice! That's not gonna curse us, is it?!

[brotograph]

Whoops. [ Peeking around. ] Let's quickly knock on some of the wood here. That's how you unjinx it, right?

[ Just going to knock against the wood paneling ] Curse begone!

[dms]

Good thing there's plenty of that around here.

[ knock knock! ]

If it's not... you-know-what, maybe it's ghosts? This could totes pass for a haunted house.

my fingies are covered in super glue

[brotograph]

Maybe we should hit all the panels. Just knock all the bad away.

[ Also it's some kind of noise. ]

Uh. Ghosts? How do they deal with ghosts again?

PAN YOUR FINGIES?

[dms]

Ohhh, I like that idea! Can't be too careful, can we?

We need the Ghostb*sters for that, don't we? We have to call them! [ wait ] Ahhh, nooo, I don't have my phone! We could be in real trouble without them!

they are crusty with glue

[brotograph]

[ Crossing him arms as he thinks about it. Then he'll snap a finger. ]

Hey! What if we find some sheets to wear? If we look like ghosts then maybe they won't give a sheet about us.

slides you some soap??

[dms]

Camouflage! Great idea! A lot of them looked like they were in bad shape, but there have to be some we can use around here.

[brotograph]

Being in bad shape might be better as long as we're hidden enough.

[ Time to start checking rooms for sheets ]

Have to find the best ones that are just spooky enough.

[dms]

Oh, I didn't even think about that.

[ soooo smart! ]

Then we shouldn't have to look that far at all! But we'll need to cut holes in them so we can see... Do you have scissors on you?

[brotograph]

[ Time to pat himself and his many tundra pockets down. ]

Looks like I'm fresh out of scissors and anything else pointy. Maybe there's something we can use around here?

[dms]

Mm, and I don't have anything either... The closest thing I've seen is some broken glass.

[brotograph]

Looks like we're going the broke option. My gloves should be fine for handling the glass.

[ Unless they were swap up to inferior hand protection like Yam's Foamor ]

[dms]

So this is what it's like being a starving artist...

[ no ]

You're sure? We could probs use the sheets, too, and if they get more cut up then it'll just look more authentic!
