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!

[If this guy's not human, then maybe it's safe to let some of his PERFECT COVER slip...]

So are you some kinda oni? Or ogre? Your hair's really pretty, though! That's a nice color that you don't really see a whole lot, outside of on spirits.

Neither of those, no, though I am unfamiliar with 'oni'... nor would I say my hair color is particularly uncommon.

[don't compliment him, stop that... he brushes it off.]

And I am most certainly still alive.
slashay: (and the loud loud rain)

[He gives out compliments like it's going outta style, he can't be stopped.]

Huh... Still nice, though. But good, good! [THAT HE'S ALIVE??] You don't really look like what I'd expect from an oni or ogre, anyway. But you're still way tall! Are most of the people you know as tall as you are?

So they are-- it is all of you who seem small in comparison.

[for all that they keep insisting HE'S the weird one.]
slashay: (i was just so shy so shy)

[personal profile] slashay 2022-02-12 05:07 am (UTC)(link)
Wow... You must come from a land of giants.

[The people here all seem so normal to him!! Except this one singular 9 foot man, who is so very, very tall. And also probably the pink lady and the people with wings.]

What's your name, anyway? I'm Kashuu.

Emet-Selch, of the Convocation of Fourteen. Are you at all familiar?

[he has a suspicion the answer is No, but he still needs to check.]
slashay: (but you'll already be)

[personal profile] slashay 2022-02-12 05:32 am (UTC)(link)
[Yeah there's absolutely zero recognition in the curious little tilt of his head.]

Nope! Sounds pretty important, though. D'you deal with time stuff or something?

[Just, y'know. Out of passing and normal human curiosity.]

[personal profile] ktiseos 2022-02-12 05:55 am (UTC)(link)
I do not, no. The seat of Emet-Selch is the keeper of the aetherial realm-- the Underworld, in the common vernacular.
slashay: (camera click)

[personal profile] slashay 2022-02-12 07:00 am (UTC)(link)
Oh!

[JUST "OH". CASUALLY, AND NORMALLY, AND VERY HUMAN-LY.]

So you're closer to a god or something, then?
