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!

[ktiseos]

(1- hello down there)

[well! someone is looking none too pleased about his sudden arrival here! someone is also fucking nine feet tall, so enjoy looking up, sorry about your neck. he takes a look around the area, scowls, and raises a hand, snapping his fingers.

...nothing happens. he tries it again, and still nothing; seems to focus, for a few moments, and comes out of that even more irritated than before.]

How in the world--

[then he looks down, a little more, and finally deigns to pay attention to everyone else who's been stuck here. what. you are all so small.]

And just what are you meant to be?

(2- not mad science just disappointed science)

[we're going to handle the 'i would like to yell at who's in charge here' in intros, probably. so! you may see him in other areas to glance over them as well, but he eventually ends up in the laboratory area, the hood of his robe now pulled up to sort of cover his face (except from your angle, it's probably not hiding anything.) he is not touching anything, just observing, arms folded as he looks the place over critically.]

Unacceptable conditions for research, frankly, even before its apparent abandonment. Is there nothing in this place that was created properly?

[daggering]

[ in the midst of snooping as vax does, hearing this person's critical, accented complaining feels so unbelievably familiar that he can't help but go check it out (just wait until he finds percy); however, turning the corner and seeing not a fantasy european twunk and instead a big giant man gets a ]

Whoa -

[ what the fuck this is trippy

anyway he's already shown his cards so: ] Not your usual digs, big guy? [ for so many reasons. ]

[ktiseos]

Hardly.

[as if he'd be caught dead working in this kind of facility??

he glances over at vax after he's spoken up, his hood still doing absolutely nothing to hide his face. listen, he made the attempt.]

Are they yours, then?

2!

[meteion]

[ someone may or may not be watching Emet-Selch from afar, doing her best to hide (it's going poorly, she can be seen so obviously. )

if he does look her way? she shrinks behind.. whatever she's using as cover. sssh, you see Nothing. ]

[ktiseos]

[she really is so obvious, she is bright blue and also he just saw her not that long ago? hello.

once he glances her way and spots her, though, there is no hiding. he's coming over there, brow furrowed.]

What in the world happened to you? I distinctly recall you being of a somewhat more substantial size.

[where is hermes what happened is he going to have to just bring her back small and let him fix it]

[moonlightbeast]

[Atsushi is almost exactly one meter shorter than Emet so this is pretty funny.

He waits while Emet goes through all of that, mostly because Emet is intimidatingly tall and he doesn't want to interrupt the guy who already seems annoyed. Especially when he's so big.

But when he's questioned, Atsushi will answer nervously in a quiet voice. Hope your hearing is good, tall man.]

A-Atsushi Nakajima? Unless you mean, um, who I work for?

[ktiseos]

I asked what, not who, unless that is indeed your species.

[very weird designation for a concept, though.]

But who you work for would be a start, yes.

1.

[chevaliered]

[






slowly

and pointedly

looks up. ]

I'll answer if you tell me what you ate as a child to grow that tall.

[ktiseos]

I haven't the faintest idea what you're talking about.

[his arms are folded, brow furrowed.]

I am a perfectly normal size, if on the taller end compared to most.

2

[dms]

Yeah? How would you improve it, big guy?

[ he's genuinely curious please tell him everything ]

[ktiseos]

By eliminating the entire thing and rebuilding it.

[yes it's That Bad.]

Preserving the specimens here first, mayhap, but they may well prove of no use.

1

[highrisk]

Augh, Jesus Christ!

[ ....... rude ]

[ktiseos]

And what, exactly, is a 'Jesus Christ'.

[explain yourself.]

1

[disestablishment]

[ He looks up and he barely ever has to? What is happening here. ]

... An Elezen, ser.

[ktiseos]

Hm. Not a concept with which I am familiar, but then your particular kind may be newly created. 'Tis strange that there are so many of you seemingly endowed with will and intelligence, however.

[hm. a pause. a correction of that last point:]

To a degree.

1

[theampirequeen]

I'm Marceline, the Vampire Queen.

[ she says this casually, looking completely unsurprised by emet being this tall. and then; ]

What about you? You're kinda short for a giant.

2

[bestaround]

[ Dryly: ]

Depends on what the research was for, not that I can tell.

1

[aitou]

[This isn't that weird tbh?]

I'm a human!

[this is a normal thing that normal humans say]

1!

[slashay]

[He's just looking up and up and up at this tallass mans hello... AND THEN HE LOOKS STARTLED BY THE QUESTION?!]

Uh. I'm, like, a human.

[ALSO SOMETHING A NORMAL HUMAN WOULD SAY.]

Why're you so tall? Are you a human?

1

[hasteful]

[i was told to go complete the trio of swords

which is why buzen is going to look up and just]

H.... Human...?

[DO HUMANS GET AS TALL AS THIS MAN? WAS THAT A REASONABLE ANSWER?]

And you...?

1

[fleshedout]

[.............]


[Just stares at him for a moment, and then points.]

The carnival is that way.

[NOT EVEN ANSWERING HIS QUESTION??]

1

[thejkdefense]

[This guy's height definitely hints something's up, November thinks. Hmmmmm...

Also that sure is a question]

I suppose I'm a human. Do I look like I could be something else?

[Are Contractors human? Some sure would say they aren't anymore, and some Contractors certainly consider themselves way above humans. November is fairly neutral on this regard, really]

1

[gogoghostpowers]

Me? What are you meant to be?

[ clearly you're the weird one here!! ]

1

[countermeasures]

[she stares up at him with her hands on her hips, looking a little offended.]

I'm a who, not a what.

1

[godcards]

[ looking up, because, really, how can anyone not immediately snap their attention to this giant. ]

...I'm afraid I don't understand the question?

[ don't make him have an existential crisis 2 comments in ]
