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!

Hmm... well, I would think if it was a person, they would be doing more than just banging on the door.

I'd expect a "Help!" or a "Let me out!" or something along those lines...

Unless it was someone who could move their body, but not speak. Then banging on the door would be all they can do...

Well, perhaps...

[hmm.]

But even if they were, say, gagged... they'd be able to make some kind of noise, wouldn't they? Maybe they couldn't speak, but...

[it just seems strange to her that the only sound they're hearing is the banging. although it is promising, in a way; if it was some kind of dangerous animal they'd likely hear roaring or growling.]

Yes... If you were only gagged, you would still have your voice. But what about those who've lost their voice entirely, or never had one to begin with?

[Though, honestly, she would prefer it if it was something going feral behind that door and not a person.]

Well, I guess you can't really know what's behind a locked door. Still...

There are things we could try, then... "Knock twice if you can understand this," perhaps?
pura: (044)

[personal profile] pura 2022-02-12 09:55 pm (UTC)(link)
We might as well try. If it's a person, then hopefully they'll hear us.

[The banging is kind of noisy... But Nogiku will start to move towards that locked door, hewwo?]
