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!

Huh? [ Looking her over. Then he'll look at himself. Not that his clothes were colorful at the start, but they are definitely missing the red lines on the back and slight hue to the giraffe print flap. ] That's weird. Think it's some kind of joke someone is playing?

[ It's not the first time he woke up in a new place in new clothes thanks to someone's idea of amusement. ]

Yeah. Yeah, that's right. Maybe we can find more eyes to help.

[ Eyes attached to people in a normal way preferably.

He's hopping up to his feet. ]

It could be, though I can't imagine how they managed to pull it off...

[hey uhhhhh pan?

what the fuck is that outfit?]


But... ideally, yes. [onward they go! they'll probably get to the archways sooner or later, but for now it's wandering around this central area.] If we can find any locals who might be able to answer our questions, so much the better.

Maybe they knocked us really, really hard.

[ Or drugs.

He didn't pick it. ]


[ Onward! ] Hopefully they didn't make this place to look like this on purpose. It's a vibe, but not exactly a welcoming one.

[ It's creepy. ]

There would be some indication of that, I would think. If they knocked us in the heads, for example, I'd expect a headache and perhaps a bump or two. Are you experiencing any symptoms like that?

[a vibe, huh... well, he's not wrong there.]

This place doesn't look as though it's been cultivated in any way... if anything, I'd think it was neglected.

[the poor dead plants.]

[ Time to feel up his head for any bumps ]

Not any bumpier than usual. No headaches either. Guessing it's the same for you?

[ He'll walk to a bench to climb up it. Holding his hand over his eyes as if to block out the sunlight...which isn't even an issue here. ]

Doesn't that mean there aren't any people here?

None whatsoever.

[she watches him climb onto the bench. see anything up there, prompto?]

It might. But it could also mean that tending to this place simply isn't a priority for them.

[ Dead grass. Dead grass. A trash can! More dead grass... ]

Not a priority... [ Wait ] Uh. Maybe we should follow their lead and get out of here? There might be daemons or something worst lurking around here.

[ Hopping down from the bench ]
