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!

Hell if I know. Test subjects?

[aitou]

[Frowns... he doesn't know what that means, but he doesn't think he likes it...]

Maybe they'll come tell us.

[highrisk]

I'm sure someone will show up to tell us something. Eventually.

Just a matter of whether or not it's the truth.

[aitou]

[you mean people would LIE? never]

Well, we'll figure it out. [They can't afford to not figure it out, so they might as well be confident about it!!]

[highrisk]

[ eugh, optimism. ]

Yeah, sure. Go team.

[aitou]

[oh!! this guy thinks they're a team now? great, he will keep this in mind.

I'm sorry damien.]

[highrisk]

[ he is oblivious to what he has done....... ]

... Got a name, kid?

[aitou]

Okuzawa.

[imagine if profiles don't come out until endgame and I have to remember to go by a stupid alias for two months]

[highrisk]

[ that would be so funny ]

Damien. Nice to meet you.

[ he says that like he's being sarcastic but that might just? be how he talks? ]

[aitou]

[He can be sarcastic if he wants because Yasusada will simply not perceive and respond genuinely anyway]

Let's work well together.

[highrisk]

[ you know what, he doesn't hate it. ]

'Course. The more the merrier, right?

[aitou]

[I, personally, have adopted Damien]

Right--at least for now. It's safer this way anyway.

[keep all the humans together where he can keep an eye on them]

[highrisk]

[ oh, bad choice. ]

People are pack animals, right? Or something.

[aitou]

[No it's totally fine

He looks particularly cheered by this sentiment, though?! Why.]

Right, exactly.

[highrisk]

[ he looks a little grossed out be his own words, honestly ]

[aitou]

[YOU'RE GONNA GET A GOOD GRADE IN FRIENDSHIP, DAMIEN]

By the way, are you missing anything?

[highrisk]

My apartment.

[aitou]

[...you know what that's a valid answer, that's on him]

Oh--no, I mean, like belongings! Like a sword, or--[what else do humans have]--a broom or something.

[sure]

[highrisk]

[ just. looking at him for a second because those sure were some guesses. ]

I dunno, my keys and wallet? My phone?

[aitou]

[THESE ARE TWO COMPLETELY NORMAL THINGS FOR A HUMAN TO HAVE

He nods, though, looking thoughtful!! He may or may not know what a wallet is but he has a very vague understanding of "phones". It's fine.]

I don't think I've met anyone who isn't missing something... they definitely had to be stolen, right?

[IT'S TOO WEIRD OTHERWISE]

[highrisk]

I dunno, I'm not positive I was holding them at the time. When they grabbed me.

What're you missing?

[aitou]

[it would've been really funny if you were like "Damien's home item is nothing. He gets nothing"

Also, probably predictably--]

My sword.

[highrisk]

Am I the only person who doesn't casually carry around a sword? Jesus.

[aitou]

[very sincerely]

Are you a civilian? That's okay too.

[highrisk]

Yeah.

So what does that make you?
