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
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!

The words I say about it won't change the situation.

I prefer action.
[too bad she has no idea what action to take here.]
no subject
[hmm. she glances around the hall of mirrors.]
Well - what do you say we finish up looking around here and then move on to see if there's anything useful we can find somewhere else?
no subject
Alright. [...] I don't think we'll find an answer among the mirrors.

And it is... even stranger here. I do not see the purpose of this.
[she's seen mansions and understands the concept of a temple, but a carnival is completely foreign to her.]

[ >T ]
no subject
Do you know what they would be, if they were working?
no subject
I've never seen anything like them. Someone else described them as "rides," though, and they do seem to be contained to just this area, so I assume they're for amusement of some kind.
no subject
[not really, but it's fine. after a moment:]
Where did you want to explore next?
no subject
[carnival stuff... not that she knows anything about it to start with.]
But we could also go back through the archway we came through and try another.
no subject
Would a place made for entertainment have any clues?
