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!

You think they've got some kinda management office here where we can just dump stuff into their complaint box?

[Dryly. HR sucks even in the year 2205.]

[highrisk]

If they do, I'm sure it's just a shredder in disguise.

[slashay]

[A little snort of laughter. He feels like, .5% better now...]

Guess you really can't expect anything from the upper ranks these days, huh? Geez. I mean, the welcome wagon's already totally failed.

[highrisk]

Yeah, and now we're all just stuck with each other.

[ a buncha total randos... great... ]

[slashay]

At least there's more eyes to look around, this way. But from what I've heard, no one's really found anything...

[Nothing useful, at least. Plenty of creepy stuff! But no way out or any sort of clues as to how they all ended up here.]

[highrisk]

Yeah. Spooky blood and gross food, mostly. Really gunning for the horror award at the Oscars.

[ that's not a category. ]

[slashay]

[It is now, since Kashuu doesn't know an Oscars except as a legend from the days of yore.]

Hey, have you been up to the shrine yet? Just speaking of horror and all.

[highrisk]

I poked around a little. Didn't stay long.

[slashay]

That's a good idea. That place is the creepiest-feeling place outta any of the other ones I've been to, here.

["The vibes are rancid", says the sword. "They're straight-up vile."]

[highrisk]

Nah. The lab's worse.

[slashay]

That was the creepiest looking, for sure. Like, if this turns into a horror movie, the monster's definitely gonna come from there.

[But the VIBES. His spirit self is too riled up by a poorly-cared-for shrine.]

[highrisk]

I mean sure, the monsters in there are probably scary, but.

[ ... 'probably?' anyway apparently that's not the part he doesn't like. ]
