chroma | 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

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!

An isekai street act would be pretty fun!

[where is itaru he's an adultier adult...(he's not better)]

Mm... Itaroon might be better at that one, but I'll give it my best shot!

Just make up something you think is super cool!! Like... You can be the wizard of creation!

Ohhh, I like it! And I'm here to help you train to save the world, right?

Yeah, exactly! With your super powers of color and design.

[ suddenly swapping to a very serious voice. he's in-character! ]

But my powers aren't strong enough all on their own! I need your help to restore color to this world, Kumopi!

O-of course! [He'll stumble his way into IC one way or another] I'm still new so- I dunno how much help I can give. Will you train me?

[ he's so cuuuuute ]

Nope, I'm just here to let you know the fate of the world is on your shoulders. Byyyyyye!

[ beat ]

JK! I'll totally train you, no prob!

[Relieved laughing!]

Kazu! Okay, great, wise wizard! What should I do?

First you must gather the colors from where they first appeared in this world, and then you'll learn to harness its power for yourself! Only then can we restore this world to the beautiful land it once was!

Um... Where should we start? The primary ones, right? So that's... red, yellow and blue! Hmm... Should we look for a lake?

That's right! The primary colors are the building blocks of all other colors, you know!

A lake, a river, even a puddle - any water should do it if blue is what you're after.

Let's look for a river!

[Also maybe he can have a drink? He'd like a drink.]

River it is! You're the hero, amigo, so you get to lead the way!

Hmmm....

[Which way... He'll just take a random portal and hope!

They are at the mansion.]

Eh? Portals?!

[ we don't question it ]

Hmmm... I don't think we'll find any rivers here.

Since we're here, we should look around a little. Maybe there's some running water?

[No.]

Mmmm, it's a mansion so there has to be! But it's in pretty bad shape... Maybe we have to fix it up? Like a side quest!

[He makes the zelda item noise!]

[ kazu only sort of knows what that means but he laughs anyway! it's cute! ]

What do you want to do, Kumopi? Want to give a shot? Hm, but we'd need tools, wouldn't we...?

Edited 2022-02-13 19:31 (UTC)

I'm not super handy, but I can try!

[Where's Chikage in times like this]

Maybe there are some tools around?

[ in his sage wizard of creation voice: ] You'll learn many new skills on your quest to save this world.

There was a lab, right? Maybe we could find something there if nothing's around here?

Yeah! We can check it out after.

You got it, hero~!

So where do you think we should check out first?

Uuuh... The kitchen maybe?
