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!

A place for the injured and sick go to be treated?

[vedrskogul]

Oh. The chirurgeons.

[classmate]

Sure.

[ As long as it makes sense. ]

And yourself?

[vedrskogul]

It's a long story.

[ He actually sounds like it is one rather than just shirking off her curiosity. ]

[classmate]

We might be looking for your weapon for some time, Mister Estinien.

[vedrskogul]

I dislike that.

[ Estinien will remember that. ]

[classmate]

Unfortunate, yes, but that gives you time... ?

[ WHERE ARE YOU FROM MAN ]

Though if you'd rather it be kept a secret, you only need to tell me that and I'll leave it alone.

[vedrskogul]

[ HE SIGHS. ]

Formerly of Ishgard and once was the Azure Dragoon. I travel now.

[ And that's the extent she gets for now, probably. He doesn't like talking about himself!! ]

[classmate]

[ She's just going to nod like she knows what that means. ]

Is it cold there, in Ishgard?

[vedrskogul]

A permanent winter ever since the Calamity. Used to have greener summers, but 'tis snow and ice year-round, now.

[classmate]

So you must be used to the cold, that's a relief...

[ She turns her head to sneeze. ]

This kind of weather isn't my favorite.

[vedrskogul]

[ Unfortunately it's cold even for him. But hey he also canonically wears HeatTech now. Get on my level. ]

Then you should look for a sweater or someone who'll lend you one.

[classmate]

I'll look once we've found Nidhogg!

[vedrskogul]

Why?! I'll find him on my own, it's not going to make you any warmer!

[ HELLO? ]

[classmate]
