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 [community profile] 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!

[ Roxana is patient and doesn't comment on how flustered Chinatsu looks. ]

Have you tried going through them yet?

[Thank you, Roxana.]

Just one. The one with the temple. There was something making noise behind a door.

It was a little unnerving, wasn't it? Things that are locked up are usually locked up for a reason.

[ but.... her tone indicates there is a but. ]

[personal profile] withaswing 2022-02-12 02:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Like… criminals?

[She makes an incredibly WHAT… normie sort of face of uncertainty. Don’t just say that…]

But…?

[personal profile] disingenuous 2022-02-12 06:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Like criminals.

[ Or monsters, but she looks so normie, so Roxana is just going to ease her into this jamjar life. ]

But finding the reason why could tell us more about what kind of place this is.

[:pensive:]

Why something would be locked up? Mmm. Are you going to try to find out?
disingenuous: (r5-2)

[personal profile] disingenuous 2022-02-12 08:25 pm (UTC)(link)
I would like to, but I also value my safety.

[ She makes small scale weighing hand gestures. ]

It'd be nice if we could communicate with whoever [ or whatever ] is inside.

You're smarter than how a lot of the other people here act.

[Kakkoi...]

I'll help you, if you want. Um, if it isn't a bother.

[ Chinatsu is cute. Roxana smiles up at her because did she ever climb down from the tree? ]

Why would your help be a bother? I'd appreciate it a lot.

[personal profile] withaswing 2022-02-12 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[SHE DIDN'T, but only because if Roxana said no, she'd stay in the tree for a bit. But now,

she lights up a bit, and hastily climbs out of the tree.]


Okay! Oh-- [She gives a tiny bow.] Chinatsu HIyama.
disingenuous: (r101)

[personal profile] disingenuous 2022-02-13 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
It's a pleasure, Chinatsu. I'm Roxana. Let's look around together, shall we? Even if we can't find a way out right away, there's still safety in numbers.

[personal profile] withaswing 2022-02-13 12:50 am (UTC)(link)
Right. I'm ready when you are, Roxana-san. Let's try an archway we haven't been in first.
disingenuous: (r36)

[personal profile] disingenuous 2022-02-13 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
How about that one?

[ She points to the one that goes to the backalley with nothing but trash. ]
