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!

My bet's on evil scientists. Fits every time.

...

We can't deny that being a possibility.

... I'm sure we'll find out eventually.

Someone will come to take credit, because some psycho out there is probably proud of it.

... It sounds like you have some experience with these sort of people?

Who's to say.

[ so, yes? ]

[personal profile] classmate 2022-02-12 10:02 pm (UTC)(link)
You.

[ Literally he can confirm or deny this. ]

But I won't pry. I understand that things can be... complicated. [ Her mouth twists, lips pressing into a firm line. ] I'm afraid of how I would have responded if there were a hospital, admittedly.

[ he is visibly curious but. she was pretty polite about not prying so he won't either. ]

Well. Lucky you.

[personal profile] classmate 2022-02-12 10:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Well...

So, um, have you heard of them? Scientists that will sap color away? I didn't read a lot of sci-fi growing up.
highrisk: (pic#15421174)

[personal profile] highrisk 2022-02-12 10:55 pm (UTC)(link)
... No. Never read about that particular field of shitty scientist.

But I guess the field is always expanding.

I wonder what happened, then... to make this place the way it is now.

Surely people lived here before -- but to have all vanished without a trace?
highrisk: (pic#15306068)

[personal profile] highrisk 2022-02-12 11:11 pm (UTC)(link)
... I think the bloodstains kind of count as a trace.
classmate: (pic#15444019)

[personal profile] classmate 2022-02-12 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
... So you imagine they were killed? [ Dimitri voice: ] Every last one of them... ?
highrisk: (pic#15306070)

[personal profile] highrisk 2022-02-12 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[ he shrugs... ]

I think we don't have enough information to start jumping to conclusions.
classmate: (pic#15394826)

[personal profile] classmate 2022-02-13 12:22 am (UTC)(link)
[ :( ]

I suppose you're right...
highrisk: (pic#15421181)

[personal profile] highrisk 2022-02-13 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
... But I still think it's only logical to assume we're not safe.
