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!

[personal profile] fleshedout 2022-02-12 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
...And home is? Where?
highrisk: (pic#15421214)

[personal profile] highrisk 2022-02-12 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
My apartment?

[ frowns at canon. i cannot specify further. ]
fleshedout: (6)

[personal profile] fleshedout 2022-02-12 04:52 am (UTC)(link)
I meant country.
fleshedout: (15)

[personal profile] fleshedout 2022-02-12 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
[Thoughtful...]

Near New York?
highrisk: (pic#15421174)

[personal profile] highrisk 2022-02-12 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
... Not anymore.

I lived in Boston until recently, but I... Moved.
fleshedout: (20)

[personal profile] fleshedout 2022-02-12 05:06 am (UTC)(link)
Because of work? Or something else?
highrisk: if you recognize him from obscure BL manga no you don't (pic#15306066)

[personal profile] highrisk 2022-02-12 05:19 am (UTC)(link)
Let's say it was for work and call it good.
fleshedout: (6)

[personal profile] fleshedout 2022-02-12 05:22 am (UTC)(link)
Doesn't sound like work you're into, anyways. You're clearly so excited.
highrisk: (pic#15306068)

[personal profile] highrisk 2022-02-12 05:29 am (UTC)(link)
... Does anyone get "excited" about their work?
fleshedout: (30)

[personal profile] fleshedout 2022-02-12 05:32 am (UTC)(link)
[And a huff.]

Touché.
highrisk: (pic#15421182)

[personal profile] highrisk 2022-02-12 05:39 am (UTC)(link)
So what do you do?
fleshedout: (4)

[personal profile] fleshedout 2022-02-12 05:41 am (UTC)(link)
I guess you could call me a traveler. I was riding across the country.
highrisk: (pic#15421184)

[personal profile] highrisk 2022-02-12 05:42 am (UTC)(link)
Running from something?

Or chasing someone?
fleshedout: (6)

[personal profile] fleshedout 2022-02-12 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
Neither, actually. I was in a race.

[personal profile] highrisk 2022-02-12 06:13 am (UTC)(link)
[ huh. that's kinda cool. ]

Yeah? What for, prize money?
fleshedout: (6)

[personal profile] fleshedout 2022-02-12 01:51 pm (UTC)(link)
I wasn't in it for the money, but others were. The grand prize was fifty million dollars.
highrisk: (pic#15421205)

[personal profile] highrisk 2022-02-12 07:44 pm (UTC)(link)
What were you in it for then, if not the money?
fleshedout: (3)

[personal profile] fleshedout 2022-02-12 07:47 pm (UTC)(link)
...

I can't answer that.
highrisk: (pic#15421182)

[personal profile] highrisk 2022-02-12 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
... Yeah, alright.

Were you winning?
fleshedout: (4)

[personal profile] fleshedout 2022-02-12 08:20 pm (UTC)(link)
For a while, yes. But I dropped out near the end.
highrisk: (pic#15306067)

[personal profile] highrisk 2022-02-12 08:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Seems like a waste, but I guess if you weren't in it for the cash...

[She shrugs, and winces, slightly.]

It wasn't like that race was what it looked like from the outside, anyways.

[personal profile] highrisk 2022-02-12 09:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, things never are.
