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!

[ his face is still a little pink, but at least it seems to have helped settle his nerves. by like, a fraction. a tiny bit. he looks over at her pitiably. ]

Is anyone...?

[countermeasures]

[she inclines her head slightly at that - he's got a point.

but, still. her gaze flits briefly to his pinkened cheek.]

Well, it's true we're all in a concerning situation, but we aren't all hitting ourselves...

[naruhodope]

Ah... that's true...

[ he has his reasons, though!! ]

But that's just how I concentrate. [ (Nothing to wake yourself up like a good slap to the face.) ] Maybe other people should try it too.

[ no ]

[countermeasures]

If it works for you it works for you, but do take care not to injure yourself. I -

[a beat.]

...well, normally I would have a salve for any bruising you might accidentally end up with on your cheek, but my supplies seem to be missing.

[naruhodope]

[ unfortunately, he doesn't really own anything of value, so he doesn't see the connection between missing items. ]

Oh... did you lose them?

[countermeasures]

I had them with me before, but they were gone when I woke up here...

[naruhodope]

[ (...Would they take away our things? Not that I even know who 'they' could be.) ]

I'd hope they haven't been stolen, but... [ hard to say. ] They were medical supplies?

[countermeasures]

[she nods]

I'm a doctor, so I keep certain things with me in case I have need of them at short notice.

[naruhodope]

Those sound important.

[ way moreso than like, a lost student's pin. not that he wouldn't like to find that too. ]

I can help you look for them, if you like? I'm not sure if anything would turn up, but... [ he shuffles a little on his feet, frowning a little. ] Well, either way, I wanted to take a look around.

[countermeasures]

I'd appreciate it.

[she smiles.]

Even if we don't find it, it's important to familiarize ourselves with our surroundings.

[so it won't be a waste!! even when they inevitably don't find it because she's only getting her acupuncture needles back and even that's not until we get our items from home icly. it's fine.]

[naruhodope]

[ it's fine,

anyway he's not shounen enough to be optimistic about this, because actually he kind of wants to crawl under a table and die, but they don't know how much time they have to walk around freely.

might as well try. he nods as they set off. ]

I'm guessing that means no one knows has any idea where we are, then...?

[countermeasures]

No one I've spoken to so far has. It's a little frustrating...

[not to mention concerning! how do this many people end up in a place with no idea where they are or how they got there?]

[naruhodope]

Not to mention that we can't possibly all be from the same place.

[ even if she looks way more 'normal' than a bunch of people he's run into thus far, the differences are still very apparent. ]

I for one can't think of any reason to abduct a person like me?

[ he's literally just some dude? ]

[countermeasures]
