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
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!

[buzen is the epitome of that "me and my girl don't argue she tells me to shut up and i do" meme
anyway he nods!!]
I'll search for what I can then! Nothing looks like what I know either... Ah, what I'd give for something sweet.
no subject
[ He doesn't seem quite real, in a way. ]
... Sweets, hm? Maybe you'll get lucky and find something for yourself.
no subject
[generous, that is. but he'll just laugh a little bit at that as they head toward the archway of the manor, and he'll walk with her toward the fire that isn't actually warm]
That'd be nice! But I'd only need a little bit. Just something to clear the head.
If I find something that good, I'll share with you too, miss.
no subject
Thank you. Think of yourself half as much as you seem to think of others, won't you?
[ She almost sounds amused, so it's hard to say how sincere she is. ]
My name's Roxana.
no subject
also why do you all have such difficult names he's clearly already mentally struggling with it]
I'm Buzen. It's nice to meet you, Ro-san. [can you imagine buzen knowing how to pronounce an X sound? i can't. he wouldn't make it through kingdom hearts] I'll be right back, so stay warm.
no subject
She lifts a hand in wave. ]
Be careful.
[ She will wait and still be cold next to this fire. ]
no subject
anyway he'll wave back!! and then run off - like actually sprint, because he's gotta go fast.
and to his credit, he is very fast. he'll eventually come back from the rainy area and he's got a little bag of stale hot dogs (gross) and cotton candy (still gross) and will slow to a jog once he's back in the manor]
Ro-san! Any warmer? Or is that too wishful thinking for the fire...
no subject
That was faster than she expected, perhaps. By the time he's back, she found the cleanest spot, which probably isn't all that clean, to sit down. Her dress is too fancy for this, but a girl makes do. ]
If thinking was all it took, I'd be untouchable. Your jacket helps.
no subject
Does it? I'm relieved.
[if he's cold, he only shows it in one big shiver and a few hops before he settles down by her. he offers her the bag of stale bread i'm so sorry roxana]
I was able to find this - though when I sampled it, it wasn't exactly delicious... but it's something.
[and he holds up a cotton candy]
And this.
no subject
[ She will take the food, but she isn't trying it yet. Emergency rations, even if they aren't filling.
She eyes the cotton candy with some curiosity, though. ]
It's a shame none of the food tastes good. I think this could be fun to eat otherwise.
no subject
I was told that normally this is quite sweet - so normally exactly what I want!
... but it seems like even the small pleasures have been stolen for now.
[he'll still pull off a piece and eat it, even if he makes a slightly pinched face]
.... well, you're free to have some too if you want, Ro-san. Even if... I can't really recommend it.
no subject
[ Does she want to show him her grimacing from the bad taste? No. ]
I won't die from hunger.
