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!

Okay, well, it's an... electronic device, to put it really simply. But if you don't know that much, then you probably meant something else when you said this world might not be real.
no subject
[hmmMMM]
Yes. I am aware of ways to make a world like that.

[ His mouth twists. ]
That doesn't really explain much, you know.
no subject
Really? And here I was thinking you had one, with your blindfold and all.
no subject
Huh? It's just a visor, it doesn't do anything special.
no subject
no subject
No, I'm—I already told you, I see the same way anyone else does. It's not that weird, all right?
no subject
...If you say so. [...] Do others have these "visors" where you come from?
no subject
Yeah. It's a standard part of our uniform.

[ He says this like it was supposed to be obvious. ]
no subject
[you look like a twink, sir]
I see. Must be different in your world...do you fight for your country?
no subject
No—but that's not really important.
no subject
Well, regardless...it must be important for you to get home to...fight whatever fight you need to do.

no subject
You think one of the others around would be doing that?
no subject
It's a possibility I won't discount. For now, I've found no evidence for it. But I'm keeping my eyes open.
no subject
Right. Couldn't hurt to, not that I've run into anyone who seems any less confused than you or me.
