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!

[ well, she doesn't seem hurt, so that's good. on the other hand, she definitely looks angry now? so that's uh, less good. his body language is exaggerated by nature, shoulders hopping up in surprise. ]

—A thief? Huh?

[ he can't even begin to touch on her question, because he has no idea what she's talking about. oops. ]

[allomantic]

You bumped into me, and now it's gone.

[she bumped into him?? and it was gone before, she just didn't realize it until afterwards. please save ryunosuke x 2.]

Turn out your pockets.

[naruhodope]

[ even though she is very little, he's finding himself... intimidated? tiny people are so full of horrors, actually. he puts up his hands, placating, eyes turned huge in confusion. does he look like a thief.......... ]

I promise I only have lint! I guess you can have it if you want?

[allomantic]

[she squints, apparently unswayed by his Fear.]

Promises mean nothing. Show me.

[naruhodope]

[ please his Fear ]

Ah...

[ (It's probably bad that I'm getting used to this.)

he shuffles to turn out his pockets, which are indeed sadly filled with lint and probably like a piece of obliterated paper he forgot to take out before the wash. she can... have it......? he'll offer it to her because he's alarmed. ]

I don't have anything else. Sorry...

[allomantic]

[she assumes that it's something important if he's offering it to her (i'm in tears) so she reaches out to grab it. after a few confused seconds spent staring at it:]

What is this?

[naruhodope]

[ WELL. IT'S NOT IMPORTANT. that's probably been there for months. it basically disintegrates in her hand. ]

...Grocery list, maybe? In a past life, anyway.

[ it's clearly dead now ]

[allomantic]

[she just drops it as she stares at him.]

Why did you give me your grocery list?

[because you asked him to turn out his pockets? vin?]

[naruhodope]

[ he watches the ex-list flutter away. discarded like nothing. goodbye. ]

S—Sorry. It just seemed like you wanted something...

[ .......is this his fault? he's lost track. ]

Um, does that mean you're missing your things?

[allomantic]

Yes.

[to both of his statements, honestly. she's still staring at him like she's trying to decide if there's another place other than his pockets he could be hiding whatever it is she was assuming he took... before she sighs.]

Fine.

[it was always fine. he did nothing wrong.]

[naruhodope]

[ at least he's apparently exonerated himself of his crimes. he lets out a relieved breath, followed by a hum. ]

Hmm... It's better to go looking as soon as it's gone. [ if it was stolen. before the thief can get too far. ] I can help, if you want.

[allomantic]

[looking at him...]

Why do you want to help?

[back to square one i guess]
