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!

Yeah, sort of. It's not something you'd eat every day, but they sell it at amusement parks and carnivals. Places like that.

It's just sugar.
hasteful: (➛ will end up alone)

[personal profile] hasteful 2022-02-12 06:51 am (UTC)(link)
Oh.

.... I thought all the food was supposed to taste like that.

[buzen's never seen a hot dog in his life]

So they even took something good from us...

[personal profile] highrisk 2022-02-12 06:55 am (UTC)(link)
That's bleak, man.

What do you usually eat...?
hasteful: (➛ we can go where our eyes take us)

[personal profile] hasteful 2022-02-12 06:58 am (UTC)(link)
Mm, rice dishes. Fish. Lots of vegetables! Someone I know is really good at farming....

I kind of wish he was here - he was able to farm in conditions like this before, so he'd be really helpful...
highrisk: (pic#15421182)

[personal profile] highrisk 2022-02-12 08:12 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't want to be here so long that farming becomes a desired skill.
hasteful: (➛ that i'd like to pursue)

[personal profile] hasteful 2022-02-12 08:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh - were you in the middle of something important?
highrisk: (pic#15421205)

[personal profile] highrisk 2022-02-12 08:36 pm (UTC)(link)
No, but weirdly I prefer my apartment to this place.
hasteful: (➛ this thing was a shot in the dark)

[personal profile] hasteful 2022-02-12 11:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[he laughs]

Oh? Getting suddenly kidnapped to a place that's cold and has nothing to eat doesn't suit your preferences?

Hah, I just hope we get an idea of how to leave soon.
highrisk: (pic#15421175)

[personal profile] highrisk 2022-02-12 11:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Just a matter of time before we find out something, right?

Doubt leaving's so easy, though.
hasteful: (➛ you keep it in your pocket)

[personal profile] hasteful 2022-02-12 11:33 pm (UTC)(link)
That's what people are saying... I hope you're all correct.

[buzen has no idea what's going on he's just going through the motions with his best efforts]

But if you all need to go home, I'll do my best to help out!
highrisk: (pic#15421129)

[personal profile] highrisk 2022-02-12 11:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Nn?

Don't you want to get home, too?
hasteful: (➛ and hold it for you)

[personal profile] hasteful 2022-02-12 11:42 pm (UTC)(link)
I do. There's stuff I have to get back to.

But I can last in this type of environment a little better than most I've met here, I think, so I'm not in as much of a rush.

[he's the type to Go Fast but he's also the type to take care of everyone else's needs first]
highrisk: (pic#15306067)

[personal profile] highrisk 2022-02-12 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
... Guess running is a good way to keep warm.

[ that's the best guess he has about this kind of behavior. what do you MEAN take care of others? what the fuck is THAT? ]
hasteful: (➛ darling let's run)

[personal profile] hasteful 2022-02-13 12:18 am (UTC)(link)
It is!

Body heat worked surprisingly well too.

[just saying]
highrisk: if you recognize him from obscure BL manga no you don't (pic#15306066)

[personal profile] highrisk 2022-02-13 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I'll pass on cuddling up to a bunch of total strangers.
hasteful: (➛ please don't go away)

[personal profile] hasteful 2022-02-13 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
Haha - are you shy? Or cautious? Both?
highrisk: (pic#15421195)

[personal profile] highrisk 2022-02-13 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sane, that's all.
hasteful: (➛ should this be the last thing i see)

[personal profile] hasteful 2022-02-13 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
... so extremely cautious...

Well, alright - just let me know if you ever get too cold. I'm worried about you all!
hasteful: (➛ will end up alone)
