chroma | 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!

More like people who can't fly... anymore.

[ she's pouty ]

People who can fly again.... eventually.

[ It's less optimism and more like this better happen. ]

We better! Imma kick so much lousy butt if I don't get my powers back.

[ this better happen indeed, but louder, ]

Let's find weapons to kick with, hm?

[ Put a little more thought to it, Marceline. ]

My fists are weapons, pshaw. [ hm. this sounds too much like finn for her so she shrugs ] But sure, axes are cooler anyway.

It's best to keep your hands in good condition in case of an emergency. Let's find you an axe.

[ Even if there are no axes here, but she is going to look around all the monsters in all these lab tools she can't recognize for anything that might be similar. ]

[ there are definitely no axes here but marcy will lazily help her look ]

What about you? Got a weapon you need to look for?

I wouldn't mind a stiletto.

[ the knife or the shoe. ]

The heels?

[ she laughs. ]

Yes. You can dress to kill.

You totally can, though. Big enough heels can take an eye out, easy.

You know how it works. Good.

Well, duh. I've worn heels?

[ she has boots on now but. she has worn heels!!! ]

Not everyone has that kind of survival instinct. Some can't walk in them.

That's not a problem for me. I barely walk places.

[ Well, Roxana doesn't want to remind Marceline that she now has to walk everywhere, so..... ]

It doesn't seem like there any axes in this room. Do you spot any?

Nopppeee. No weapons here unless we break a table leg and make a stake out of it or something. Tape some broken glass to it?

[ she drags her finger through some dust and blows a raspberry ]

Is there even tape for that?

[ She sighs softly. ]

Maybe another archway will give us something a little more.

Hrmm. I didn't see any tape in the amusement park, but maybe the cotton candy is sticky enough?

[ probably not. ]

Cotton candy?

[ me, not knowing if cotton candy exists in roxana's fantasy world. ]

You haven't seen it? It's fluffed up sugar. Usually it's got bright colors too, but not since this place made everything all blech. It's stale too, I think.

[ it's not like she can? eat it to tell? ]

Is that what it's called? I guess it looks a little like cotton.

[ especially now that it's monochrome. ]

I don't know how filling it'd be even if weren't stale. It'd make for flimsy tape.

Probably, but it's the best I can think of right now. No real tape anywhere. I think I saw like. One piece of paper too, maybe.

[ hrm. ]

Seen any rope?

No, but if you're desperate, those bloodied sheets in that mansion could be fashioned into some.

[ and maybe the biohazard could kill something. ]

Now that's gonna make a super janked looking knife. Guess beggars can't be choosers.
