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!

[theampirequeen]

Uh-huh.

[ she absolutely believes him considering he hesitated. that's fine she won't call him out if he wants to pretend. ]

It's pretty much just Finn back in Ooo. There might be others, but they haven't been seen for a long, long time.

[aitou]

[Thanks for being 100% convinced that he's human marcy

Meanwhile, in his little pompom head he's thinking he really needs to talk to the saniwa when he gets home?? IN WHAT ERA WERE HUMANS REPLACED BY VAMPIRES. He needs to study his future-history better]

So it's just vampires and one human? [He wants so badly to ask about swords but he can't] Well, as long as you're not lonely, then that's okay.

[theampirequeen]

Haha, what? Ooo's got all kinds of stuff. [ the idea of it being finn alone with a bunch of vampire is HILARIOUS to her, and it clearly looks like it ] It's a wild time. 'Sides, I'm the only vampire left in Ooo.

[aitou]

Oh... [That sounds sad?! At least she's got other, uh. Non-vampire non-humans (swords?? Swords????), but still.] Sorry, can I ask what happened to the other ones?

[theampirequeen]

I happened. Vampire slaying was my jam back then, ha. [ she is so casual about this. she shrugs ] As for humans, they might still be around. No clue where though.

[aitou]

Oh, I see.

[He's technically a sword that kills other swords so he's assuming it's a similar situation. Huh! Maybe Kashuu knows?? Yasusada makes a note to ask if he's heard anything.]

Then, when you said "all kinds of stuff", what did you mean?

[theampirequeen]

Hmmm. Let's see...

[ she's thinking? and then listing stuff in no particular order it sounds like ]

There's ghouls and ghosts and demons. Candy people, flame people, little talking hot dogs, all kinds of animals and bugs, fairies, pixies, rainicorns, cloud people, breakfast people, giants, mermaids, cyclops, elves, lards...

[ she pauses ]

A lot of stuff.

[aitou]

[WHAT IN THE EVER-LOVING FUCK]

That's way too much...

[theampirequeen]

S'why I just said stuff. It's way faster.

[aitou]

[SHE HAS A POINT.]

Where did they all come from?!

[theampirequeen]

Hmmm. Depends. Some have been around forever, but some only showed up after the Mushroom War. [ this is vague and unhelpful ] Life kinda just shows up wherever, you know?

[aitou]

[THE MUSHROOM WAR.......]

Does it? [He doesn't really think that's how it works but he's a spirit basically created by Strong Human Feelings so what the fuck does he know]

[theampirequeen]

[ the mushroom war :) ]

Well, yeah. Even when it ends, it just starts up again after. Like... a cycle.

[aitou]

[(muffled badgers badgers badgers)

Also this would be a much more meaningful conversation if Yasusada were a different sword; as it stands, though, he just looks like he's thinking about it, nodding slowly.]

Have you lived a very long time, then?

[theampirequeen]

[ please do not have meaningful conversations with my cartoon vampire. i refuse it. ]

Well, yeah. I'm over a thousand years old.

[aitou]

[well now I have to]

Oh! So it's like that.

[Okay yeah now all the weirdness makes sense]

[theampirequeen]

[ noooooo ]

Like what?

[aitou]

Like, you're--[a weirdo Sanjou, he can't say]--really old! So sometimes you'll say weird things.

[that's how it works, apparently]

[theampirequeen]

Haha, yeah. [ don't just admit it? ] Sometimes it's just for fun to mess with people.

[ DON'T JUST ADMIT THAT EITHER ]

[aitou]

[IT'S FINE... Yasusada's just shaking his head.]

You sound like some people I know back home. [Butthead pranksters!! He knows them. HE KNOWS YOUR TYPE.]

[theampirequeen]

Oh yeah? Are they fun?

[ hehe. ]
