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!

Hm? [ oh, a person. in... a curious blindfold. that must be why he's asking—he can't see the bread. ] Oh, it's just some food. I was starting to wonder if there was anything to eat here at all.

[ There's a slightly puzzled cant of his head. ]

Really? Just lying around an old place like this?

Right? My thoughts as well.

[ he does grab the bread, which is like... slightly soggy from all the rain that's been trickling down. very appetizing. ]

It's some sort of long bread bun. [ he describes like 9s can't see it. i definitely typed alphinaud first, lol ] ...I can't say it looks any good.

[ dammit nu ]

Yeah, it really doesn't. [ Which is saying a lot, considering 9S isn't well versed in the world of food. ] Still gonna eat it?

...Well, it wouldn't do to waste food in a situation like this, right?

[ surely that's enough reason to consume mysterious circus bread ]

I guess not, though I can't say I would ever bother eating it.

[ It looks too yuck. ]

[ unfortunately, he's really hungry, so his standards dive to rock bottom. not that they were very high to begin with. ]

There hasn't been much better that I've seen, I'm afraid...

... If that's all you're stuck with, better hope we're not here for long.

[personal profile] naruhodope 2022-02-13 08:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, there's plenty of reasons I'd like to be home and having tea...

[ this place is! bad! ]

Have you started scavenging for yourself yet?

Me? Erm... no. I've just been looking around for answers, not that I've had any luck.
