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!

Alright, not loving how confident you sound about that.

You a tiny little exorcist or something?
gogoghostpowers: ([F] (somebody might be me))

[personal profile] gogoghostpowers 2022-02-12 12:26 am (UTC)(link)
An exorcist? Haven't heard that one before...

Nah, my parents are ghost hunters. You kinda get a feel for the family business after a while, you know?

My condolences for your crazy family.

[ he like... goes to set a mocking sympathetic hand on danny's shoulder but just stops like halfway there instead, and drops his hand back to his side without touching him. anyway. ]

But hey, at least you got to grow up on the inside of the grift.
gogoghostpowers: ([F] like flowers in the dead of night)

[personal profile] gogoghostpowers 2022-02-12 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
[ blinks. ]

The...grift...?

Oh! No, actually, ghosts are real. I mean, we didn't know that until a few years ago but now? [ nods ] Totally real, not a grift.

Wow, grifters gone legit. Touching story.
gogoghostpowers: ([F] i went to see what i could find)

[personal profile] gogoghostpowers 2022-02-12 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
[ danny's not sure how to respond to that. "thanks?" ]

...well, anyway, that's how I can tell you for 100% certain this place is not haunted.

[personal profile] highrisk 2022-02-12 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
You run around the other areas yet? What's your read on them?
gogoghostpowers: ([F] it's a dead man's party)

[personal profile] gogoghostpowers 2022-02-12 04:59 am (UTC)(link)
Mmmm...I haven't checked out all of them yet, but so far I'd say none of them are haunted.

...except for maybe the lab. I wouldn't be surprised if it was haunted, at least.

[personal profile] highrisk 2022-02-12 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
Oh good, the worst place here is the one that's haunted.
gogoghostpowers: ([F] i got a bed that's real soft)

[personal profile] gogoghostpowers 2022-02-12 06:01 am (UTC)(link)
Hey, I'm not saying that it is haunted!

Just that, if anywhere here was going to be haunted, it'd be the spooky lab full of questionably-dead monsters who either might be ghosts, or have ghosts.

[personal profile] highrisk 2022-02-12 06:16 am (UTC)(link)
That's not comforting.
gogoghostpowers: ([F] don't be afraid)

[personal profile] gogoghostpowers 2022-02-12 08:25 am (UTC)(link)
Believe me, I'm not happy about that place either. There are some serious bad vibes in there.

[ he shudders ]

[personal profile] highrisk 2022-02-12 07:56 pm (UTC)(link)
That's the understatement of the decade.

I'd rather hang out at this murder carnival than that place.
gogoghostpowers: ([F] like flowers in the dead of night)

[personal profile] gogoghostpowers 2022-02-12 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Pfft, yeah, me too. At least that place has food. Even if it's bad. And probably rotten.

[ so they said, before the clowns arrived. ]
highrisk: (pic#15421191)

[personal profile] highrisk 2022-02-12 10:53 pm (UTC)(link)
If we starve to death because all they gave us was rotten carnival food, I will not be a happy customer.
gogoghostpowers: ([F] the shoe is on the other foot)

[personal profile] gogoghostpowers 2022-02-12 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, on the bright side, you wouldn't be hungry anymore!

Great, always wanted to haunt a bunch of complete strangers in a place I don't know anything about.
