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!

[ well - at first, he's not expecting it to actually be percy. he's not expecting percy to even be able to see him. not anymore, not like this. and, if percy is here, then that means --

that they come to the same realization, at the same time. vax is startled, at first, visibly too, as his eyes search over percy's figure, and then he just reaches out and grabs him by the shoulders. ]

My sister. [ where the FUCK is vex ] Where is she - Percy, where is she.

[ probably not the best greeting for (redacted) considering (redacted) and (redacted) BUT ALSO ]

[decisions]

Stop shaking me—!

[ seriously, percy's fumbling, slapping at vax's arms with a pained look on his face, drawn eyebrows as he looks him over. this is a nightmare, this has to be a nightmare, because the last thing they need to be is some... otherworldly plain of existence where all they are is dead. that's what this is, right? ]

I don't know, [ and truly, he sounds... a little helpless in this moment. for some reason, percy can't find the answers anywhere close to his tongue. he's fumbling a bit before clearing his throat. ] I don't know where Vex is, where any of them all—and we're just as lost as they are. [ he breathes out sharply, his voice withering. ] If we're here... then Ripley's likely escaped as well... damn it...

[daggering]

[ he's about to do a whole lot worse than shake him when he says he doesn't know where vex is. vax's expression changes from worried and panicking to thunderously angry -- (i trust you, i know you would take care of her, you're my family but she's my heart and you've already lost her i've barely -- )

but then percy says that name and vax freezes, hands still sort of half hovering in the air near percy's shoulders, confusion flickering across his face. ]

Ripley? What the fuck are you on about?

[ that was... ]

[decisions]

Anne Ripley. Glintshore? We were all there, we—

[ percy's head shakes a bit, and maybe he's going to step back from the shaking a little. maybe this is a nightmare all over again and somewhere the cold and the needle-like sensation of teeth will happen over and over again, somewhere dark.

(he thinks a lot about vex'ahlia. more than he will admit in this moment. he thinks about going down and hoping for the best. he places a hand in his coat briefly, searching, then withdraws it, empty.) ]

I...

[ softly ] What sort of magical insanity is this now...? [ this seems fake tbh! ]

[daggering]

[ well

that takes a lot of wind out of his sails. vax stops what he's doing, hands curling again, and then shakes his head, reaching up to scrub his own face. ]

...we were all there, yeah. Percival - [ cut off, for a moment, like he's stumbling through what he wants to say.

vax looks left, right. ]

...Come on.

[ and cocks his head in the direction of the mansion. come on then ]
