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!

[ how sad, crow, not for science? not for little old me? :( sad.

percy does just sit by and watch a moment, nodding and waving the little piece of cloth briefly so it blows itself out before he flicks it away. ]


Would've been a step in the right direction. Seems like we've been left with absolute shit-all...

[ science can suck his dick. but if percy’s so into it, crow’ll happily watch him light himself up. ]

Great observation. They even took colour from us, which is… y’know. Wild. And not normal.

[ no that's for aki, but percy was really hoping to get warm by this stupid fire, okay. he frowns deeply at it. ]

What do you think the point of taking color from us all is? Oh now, now you'll never be able to pick out a decent outfit from the closet etc. etc. insert evil laughter here... [ he waves a hand ]

[ of course aki set kashuu on fire. ]

... I mean, it's pretty drab. There's probably some long term mental effect to losing colour vision when you once had it. Hopefully we're not here long enough to figure it out.

But if it's clothing, then joke's on them my clothes are like black and beige.

Or maybe we're supposed to be the ones to figure it out.

Some people just don't want to do their own work.

… It’s been like two hours and no one left a note. I think we get a little leeway while we work out what the fuck’s going on.
