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
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!

... What kind of suud have you been smoking? [ ???? ] Probably just some sort of magic - I seriously doubt we've been drugged.
no subject
[her brow furrows and she mumbles that to herself, then shakes her head.]
It was just a thought. I've been in more situations where people have drugged incense than I have where magic was at play, so...
[she shrugs.]
no subject
Don't... think I need to tell you to avoid places with drugged incense.
[ hm.
anyway ]
Magic's normal. Not that I can do any of it right now - that part's weird.
no subject
[sometimes the people you're forced to interact with just really, really suck? but it's fine.]
It's been like that since you woke up, I assume...?
[she can't relate to not being able to use magic, but she is really feeling the lack of her medical supplies. her bag is usually right there, but it hasn't been since she found herself in this weirdass place.]
no subject
Hey, better that way. [ he can think of at least one person off the top of his head who would deal with that on purpose (scanlan) (its scanlan) ] Seems like you got out of it alright.
[ pro..bably? if she can see him maybe not
...hm. anyway, ]
Yeah. Missing my shit, too. [ my ARMOR ] But I can't sense anything like I could normally, and that's just weird.
1/2
[ :) ]
2/2
[hmm.]
For what purpose?
no subject
That's what I like to hear. Good on you.
[ girl power!!!
anyway ] - It leaves a lot of us defenseless. Doesn't it? Seems like the easy answer. Whatever's powerful enough here to do that did it on purpose.
no subject
[the fact that it's happened to so many of them so consistently shows intent.]
The second question is why they wanted us to be here in the first place. Unfortunately, looking around so far hasn't yielded many answers...
no subject
[ just an abandoned wasteland. ] And it's not like there were any directions, either.
no subject
[hmph.]
...but at least we aren't dealing with this alone. For better or worse, we're all in the same boat here.
