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!

[CLARTE]

Where are you-- Wait!

[Somehow, staying at the entrance is just as creepy, so she is going to follow them immediately in. HAHA...]
georeject: (art2; o:)

[personal profile] georeject 2022-02-12 12:55 am (UTC)(link)
[they pause.]

You don't have to follow me if you don't want to. I'm just curious.

[She looks warily behind them at the entrance, then frowns back at them.]

Every place here is weird. You shouldn't go in by yourself.
georeject: (art4; smile.)

[personal profile] georeject 2022-02-12 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
... Then, I appreciate the company. You're very brave, aren't you?

[it took me so long to get back around here opening day is hell]

I'm... Well, um. When I need to be. But this is still weird!
georeject: (art2; neutral.)

[personal profile] georeject 2022-02-12 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
[pats u]

Well, stay behind me, just in case. I assume you didn't encounter some kind of physical danger, though?
withaswing: (pic#15425096)

[personal profile] withaswing 2022-02-12 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
Okay... [She shakes her head.] No. It just... feels weird. Like when you stand there too long.

[They both get to have depression.]
georeject: (art2; :thinking:)

[personal profile] georeject 2022-02-12 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
[yay]

Well, as long as we can walk away afterwards. Let's see, then...

[STOP

She doesn't trample them or anything, but she stays close. Peering around the creepy alley...! WHY DOES IT FEEL LONELY? Is this really any different of a feeling for a Jan character?]
georeject: (sprite; thinking.)

[personal profile] georeject 2022-02-12 07:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[WTF STOP clarte has lots of friends]

... It really does feel unsettling.
withaswing: (pic#15425082)

[personal profile] withaswing 2022-02-12 08:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[friends they don't acknowledge....]

See? [She keeps both hands balled against her chest.] Why does it feel this way...? Why is so much color missing...?
georeject: (art2; :thinking:)

[personal profile] georeject 2022-02-12 09:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Good question. Well... my curiosity has been sated, so shall we get out of here? My apologies for dragging you into this.
withaswing: (pic#15425080)

[personal profile] withaswing 2022-02-12 10:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[Please, don't just say good question without any kind of explanation. She's begging. Nothing here makes any sense she can accept.]

Yes! Why do you think I was running out? [She is already starting to head back!!] Why is this the least weird thing...
georeject: (portrait; eyes closed.)

[personal profile] georeject 2022-02-13 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
[look they don't got shit

anyway they follow her back.]


Heh... the competition is rather fierce here.
