WEEK SEVEN: MINGLE

[saturations]

MINGLE

Another bittersweet weekend is behind you now. You were successfully in reversing an execution, and yet...well. This place truly does love violence against children, doesn't it? No time to stop and dwell though. As always, you must keep moving ever onward...

Everything in the Prism is quiet today. There's no new node opening itself to you. The archways you've encountered seem to be what's left. Even the central node is eerily silent, as though waiting for your next move.

You get the sense that explorations may be a bit more stifling now. Be careful where you stick your noses, just in case you don't like what you find. That's not meant to be discouraging, of course. Surely by now you've realized how far your free will can take you. But even before you leave the apartments, perhaps you'd like to pay a visit to the gumball machine in the lobby.

Your colors have changed several times upon entering this place. This past weekend is no exception. Some of you may have changed, and some of you may have stagnated. Worry not. It isn't as though it matters...does it? Your color isn't the only thing that makes you who you are, after all. There's...people, places, things, ideas. Memories that you've coveted throughout the years, things you've held near and dear, things that have guided you on this journey especially lately.

But now it seems that you're having a bit of trouble holding onto these things. Every now and then, you'll find that as you try to recall pieces of yourselves, those memories have simply faded away. What does your best friend look like? What's your favorite song? Better question...what's your name? You may find it easier to recall facts about other people, strangely enough. But as the week progresses your own memories tumble right between your fingertips, lost into the ether.

Hold on while you can.

As always, you may contact the residents at any time. They may even have a message for you.

Welcome to your week seven mingle for chroma!

Things of note:
► This week's effect is memloss. You knew this was coming. You've put so much of yourself and your feelings into the Prism...surely it makes sense to lose what you've given.
► The severity of memloss can be up to you. You can gradually start to lose your memories, or you can forget large parts of yourself as you see fit. You can even lose your name and come up with a cool codename like...Bass, Riff, Shale or Steel. Wow.
► While you are losing your own memories, memories you have of others and information they've shared with you seem to be still available to you. You will be able to recall names, faces, and their memories they've shared with you, but your own memories are harder to tap into and you'll have trouble recalling events and experiences you've been involved in.
► Although exploring locations as you have in past weeks may not yield results, you still may try to change things about the prism.
► More to come... keep your eyes and ears open.

MINI EVENT

[saturations]

MINI-EVENT WEEK SEVEN

A text arrives in the afternoon.

Something weird is happening in the back alley? Might want to come by. Also, in case you were worried, you don't have to fight me this week.

As you arrive in the back alley, you will see that there are a number of small tears that lead to their own gray spaces. But these tears are a little different. Inside, though dark murky gray, the air is shimmering with falling snow in different colors - red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, metallic and pink. If you step inside these tears, you'll find that, at least to a degree, you're able to change things in here by using color freely, and design them as you please.

The residents are already here!

"So, we had an idea. Creating something for ourselves using color seems like it might cost us part of ourselves. But there is something you did before that helped us. Maybe there's someone else we can help the same way?"

"After you designed homes for us, it stabilized our forms. Helped us to remember. There is something to be learned from this."

"Maybe by building us houses, you returned some of the color we lost to us? Steel's right, I felt a lot more stable after."

"Just...do your best, okay?"



If you step inside one of these tears, something a little strange happens. You'll see a little animal friend appear for a moment. You can't speak with them, but they'll greet you happily and then tell you a few words about the type of home they'd want before disappearing. Weird!

Welcome to your endgame week mini-event! We are designing homes yet again, but this time you will be designing homes based on the prompts on this list. There will be only one part to this mini-event, but as you can see, there are seventeen separate prompts. You can work on more than one prompt. You do not have to turn this in, but we ask that you try to participate and fill in what you did here, and we also ask that you please be OOCly kind to your friends and try to make sure every single prompt is getting a little bit of attention and things are spread out equally.

Your NPCs may pop up every now and then, but they will not be around for the entire duration of the event.

You can respond to this when it goes up, or later on. If you need someone to tag out a task with you, pop into the coordination channel on discord and ask!

As a note, there will also be a thing tonight at 8 PM EST.

first tear

[georeject]

[...]

What does "spiky" mean in this context...?

[RYUNOSUKE?]

But given the other specifications and his occupation... a place that can double as an office for his work might be good?

[aitou]

[Points at eyes, points at all the Japanese-style prompts....... I'm coming for you soon

But for now we're starting here in the second tear!! Making swords is, y'know, kind of second nature, so he will do that. They're all uchigatana, but that's probably fine.

...what about the house, yams]

[fretbro]

[when nobody is looking, bass scoots closer to these tears.

for the blue mouse, bass gently sets down a bright yellow cat figurine.

for the brown cat, bass gently sets a set of light up swords wherever there is space.]

[petalbursts]

[ ruby is coming through and patting both animals on the head! so cute!

also leaving matching stuffed animals in each of their houses uwu ]

SET TWO

[saturations]

There's a row of three tears close together.

Inside the first one, you'll find a cheetah wearing a green moto jacket and a long red scarf. He strikes a confident pose and says, Anything high up and by the sea - like a rest stop or shack on a cliffside overlooking the ocean! In addition, if asked, the cheetah will tell you he likes:

▶︎ Swords.
▶︎ Bloody?

Inside the second one, you'll find a white squirrel in a black coat, who sheepishly says, Somewhere small, modern and simple, but I'm still able to relax there. In addition, if asked, the squirrel will tell you he likes:

▶︎ Muted, as far as colors go; mostly greys and whites
▶︎ Minimalistic, no real decor
▶︎ A desk with a computer
▶︎ A simple bed
▶︎ A sofa somewhere
▶︎ A shelf, with maybe only a few books on it
▶︎ The squirrel seems uncertain; he’s never had a home before and doesn’t know what’s meant to go in it.

Inside the third one, there's a chestnut brown deer in a blue sailor dress with heart eye pupils. With a mischievous glint in her eyes, she tells you that she'd like her home Comfortable and modern.

Go go Cheetah

[brotograph]

Whoa wait. Blood?

[ How do you add blood to a place? ]

Sounds like they want a motorhome or a transport truck.

deer...

[chevaliered]

[ well. he's going to make a confident start using his colour to throw some of these around the place. ]

Figure you could put some photos with these -- that's kind of a cute idea, right?

white squirrel

[dms]

[ kazu approaches this squirrel with only a slight hesitation, tapping his chin. ]

Minimalism isn't really my strong suit, but it should be serviceable and still comfortable, right? And if they want something small, maybe a studio layout would work best?

tear one

[aitou]

[Oh I was on mobile I didn't see we were labeling things oops

Anyway obviously yams is here!!! Does he know what a cheetah is? No, but he knows what a Buzen is, and this cheetah gives him such strong Buzen vibes that he's obviously going to be here.

For this one, you can either catch him making swords--three of them this time, very specific--or doing his best to use color to create an ocean!! He's spent enough time at the beach here, he can probably figure it out.]

[fretbro]

[when nobody else is looking, bass comes and sets down presents.

for the cheetah, bass leaves a small collection of tech deck skateboards, all with pictures of sonic the hedgehog on them.

for the white squirrel, bass leaves a very fuzzy, soft blanket that is always warm.

for the brown deer, bass leaves a collection of cute hair ribbons.]

[petalbursts]

[ ruby is coming through and patting all the animals on the head! so cute!

also leaving matching stuffed animals in each of their houses uwu ]

Big open space to move around in. Chichi probably wants somewhere she can dance, right? Anybody know if you need anything special for that?

goat

[fleshedout]

Hm. You really would like a warm place.

[She murmurs, smiling faintly, before she starts her work. She is absolutely going to put up a little place where the goat can sit and do his makeup, here, three mirrors and all.]

I think he'd like having a selection of eyeliner...

wolf

[countermeasures]

[nooo, why are these animals so cute, jiuqing is trying really hard to resist patting them all on the head...

with a roll of 6 she can't quite resist and pats the wolf. anyway.]

Well, medical supplies and general aesthetics shouldn't be too difficult...

brown wolf in robes!

[decisions]

[ why is this wolf... so cute.... help.... ] Perhaps a cozy study for Chang Geng then...

[ which he will be setting up—a dark-wood low table with accents of red hidden within the curling designs at the edges. it is heavy, but not impossible to move, just enough to be solid, a foundation where one can begin to lay dozens of books, a few rigorous anatomy texts... ]

And perhaps some large windows and high ceilings? [ a small smile ] For the birds to come and go as they please if he wishes. A little nature never hurt anyone.

first tear

[aitou]

[China is not Japan, but yams is here doing his best... he can at least try to make a tea set and some tea, even though it's very obviously Japanese tea. It's fine.
