WEEKEND ZERO: OVERFLOW

[saturations]

WOW

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!

[ original tl thisaway! ]

[ i. gotta go fast - anywhere ]

[he's running. he's a blur. he's not stopping - buzen probably laps you about twice with the pace that he seems to be just doing loops around the available locations!! though when he runs past you for the third time - it occurs to him to stop]

Hello!! Pardon, friend - [you're friends now] but where am I? Why am I colorblind now?

[sure he'll get right to it]

[ ii. baby it's cold outside - anywhere ]

[it's COLD and buzen is doing those little hops that jocks do when they're trying to keep warm before a race.]

Chilly, huh... [still he laughs a bit and will offer you a glance] Staying warm alright? Need another jacket?

[he's asking like he isn't also cold but it's fine]

[ iii. the temple ]

[so about those shadows wandering the area - buzen is just going to keep trying to creep closer to them, up until they disappear right before his eyes. he repeats this multiple times. in fact there might be a shadow nearer to you and he's just going to mouth from afar and start gesturing before he just whispers loudly]

Catch it!

[bitch how]

[ iv. wildcard me!!! ]

[throw anything at me and i'll catch it with my teeth!!!!]

bubble-san

[hasteful]

[ from here ]

Sadly not.

[BUZEN STILL DOESN'T KNOW HE HAS CASTMATES and he never will]

Have you seen any familiar faces?

[experimint]

Yeah, Marceline. She's cool. Haven't seen anyone else though...

[ hm... ]

So if you don't know anyone, then we probably weren't brought in pairs then.

ad lib-san (no)

[hasteful]

[ from here ]

Oh! So someone who tells good jokes to keep the crowd engaged... That's impressive.

Tsuru-san sounds like he'd be good at that.

[he's assigning tsuru clown]

[dms]

Exactly!

So Tsuru-san's a friend of yours, huh? He must be pretty funny if he could pull off something like that!

traveler-san like this is fucking genshin impact

[hasteful]

[ from here ]

[that makes him grin]

Depends on who you ask.

I think they're more common than people think - but I can't blame anyone if they're afraid of what they don't understand.

[allomantic]

[frowning slightly, confused]

...How can they not believe in it? Are they invisible somehow?

tomato-san (no)

[hasteful]

[ from here ]

Asleep...?

Not that I can recall - why do you ask?

[withaswing]

[TOMATO-SAN?? STOP]

Because this seems like a dream, and I was asleep before I woke up here.

atsu-san

[hasteful]

[ from here ]

[???????

he was going to introduce himself but he's thoroughly distracted]

Huh? You don't need to apologize for something like that -

I felt reassured! I appreciated your certainty. If anything I'd want to say thank you.

[moonlightbeast]

[Oh, well if Buzen is saying it's fine then he'll relax a bit.]

Well, if it was reassuring, then alright. Thank you for your vote of confidence?

what the hell is this man saying

[hasteful]

[ from here ]

[



he's truly taking a few moments just to understand what this man is saying, but he's doing his best]

Oh! Don't worry about that... I don't think I'll be... tarry.

[????]

I was just going to scout around this area again - but I can do that after we chat!

i don't know

[disestablishment]

[ Hm...... A lot of people kind of pause after he speaks is what he's getting. ]

Were you? I'd like to have myself a scour as well, if you would let me accompany you. We can chat on the journey.

doctor-san

[hasteful]

[ from here ]

Your nicest? Were you in the middle of something important?

[a ceremony.....]

Ah! I see - doctor or physician... That's good to know. There's some people who're hurt here... If you find any spare clean bandages, could you show me where they came from? I want to distribute them where I can.

I don't know much about that sort of thing... but I've at least got hands and legs to carry stuff around!

[impurities]

A reunion, of sorts. I'd been traveling far from home for some time, and found out that I was going to be meeting with someone I hadn't seen in years.

[ the simple explanation. yifu.... ]

I'll make sure to, if you do the same. If there's more injured here, and our supplies are particularly limited, we need to make sure we keep stock of them and get them distributed to those who need it...

But thank you - any help is always good help to have. [ and this is why he goes trying to salvage sheets. ] Ah, if we have to find each other. My name is Chang Geng.

n...not??? d??r/?ui??d??-san??

[hasteful]

[ from here ]

Oh? Then let's go!

[he seems perfectly pleased with this]

Normally I head out on my own - but it'll be nice to have company. Let me know if I go too fast for you!

[like sonic]

im in tears

[daggering]

What, you think I can't keep up?

[ this is playful riling - he's not at all offended - but puts his hands in his pockets to join him! onwards. ]

ro-san

[hasteful]

[ from here ]

[there's something about that statement that manages to make buzen's expression flicker for a second, thinking of something else, before he smiles softly]

... well, let's make sure to stay healthy and at ease for as long as possible anyway.

sleepy-san

[hasteful]

[ from here ]

[ . . . . ????? ]

I suppose not... but I'm here, and I heard you were tired, and this is what I want to do.

So I didn't really think much further than that.

[NO thoughts]

queen of the vampires-san

[hasteful]

[ ]

Oh!!

[he squints up at the sky now]

... but how will we be able to tell when the sun is coming out so we can make sure you're inside?

doctor su-san

[hasteful]

[ from here ]

Doctor Su, then.

[ . . . though his expression does turn a bit apologetic]

... I'm sorry if I brought up something unpleasant. I'm not familiar with the details of the court - but it sounds complicated.

suki-kun (violent)

[hasteful]

[ from here ]

Oh? That's a good skill to have!

[YOU KNOW

BUILDING A SENSE OF COMMUNITY

NOT NECESSARILY BEING A SLUT]

I can't say I'd complain though. If people stayed in more of the same areas, it'd be easier for me to protect everyone.

mari-san

[hasteful]

[ from here ]

[




hmm]

I'm going to lift you. Is that alright?

shy-san

[hasteful]

[ from here ]

... I'm afraid I don't understand the question.

eventually nyan-san

[hasteful]

[ from here ]

[this is top 10 most confusing things you could say to buzen gou]

Eh...? No?

Is it so strange to want to cooperate?
