WEEKEND ZERO: OVERFLOW

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 [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!

[ from here ]

Sadly not.

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

Have you seen any familiar faces?

[personal profile] experimint 2022-02-12 06:07 pm (UTC)(link)
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.
hasteful: (➛ please don't go away)

[personal profile] hasteful 2022-02-12 07:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh! It's good to have a companion with you. I'm glad.

[he never got marceline's name i hate this as well]

But I don't think so... If any of my companions were here, we likely would've found each other by now. I could recognize their barks from miles away!

[ she nods in understanding. ]

Yeah, barks are like that. Pretty loud.

But it's fine, people here have been super helpful.
hasteful: (➛ where it all ends)

[personal profile] hasteful 2022-02-12 07:52 pm (UTC)(link)
They have, right? And there's two doctors! I'm so relieved.

[he knew nOTHING about human repairs]

Really? Who?

[



buzen is the only person she asked for their name. ]
hasteful: ((don't go away))

[personal profile] hasteful 2022-02-12 08:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[bubble-san why]

Doctor Su - a woman wearing many layers of ceremonial-looking robes. And Chang Geng-san... who is a man wearing many layers of ceremonial-looking robes.

[ . . . ]

That's probably a coincidence?
experimint: (pic#15423417)

[personal profile] experimint 2022-02-12 08:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Or it's a doctor cult.

[ a nod. ]

Well, as long as they used their cult knowledge for our benefit, it should be fine.
hasteful: (➛ that i'd like to pursue)

[personal profile] hasteful 2022-02-12 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
A doctor cult!

[




i'm seizing this opportunity]


What's a cult?
experimint: (pic#15423337)

[personal profile] experimint 2022-02-13 03:49 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, they're totally whack. It's when a bunch of people form a group over some ideal, but it's usually all twisted and a lot of the time murder happens.

[ she shakes her head ]

Just don't join cults, man.
experimint: (pic#15424378)

[personal profile] experimint 2022-02-13 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
[ she nods solemnly. ]

Good. Don't follow other people's mistakes.
hasteful: (➛ and they all gotta share it)

[personal profile] hasteful 2022-02-13 08:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[sweats internally]

Haha, well... I'll do my best to minimize any mistakes to begin with.
experimint: (pic#15457008)

[personal profile] experimint 2022-02-13 08:37 pm (UTC)(link)
But we can run on the assumption these are some normie doctors instead of weird ones. So it's probably okay.

Or else.
