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!

[ 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.

[hasteful]

Oh! [wow that's really emotional actually? buzen looks surprised and then he frowns] Then let's get you back! The sooner the better! It's someone you really wanted to see, right?

Of course, of course. I wouldn't ask anyone to do something I wouldn't do myself. [he just grins easily at that] I'm Buzen! It's nice to meet you Chang-san.

[a beat]

Eh, is that alright...? I'm learning a lot of different kinds of names here, but I don't know how to shorten all of them...

[impurities]

[ the surprise is... touching? something like that. ] It is. I think it's easier said than done, getting home right now - not that I'm going to just sit around and wait, though.

[ absolutely not. ]

But I believe so, yes. [ laughing, a little. ] I don't know the language as well as one of my companions does, but Chang-san should be right. And I don't mind it, anyways.

So nice to meet you, Master Buzen.

[hasteful]

[????????????]

Who's - ehhh? Buzen is fine! [immediately just going to wave his hands as if to dispel any remnants of 'master' lingering phew] I've never been a Master and I'd be surprised if I ever will be!

We should get along working together, right? So let's be friendly!
