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!

I had hoped to ask you the same question, but I suppose he is nowhere to be found. Certainly we would have seen him by now-- I've no doubt he would be searching for you in turn.

[and since everyone else here is so small... well. he'd be very easy to spot.]

It seems that somehow, we two may be the only ones transported here. Passing strange, as you were not with us before.

[meteion]

Everyone else has said... he is probably around. [ Anxiously rubs at her hands, wings droopy and all, you have gained +1 sad and anxious bird! ]

No... I wasn't. [ ahem, she knows why but he... doesn't seem upset with her? or angry? so, she will take it and not say any more than she has for now. don't need to get him angry again. ]

What of the others here with us...? [ there are other People than them. ] I've never seen... any of them before. Some are kind though. Friendly. But...

[ now she looks like she's about to be scolded. ] My abilities are blocked. I can't use them.

[ktiseos]

[oh, have they now. he frowns at that-- it only makes things worse, to put off the realization in such a way, but now they're just going to have to deal with that. along with everything else about the situation.]

You are stifled, as well...? Curious. Then I suppose whatever is at work here affects more than aether.

[good to know.]

Those gathered here are strange, to be certain, but while you need not avoid them entirely... be cautious of them. I have been unable to determine most of their origins. They should, however, be largely willing to aid in freeing us all of this place, at which point we may return you to Hermes to correct whatsoever may have altered your composition.

[your SIZE, meteion, you are SO small.]

[meteion]

That's... bad, isn't it?

[ it seems Bad. nothing good. not being able to use her abilities, it's strange. it's like a part of her missing. it does not feel good. ]

Okay... Thank you, Emet-Selch. [ yeah, she's still in a bit awe in how much taller he is. she's small but she hasn't felt This Small before? help. ]
