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!

[November smirks]

Sure.

[He almost hopes he's right and it's someone who got locked there, hah]
aitou: (And ask me your questions)

[HE LOOKS LIKE HE'S READY TO CHARGE FORWARD!!

But before he does, he looks back at November.]


...But if it's something evil that was sealed on purpose, we don't want to unleashed it while we're unarmed... [he's talking himself in circles]

[November was more than ready to follow along! At a somewhat safe distance, admittedly, but at least he wasn't going to abandon him to his luck. True, he got someone else in potential trouble but at least he's not going to wash his hands off this.

At least until that thought came across. Hmmmm...November is pretty confident in combat, but there's a lack of water here. Touching the spirit probably won't do much good because he wouldn't be able to freeze it. The river is too far to be of use, and he can't use the moisture of the air. Hmmmmmm...what an issue, what an issue]


Let's see...

[November looks around. There's overgrowth. Ah, plants...not his preferred weapon for a fight but leaves have enough water in them to at least be of some use. While he's examining them, he asks:]

So, how confident are you in a fight against an evil spirit?

[There's a long pause as Yasusada considers how to answer. He really shouldn't say anything, but it doesn't feel right to leave a human to take charge, especially one who doesn't look like a swordsman. Hngh... maybe he can play it off...]

Normally it would be fine. But I don't have my sword with me, so it'll be a lot harder to manage...

Perhaps something with longer range than a sword may be prudent. Any skill with that?

[November takes a few leaves, looking pretty calm. He doesn't try to use his power yet, which is why he doesn't notice until later that he can't use cryogenic powers anymore. Still, he gathers leaves with the purpose of freezing them to use them as throwing knives, that was his intention]
aitou: (Tell you I'm sorry)

[personal profile] aitou 2022-02-13 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
Like--[wait it's modern day he can't say archers]--uh, guns...? No, I can't use them.

[November can gather leaves if he wants to. Yasusada won't question this weird choice, it's totally fine.]

[personal profile] thejkdefense 2022-02-13 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
Any luck with throwing knives?

[He sure wouldn't mind providing some frozen leaves for Yasusada for fighting purposes once push comes to shove, although he'd refuse to answer any questions about how he did that, haha. It'd have been such a cool moment but unfortunately for him the powers are nerfed so there's no cool moment for November 11]

aitou: (In the middle of the storm)

[personal profile] aitou 2022-02-13 06:17 am (UTC)(link)
No, just my sword. But I could try.

[He at least wouldn't fail terribly, probably?? But it's definitely nowhere near his realm of expertise. But it's fine, because poor November doesn't get to look cool anyway, how sad...]

[personal profile] thejkdefense 2022-02-13 04:37 pm (UTC)(link)
That's good enough.

[He says that and in his head he decides he'll keep everything under control himself, without relying on Yasusada here too much. Oh well.

Satisfied with his own preparations he nods at his temporary investigation partner]


Let's crack that door open.
aitou: (I will set the mirror up)

[personal profile] aitou 2022-02-13 07:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Here, I'll go first. You can attack from behind, if we have to fight?

[Even if he's UNARMED he still can't, in good conscience, let a human go ahead of him... November clearly seems to know how to fight to some degree, but still. Yasusada doesn't know he's nerfed either, so nobody gets to have their cool moment in this temple today]

[November already has a leaf in his closed fist. He nods, taking his position. One look at him makes clear he's tensed up, ready to move at the first sign of trouble -- and most likely it will be to attack]
