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!

I am certainly not a deity of any sort, no.

[this is just a normal leadership job to have?]

[IS IT??? He looks more surprised by that than he was when he thought this dude was some god.]

Eh, seriously? Normally it's the gods and suuuper high-ranking spirits that deal with those kinda jobs... I mean, at least that's how things are where I'm from.

Well, as there are certainly no gods in my world, I suppose it is only natural we would perform such tasks ourselves. 'Tis our duty to oversee the world, for its betterment and well-being.
slashay: (telltale)

Ooh... So you basically just do the same things they'd do if you had one, then?

[Somehow, it doesn't seem to be much of a stretch for him to fathom this leap in differences between where they come from.]

Sounds like a pretty important job, either way.

Mayhap so, but we've no need of them, regardless.

[it's fine it's fine it's fine.]

But it is, yes. Being offered such a position is among our highest honors.
slashay: (take a break take me down)

[IS IT? IS IT??? Kashuu just nods a little and doesn't bother pressing it since surely this guy knows if his world is fine without gods.]

How d'you end up with it? Just by being, like, an exemplary citizen or something?
