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!

emet-selch

[georeject]

[from here]

I... see. Sounds complicated.

[ktiseos]

An imposition, more than anything-- though it is still troubling that she would be here and not those I was speaking with.

[and now he's going to have to babysit.]

[georeject]

[clarte doesn't know who emet means but be nice to their new friend :/ ]

I don't know if there's any pattern so far, especially since I wasn't with anyone last I recall... I've met one other person who has a friend here, though.

[ktiseos]

[he will he's just going to be like this about it first.]

Have you...? Hm. I doubt there is enough to establish a conclusive pattern, or any reason we would all find ourselves here, but mayhap it will be worth bearing in mind.

[georeject]

True. We really don't know much at all, right now. Perhaps it's merely random.

[ktiseos]

That is, I believe, the most frustrating aspect of this. To be brought here at what may well be random, and for no apparent reason...

[a huff of a breath.]

[georeject]

Well... patience is a virtue. Hopefully, we'll learn more soon. Ideally before supplies run out, as well.

[ktiseos]

Ideally, yes. Otherwise, with the number of us present... that may present more difficulty than anything else.

[georeject]

Well, I'd be happy to give up my rations, but that'd really only be a short-term solution. Still, I can't imagine we were brought here just to starve.

[ktiseos]

Nor can I, but that hardly means it cannot happen.

[just one of many things to bear in mind, here.]

Particularly if it turns out not to have been purposeful. Some form of accident bringing us here.

[georeject]

An accident...?

[ktiseos]

'Tis still within the realm of possibility, for the time being. Until we know more of what brought us here, there is naught we can say with absolute certainty.

I doubt it, myself, but it must be borne in consideration nevertheless.

[georeject]

True. It doesn't hurt to keep every possibility in mind.

Though I do hope there's someone or something behind this, if only to provide a more direct avenue to return us home.

[ktiseos]

As do I. If there is not, it will only make our work that much more difficult.

But I intend to carry it out, regardless.

[georeject]

Indeed. It'd be rather unfortunate for everyone to be trapped here. Hopefully we can get them all back to where they belong.
