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!

[from here]

Indeed. Let's hope we can obtain something usable...

[to the sad, sad kitchen...]

[ AND THE KITCHEN IS... ]

... Heavens.

[ ff14 talk: oof ]

... Heavens indeed. [oof] A part of me isn't sure this was even a kitchen.

[ me somehow missing this tag ]

It… Has some semblance.

[ He can make out what should be a stove? Or is it an oven. These are definitely cabinets. He will open one!! ]

What are the chances the laboratory is filled with gadgets while the kitchen is without pots?
georeject: (f; 5.)

[personal profile] georeject 2022-02-13 08:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Heh... well, I can't say luck has been on our side, for us to even be here.

... May the Fates be kind.

[ There... Are... Pots. Yes. They're not pretty, but there are pots because the mods said we can boil water. Aymeric starts appraising.

Frowning.




Frowning so deeply. He looks so sad.

[ The mods. Sighs....... ]

While usable, these are in terrible condition.

A fitting proverb. We are already pooling water from puddles, as it were.

[ He isn't that solemn over the water part as much as the pots being sad. Anyway, they can try to gather some water? And attempt to boil. ]

'Tis not retaining any heat no matter how much the fire roars. Could it still be considered a boil?
georeject: (sprite; thinking.)

[personal profile] georeject 2022-02-14 03:38 pm (UTC)(link)
... That's a good question... I think it's technically boiling?
disestablishment: (pic#15455035)

[personal profile] disestablishment 2022-02-14 06:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Technically.

[ They can wait a little longer before pulling it out and it is still... Grey water. Pot no hot. Squints. ]

Does it look any different?
georeject: (peek.)

[personal profile] georeject 2022-02-14 08:10 pm (UTC)(link)








No, I don't think so.

Will you have a taste? I'll join you.

[ WE DIE TOGETHER I GUESS ]

Why not? Can't be worse than the last time.

[ Cheers! They can drink. ]

'Tis... [ Hm. ] Unlike water.

georeject: (sprite; thinking.)

[personal profile] georeject 2022-02-16 02:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[cheers!]

It's drinkable, at least...?
