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!

[ no, being social is fucking hard

he nods and heads into the mansion cautiously. it's dirty and gross??? ]


Ugh.
georeject: (sprite; thinking.)

[hm.]

... Yeah, this is going to take a bit of effort.

At least we weren't brought here just to clean this place up. Christ, it looks like no one's been here in a century.
georeject: (portrait; smile.)

Haha... I can't imagine too many of us being eager cleaners, so that's for the best. Well, at least if it's been abandoned, no one's going to mind you lounging around as you please.

I think anyone would have bigger priorities. Like suddenly having like thirty more people at their door.

[ there are. more than thirty people here, but he hasn't counted everyone. close enough? ]
georeject: (sprite; thinking.)

[personal profile] georeject 2022-02-13 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
It'd be quite the unexpected party, yes. At least they wouldn't really be able to blame us.

... Might be better to have a host, though.

[ he kicks at some rubble. this sucks. ]
georeject: (art2; :thinking:)

[personal profile] georeject 2022-02-13 08:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Hah... yes, if only for some answers.

These people usually want to brag about the awful shit they do, so I doubt they'll resist for long.
georeject: (sprite; thinking.)

[personal profile] georeject 2022-02-14 03:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Do you have a lot of experience with these kinds of people?
georeject: (art2; :thinking:)

[personal profile] georeject 2022-02-14 08:29 pm (UTC)(link)
... I'm sorry to hear that. It must be difficult.

[ he is so unsure of what to do with an apology that he just kind of ignores it? ]

Just have to figure out a way to get leverage.
