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!

[ That gets a smile from Roxana, oddly enough. ]

And if it was an accident but the only way to return was through killing?

[georeject]

That's an oddly specific scenario. [hmm] Well, I don't want to return home so much that I'd murder an unwilling innocent for it, especially without trying to find an alternate solution first.

[disingenuous]

[ It's a thought experiment. Also, her family is fucked up, but you know this. ]

Let's hope the solution to this problem is peaceful. It is a little tiring to have to fight.

[georeject]

[roxana your family :pensive:]

Do you have to fight often? That's unfortunate... but I'd agree.

[disingenuous]

In a manner of speaking. It isn't all physical. My family is a little competitive.

[georeject]

[well that sounds concerning]

... Against others or each other?

[disingenuous]

[ it's probably fine. ]

Both. It doesn't matter so much here. Peaceful solutions would be beneficial for us all.

[georeject]

Yes... It's not likely to work out that way, but it'd be nice if it could, all the same.

[disingenuous]

Mm.

[ agreed on all counts. ]

We're not left with many things to defend ourselves with.

[ if they must fight. ]

[georeject]

Mm... in the event of a fight, we might have to get creative.

[disingenuous]

Unless someone is particularly good at hand-to-hand.

[ Which she isn't. ]

[georeject]

I'm comfortable with it, but I wouldn't consider myself the best without my magic.

[disingenuous]

Perhaps this will be a chance to become better at it.

[ The reason for it may suck, but hey? Free time to boost your stats without whatever kind of gameplay restrictions Another Eden has. ]

[georeject]

And what about you?

[disingenuous]

... I suppose if someone is willing to teach here, I can try to learn. Most of the time, I can disarm because of how I look.

[ The number of people who get stunned by her beauty is not low. ]

[georeject]

[valid]

I suppose you do have the sort of appearance that people wouldn't usually associate with a fighter. I can try and teach you a few things if you'd like, although I'm probably not the best for it.

[disingenuous]

[ thank u for acknowledging she's a waif and her abysmal constitution, clarte. ]

I'd like to learn from you.

[georeject]

[yw clarte also got told here they don't look like they can throw a punch, they get it]

Then, feel free to hit me up whenever you're ready. I'll do my best.
