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!

Yeah! It's enough to get you fired up like the real deal! Making sure that everyone is happy and having a good time, it's almost as good as getting to clash steel for real!

[THE FACT THAT HE HASN'T NOTICED ANYTHING FUCKING STRANGE ABOUT THESE STATEMENTS]

[slashay]

[ABSOLUTELY HATE IT HERE. Kashuu at least has like, a slight braincell?? And picks up on the fact that this is strange???? But he's run into a lot of weapons users here, so...]

Like the real deal, huh? Hey, are you some kinda swordsman, then?

[hasteful]

Hah, I am - though it's hard to really say with confidence since they've taken my sword from me...

[yeah that's more or less the feeling he's going through]

[slashay]

[THEY ARE SO CLOSE. THEY ARE SO CLOSE!!!!!]

Ooh... Hey, y'know? I am, too. [His head cants to the side a little like he's sizing Buzen up.] What kinda sword? I can help you look.

[hasteful]

An uchigatana.

[he doesn't explain further bc surely all humans know different types of swords]

[slashay]

[Yeah is that not a normal thing to know?? He just nods though because he is definitely a normal human who knows these things.]

Anything stand out about it? What kinda sheath and tsuba are we looking at?

[hasteful]

[they're acing this human thing]

Haha! Those are good questions - you know it's a sword that's rarely been seen. Probably because it's so fast.

[DON'T JUST PRAISE YOURSELF IN THE THIRD PERSON]

[slashay]

[THEY'RE FAILING IT REALLY BADLY. Kashuu arches a brow but just... nods... slowly... Sure, sure, sounds legit.]

O-kay, so. Uchigatana and that's all we got, huh? Does it have a name?

[hasteful]

[






fuck his sword can't be buzen if he's buzen]

No.

[slashay]

Oh... That's kinda sad, y'know? You should give it a name when you can. If it could say thanks for it, it definitely would!

[Kashuu the normal human says to Buzen the normal human, whose sword is definitely not also named Buzen.]

[hasteful]

Mm, I know -

[he does! as a sword who isn't sure of his own existence, sometimes a name is the only thing you have]

... well, I want to make sure it's something special. And memorable.

[slashay]

Well! If you already have the kinda mindset you need to think about your sword's name like this, then it'll turn out fine.

[Stop having this much faith in strangers KASHUU.]

But okay, okay - I'll keep an eye out! Maybe there's a stockpile of weapons somewhere around here.
