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!

ryunosuke

[withaswing]

[from here]

Oh... You look really young.

[For an attorney. Why is the image of an attorney an old person to her. It's fine.]

"But"....?

[naruhodope]

Ah, well—I'm still a student, for the most part.

[ it's fine. trust him with your life. ]

I mean... haven't you heard all the strange noises about?

[withaswing]

Oh.

[That makes more sense.]

It doesn't have to be ghosts or anything. It could be someone playing a prank on us.

[Nevermind the things people see later. IT'S FINE.]

[naruhodope]

I'm not sure that's better, frankly.

[ if this is all some joke, it's a really bad one. ]

B-But I don't know if everything that happens here can be explained by just a prank...

[ there's definitely ghosts afoot ]

damien

[withaswing]

You made it sound like you're use to seeing blood everywhere!

[highrisk]

I'm seeing blood where there's blood, that's all.

[withaswing]

Well, stop seeing blood! It's weird.

[:\]

What's your name?

[highrisk]

It's not weird to see what's there!

[ hejgfkghf ]

... It's Damien.

marceline

[withaswing]

Worms... don't kiss. You're the one who said it was gross!

[theampirequeen]

Well, yeah. Just because it's gross doesn't mean it doesn't happen?

[withaswing]

N--just--!

Why are we talking about worms kissing?! No more worm kissing discussion.

[theampirequeen]

Sure. Wanna talk about other kinds of kissing?

[ this is just funny to her. im not sorry ]

clarte

[withaswing]

[I guess the alley isn't very big, so they... just... go back through the archway? IDK. This is just 221B Baker Street.]

What...? Don't call it a competition!

[georeject]

[mystewy street]

My apologies. I thought some humour might help alleviate the situation.

[withaswing]

[apparently garou's a/b/o street awful]

This is slowly turning more and more into a nightmare.

[and the entire rest of later location changes hasn't even happened yet]

[petalbursts]

[ runs over!! ]

Me? Oh no, I just kind of woke up here? I think a lot of us did. [ she shivers as the distant voices and creepy sounds come around. ] This place gives me the creeps.

[withaswing]

[oh bless, thank you]

Yeah... I did, too. [:handshake:] Every place through an archway is weird and eerie.

[petalbursts]

That's true...[ frowns. ]

Everything about this...world is weird and eerie. Especially the lack of color, it's kind of sad.

roxana

[withaswing]

[Oh great, the place where she gets depression. Unfortunately, she doesn't know that yet. So she nods and starts marching.]

Um, do you know anyone else here, Roxana-san?

[disingenuous]

[ is not every place here depressing, chinatsu? Through the archway, she goes! ]

No, I haven't seen anyone I know. I don't know if anyone's I talked to has either.

[ Pretend this is before she talked to a sword or an elezen or anyone else with a castmate. ]

Do you?

[withaswing]

[fair, but LISTEN]

Oh... [Would she be happy or sad if Roxana knew someone here? It's hard to say.] No. I haven't seen anyone I know yet.

I guess it might just be me.

[Through the archway they come out at (throws dart) the mansion.]

vin

[withaswing]

Mmm.

[It's a pretty weird place. The things in the tubes are hella weird.]

I've never seen this exact place before, but... it looks like a creepy evil lab from a movie. Maybe it belongs to someone? Is there, um... I don't know, a book, or something?

[allomantic]

A... movie?

[confused, but also:]

What kind of book?

[withaswing]

Yeah. [Is this another cosplayer like Estinien?] Like… a play but you watch it on a screen.

Mmm. Like… a journal? Where the evil scientist writes down all their notes and plans.
