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!

does that make estinien the daddy.....

[nightchild]

Memories? You mean like... ghosts of the past?

[Itsuki puts a hand on his hip, but he's just doing that so that Marie can grab ahold of him again if she wants to, you know just in case she's scared of ghosts.]

LIKE... THE BABY DADDY OR???????

[classmate]

[ She does grab onto him because I want to. ]

Ghosts don't exist, though!!

NO I MEANT LIKE... THE SLUT IN CHARGE!!!

[nightchild]

[HEHEHEHEHE]

Hmmmm... What if I told you that I've seen a ghost before?

[classmate]

I'd question why you're so cruel.

[nightchild]

It was a friendly ghost! Really nice! And super cute, though not as cute as you.

[kills itsuki]

[classmate]

[ She pulls her hands away. ]

I see. That's what you were doing. [ huff ] Kagami-san...

[nightchild]

Sorry, sorry. I felt a little bad for scaring you.

[really!!]

What did you mean by memories?

[classmate]

Mhm.

[ He's exactly like Kobato. He'd probably do everything in his power to startle her!! ]

Like I'm sure that at one point in time there were children who cried here? Maybe this area just... absorbed that? I don't know how to explain it without it sound like ghosts do exist.

[nightchild]

[noooo he would never.....]

I was about to say. [STILL SOUNDS LIKE GHOSTS] But I think I kind of get it. A lot of places have history, and that history can manifest in different ways.

[classmate]

But it's definitely not ghosts.

[nightchild]

Got it, definitely not ghosts.

[marie is so cute :'(]

[classmate]

Jokes aside, this place just proves to be a bigger mystery at every corner. At least where I’m from we’d have someone pointing us in the right direction, but here…

[ Sighs. ]

She’d probably be stumped, too, actually.

[nightchild]

Is this friend of yours good with maps or something?

[more importantly, is she just as cute]

[classmate]

She's a virtualdoll.

[ χ is cute though. ]

She can basically do anything... like open doors and create an invisible train. I'm sure that she'd tell us exactly where to go in order to get out of here.

[nightchild]

Those are some pretty specific skills...

[the way itsuki's desperately trying to learn so that he can bond with marie,]

Is that normal for virtuedolls? [VIRTUAL]

[classmate]

[ He's trying... ]

This is the first time I'm meeting one, honestly? But they can just.. control worlds so long as they're popular so I want to say yes?

[nightchild]

Control worlds as long as they're popular...?

[is that like.... democracy, except different]

I'm never heard of one person having that kind of power. [wait no, there probably are but itsuki doesn't know real world events]

[classmate]

I just try not to think about it too hard.

[ She's got other things to worry about! Honestly! ]

A virtual world must sound strange to you, hm?

[nightchild]

Yeah. [YEAH!] Actually, I don't know what the word virtual means.

[classmate]

I can tell.

[nightchild]

I thought I was doing a pretty good job...

[u cut him to the quick....]

[classmate]

What is the date where you're from, Kagami-san?

[nightchild]

Pretty sure it's Taishō 8. Why?

[classmate]

[ ??? ]

This makes sense. You’re about 900 years away from seeing virtual reality… [ said like he’s gonna be alive one day to see that shit ]

[nightchild]

[love makes all things possible]

Nine hundred years and we're still hanging in there? Good for us.
