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!

[ ah.

he doesn't seem surprised, and just. comes over to see the fingie.
]

Well, it could be worse. Let me guess - the heatless fireplace?

Chyeah! [ she laughs a bit ] Also I'm not that affected by fire normally. Woops.

[ it's just the tip that's burnt, so at least she didn't stick her whole ass hand in ]

[ thank fuck? he doesn't poke it, but does deem that it's... probably fine. ]

A few people seem to be cut off from what they would normally expect. [ what's that like? he shakes his head a little. ] As long as you keep it clean, it should heal fine.
theampirequeen: (sorry im not made of sugar)

Obviously. Some guy totally thought my skin would fall off though. That would've been crazy for one blister.

[ it is a little more than one blister, but also, why does she think that's funny ]

[ why does she think that's funny? he's not asking. ]

... well. Some aren't exposed to injuries that much, but that's - probably a very gullible person.

Maybe he's just not used to having skin.

I feel like this is perhaps a unique experience that I am not qualified to theorize on, actually, miss.

Most people where I'm from that are able to speak don't tend to be skinless through conventional means.
theampirequeen: (why do i want to?)

[personal profile] theampirequeen 2022-02-16 12:22 am (UTC)(link)
Ha, lucky. Skinless people are super gross.

They are very gross, yes. I luckily don't have to deal with them often, so it would be better to not see them here, also.

[ very helpful ]
