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!

( start )

Food and medical supplies - or improvised supplies, if nothing else. We've had some arrive injured, but we have nothing to treat them with. [ tsk, he pushes the chair leg into the fire proper when he sees that it stays ignited. ] Just some bandages made from strips of fabric that are hardly clean that I've torn off sheets.

Erm...

[ That should be an easy enough list, but there's a tentative air to 9S' demeanor nonetheless. ]

... Got it. Fabric shouldn't be that hard—I think. But I'm not as familiar with what stuff you'd eat.

[ that makes him tilt his head, and he does look at him properly. the blindfold hasn't fazed him one bit - he's fairly certain 9S can see just fine, considering he was assessing the fire. ]

Do you not typically eat?

[ With a shake of his head: ]

No, I don't need to. I'm fine without it.

[


huh.
]

This place gets more and more interesting, the more people I talk to. [ in that case... ] Are you more familiar with medical supplies, weapons, or water sources, then?

[ saving those probing questions of "what" and "how" for later! ]

[ "Interesting", yeah. You're telling him. ]

Weapons, sure, but if I'm being honest here, I don't know anything about medicine.

That's fine, then. If you'd like to learn, I can help with that, but we can focus on finding ways to defend ourselves from... well, whatever's lurking in those shadows.

[ because he doesn't trust them! no one should! ]
