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!

Ah, I see - so it's a fairly common companion for you by now. How are you feeling without it?

[vedrskogul]

[ He frowns about this. Honestly? It feels kind of strange, and he'd rather not address the lack of weight upon his back, no arms to fight with, no aura akin to a nuclear impact ready at his fingertips. ]

As comfortable as anyone would feel deprived of a weapon to defend themselves with, in a foreign land.

[hasteful]

[ah - buzen's expression settles on sympathetic at that. he wonders if it's because, as a weapon, he wonders what the bond between master and their preferred lance is but....]

You can say that again. Hopefully we'll both be able to find what's been taken from us -

Though I wonder if they think they have some kind of edge on us for leaving us without them?

[vedrskogul]

[ Bruh the lore here is way more than Buzen ever signed up for actually. ]

Naturally, it means we're at a disadvantage without weaponry. Granted, 'tis also questionable why they wouldn't strip me of my armour while at it.

[ Except someone is definitely dying if they also took his armour. HIS SHIT. ]

[hasteful]

Hmm.... It took too long to take it from you?

[a beat]

Well, both my sword and its scabbard were removed from my person so that's less likely.

[vedrskogul]

A scabbard isn't so tightly wound on its wearer normally, is it.

[ Though, he looks at this guy again. Well, he seems his world's equivalent of Doman or Yanxian. ]

I suppose I wouldn't know how a samurai wields their sword, if that's your profession.
