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!

for the excel nightmare

[from here

yeah jiuqing is super dead! right here during intro weekend. imagine if this was actually true.

it's not, because the mods would never allow me the sweet release of death this early. for her part, she's just looking at her new surroundings with surprise, and then glancing at the archway.

she'll give him a bit to come through.

the archway on the central node's side just sits there looking the way it does.]

[thejkdefense]

[It takes a solid minute for November to appear. When he does, he looks around, a tad puzzled by the arch he passed through just now, and takes a good look at himself]

I seem to be intact.

[Oh hey, Jiuqing]

Any ill effects from passing through this, Su?

[countermeasures]

None that I've noticed.

[her limbs are all intact, she has no aches or pains, etc.]

And you?

[thejkdefense]

[November nods]

No external anomalies, as far as I can tell.

[If there are any problems they have to be internal. Maybe he's missing his liver! If he topples over and dies you'll know something went wrong, Jiuqing, so keep an eye on that]

Perhaps you could take solace on this. This means we're not forced to stay in that desolate location and have the freedom to move.

[countermeasures]

That's true...

[she eyes the archway with interest]

If there are more of these, we'll want to go through them, I think. If only to familiarize ourselves with the areas we have access to.

[thejkdefense]

I wonder if these can be destroyed.

[He says that as an offhand comment, but he's rather interested in that. Who knows what could happen in the future. If at any point something happens and cutting off access to some place is necessary, destroying the arch seems like a way to do that]

[countermeasures]

Most things can be if you try hard enough, I think, but we'd want to be cautious about how we do it, because we run the risk of some of us getting trapped if we destroy it while not realizing that someone is already on this side of it...

[thejkdefense]

Oh, you're not wrong. It may be something to remember for the future, though. You never know what may happen.

[countermeasures]

I suppose that's true.
