chroma | 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

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!

[He's nailing this being human thing, hell yeah.]

Makes sense to me! I think there's a certain level of peace that comes along with just watching people go through an average day, right? Nothing super crazy to worry about, nothing really wild interrupting their lives.

[Like being KIDNAPPED.]

Exactly!

[He's so glad to have found Kashuu, he understands!]

Which is all the more reason for us to find a way out of here and get back to our lives, yeah?

[Understanding Things is fortunately something he excels at when it comes to interpersonal matters! Not braincell matters, though. Trials are going to end his life.]

Hah, yeah... This is definitely a pretty rude way to interrupt someone's daily grind, y'know?

[RIP to everyone who comes from normie places...]

Any luck finding clues, speaking of? Where've you been looking so far?

Nothing yet. I looked through the carnival but just found a really rude man and a bunch of stale food.

A rude man... [What kind of luck is that... Kashuu's run into a couple of rude people here too, though, so:] Did he have, like, white hair?

With the spiky hair, yeah. That's him.

Oh... I don't think his hair was really that spiky.

[They are perhaps thinking of two separate rude men with white hair. Wow.]

What'd your guy look like?

Very big and muscular, and he liked picking fights.

Are you talking about the one who has to be like three meters tall?

Oh, no, that guy was fine even if he was super weird about his height.

[Will anyone ever figure out that Emet's actually shrunk, the world will never know...]

I'm talking about the one who's really serious and grumpy and wearing like, head-to-toe armor.

Oh, that guy. I haven't talked to him yet.

He's not too bad, to be fair. Just, like, suuuper no-nonsense.

[Kashuu can talk to almost anyone, but it doesn't mean he has the best time talking to the people where it's like pulling teeth to have a conversation.]

There's a difference between no-nonsense and being rude. The other guy threw food at me.

[ATSUSHI.]

That's not being rude, that's being a total asshole! Why the hell'd he do something like that?

No clue. You would have to ask him that. But I'm sure the answer is stupid.

I'll tell him off for you next time I see him.

[He's decided it's his job to defend Atsushi's honor, apparently.]

[Wait no-]

Th-that's not necessary, you don't need to do the extra effort for me.

He was a total jerk to you! It's not like it's extra effort to tell someone to not throw food at people, y'know.

[ATSUSHI DEFENSE SQUAD.]

But I really don't want you to get punched for my sake!

Have a little more faith in me!

[IN HE, THIS TWINK STRANGER that Atsushi has only just met.]

I won't let a jerk like that punch me.

PLEASE don't go starting fights! Even if you can handle it, it's better to have no fights at all!

[He is struggling to put faith in the twink stranger he just met.]

He started it...

[HE DIDN'T START ANYTHING WITH KASHUU?? But apparently starting shit with Atsushi is starting shit with Kashuu, now.]

Buuut I guess if that's what you want, I'll leave him alone. If he does anything else, though, no promises.

If he starts a fight, then finish it. No questions asked.

[Wow Atsushi has a vicious streak maybe?]

[THIS IS ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS. HE LOVES TO SEE IT.]

Ooh! You got it, I'll finish it in good time, on my name!

That's the only rule for it: it has to be a fight someone else starts, and then you can finish it.

[He nods, like this somehow makes sense.]

[It makes complete sense to him?? He approves of this logic.]

I like the way you think! You're no pushover, huh?
