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 sure! There's nothing more important than making sure people still have a way to smile! And it's way cool that you can balance both swordsmanship and idol work? You must be supes talented!

[slashay]

[He just flashes a BRIGHT SMILE, delighted to his very soul bones to have found someone that will compliment him without him having to fish for them first. Wow.]

Thanks! I think everyone's got at least a few things they're really good at that they can balance pretty well, yeah? That's why you get so many idols with unique talent combinations and stuff! Ah, hey, but I've been talking a lot about me. What about you? What kinda stuff do you do? You talked about training for shows - are you an idol, too?

[dms]

You're right about that! Life would be pretty boring if we were always stuck with one thing forever.

Haha, not really! I've done some singing, but not on that level. I'm a UMC - an Ultra-Multi-Creator - and one of the things I do is acting! Just for plays, but we have to do some real training sometimes, you know? Research and stuff!

[slashay]

That's what I think, too.

[A little nod! Even swords need to have other hobbies sometimes... But! He claps his hands together, looking interested!]

Wow! An actor, huh? I don't think I've ever met one before! And definitely not an Ultra-Multi-Creator. What kinda stuff d'you create? What kinda plays d'you act in...?

[dms]

Never, really? I thought idols worked together with actors all the time! Oh, but maybe you have a different circle...?

I'm in the Mankai Company's Summer Troupe, so we specialize in comedies and ad libs, but we do a lot of different things! It's fun to step out of your comfort zone sometimes, you know? Like that time I played the bad guy - I'd never done it before, so it was a big learning experience.

And when I'm not acting, I'm creating all kinds of stuff! I paint, draw, and I do all the design work for Mankai - not to mention all the pics I take for the 'Blam.

[slashay]

It's probably that, yeah.

[YEAH DEFINITELY THAT and not the part where he's a time-traveling sword, it's fine, it's fine.]

Sounds like you really know how to keep yourself busy, though! But it's kinda hard to imagine you playing a bad guy, hah. I guess that's what makes actors so good at what they do, huh?

[dms]

[ he looks so pleased by this... ]

It was a challenge, that's for sure! But there'd be no point if it was always easy, either. It's probs the same for idol stuff and swordsmanship, too, right?

[slashay]

Mm, it's pretty much the same.

[A little nod! There are definitely Certain Similarities, at least...]

I think people like you end up succeeding at so much specifically because you're always picking up challenges.
