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!

[DOUBLE TEAM THEIR HANDS????? Kashuu has no idea what this means and yet, he's just sitting there like "yeah, that sounds like the reasonable thing a sensible person would say".]

I'm not good at stuff that makes me dirty either, though, so I'm not gonna go sticking my hands into anything gross.

[He says, and then gets pride goo'd.]

[experimint]

Oh, that's cool. I try to not to stick my hands into anything gross, too.

That's what Marceline and Finn are for.

[slashay]

Are either of 'em here? If not, I got a guy who touches gross things that I can let you borrow.

[DON'T JUST TREAT YASUSADA LIKE A PENCIL.]

[experimint]

Marceline is, but it's good to have two.

[ please stop ]

[slashay]

[Their favorite pencils Marceline and Yasusada.]

Yeah, spreading resources isn't a bad idea in a situation like this. Especially since just about everything seems like it could be gross to touch...

[experimint]

Oh, yeah. There's got to be loads of diseases all over this place. Just festering in it.

[slashay]

Ugh, don't remind me...

[His shoulders bunch up a little like he's suppressing a shudder.]

I wonder if that's the plan? Just, like, set us all loose in here and see who catches some weird strain of the plague first?

[experimint]

It could be. And we just all slowly infect each other...

[ like covid.......... ]

I bet that Garou guy has it.

[slashay]

[Covid 2020 Simulator, 2022...]

Huh? Who's Garou? [Somehow he manages to not meet that madlad until Saturday.] --Wait, is he the barfing guy?

[He was around to see that, though. That does seem like something a diseased person would do...]

[experimint]

Yes, that's the one. He's a pretty funny guy.

[ just like a lil lad who

goes and barfs ]

[slashay]

That was super gross.

[He does not share the sense of humor needed to appreciate this, but Garou does indeed seem like a funny lil lad.]

Maybe he just didn't take to world-travel well?

[experimint]

Oh, no. He tried to eat something in the lab, actually.

[ yeah. ]

[slashay]

[Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.]

...I mean.

[Like, how do you say "deserved" without sounding like an asshole??]

Well. I'll be surprised if barfing is all he does?

[experimint]

Aw yeah, he definitely might have something freaky growing inside him right now.

We'll have to keep an eye on him just in case any mutations occur.

[slashay]

[BLANCHING.]

D'you think it's gonna... y'know. [He makes a "creature bursting out of your chest" gesture.]

[experimint]

I cannot say that it's not completely off the table.

[slashay]

[Covering his mouth with his hand like that one meme.]

...Wow. Well, I don't wanna be anywhere near him when it happens.

[experimint]

Right, it'll be best if we stay a respectable distance away at all times unless we fall victim to icky stuff.
