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 [community profile] 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!

and then he very awkwardly shakes her hand. how does he make this such an awkward interaction. amazing. ]
blamed: (sometimes you only get)

[personal profile] blamed 2022-02-13 06:59 am (UTC)(link)
[ it's fine, this is stupid, they're both dumb, ]

What? If you wanted to wager something else, you should've said so before you shook!

[ he points at himself. ] Evil social experiment.

[ then at her. ] Just plain evil.
blamed: (i see your true colors)

[personal profile] blamed 2022-02-13 09:14 am (UTC)(link)
Oh! Right!

So... we've just gotta wait until we find out which it is!

[ this keeps getting more awkward ]

Yeah, and you're at an advantage with the vaguer bet. Lucky you.
blamed: (you can call me up)

[personal profile] blamed 2022-02-13 10:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Again, you had all the opportunity in the world to change your mind before you agreed! You can't blame me for the oversight.

[personal profile] highrisk 2022-02-13 10:04 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm being generous. You're welcome.

[ laughs ]

You're a prickly sort, aren't you?

[personal profile] highrisk 2022-02-13 10:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[ who's to say. ]

I don't know what you're talking about.
blamed: (show me a smile then)

[personal profile] blamed 2022-02-13 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Signs point to "yes."
