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!

Which do you think is most likely - that it's a danger, or that it isn't?

[bestaround]

[ Helpfully, he gives a lazy shrug. ]

Hell if I can tell. Should probably be prepared for the worst, at any rate.

[countermeasures]

...prepare for the worst, hope for the best, no?

[bestaround]

Something like that. If you're that worried, we don't have to bother seeing if we can.

[countermeasures]

I'd be less worried about it if my medical supplies hadn't gone missing.

[bestaround]

Oh.

[ huh. ]

That makes you a... doctor, then, right?

[countermeasures]

[she nods]

Yes, that's right.

[bestaround]

What kind of medical supplies did you have? There's not much around, but maybe there's something else around to replace it with.

[countermeasures]

Well... I had my acupuncture needles, and a few rolls of bandages, some salves for bruises and burns, a few pre-blended medications for pain relief and other common symptoms, and a mortar and pestle and some preserved plants in case I needed to make more medicines.

[her brow furrows]

I've been looking, but nothing seems to be of use. But if you do happen to see any living plants while you're looking around, I'd appreciate it if you'd let me know where so I can evaluate whether or not they'd have any medicinal uses.

[bestaround]

[ Oh. That's a bit more than he was expecting to hear. ]

... R— right. Living plants might be a tough one, but you'll be the first to know if I see 'em.

[countermeasures]

Thank you, I appreciate it.

Don't worry if you don't find much. I'll be keeping an eye out, too, but I haven't found much that works so far.

[bestaround]

There's... barely anything around, huh. It's pretty empty of anything...

[countermeasures]

It's unsettling, if I'm being honest.
