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!
swords stop making itsuki feel gay challenge
Mm, that's right. 'I' for one and 'tsuki' for the moon.
[one moon... one hand... one heart... one car hand hook car door... they're still cuddling right, ig they're gonna link arms all the way to the mansion]
never
But yeah they. They sure are. Because Kashuu's definitely not going to be the first one to let go!! He's a clingy bastard, listen. It's fine, at least there will be places they can sit inside the mansion. Their nasty, decrepit mansion... with soon-to-be one single working cold shower.]
It's pretty! Super charming and poetic. [Is it?? When it's just "one moon"????] Y'know, they say people with tsuki in their names are naturally more in tune with the things around 'em. Like, people in general or just the atmosphere they're in. D'you think it's true?
no subject
Itsuki immediately looks amused at these compliments, LAYING IT ON KIND OF THICK THERE HUH, HE'S JUST A MOON MOON? but he also appreciates the hustle so ultimately this works]
Well, I guess I am pretty observant, but I can't really say if that's because of my name or because of the place I grew up in. Or maybe it's both?
[did kashuu just make this compliment up on the spot... is he psychic]
no subject
ALSO YEAH!! HE'S HUSTLIN'. He's on that 24/7 hustle!! Please don't let his terrible flirting and hustling actually work, this is the worst. At least he takes a break from that to look genuinely curious about this lil comment...]
Yeah? What kinda place did you grow up in...?
no subject
A red light district.
[he's still smiling as they walk, but he tenses a little, as if Itsuki's anticipating Kashuu letting go. He can't really blame him if he does, honestly? It's only been thirty years since they abolished the caste system? But it's fine if he does, Itsuki will just respond with an easy, open smile.]
The brothel I was raised in wasn't all that popular, but I still managed to learn how to read people, when to go with the flow, stuff like that. All pretty valuable life skills, so I can't complain.
no subject
anyway i already said it but it is well and truly hilarious how fast Kashuu went from just being a silly flirt for fun to genuinely liking this human. LITERALLY 2 SECONDS. Sometimes you're born into the bottom of the caste system where all the prostitutes and butchers and executioners end up and you immediately see humans in that arena and go "well, that one's mine now" about it.
Like he notices the very minute tensing, he just gives Itsuki's arm a little, reflexive squeeze, as if to say "it's fine".]
Mm, I see. It's true - a looot of people who work in places like that know more about humans than anyone else. ...That kinda perspective can be enough to crush someone, though.
[He's seen a lot of humans crumble from the weight of being on the bottom, in his time.]
no subject
he huffs a laugh, maybe to hide his embarrassment, or maybe to hide his gratitude.]
Is that something else you've heard?
[or is he speaking from experience, is implied, but Itsuki knows better than to ask outright. instead he puts a hand on Kashuu's shoulder to help maneuver him around a broken piece of furniture]
no subject
Thanks for making sure he doesn't trip and ruin his suaveness, though. He lets himself be guided around this brokenass chair, and his shoulders rise a little.]
I hear it, but I see it, too. I see a lot of it - I've seen a lot of it, y'know?
[This will be really funny when it's revealed that he's 500 years old.]
no subject
ah, it's his turn to give kashuu a comforting shoulder squeeze]
Yeah? Could've fooled me. [he's smiling a little] I'm used to growing up around beautiful people, but you seem different from them. [hm,] More striking? Elegant?
[ratshakes u for a pc on monday so we can flirt in private]
no subject
Now you're just trying to make me blush, huh?
[HEH!! He says this but he's not looking embarrassed at all, what a terrible punk. but ya time for them to turbobond over being emotional sluts]
no subject
Just stating the truth. I'm the honest type.
[doubt] And like you said, very in tune with people.
[he's a sword tho]
no subject
There's a definitely flash of amusement in his smile, and it is entirely because he's not people, but. It's fine.]
Honesty's a pretty good look on you.
