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!

[prayer hands emoji]

Same here, I'm in pretty much the same condition I was before I got here.

[he touches the edges of his hair, frowning a little and then looks over at their clothes]

Well -- I guess not exactly the same. I can't find the hairpin I always wear.

[countermeasures]

[she frowns at that]

My bag of medical supplies is missing, too. I usually keep it on me at all times. So whoever brought us here is a thief as well as a kidnapper.

[nightchild]

I'd guess that they took it because it's valuable, but that wouldn't make sense for just a hairpin... [hm] Are you a doctor, Jiu-chan? Or are you studying to be one?

[countermeasures]

I'm a doctor, yes. I had a clinic in the capital and I spent some time working in the Imperial Academy of Medicine, but before all of this I was accompanying the army to provide medical services to the soldiers.

[nightchild]

Yeah?

[HOLD ON..... Itsuki is genuinely impressed, and it shows by his expression. and it also makes sense why it wouldn't have been possible for her to get kidnapped by someone... while surrounded by soldiers...]

I've heard that school's hard enough, but studying medicine and becoming a doctor? At your age too? [damn girl] That's pretty awesome, Jiu-chan.

[countermeasures]

[just how old does itsuki think she is, she wonders? oh well.]

It's the result of hard work, is all. That, and I had a very skilled teacher.

[nightchild]

[look,,,,, the only doctors he knows are super old guys and also chickens]

Man, if we had a doctor like you on the ship, then maybe the trip would have been nicer... Though I guess the hiyokos tried their best.

[countermeasures]

[


i'm sorry, what?]

The... hiyokos?

[nightchild]

[it's fine]

Oh, they're the caretakers on our ship. [he puts his hands out and makes them like...... chicken sized] They're like baby chicks, except bigger? They all had different jobs, and one of them was our designated doctor.

[he pauses]

...Seems pretty weird when I think about it now, but I absolutely promise that I'm not lying.

[countermeasures]

...it sounds unrealistic compared to what I'm used to where I come from, but... just ending up in a place like this all of a sudden seems unrealistic too.

The fact that it sounds strange doesn't make it any less real.

[nightchild]

[uwooo su jiuqing believes him... (no she's just saying that things are allowed to be weird)]

You know, you've got a really comforting way with words. Does that kind of skill come with being a doctor?

[countermeasures]

[there's a joke about bedside manner here but i'm too tired and also too afraid of itsuki being horny to make it]

I think it just comes from spending a lot of time with people.

[nightchild]

[im so sorry britt but itsuki WILL make a horny bedside manner joke in our threads, it's only a matter of time]

That's a skill all on its own, and just as impressive.

[sometimes people are exhausting?? look at garou and damien? where are their people skills]

[countermeasures]

[she smiles]

Well... thank you for saying so.

[nightchild]

damn................ she's so cute...........]

Just stating the facts. You can always rely on me to be honest, Jiu-chan.

[countermeasures]

[(me, looking at his primary color being heliotrope and pressing x to doubt)]

Is that so? I'll be counting on that in the days to come, I'm sure.

[nightchild]

[STOP..... YEAH.............. maybe his simp instincts will win out tho]

I definitely won't let you down.

[she's cute, smart, a doctor, nice to him, didn't immediately turn him down (or did she) earlier...]

[countermeasures]

See to it that you don't.

[he may not like what happens if he does...]
