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!

[from here]

I haven't looked in every single room yet, but it's been pretty much the same for me.

[he looks thoughtful for a moment]

I thought for a second that I had to do another task here, but I haven't seen anything resembling orders or instructions.
disingenuous: (r12)

[personal profile] disingenuous 2022-02-13 06:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Task?

[ Curious. ]

Are you used to traveling places unknown?
nightchild: (h e h)

[personal profile] nightchild 2022-02-13 11:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Kind of? I was actually in the middle of traveling before I got here, but before that I've only ever stayed in one place.
disingenuous: (r15)

[personal profile] disingenuous 2022-02-14 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
And you were assigned some sort of task?
nightchild: (L A Z Y)

[personal profile] nightchild 2022-02-14 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
[he nods]

To leave my home and travel to a country in need of my services. As for what kind of services... that's for the country to decide, apparently.
disingenuous: (r39)

[personal profile] disingenuous 2022-02-14 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
That's vague. You're willing to go without any sort of information? Were you getting compensated?

[ what could make you leave your home behind ]

[Itsuki smiles, though it's clearly wry]

I wasn't really in a position to decline. When 'The World' says jump, we say 'how high?' or spend the rest of our lives in a prison cell.

[someone out there thought itsuki the slut would be useful internationally,]

Isn't that how governments usually work?
disingenuous: (r12)

[personal profile] disingenuous 2022-02-14 05:46 am (UTC)(link)
I can't say I know how all governments work, just how things work at home.

[ we all living in fucked up worlds. ]

I see. It wasn't your choice. Is it better that you're here?
nightchild: (he's either judgin or smiling)

[personal profile] nightchild 2022-02-14 06:46 am (UTC)(link)
[he looks a little surprised at the question,]

...I want to say yes, but I'm getting the feeling that we've been pulled here for a reason that's not all that different, at the end of the day.

[free will? do they have it?]
disingenuous: (r10)

[personal profile] disingenuous 2022-02-14 07:02 am (UTC)(link)
I don't have a good feeling about this place at all, but we'll just have to see, won't we? Whether our fate is worse off here or not.
nightchild: (it's time)

touches roxana's perfect lips

[personal profile] nightchild 2022-02-14 07:29 am (UTC)(link)
...Yeah, you're right. We'll figure out the point of all of this sooner or later... Preferably sooner though.
