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!

doubt...

[nightchild]

[why is the image of ryu eating bread sadly so funny,]

Oh, right.

[there's blood around!!! itsuki when seeing blood: not my problem]

Been to a lot of murder scenes?

[he asks, JOKINGLY]

THEY ARE??????

[naruhodope]

[ because it's pathetic

he answers, seriously, ]

More than I'd care for, yeah.

[ even one would be one too many... also itsuki please care about blood. there's so much. blood comes from people. where did they go. ]

All the blood here looks old, so where could it have come from...?

he has such a baby face tho

[nightchild]

[Itsuki looks concerned.... does that mean he's seen a lot of death... for some reason he doesn't think that ryu means this in a professional sense (his baby face)]

Maybe it's from an animal? It seems a little too soon to assume that it's from a person...

[is it]

[naruhodope]

[ (kermit yelling voice) HE'S 23!!!! ]

...I don't think it's good news if it's from an animal, either.

[ IT'S STILL PRETTY DISTURBING? ]

And I haven't seen anyone else around who's alive and well besides us. Have you?

[nightchild]

[itsuki shakes his head,]

I haven't seen anyone else, but I've heard crying and sounds from the shrine -- as if someone's stuck there. [hm] Maybe they're ghosts, and the blood is from when they... died...?

[he starts trailing off because he's realizing that's a worse theory than `injured animals`]

[naruhodope]

I—I really hope not.

[ ghosts are terrifying. the threat of death is terrifying. none of itsuki's conjecture is comforting in the slightest, though he doesn't reject the ideas outright either. ]

I guess we need to figure out how to survive here before we can even begin to wonder on the g-ghosts and stuff. [ he holds his half-eaten bread carefully even though it just slumps in his hands. ] I'm starting to forget what it's like to feel full or warm...

[nightchild]

[this mans afraid of ghosts huh,]

Well. I can't do much about the 'full' part, but I'd be glad to snuggle with you for warmth.

[im being ic don't kill me nu]

[naruhodope]

[nightchild]

[he's laughing,]

Sorry, sorry. If it makes you feel any better, I don't have any ulterior motives? I'm really trying to help.
