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!

Then that's a good thing, right?

[it's nervewracking? but itsuki is a big believer in not worrying about stuff]

No need to look for weapons if there isn't anything around to eat us.

[aitou]

...I suppose...

[He doesn't sound like he agrees at all]

[nightchild]

[HE DOESN'T SOUND LIKE HE AGREES AT ALL???]

Would you feel better having a weapon, even if there isn't anything dangerous here?

[laugh track]

[aitou]

Yes.

[WITHOUT HESITATION]

[nightchild]

[THAT WAS FAST

Itsuki tilts his head,]

Are you a soldier or something?

[aitou]

[He nods! Close enough.]

I usually have my sword with me all the time.

[nightchild]

[he looks a little startled at that,]

Yeah? I'd remember seeing a sword if it was around... Though it's been a while. Weren't most of them confiscated?

1/2

[aitou]

[oH NO]

2/2

[aitou]

[think fast yasusada THINK FAST]

--I'm part of the police force, so I'm allowed to keep mine for now.

[he's literally wearing a shinsengumi haori so I guess this isn't even a lie]

[nightchild]

[i hate that itsuki doesn't recognize it bc it's just MONOCHROME, tho it's hard to say if he would bc he never learned his history,

he tilts his head a little, then he nods.]

I guess that makes sense. You must be pretty responsible to be a policeman at your age...

[itsuki doesn't even know how old yamato is?]

[aitou]

[ITSUKI PLEASE PAY ATTENTION IN SCHOOL]

Of course! I learned from the best.

[nightchild]

[STOP HE NEVER WENT TO SCHOOL!!!]

Yeah? So did you always want to be a policeman then?

[aitou]

Mmhmm! I've been training since I was 9 years old.

[he's literally just larping Okita now]

[nightchild]

[YAMATO.... Itsuki whistles,]

I don't think I even thought about my future at that age.

[damn.... police families must work different...]

But even with all that training... did you never think about doing something else instead?

[aitou]

[Stop he's SO good at acting human]

Nope! I always knew this was the right thing. [(Okita voice) I'm a sword first and a human second actually]

MY HTML

[nightchild]

[he's a little unsure, but what does he know about the very human lives other humans lead? (smashcut to our pc)]

So you've got confidence and skill... I don't think I'll have to worry too much if enemies do appear.
