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!

Oh - wow, she's a queen? [COLOR HIM IMPRESSED.] Marceline, right? Wow, that's pretty cool... I totally forgot we had a vampire, though. Yeah, no, I'm not undead.

[He's just never-technically-been-alive.]

[disestablishment]

[ CAN'T BE DEAD IF YOU'RE NOT ALIVE!!!!!!!! He nods. ]

'Tis how she introduced herself, though she isn't one for decorum. [ "Stuffy." Anyway, he looks around again. ] Before the shades try to lure us in once more, we can sneak to the next room.

[slashay]

[YEAH!! Beat that logic puzzle.]

Huh... She just called herself a spooky vampire when we were talking about it, but it's just 'cuz we got distracted talking about blood.

[Normal. But!! With the coast clear, he'll go on over, sneakin' into the next room. There's a big ol' hole in the wall that he promptly moves toward and tries to peer into...]

[disestablishment]

[ Unlike Kashuu, Aymeric is actually looking around the room?? He lifts up the bloody sheets, looking between the mattresses. ]

... What for, may I ask?

[ bLOOD? ]

[slashay]

[HE'LL LOOK AROUND THE ROOM EVENTUALLY NO BULLY.]

Oh - that's what vampires eat! [Don't say it so cheerfully help.] Except apparently they can also just eat red?

[disestablishment]

[ kashuu: i'm only interested in fire emblem three holes ]

Red... As in the color? I've never heard.

[slashay]

[Yeah he's living up to his Hole Buddy moniker.]

Yep! The color. [He's gonna be a walking buffet for Marceline.] I hadn't heard about it either, but apparently it's, like, little known lore? She said a lot of 'em drink blood just 'cuz they're freaks.

[disestablishment]

... 'Twould make sense for them to covet blood since it is red.

[ Sure. That's fine. He isn't an Undead expert and things work differently in other worlds! ]

While I wouldn't want her to go hungry, mayhap it's fortunate I don blue.

[slashay]

Yeah, I don't actually know what eating a color even looks like... Maybe it'd hurt.

[Somehow?? Even though it's only clothes???]

But! I don't think that'll be a problem, anyway. Or I really hope it won't? There's still a little red around here that's not blood...

[disestablishment]

... Since we are not red, only the clothing would be in pain, I imagine.

[ Also aymeric like clothes don't feel pain i think. He nods. ]

It'll work out itself. Marceline proved to be reliable from my experience.

[ no WORRIES. ]

[slashay]

[They're just out here trusting a wholeass vampire queen.]

She seems pretty on top of her game, yeah... [But! After finishing this sweep:] No swords in here, either. Next room?

[disestablishment]

[ she hasn't killed anyone yet ]

Aye, next room.

[ And the next room..... Looks the same as the previous. Another search. ]

What do you surmise of these holes?

[slashay]

Like, where did they come from? Or...

[Hole buddy... This room is also absolutely USELESS but Kashuu will peek under chairs and peer through the holes in the walls anyway.]

Doesn't look like they're from fighting, at least.

[disestablishment]

[ REALLY LOVE HOLES HERE... ]

No signs of it being a bullet as well. We would see grease rings. [ When Aymeric is done with the mattress search, he folds the sheets and places them back on. ] Shall we go to the next?

[slashay]

[BEGONE.]

Mm, yeah, let's go.

[and since this is a week 0 thread we can just say they continued to find absolutely jackshit and talk about holes.]
