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!

Perhaps we are fortunate enough a science expert got dragged along with us. We're a large group -- someone must have skills we don't.

[Bubblegum is the one they need. Teach us the secrets of science, Bubblegum!]

It might not be a bad idea to try and take stock of our collective skills...

[they'll get profiles soon and they'll all be listed right there but she doesn't know that yet]

Well that is a good idea. May as well begin taking stock of it by writing about my remarkable skill for instigating riots and discord in large communities.

[Not the time for your usual brand of joking, November. Doesn't help that once his profile comes up, all his jokes and stuff will seem pretty plausible, haha]

Oh, I don't know if we can count that. It's been a few days and you haven't managed to instigate a riot among us just yet.

[she's clearly joking.]

[He pouts for a moment]

Your lack of faith in my capabilities wounds me deeply.

[It's so rare for someone to bounce off something he said. Most of the time all he gets is an alarmed stare and little more, so that someone is willing to reply to that like this is a refreshing change. He likes it!]

[she giggles]

My apologies! Perhaps you'll prove me wrong?

I would if that hadn't been just kidding.

[November observes one of the creatures suspended in a tube. It's such a gross thing, yet he stares at it as if it was a fish in an aquarium]

What are your strong points, Su? Is there anything about that you would like to share?

[for her part, she's mainly looking around the lab for anything she might be able to use for medical purposes. please... she needs her kit back...]

Well, I'm a doctor. So if someone comes down with an illness or gets hurt, I should be able to assist at least a little, even if we don't really have the sorts of supplies we need just yet.

[November definitely is coming to Jiuqing to get his grievous light beam burn treated once it happens -- although it will be hours after it happens, really]

I'd almost dare say any illness happening here will be unlike anything you may have seen ever before.

[It probably will involve color one way or another, he bets]

That, or from people forgetting to dry off after spending hours out in the rain at that... amusement park, and catching a cold.
