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!

[ This is why he hates children!!! Meteion is about as optimistically encouraging as Orn Khai is!!! But with even less smarminess because she's like two and Orn Khai is 300!!! Too nice! Too forgiving! ]

...

[ He'll be sure to keep an eye on this one, but he'll ease off on her. ]

Right. [ He'll try not to be snarky. ] ...What are you called, girl.

[ Okay. This tracks with what he knows... kind of. He doesn't remember off the top of his head, but when it's spoken to him, he recalls it. ]

...Estinien.

[ He is indeed less angy. More just 'what do I even do in this situation' brand of lost. Is he in some kind of mad dream... ]

Estinien... [ She seems to take a moment to consider the name, keeping it in mind, then nods. ] It's nice.. to meet you!

[ despite you strongly bullying her, but it's okay bird child has an idea ]

I hope, we can become friends. [ boom. ]

It would perhaps be better... if you had friends of more similar interests...

Similar.. interests? [ a head tilt, considering. mmmmm

that sounds complicated? (no) ]
It's okay! We can all.. be friends here. It can get lonely by yourself.. but there's all of us!

[ you've forged a bond of friendship with no input, congratulations ]

[ Nonconned into powerful bonding is actually Estinien's entire storyline. ]

Right, like. Another small girl. Or... birds.

[ Just stepping right over the other bit. ]
