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!

Hmmm, I dunno about ranking them on their cuteness level, but I can always rank them on how fun they are. That way, we've got all the important bases covered.

[slashay]

That's good, too! And maybe we can add some extra notes just to keep track of the guys who'll take over with puzzles.

[This is going to be a weird chart but listen LISTEN. The second they get their hands on some permanent pen and paper, he is running to Marceline to make this happen.]

[theampirequeen]

So we judge them on how nerdy they are too?

[ she is completely fine with them ]

So... cute, nerdy, fun ... what else? Four options makes for the best kind of chart.

[slashay]

Hm... Cute, nerdy, fun... What else is there?

[Princess Swan voice.]

Maybe, like, "most likely to drink something from the science lab and die"? [THIS ISN'T YEARBOOK SUPERLATIVES.] What's the vibe of that? Just stupid?

[theampirequeen]

That's fun and stupid. [ Marceline would later drink some lab potions. ] Wait, I've got one. The psycho category! That's in case anyone here goes cuckoo bananas.

[slashay]

[smashcut to him just closing his eyes internally.]

You think there's gonna be enough people here like that to fill a whole category?

[theampirequeen]

You've seen everyone here, right?

[ THE FIGHTING ]

[slashay]

[HE'S MISSED THE WORST OF IT but also he's surrounded by freaks so the freaks here don't stand out.]

Yeah? I mean, some of 'em are pretty weird and fight-y, but...

[theampirequeen]

We can always keep it as an "in case" category.

[slashay]

Good plan. S'good enough for now, anyway! I'll let you know if I find any paper, 'kay?

[theampirequeen]

And I'll look for pens. Or we can always write in blood.

[ she says it like >:3 which says it's clearly. for a reaction. ]

[slashay]

Don't waste that! You might need it if red doesn't come back.

[He says, like a normal human!!]

[theampirequeen]

[ the horrid thing is that it makes her laugh ]

Don't worry! Even if I use it as writing, I can always drink it off the paper later.

[slashay]

[Why are they both like this... Instead of being concerned, he just looks a little perplexed.]

The way vampires eat is way more complicated than I thought...

[theampirequeen]

[ she's not making this face i'm just using the icon to demonstrate the teef as she shows off her longer canines ]

So long as I can bite into something, I can eat from it. That's pretty much it.

[slashay]

[imagine she just makes this face in the middle of talking casually and just keeps talking casually]

Ooh... I guess biting a paper's no problem, yeah. [A little nod... He thinks he gets it??] O-kay! Good, good. Buuut we'll go for ink first anyway, just in case.

[theampirequeen]

[ to be fair. that's not outside the realm of possibility for her. ]

Yeah. Most ink's black anyway, so it shouldn't be that hard to find even in this weird place.

[slashay]

[im in tears i love marceline]

True, true. So! I'm gonna call it quits with this stupid fire and start up some scouting instead. Let's meet up again if we find anything good for our chart, yeah?

[And not if they find, like, an exit????]

[theampirequeen]

I'll make sure to judge everyone appropriately for when we can do it.

[ yes this is the priority. the chart. ]
