[ It's his first time posting to the forum and Shiro's hex code is a dark blue, easy on the eyes. ]

Hello! I'm Takashi Shirogane (you can call me Shiro for short), back home I'm the captain of the IGF-Atlas. Some of you may know Keith, he's been around the forums a little more than me, we're both from the same world.

When I got here I noticed that the environment changes around the time those "quests" are completed, always after people have worked together toward a goal ... however weird it may be ... and on a side-note, thank you to whoever had enough influence to turn the harbour so colourful. It looks great.

Anyway, my point is that maybe we could all spend a day getting to know each other. I think it's a good idea for us to stay alert with the trees encroaching on the town but it can't hurt for us to come together and see what outcome an en masse meeting has. Maybe any new friendships formed will affect Chroma in a positive way in the future. In my experience team-bonding exercises can only lead to good things, and I think the community could benefit in the long term from a day spent opening up to each other.

So! I'm not suggesting a wild party, but some food definitely wouldn't go amiss. Would anyone be willing to cook for the town? We could work out some games too, like a competition to draw a town flag or figure out a motto, and music would also be great if we have any musicians with us. Whatever you can think of, feel free to suggest it.

I firmly believe that activities which bring us together can only make us stronger.
I look forward to getting to know more of you.

As usual, it comes upon me to educate everyone.

It appears that ever since the forest has gotten closer to our homes, it's had an effect on people staying too close for it for too long. I've come across several people passed out in that area. While they managed to recover, they were quite groggy and confused, barely able to remember what had happened.

So, obviously, this is a warning not to stray close to the forest for a long period of time. While we can hope this only temporary, it's better to be safe than sorry.

3 things:

1. Has any one of you seen a white-haired man with a prosthetic arm? You'll know it when you see it.
2. Who dropped these scales?
3. Who owns the plot of crops?

Hey. It's Keith.

A few things.

First. I've talked about it before, but we really need a directory of who is here, a way to keep track of each other. On the network and off.

Right now the only one who knows completely who is here is the jerk that brought us here in the first place. And then more people got dragged here too. With how dangerous it can be, I think it's good to keep track of each other. And to help know who belongs to what network code.

So. Let's get ourselves a list before something else happens. Names, network codes, general idea of where people are living, so if things go bad we can keep track of ourselves. Hit me with what you've got here.

I'll try to keep it updated as people come... and go. And if anyone wants to help with that, let me know.

Second. The boogeyman. Seriously?

[And oh god the really awkward part of all this.]

Third. Uh... so. It seems a lot of people... in Ruga at least... wound up with a picture of a purple, pointy-eared woman. That's my mother. So I... will take those.

((ooc: so Keith is trying to put together a directory, in effect making an IC version of the Takens page, if anyone wants to help him out with this project.))

hey sup
despite the un this is dave
and also keith bc the un is accurate to whose laptop this is
but anyway good news we have a town name things to DEMOCRACY
the town name is chroma
congrats feel patriotic
in other news tho with books being readable those books keith and i totally stole from that cottage way back when now have text
take it away and tell the lovely people what all we learned keith

Yay democracy.

Anyway.

We learned that woods hermits like to keep journals? Like, really really like to keep journals.

This guy kept track of everything. And it starts out pretty… mundane, but then it all gets a lot weirder. Apparently the woods started talking to whoever this forest journaler was, and apparently it wanted something.

Not… that he was kind enough to say what it wanted. But I’m going to go out on a limb and say nothing good.

So. There’s that.

The woods have apparently sucked for longer than we’ve been here. Maybe whatever happened to the town’s color and uh, residents, had something to do with that.

Maybe.

if you want to see the books theyre at my place
my place being me dave
so feel free to come see
john or i will let you in
if were there
probably plan for a time we are there
anyway thats all for today guys
good hustle

[USER: #DC143C]

Hey. Uh. It's Keith.

Something just happened to me, and I don't know if it's happened to anyone else.

I went home. I went home for months. But I'm also not sure I even really left? I've been gone... quiznak, a few days here? Maybe? It's confusing but I swear it's real. I remember all of it.

And more than that, I've got the injuries to back it up. You can't fake a fighter crash injuries under battle wounds just like that. And older scars I didn't have before I...

[He's fine. But the impressively colorful display of bruises and minor cuts that cover most of his body is pretty distinct at the moment, and not something he thinks could come from much besides exactly what he remembers happening. It all matches up perfectly.]

Anyway. I woke up in the woods. I don't remember going out there, but I must have. And someone or something stole my shoes, so that's... also awesome.

Has this happened to anyone else? What the hell is going on?

Oh.

Turns out I'm alive after all, by the way, if anyone was wondering. Back home, I mean.

And I have a mother.

[It has been... a really really weird day. He needs a hug. And to beat the crap out of something, but there's no training deck here so that's unfortunate.]

[ This color is painful, sorry ]

Good evening,

My name is Mitsuru Kirijo. There has been a lot of discussion about our expeditions, possible theories behind the identity of #FFFFFF, as well as multiple posts about assigning roles and town duties. These are all important to go over in detail, so I come forth with a proposal.

We should conduct a Town Hall Meeting.

I have scouted three potential venues to accommodate our numbers: an old city hall in Ruga (my preference), a library in Bluo, or what appears to be an abandoned church or temple in Flavo. Some clean up might be in order, but to me this seems as good a cause as any.

Is this of interest to the community? If so, please state your interest here, as well as potential topics of discussion that we could cover in an orderly fashion. I am aiming towards a week from now, but a date can be adjusted.

Thank you for your time,

- M. Kirijo

sup this is dave again
this time im solo if you were wondering
anyway im going to try to be brief and to the point up here but i know ill ramble down below
but major points to discuss before i inevitably just let my train of thought slam off the fucking rails and down into the valley of meandering metaphors

1) quest coordination
there are four quests and 1 requires 5 trios of red/yellow/blue
it says restore the written word which as a dude who is in possession of books purloined from a weird little forest cottage
i find compelling
i know of at least 2 trios who did or are doing this
me minato and ryoji
and egbert momo and izuku
so we need three more
if you are in a trio doing this or have done this lmk so we can be sure were clear
if you would like to do this or another quest let me know your name and color and i will play matchmaker in the interest of literary options to stave off boredom maybe being restored
i mean that sounds pretty cut and dry right
restore the written word

summation: leave me your:
name
color
what quests among the four you want

and ill sort you out
time management and group management are basically the same damn thing right
ftr for those of you who forgot the other quests are
-leaf hunting 1 yellow
-harpy hunting 1 red 1 blue
-wolves 1 red

also im pretty sure only i can time travel
and egbert kind of halfway but he doesnt fucking count rn because i told him to knock it off already
but like if anyone else has time related powers
heads up maybe dont use them in the town
i assume you already figured that out if you have secret time powers
but also i guess if anyone shows up with time powers
tell them not to go back or forward
freezing stuff or speeding it up didnt get me slammed with a naughty boy mental kick but like fun fact
i for sure got hit with some pretty ridiculously ominous flashbacks (flashforwards??? whatever)
when i was attempting to break my selfimposed time travel ban
highlights of my magical mental mystery tour included
-things eating ppl in the woods always a classic
-ppl going into the woods and never coming back because why not
-same via sailboats into the horizon which wasnt that like one of the end things in lotor??
-all you all dying in various fun ways so cheers to that
anyway i pretty much assume the powers that be are like dave my man
we like the timeline in this town exactly how it is so like
fuck off
and im gonna do the cool guy thing and raise my hands in surrender and go yeah ok
because doublechecking that a few times was maybe stupid and i dont plan to keep it up unless i have a reason to

ftr it works fine outside the town though so theres that
ok im going to cut myself off here because i kind of want to discuss the possibility the natives were elves who went off to elf island and that maybe detracts from my main points of "lets try to do the really fucking intense coordination quest please assist" followed by "if you want to do quests but cant find a partner bc youre too involved in standing at the edge of the ballroom floor trying not to look at the other kids lmk and ill be that one asshole teacher who goes why dont you dance with little susie she looks nice" followed by "time travel still sucks an update"
later dudes

(User: #0715CD)

hey, it's john egbert! i don't know if this is relevant or not but i was wondering if we could contact #ffffff or not since they seem to keep contacting us. the answer is no btw. it comes back as "user not found" though. that's a little weird? i know keith mentioned someone who used to be here having his code struck through and i think this is maybe the same thing. so i have two theories. 1.) our dear friend #ffffff is someone who used to be here before we got here and they got sent somewhere else, or 2.) it's totally a ghost. anyway that's it! just in case anyone else was wondering or had other theories or something.

(User: #DC143C)

Hey... everyone. It's Keith.

So a couple things. I guess.

First. Someone brought it up already I think. A while back, but people are going missing. I know it's happened at least a couple times. Not anyone I ever really met, but one guy I was assigned to as a sparring partner, but I couldn't find him. It really seems like he's gone. Even his code has been struck from the network. Which seems pretty deliberate.

Is there anyone else?

If people are disappearing, or wandering off and getting hurt or... worse... I guess most people probably have friends to look out after them. Maybe not everyone though.

But even so, if people are disappearing and none of us know how or why. I think that's something we should probably at least think about and what it means for the rest of us.

Second. So I guess it's a little easier now that there are some colors to help remember, but the whole username code thing is confusing in keeping track of who is who. At least it is for me.

If it were voluntary, what do people think about putting together some sort of directory? Something we could keep updated and search by name and/or code.

It might help us keep track of people too.

And... If people do think it's worth pursuing, I'd be really grateful if anyone better at computers than me wants to help making it user friendly.

EDIT: And apparently some people are turning into statues. Which sounds horrifying. Anyone have info on this? Do we know how to reverse it?

A brief announcement, as we’ve all seemed to embrace the trend of sharing important information on this forum: we have successfully begun cultivating a garden.

apparently when he says brief he means brief but anyway
flavo is now plus one flavor station
you could say its flavotown with guy fielderi
or not that you could also say not that
but yeah we just took over a random ass field and planted things
and then used a magical fertilizer known as time shit and also me
but mostly time shit which smells less bad than like bullshit but apparently has the same results
and anyway we used that to make stuff grow faster
you know for fun and profit
and also french fries
and now we are inviting you to help the fuck out because gardening is actually really boring
and also we could use a bigger variety of things to garden
i guess
right
hey how do we garden salt

Salt can be distilled out of salt water, with a bit of time and effort. Or was that intended to be a rhetorical question?

none of my questions are ever rhetorical i always want an answer
unless the answer is something dumb i guess but in that case i can always just make up that someone told me something not dumb
or i can just pretend i never asked
anyway that aside
were willing to probably reward anyone who wants to put in gardening time
like with weeds or things
or like actually giving us neat seeds or whatever
with food that actually tastes like stuff since thats most of what were growing
or just like food which is an important resource if you dont wanna die i guess
but also more importantly than any of that
french fries
because guess what tel made me french fries and theyre the bomb and i can now die a happy man the end
I didnt realize until this moment just how much i missed salt and that kind of warm greasy french fry smell and feeling
its chicken soup for the soul only way more satisfying and also probably less healthy which is what makes it more satisfying
you know you want in on this

That does seem a sufficient bribe, yes. Join the gardening effort; receive french fries. I’m willing to call that my contribution to the cause.

[ despite the fact this is all in dave's lovely red text, he is probably not larping talking with someone else. in fact, the other person is ignis scientia who will also probably respond to things. and as promised they have in fact set up a garden plot in flavo! thanks to dave's dumb time powers things they're growing there are on a month-week scale. for example, potatoes take 2 months but with dave applying some time shit they're taking 2 weeks. the garden currently offers: tomatoes, peppers, potatoes, onions, and wheat. these things all have flavor because they were made from things ignis had already from home! give them more stuff, obviously. maybe earn yourself some delicious french fries! ]

Hi, everyone! This is Izuku Midoriya, in case you don't know my hex code yet.

1. Since it looks like we're stuck here for a while longer, I was thinking it would be a good idea to try collecting more information on this place, specifically the forest. As of right now, it's probably our best bet for finding a way out of here, and it's a source of food, too. [No matter how bad it all tastes.] Yaoyorozu-san and I have been trying to put together a working map, but we just don't have enough information to work with right now.

What do you think of us all working together to map the forest out? If we're successful, we'll be able to mark out the safer paths to take, as well as where we can find anything edible. The more people we have for this, the faster we'll be able to get the information we need!

2. If you've already gone into the forest and encountered something like the shadow monsters or some kind of magical trap, let me know! I can put together a database of sorts on this forum so we all know what kind of danger to look out for when we head in. I'll keep it updated if we run into anything else during this group trip, too.

3. Not related to the information gathering, but has anyone managed to find anything like tshirts and jeans around this place? I've found some extra clothing while cleaning this past week, but most of them don't fit me and they're not really in a style that I'm used to. So, if anyone needs an extra set of clothes, come find me?

(ooc: Sign ups for the forest exploration can be found here!)

Please complete these quests. If you do, there may be a reward awaiting you.

Once upon a time, there lived a young man in an azure district. While his family wanted for nothing in terms of wealth, the man's heart sought one most felt was beyond his reach. His heart's desire was a poor but comely man who hailed from the crimson district, and his beauty had already drawn several suitors from that same district to his side in the hopes of claiming his heart for their own.

The young man despaired, for he knew to approach his love whilst hailing from another color would be a fruitless effort indeed. Thankfully there was another, a true friend, a young woman of the brighter, sunnier district, who was there to offer her assistance.

Considering the mention of shadows in some of the previous posts, I was curious to know how many of you are knowledgeable about the studies of the psychiatrist Carl Jung and his own theories on the matter.

[Clearly there's nothing special about this query, right.]

[User:#800000]

Hello everyone,

My name is Momo, so that you have a name instead of simply a number.

I have a question and a thought I'd like to bring up. The question is simply: are there any artists or cartographers here? I created a paper map, though it's not very good as I have little talent or training for art. I'd like to have it more formalized and improved on, if anyone feels up to the task. It would be useful to have in case there is an emergency so that we can respond quickly and come up with preparedness plans, I believe.

Secondly, I have been thinking about trying to put together central supply depots. There is a lot of material in this place, tools and bits and bobs, and a lot of foodstuffs that we might find a use for. I feel as though rather than leaving it scattered about, using some of the abandoned buildings towards the center of town might be an efficient use of space and cut down on some of our potential difficulties. I've already started adding some of the tools and materials I've found or created to a building by the well. Is there anyone else would like to assist me in making this a reality?

Thank you all for your time,

Momo.

Seeing as I'm stuck inside for the time being, I wanted address a few questions here. Just... while I have the chance, I suppose.

[ Nevermind that he's sick with literally nothing to do beside cover his blanket in snot. Gross. ]

Does anyone's computer device show a date of any kind? It's cold outside and there are no calendars around to really indicate how long that's going to last. Or, even if time is actually moving at all. I would assume so, since there's a clock and a night and day, but honestly at this point I wouldn't be surprised to hear if it wasn't.

Also, to anyone who tries going out in the flurries today: stay warm and be careful. If the water is strange around here, there's no telling what the snow will be like.

Oh! And alw;lmm

This is Lt. Colonel Guren Ichinose of the Japanese Imperial Demon Army. I don't expect that to mean anything to any of you, but if it can make anyone take me a little more seriously, then I'll take it.

I'm sure you all saw the illustration of those apparent shadow monsters. If there are dangers, it means we should be ready for them, and somehow I've run into a surprising few people who have enough experience in combat. Some of them don't have any at all.

Would any of you be interested in learning how to fight? To defend yourselves? What about the capable out there— are you willing to teach, or spar to improve yourselves? Let me know, and I can set something up for regular practicing.

That's all.

(OOC: Basically, I thought it might be fun to encourage more random CR with both characters who would like to learn how to fight, and characters who already know how and are willing to teach or spar! If there's enough interest, I can throw up an ooc post with match up sort of things that can provide a semi-regular chance for new CR (via threading or handwaving). Let me know in your tag, or via PM if your character won't tag the post!

Edit: I put up an ooc sign up! Please remember to sign up there if you'd like your character to be included in some fighting (and friendship) styled pair ups!)

It appears that as a group we've all generally agreed to utilize this forum as a means of sharing relevant information with each other and pooling collectively our experiences as we grow acclimated to our new circumstances, so in a similar vein — a few questions, if you will.

1) Has anything verifiably edible (and safe for consumption) been found in the wilds surrounding this town?

2) Has anyone yet identified a foodstuff that isn't altogether flavorless?

Hey. So...

...

Question for anyone. Or for everyone I guess.

How sure are you that you're still alive? Back where you're from I mean.

Like on a scale from 1 to 10. Where 1 is "I definitely died" and 10 is "I'm definitely still alive" and everything in between.

Thanks in advance. I know it's a weird question. I just... I gotta know.

[He's asked some folks, but the results so far are mixed. And Keith needs to figure out one way or another if this is just some weird unexpected afterlife, and he's at a solid 2.5 on his own scale so he's wondering.]
