"Mmhm, I see, I see... Your father did tell us you had a bit of a mishap with your art project. We couldn't help coming to give some advice." Solaris muses, circling the diorama of the city. Currently, it's been moved to a coffee table.

"Yes, he told me I should try and spin it as if I had done such a thing on purpose. But I don't see how I could possibly..." "Oh, we had an idea for that!"

Mimosa flutters from behind, resting her hands on Janus' shoulders. The glint of mischief hiding in her rosy glasses does not escape his notice.

"We could help you mirror it in the city proper, you know!" "What?" "It's an interesting theory. The structures you made still stand, but what gives them life and personality has been greyed out." "I wouldn't say that--" "So how do you fix it? Do you paint them with the hues and values they're supposed to be, or do you pick something new?" "What do you do with the spots where the paint bled together? Do you paint over that, too?"

As the two bounce back and forth in this terrible game of brainstorming, Janus begins to put his hands to his cheeks in mounting horror.

"Oh, no. No no no. Absolutely not--" "If we make someone look like an old black and white movie, what happens? Will they try to change to technicolour?" "Would they paint themselves the colour palettes they're used to? Maybe it's something entirely different. If we make those hues correspond with their personalities..." "I--I'll have no part in this! The last time something like this happened, everything--" "Ah-ah, don't worry."

Mimosa leaves Janus side to twirl next to Solaris, who makes an artful pose himself, as if framing the splotchy mess of a diorama in his hands.

"We have this one completely under control. Not like last time." "I'll make sure of it. Just a little bit of editing... ah, Mimosa, what if we..."

Janus can only move his head as the two take their leave, watching them scheme and snicker. He turns back to look at the model of the city. And in a scramble that almost makes him trip over his own feet, he rushes to his boxes of paints.

"--I have to at least put the base coat back on, or they really won't have anything at all!"

. . . . .

Welcome to another zany event for the fall season! It looks like Mimosa and Solaris aren't done causing trouble, but this time, it should be harmless. Right? (Right...?)

Taking inspiration from a creative mishap, the Stars have decided to effectively render the city in greyscale--including the people residing in it--to see what really makes everyone so colourful. Thankfully, most people will start with a base hue.

What does that mean, though? Here's a handy-dandy list of notes!

As soon as it strikes midnight that night, your muse will find that they've been completely greyscaled, save for one colour that represents who they are at their core, and only that colour! - Think of it like those 'what colour is your soul' quizzes. If your muse was only one hue, what would it be? For example, a character that is inherently cheery might turn completely yellow or pink, while a hot-headed character may turn red or orange to reflect their personality.

Your muse cannot help but feel and act whatever hue/personality they seem to be. However! The more your muse interacts with the people around them, the more colours (and feelings/facets of their personality) will open up to them. This will also physically reflect on them. - If your cheery yellow muse bumps into a sad, blue muse, you'll both have a new colour to express. Now you can feel happy (yellow) AND sad (blue)! And perhaps a sort of melancholy joy, like watching your best friend win that prize you wanted instead of you. Of course, you're happy for them, but sad you didn't win. - Or maybe those two colours mix into being green with envy... And suddenly, you have a new colour ;3

Any inanimate object your muse interacts with (except their Island Issued Cell Phone) will take on your muse's hue. Every step you take will leave a colourful footprint in its wake, every hand rail will have colourful handprints. More on that later.

With enough interactions and perspectives, your muse will be back to their old selves in no time! If, that is, they want to go back to their old selves at all. Maybe another colour palette suits them better than before...?

"It can't be that easy, though."

And, you're right! The experiment did more than reduce everyone to solid (or no) colours! Some other strange things are happening, too. Such as...

The NPCs of the city have not escaped unscathed. Unlike you, though, they have no hue to them at all. However, they'll absorb colours from your muses by proximity and action. - If your deep-green jealous muse is around, NPCs will turn deep-green too, and may want what you have--and might try to take it by force. But a calm mint-coloured muse may just leave you alone and soak up some vibes. - This extends to creatures of the island, too, so watch out!

Sources of water in the city (the ocean, lakes, ponds, swimming pools, etc) will wash away at least one colour from you. (You can still drink and cook with it without any effect, though.) Better not get caught in a rainstorm any time soon!

To combat this, you can find paint cans with a random colour paint in them around the city. You never know what you're going to get, though!

The city itself is completely greyscale, so navigating it might be a challenge without any colourful landmarks to stand out. That being said, your muse will leave colour wherever they go, like they're a giant paint roller. And so will everyone else's muses! Figuring out populated areas will be Very Easy, but you might get disoriented in places that don't get a lot of foot traffic.

These are the major issues...... for now :)

FAQ

"Do I have to pick a hue at the beginning? I can't decide on one."

It's entirely possible that your muse can start in greyscale, and just has No Personality. In that case, they'll take on the hue of the first person they interact with.

"What do we do if a colour has multiple associations with it?"

Each association of that colour is a valid one, and there are no incorrect colour associations. Each colour is whatever you need it to be in the moment. The definition of "red" for your muse may not match the "red" of your RP partner--and that's okay! What may be helpful is to make an event info post explaining your colour choice, how you interpret it, and how it would affect your character!

"Do we have to stick to basic colours like red, yellow, green, blue, etc?"

Nope. Maybe your muse is a mauve, emerald, beige, or aquamarine. Pick any colour you think is best for the moment!

"In theory, could we use the paint cans laying around to add hues to others by splashing them with it or something?"

PVP is enabled, if you want to be a menace! (with mun permission, of course)

"Is the comic in black and white for plot reasons?"

No, I'm just lazy :c

Have a question you don't see on here? You can message the Masterlist!

See you in a week! Make sure to get as many colour perspectives as you can, okay? :)

Honkai: Star rail | Yunli

[zoomingzhuming]

Finally...some food. She found a cookie, and unassumingly took a big bite. Completely normal, right? For the splittest of seconds, she thought that the cookie was rather crumbly, like cookies should be. And then came the flavor.  ... Immediately spitting it out, tears formed in her eyes very quickly as she could cough, throwing the offending cookie down upon the group, it crumbling into powder.

The cookie was in fact, a lie.  The cookie was what she would find out later to be a 'bath bomb'.  She would have trust issues for weeks after this. Such betrayal wounds go deep...

[zoomingzhuming]

A legendary swordmaster? She had approached, seeing a wooden blade and wanting to see if the stranger had their bearings so she could ask some questions, but…the way they talked reminded Yunli of a certain idiot she encountered on the Xianzhou Luofu, boasting of his strength, only to get indignant when she refused to return a sword HE threw away. 

She was half distracted by the food the other was eating but her eyes would close with a resigned sigh ignoring the delicious smell as best she could. She would instead turn to curiosity. 

“I would say something like: 'Oh but you have a wooden sword, so why should I believe you', but my sword got replaced with a wooden one as well. You don't…look like you're from any of the ships of the Xianzhou Alliance. So if you aren't a legend there, where are you a legend from?”

She would sit next to the stranger, or rather, perched more like a cat in a nearby chair. She was more comfortable this way, and a casual head tilt showed her paying more attention. Though…if she sensed any sort of energy similar to the one she knew, she'd most likely lose interest quite quickly. 

@zoomingzhuming

水神 - "Swordmaster? I guess you could say I'm something like that." Saber didn't mince their words even though they were speaking between slurps of ramen. They had just been minding their own business, eating lunch, when this girl had approached them with a pointed question about their swordsmanship.

The wooden sword at their hip probably gave them away.

"I guess you could say my swordsmanship is pretty legendary back home." They were a legendary Japanese god-and-demon slayer, so that was probably an understatement.

This is the most intense cutscene I’ve ever seen of Feixiao 😦

@mewnipendentliked for a starter!

If this were the Zhuming ship, Yunli would easily have found a place to eat something tasty, but the more she wandered in this new world, the hungrier she got. It had gotten to a point where her stomach was complaining to her, fairly loudly to her distraught. Maybe she could find someone to help her out? She could case her eyes about on passerby, looking for someone that seemed safe enough to approach. Judging that was…quite hard, considering they all looked like they came from places other than her home. Her brow would furrow, perplexion written upon her features. A few moments later, someone had caught her eye, and she would approach, her eyes practically gleaming with enthusiasm.  “Hello! Hi, you might not know this, but this, this is my first day here! Do you know where there's anything to eat? I don't think I'll last that much longer…”

She would clutch at her stomach. Oh, the drama.

@sparklingsplendor liked for a starter!

At first Yunli would think it all a dream, but the more and more details she received, information she had gotten, the more she had come to realize just what kind of situation she had been thrust into without her agreeing to. Even Old Mettle was gone in this place, replaced with a wooden sword--far, far too light for any of the heavy swings she's used to. Still, she practice swings away with a puzzled frown, completely in her own world. She only realized at the last possible second she nearly bonked someone on the head with her wooden sword, it taking a skilled twitch of her wrist to move the blade away. Her tone would be almost nonchalant as she would look at her new phone instead of the one she nearly hit.

"So sorry, trying to get my bearings here. Mind stepping out of my range? I'm kind of occupied."
