📌 Welcome

Think for a moment. What's the last thing you remember, exactly? Were you with your loved ones? Were you fighting for your life? Whatever the case may be, the story ends like this: you died. Regardless of how important circumstances were, you have been eliminated from your own world. That's all there is.

Perhaps it will surprise you to wake up surrounded by the sky in every direction. What's above is reflected below in the shallow water that ripples beneath you without getting you wet. Strangely, what lies beneath this water is a mystery to you, and it feels more like walking on a glass surface, completely solid and clear underfoot.

Despite the fact you've perished, nothing hurts. Any injuries you arrived with have been neatly bandaged, and anything life-threatening has been mended enough that it no longer is. The warm sunshine probably feels good on your skin right now, doesn't it? The temperature is perfect, and you feel oddly comfortable considering the circumstances.

You aren't the only one rousing, however. Strangers around you also blink into consciousness, glowing halos flickering to life and floating over their heads. It might be hard to see the shape of your own halo looking up, but your reflection on the ground should help with that. Reaching up to touch it will prove futile. It's intangible, though your hand feels a little warm passing through it.

Your first instinct might be to leave. Can't blame you. You're in a strange place surrounded by strange people and no sense of direction. You might even try to use one of your powers from your home world to escape, but try as you might they don't appear to work. Worry not though; it looks like this place has bestowed some gifts upon you. Within your vicinity you have have one item from home. You have a gift box with your name on it. And, of course, you have the brand new sexy angel costume that you're already wearing! 😇

So what are you waiting for? Up and at 'em! The island has plenty of space to explore, though as you approach the edge it fades slowly into a thick fog. Pressing onward into the fog will disorient you and soon you'll find yourself completely turned around right back where you started. Probably best to stick to this area.

But hey, there's plenty to look at still! Instead of empty space, scattered around the island you'll see glassy, transparent protrusions from the ground. Most of them... well, you can't quite make out the shape. Could be buildings. Could be trees. Could be objects on the ground. Flowers, maybe? Their form doesn't seem to want to settle, and the light catching on their edges isn't really as illuminating as you'd like.

There is one exception to this. One shape seems to be more stable than the rest, less transparent and instead just... hazy. It's like you're looking at it through glasses with the wrong prescription. Even though it's blurry, you can tell that it's a cafe, and its door is wide open. Thoughtful, right? Whoever or whatever brought you here, at least they don't want you to starve!

Though no one is manning the counter, you can order your desired meal off of the slightly-clearer touch screen menu that offers up any kind of fast food you could want. There are also two restrooms in the back, with the keys hanging up on the wall beside them. That aside, there doesn't appear to be anything else open and you're left to your own devices.

We understand this is a lot to process, so take your time adjusting. And remember: everything is fine.

🎁 Gift Basket

As mentioned, each of you wake up with your item from home and a gift box with your name on it. There's a printed note attached to the fancy ribbon tying it off. It reads: Enjoy a welcome gift from us! For any questions, please refer to the informational pamphlet inside. ... but naturally, no such pamphlet seems to exist.

Each box contains the following:

📱
Cell Phone

A smartphone. Text and call to your heart's content. Just kidding! There's no service yet.
At least the camera and notes app work.

🖊️
Pen

One encouraging pen of your choice. Blue ink!

🥚
Egg

A large egg the color of your halo. About ostrich egg sized. Warm.

⚔️
Toy Lightsaber

A collapsible toy lightsaber! Lights up the same color as your halo.

🧸
Squishmallow

A small squishmallow! Any animal or item that would suit your personality.

🧶
One Crocheted Accessory

A cute scarf/mittens/hat/etc, handmade in a color that suits you.

[ ? ]

Does it matter if the egg is cold or warm...? If it's warm, it might mean it was just freshly laid.

Though I don't know any chickens that lay eggs as big as these...

[historicals]

I think this is about the only sword I could ever wield...

[ taair says with a little laugh - he ducks his head in gratitude briefly and takes the toy from him. ]

Thank you, young man - I was hardly expecting it to react like that! A toy, or something like it...?

[boxcar]

[ Behold. Rat Squishmallow. Marcoh seems startled to be caught with this in his hand, looking vaguely flustered immediately. ]

Uh... I... I don't know.

[

Holds it out to Adolphe. You want to hold it? ]

[sacredpath]

Some other plane of existence? That's the most I can conclude. But not one I've ever heard of before.

[faithkept]

Ah, thank you! [IT'S TEA! He's a tea drinker, not a coffee drinker... Well. He's a wine drinker but there's no wine here, which is truly tragic. WHAT KIND OF HEAVEN IS THIS.]

I'd thought to go walking around a little more. Have you done much exploring yet?

[spiritbalm]

[ it says You're The Bomb!

he can take it though. anders is SCOWLING in return. ]

Give it back, I need that.

[noirges]

[ ?

mirrors the peace sign as a foreign gesture? ]

... you sure? I can also try to find a bucket if you're feeling sick...

[productionhell]

[ a woman in this outfit gives him a little smile and takes one of the drinks ]

[ she has a nasty-looking bruise on her cheek ]

Oh, of course! I wouldn't want these to go to waste.

[peripheries]

Not at all.

I've just never had a gift before and I want to see if anyone got something better.

[SO NORMAL]

[rippled]

[ watches him stumble back...

... ]

Ah. Another vanquished.

[outdistanced]

It's the worst dream I've ever had, that's for sure. At least let me wear something for guys!

[ GOD.

he pauses, though, glancing up at akihiko. ]

...I usually dream of people I know, too.

B

[ziosar]

Alright?

[Sure! He'll take it, and looking at it and seeing it's tea...]

Is there even such a thing as alcoholic tea?

[Apparently Claude mentioning the drink is non-alcoholic was taken more as a reassurance about the tea itself instead of the drink in general]

[boxcar]

I don't know that I feel hungry but I could. It doesn't look unsafe.

[ Surely he's seen someone at SOMETHING by now and not just people smashing the screen repeatedly.

Ok, he'll go approach the counter then. You comin' Uruha? ]

[midway]

[ i just think it creates a certain vision

Anyway, Claude doesn't seem to mind the audience, expression shifting to a smile. ]

Just that I'm going to need a lot more force if I want to continue.

he wasnt waiting for this

[chrysanths]

[ Cool. He's discovering that a bunch of people here are just freaks. Maybe this is some weird lucid dream he's having, but damn. Y'all are so weird. ]

...

[ So he just stares at Akihiko with a bit of judgment. ]

[faithkept]

[NOOO AKIHIKO YOUR EGG BABY!!!!! Lucas just laughs at the serious statement, though, the sound light and chiming.]

To care for a life from birth is the very definition of parenthood, is it not? Do take care of yours kindly when it hatches, dear.

[IF IT HATCHES... Maybe they will all just eat them.]

[noirges]

I'm not sure, but it might at least taste a little better. I feel like an already bad day could be made worse by a terrible meal.

I'm not sure what else I can try to do to help... but do let me know if something comes to mind.

[rippled]

I am being very careful.

[ they have already hit two people with it. ]

[fried]

[ he does a little ear flicky when lucas speaks! he doesn't look over, but his ears swivel a bit towards him. ]

Haha, no, there isn't. [ bemused. ] It feels wonderful. Perfect, in fact, which is... interesting.

[productionhell]

[ a woman in this outfit jumps between him and the nuggets. she already has a nasty-looking bruise on her cheek, and now she is going to be his shield against nuggies ]

Hold on, mister, I've got it!

[ a nugget beans her in the eye ]

Re: iii

[sacredpath]

The halo is, well. [a moment of hesitation, but then she frowns like she's setting her mind to something.] Fine. Perfectly acceptable. It does have a meaning to me, and I'm beginning to understand.

It's the rest of it, really. The soft toys and eggs and this outfit. Not really my color.

[midway]

[ Makes a c'mere gesture. ]

[noirges]

[ yves shifts the box in his hands so that it's angled to catch the fastballed burger ]

Score!! Ten points!

i

[florescences]

Who do you want to call? A friend? Your mother? Your local authority?

[ maybe she'll tell him there's no service soon. ]

[boxcar]

[ This is Sicilian racist...... no I'm kidding. ]

I -- [ He wouldn't have been sure how to answer this but given Yves just straight up answered for him, he looks more uncertain for a moment before nodding. ] I think it might've been the same.
