πŸ“Œ 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! πŸ˜‡

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:

πŸ“±
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.
πŸ–ŠοΈ
Pen
One encouraging pen of your choice. Blue ink!
πŸ₯š
Egg
A large egg the color of your halo. About ostrich egg sized. Warm.
βš”οΈ
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.

[GRANDPA...

Also that is sooo many not white words and he's just a little flustered because he's going to struggle with the pronunciation here but MY GOD HE'LL DO HIS LIL FRENCH BEST.]


No need to apologize! I quite forgot, myself. It's a pleasure to meet you, Jiaoqiu; my name is Lucas.

You are the only person I've spoken to that seemed familiar with the universe at large.

[ he hasn't seen jing yuan yet so ]

I wonder why that is.

[She'll pick out the phone.]

It's a smart phone, usually you can use it to call, text and take pictures. Sometimes people put games on them.

"Maker"? Is that what you call your god?
productionhell: (i need the good stuff)

[personal profile] productionhell 2025-02-08 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
I do, yes.

[ holds up this one ]

I kind of love it, to be honest.

Sure it does, but still. Not everyone can move like that.
faithkept: (so they may have a chance)

[personal profile] faithkept 2025-02-08 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
I would like to believe it'd be so simple. [Glancing in the direction of the absolute fuckin nothing that they currently reside in.]

It does have a dream-like quality to it, doesn't it? This place.

[ Akihiko fists a path and Jacopo... Has been watching this from the inside??? ]

You're... Punching the food.

[ Actually, he's speechless because why. ]
spiritbalm: (FA_16)

[personal profile] spiritbalm 2025-02-08 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
Far far too early to determine that with any certainty.

[ he's only ribbing though. he'll risk coming within swingin' range. ]

It's disorienting.
punnier: game. (hide βœ‚ but i can feel a kick down)

[personal profile] punnier 2025-02-08 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
[ A weird gestures happens from them, a hand raising as if to grab and pull something down but. There's nothing on their head so they just tuck their arms back down. ]

..It sorta seems that way?
nonmagicuser: (pic#17675635)

[personal profile] nonmagicuser 2025-02-08 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
[ don't think about the fact they had this whole conversation with their bits flapping in the breeze ]

...Sure. Take your time.

[ he has four years to catch up on after all ]

I'll find something to keep me busy.

[ Honestly he doesn't seem that fazed about being here in a sexy angel outfit. It would've been embarrassing but the novelty ran off so fast when he saw literally everyone else is also like this. ]

Some people said it and I do believe it. I think I died.

[ A little bit grimaced, but he tilts his head at the next thing. ]

It's that place, right... Kingdom of Edo?

......

[He just extends his hand upwards and finds that his own is intangible as well]

It's been a long day.

[Like that's an apology for making a fool of himself today, really]
productionhell: (or absolutely nothing at all)

[personal profile] productionhell 2025-02-08 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
But you're mortal? If you don't mind me asking...

[personal profile] purities 2025-02-08 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
It's a cheap trinket. Useless. Only weak men would be placated by it.

[personal profile] florescences 2025-02-08 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
Aww, can't you trust a cute girl if she says you're cute?

[ she knows what cuteness is. ]

Uh-huh. I did. It's nowhere I've been before.
fightolive: (081)

[personal profile] fightolive 2025-02-08 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
The universe is so vast... It's hard for every planet to know about all the other ones. It's not impossible some of them haven't started interastral travel yet.
productionhell: (i've had more psychotic episodes than tw)

[personal profile] productionhell 2025-02-08 05:02 am (UTC)(link)
Well, of course! That's the ideal. But sometimes people don't know what the best gift is, you know? If you had to buy a gift for me, what would you buy?

[ this is not a fair question because she loves everything ]
apoisoncary: <user name="tanabata"> (11)

[personal profile] apoisoncary 2025-02-08 05:02 am (UTC)(link)
I used to work as an apothecary.

[ Making a note that he likes eggs and stuffed animals... ]

Minding isn't the same as preferring.
punnier: game. (happy βœ‚ relax)

[personal profile] punnier 2025-02-08 05:02 am (UTC)(link)
[ people humoring Siffrin by laughing....

which is to say he brightens up at that laugh, pleased. More so when Yves joins in. Oh!!! A fellow pun enjoyer? ]


Sounds like we have the appetite for it.

[ He just nods solemnly and presents his own. ]

I did.
ziosar: 46 (46)

[personal profile] ziosar 2025-02-08 05:02 am (UTC)(link)
Not a bad thought. I'll try that -- and you can carry me out of here once I injure my ankle.

[You could have just said 'no' without the deadpan sarcasm, Akihiko]

[personal profile] trifocal 2025-02-08 05:02 am (UTC)(link)
[ cleric problems!!! ]

You mean, it may be that it's meant to be here...? [ Looking around. ] ... I suppose we still don't fully know what "here" is...

[ Which means she can't confirm or deny that, really. ]
productionhell: (you know that either means)

[personal profile] productionhell 2025-02-08 05:02 am (UTC)(link)
What do you want to eat, Samuel?

[ charlie is flicking through the options... slowly bc the tablet is broken now ]
