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.

So my body isn't here? I feel pretty solid though.

...

I don't know. It just feels too quiet. It's more than I thought but it feels too nice, if that makes sense.

[personal profile] fried 2025-02-08 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
No, you didn't. I did.

[ cheerfully! yay, he can be annoying ]

Do you like roasted potatoes?

[personal profile] apoisoncary 2025-02-08 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
You are pretty. [ deadpan ]

Does anyone here look like they are international like you?
nonmagicuser: (pic#17632572)

[personal profile] nonmagicuser 2025-02-08 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
[ eyeballs the general direction everyone else is in and all their crazy shit ]

You're right. Somehow I doubt I'm in Thedas anymore.
faithkept: (lost in the waves)

[personal profile] faithkept 2025-02-08 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, my... No stars to be found, certainly.

[GLANCING AROUND at the millions skies they're surrounded by on all sides.]

...What if we try walking with our eyes closed, then? If it's designed to baffle the senses.

Especially with the halos... that's just making it personal. The only ones who're supposed to have those are those stuck-up Lateran killjoys.
productionhell: (if this icon isn't 100x100 i will cry)

[personal profile] productionhell 2025-02-08 05:28 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, they know. Angels are the ones executing my people.

[ angry mad ]

I haven't ever met someone with horns before.

[ or even heard of it. now she's running through how it could be possible ]

Do they grow back if you lose them?
spiritbalm: (BA_044)

[personal profile] spiritbalm 2025-02-08 05:28 am (UTC)(link)
[ in the ever eternal words of claude: yikes! ]

Are we here to debate the inconsequentiality of lives or argue about pens?
punnier: game. (curious βœ‚ home is not a habour)

[personal profile] punnier 2025-02-08 05:28 am (UTC)(link)
[ Together, they are Eupha. Three eyes.

Instead of a verbal reply, he nods. We ride! In which, Siffrin moves a bit ahead to take their spot in the lead. Just assuming he'll be following after them as they enter the Fog...

How many times can they do this before Mods ratshake us. ]

[personal profile] florescences 2025-02-08 05:28 am (UTC)(link)
It's a date~ Let's go.

[ to the still not super in focus cafe. ]

[personal profile] purities 2025-02-08 05:28 am (UTC)(link)
Have you tried it yet?
faithkept: (wrap its arms around me)

[personal profile] faithkept 2025-02-08 05:28 am (UTC)(link)
Out of the food and drinks, yes.

[Out of the Heaven(???) on a whole, absolutely not, but he is too polite to be like "what the hell is a furry and why are they all here."]
boxcar: (pic#16999430)

[personal profile] boxcar 2025-02-08 05:28 am (UTC)(link)
It feels that way. It doesn't seem like anybody is a bad person...

I don't understand anything that's going on. Why the box of stuff. Why this.

[ Looks at his outfit. ]

Or that.

[ Points to their halo. ]
sarkazm: (16 - xUNKS1t)

[personal profile] sarkazm 2025-02-08 05:29 am (UTC)(link)
No, you're missing everything.

[no feathers? scales? nothing? what are your ears so small for?]

[personal profile] darkholder 2025-02-08 05:29 am (UTC)(link)
If you think you shouldn't be in Heaven, then I doubt we're there. And even gods can be killed, so I'm not sure how much immortality matters in this situation.

[personal profile] fried 2025-02-08 05:29 am (UTC)(link)
[ HELP he's trying so hard ]

It's a pleasure, Lucas. [ a little bow of his head. ] At least the company in this place hasn't been lacking, though... I wonder if this is all there is to it.
faithkept: (to reveal the brightest sky)

[personal profile] faithkept 2025-02-08 05:29 am (UTC)(link)
Well! [WELL!!!!!! THEY DID PUT THEM IN SEXY ANGEL OUTFITS SO WHO IS HE TO ARGUE WITH EITHER OF THESE STATEMENTS.]

At the very least, they included a few extra garments in the boxes. Did you receive anything you could cover up with?
productionhell: (they were not MY bees toss)

[personal profile] productionhell 2025-02-08 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
Chocolate donut coming right up!

And actually, that sounds pretty good...

[ it's true, burger mountain and nuggie canyon must be defeated ]
sarkazm: (6 - RonSWwR)

[personal profile] sarkazm 2025-02-08 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
Some of it's nothing but junk. I already ditched half the stuff in that box.
boxcar: (pic#17642768)

[personal profile] boxcar 2025-02-08 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
Well yeah but I meant... if the people in hell are still killing anyway even if they know not doing it is the only way they're not going to burn in the pits or die forever...
darkholder: (pic#17657180)

[personal profile] darkholder 2025-02-08 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
Not yet.

[starts walking that way, though.]
kumeyuri: (71)

[personal profile] kumeyuri 2025-02-08 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, but I gave it to someone else.
faithkept: (wrap its arms around me)

[personal profile] faithkept 2025-02-08 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
ArpΓ©chΓ©le... [The way he has run into so many people who aren't from his island by now but it's still a little surprising every time.]

I'm afraid I haven't heard of Japan before.
nonmagicuser: (pic#17675635)

[personal profile] nonmagicuser 2025-02-08 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
It certainly is unique.

[ the haha! intensifies. he can hear the bleating about evil magisters and their unnatural ways from back home now ]

Call me Hawke. I'll take anything you recommend.
