πŸ—ΊοΈ Map
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.

I know, I know... being dead and all. But still. It doesn't hurt to have something nice to pick you up a little bit, right?

[ like a kawaii squishmallow ]
noirges: (ღ don't let me go)

[personal profile] noirges 2025-02-08 06:26 am (UTC)(link)
Oohhh... do you abstain? Should I give you juice instead of wine if I ever find enough to share?

[ he will be... respectful!! but he just smiles at the comment ]

I think my memories around food are pretty strong... People say that I have strange tastes, but I think there's a lot of heart and soul in every dish!

Here. Have mine too.

[With two pens, you'll be likelier to barter successfully! Akihiko doesn't mind losing this, as long as it means she gets to eat something good]

I don't know. Whatever helps them feel better.

Sometimes that's just talking or holding their hand through stuff.
punnier: game. (fight βœ‚ and we go 'round and 'round.)

[personal profile] punnier 2025-02-08 06:26 am (UTC)(link)
Someone that really wanted to ruffle our feathers.

[ Haha, get it.... ]

[ sorry she didn't match his imagination. she will try harder!!! (not really) ]

I'm Elysia. My name matches my beauty. I hope we can be friends, Marcoh.

[ this response could apply to any one of the prompts, any one in particular he's staring at? ]

[ he glances back up towards the sun, closing his eyes fully to just bask again. ]

That may be why it's so blurry and out of focus here. Wherever we are is having a hard time adjusting to the variety.

[personal profile] boxcar 2025-02-08 06:27 am (UTC)(link)
[ I see. Egg is food in F&H. And also the real world... ]

Oh. Yeah, I'd take it of course.
punnier: game. (uh βœ‚ is to leave you.)

[personal profile] punnier 2025-02-08 06:27 am (UTC)(link)
[ Yeah... ]

You'd think there would be a welcoming committee..

[ Thinks about that...... ]

I'd like to see what the vegetarian options are here.
florescences: (50)

[personal profile] florescences 2025-02-08 06:27 am (UTC)(link)
However you want to interpret it. I won't limit you.

[personal profile] gutterbound 2025-02-08 06:28 am (UTC)(link)
Can you die twice? [Also lightly, ignoring the sinking feeling in the pit of his gut.] Imagine that. True, I don't feel I've totally shuffled this mortal coil. Still feeling quite fleshy and mortal in fact. Not to mention the nicotine pangs.

[This is a hell of an introduction. Sorry, but he laughs. Still shaking hands!]

And I'm a man as rank as week-old carry-out. Right back at you, Miss Elysia. I mean, hell, what else are we gonna do?

[Aside from create burger floods.]

[ oooookay

time to get one of those cheap micky d's burgers........ she uses the touch screen easily at least ]
faithkept: (here's to the night)

[personal profile] faithkept 2025-02-08 06:28 am (UTC)(link)
The God of Death does reside over the lands, so I suppose you could say that's the case, yes.
faithkept: (her arms they fall)

[personal profile] faithkept 2025-02-08 06:28 am (UTC)(link)
[He is very politely only looking people in the face, and also trying very hard to not look at their extra eyes or their furry ears, so this is a welcomed break for him.]

I suppose that it keeps things fresh and exciting this way, at least. One never knows what to expect even after reaching the other side.

[WHAT TO EXPECT IS BURGERS, APPARENTLY. His head tilts a little.]

Do you mind? May I please have what you chose? It looks very good.
faithkept: (it's right here)

[personal profile] faithkept 2025-02-08 06:28 am (UTC)(link)
Oh... My, I would have never guessed.

[He already can't tell ages very well, it'd be even WORSE HERE.]
faithkept: (with its leaves)

[personal profile] faithkept 2025-02-08 06:28 am (UTC)(link)
[NOT THE HISOKA MURDER IN THIS ECONOMY.

This is so funny though, he's having a great time gently teasing this serious young man.]


Would you be opposed? I think it would be quite sweet!
faithkept: (while it is rife)

[personal profile] faithkept 2025-02-08 06:28 am (UTC)(link)
[SHE'S SO SWEET HE'S GONNA EXPLODE.]

Thank you very much, by dear. I'll be just a short while.

[Excuse him as he goes shuffling back off toward the edge of the fog and then closes his eyes to take a stroll through it.

Which undoubtedly ends up spitting him back out right where he started, except the problem is everything feels the same when there is fuckall to run into except a few clear protrusions and also other people, so he does not know he's made it back out yet.]
faithkept: (so brown eyes i hold you near)

[personal profile] faithkept 2025-02-08 06:28 am (UTC)(link)
[HELP.]

Ah... [That's so grim. Damn. Imagine not believing in any sort of afterlife at all...] ...Do you find it a decent surprise, or one that you dislike?
obdure: (pic#17647845)

[personal profile] obdure 2025-02-08 06:28 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. All of that spiel about being devout to our Father in the Heavens.

[ Blah blah blah, he's disinterested in that. The burgers keep coming, but they're flooding a different area of the cafe. ]

Do you believe this to be the afterlife?
boxcar: (pic#17642720)

[personal profile] boxcar 2025-02-08 06:28 am (UTC)(link)
You are very pretty.

Sure. I don't see why not. Better to be friends than enemies here.
productionhell: (or absolutely nothing at all)

[personal profile] productionhell 2025-02-08 06:28 am (UTC)(link)
That's--- er, true, but... I'm still happy to meet you, mister. What's your name?

[ she does kind of give him a quizzical look ]

Well, I'm a demon... Isn't that obvious?
noirges: (ღ i was made for loving you)

[personal profile] noirges 2025-02-08 06:29 am (UTC)(link)
[ looks back down at egg... nods! like he is understanding something ]

We'll see, I guess. Some people are talking about finding a way back. It sounds like there's some unfinished business they have.
foreverphantom: (safe to hide)

[personal profile] foreverphantom 2025-02-08 06:29 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, yeah, I'll stop.

[ huffs and starts disemboweling the squishmallow a little more vigorously ]

Of course these would be the only clothes around.
