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.

[Big fucking same my guy, even if you are one swipe of mascara away from walking for Givenchy.]

I'd rather be clothed and well-informed, but hey, what's the after-life without a little mystery? Not like we spend our whole lives thinking on it only to get cucked upon croaking.

[They didn't even get their pamphlet...]

Sure thing, hoss. You want fries with that?

[weeps

his hand goes up from his sword to rub at his left shoulder.]


That's what combat comes down to, yes—whether or not you have what it takes.

[ Permits this, as usual. ]

Is there anyone you know that you can call...?
sarkazm: (15 - nKl7D8G)

[personal profile] sarkazm 2025-02-08 07:12 am (UTC)(link)
Why not! They're easy to hide and overlook, simple to plant-- you can't do much better than that.
faithkept: (lost in the waves)

A waiting room...

[Just humming to himself as he mulls this comparison over. LIKE, IT SEEMS LIKE IT COULD CHECK?? But it's so weird...]

I suppose it makes as much sense as anything else here. Though I do wonder what's meant to happen to those who are sorted elsewhere. It seems too cruel to let someone have a glimpse of an afterlife they can't claim...

[A LOVING GOD WOULDN'T DO THIS.]
kumeyuri: (57)

[personal profile] kumeyuri 2025-02-08 07:13 am (UTC)(link)
That was more info than I needed.

[HE DOESN'T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR BALLS]

But I'd also like more of a contact than a note mentioning a nonexistent pamphlet.

[









thinks of how to put this politely because this is a stranger he's talking to...]


... That was awful, but I get it now.

[fuck]

[ A head tilt. ]

..not one are the same so it might mean something. [ (Not that you know what.) ] Yours reminds me.. almost of a eclipse. Or the events of a lightless hole in space.

[ Black hole. ]
faithkept: (a world where roses bloom)

[personal profile] faithkept 2025-02-08 07:15 am (UTC)(link)
[The afterlife is so damn weird, man.]

I'm feeling well enough, outside of being just a touch dizzy. That fog is certainly disorienting...

[But he'll lead the way over toward their one singular cafe that they can actually sit in instead of having to sit on the reflective FLOOR.]
punnier: game. (question βœ‚ with nobody I know.)

[personal profile] punnier 2025-02-08 07:16 am (UTC)(link)
..Is that what these outfits are?
faithkept: (the self is not so weightless)

[personal profile] faithkept 2025-02-08 07:17 am (UTC)(link)
I do, yes. The god I believe in holds no name, but is quite merciful and loving.
boxcar: (pic#17642724)

[personal profile] boxcar 2025-02-08 07:17 am (UTC)(link)
...

Is that a good thing?

[ Furrowed brow. Lightless hole sounds kind of bad. ]
sarkazm: (11 - TEuf01h)

[personal profile] sarkazm 2025-02-08 07:17 am (UTC)(link)
If you reaaaally want to make it up to me...

[hmmm. she pauses, putting a finger to her chin and making a show of thinking about it.]

There has to be something breakable around here, right?
gutterbound: (075)

[personal profile] gutterbound 2025-02-08 07:18 am (UTC)(link)
If you say so. They have a lot of these in your neck of the woods?

[Trying to imagine how the job market works in this situation but politely listening. Meanwhile his juicy burger appears! Wow!]

...Did they just have it on a warmer or is spontaneous conception a thing, too?
productionhell: (the steamroller is hanging up its ... ro)

[ leads him to sit down so they can both recover a lil ]

... I already tried. The phone doesn't work.
boxcar: (pic#16999431)

[personal profile] boxcar 2025-02-08 07:18 am (UTC)(link)
No name?

How do you call them?
punnier: game. (blep βœ‚ take it easy)

[personal profile] punnier 2025-02-08 07:19 am (UTC)(link)
[ ..Oh. Actually, they feel a bit bad in turn, though.. her response is also so very, very familiar. He can't help but laugh a little. ]

That's okay, just means you've probably got a few good ones up your sleeve too.
sarkazm: (34 - BytkRjC)

[personal profile] sarkazm 2025-02-08 07:19 am (UTC)(link)
Weird. Does everyone look like that where you come from?

[ It's good to know Marcoh listens well. ]

Now no one can accuse you of ruining property.

[ It's a joke/unserious. ]
sarkazm: (6 - RonSWwR)

[personal profile] sarkazm 2025-02-08 07:20 am (UTC)(link)
No way. I'd be enjoying the peace and quiet, for once.

[...okay. maybe she would, a little. he's been much easier to get along with these days, but hell if she'll say it where he can hear.]
faithkept: (wrap its arms around me)

[personal profile] faithkept 2025-02-08 07:20 am (UTC)(link)
[FURRIES AND DEMONS.]

Well! It's good that new experiences can still happen even after death.
boxcar: (pic#17642741)

[personal profile] boxcar 2025-02-08 07:20 am (UTC)(link)
[ Huh. ]

I don't really get anything that's going on, but it's too early to give up. Something has to happen. We can't just sit around doing nothing ordering food forever.
faithkept: (it's right here)

[personal profile] faithkept 2025-02-08 07:21 am (UTC)(link)
[HELP the way he really is.

The way his head cants a little curiously because he does not know the word cucked, but everything else checks.]


I do think we're all in agreement that having our own clothing would have been a much better greeting... [Everything else is fine though! Mostly! Yeah!]

Fries?
boxcar: (pic#17642729)

[personal profile] boxcar 2025-02-08 07:22 am (UTC)(link)
I try not to. I will break down a door if something might be behind it though.

[ The doors that are too strong if he can't bust them down in one turn. ]
