📌 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.

[fried]

[ he really should be better at this considering he has a whole ass cell phone at home, but here he is. squinting at it like it holds many mysteries. ]

Correct. And then it serves you mediocre food.

[ nyeh ]

[berserketype]

[ try harder he has an A+ in chastity ]

If that’s meant to be how you fish for compliments, you might want to try somethin’ new. [ because wow.

but he looks at the burger. ]

Pretty sure it’s lunch. Or somethin’ like that.

[rippled]

... is that so?

[ they look down at the phone again. ]

What era do you suppose we're in right now?

[kumeyuri]

[...]

You could've told me you were a coach or teacher yourself and I'd have believed it with the way you talk, you know.

[boxcar]

It tastes okay?

[ He doesn't have many standards. ]

It's mostly filling stuff.

[fried]

[ a beat. ]

Don't overwork yourself, now. Doctor's orders.

[kumeyuri]

[OH GOD NOT ANOTHER ONE TALKING ABOUT STUFF LIKE TIME AND WORLDS this is too much for uruha's paygrade]

... Do you think we're in a different era than expected?

[rippled]

[ thank you. they stare. ]

I cannot tell what yours is meant to be. It looks a little ominous.

[berserketype]

[ grits teeth jan go to bed i say as i tag you ]

Me ‘either, mate. I don’t know shite about magla or how any of that works beyond the basics. Never been my thing.

[ he looks at the angry little touchscreen dubiously. ] ‘Specially nothin’ like this.

[fried]

[ PICKLEBALL? ]

Do you think we could file a complaint? [ karens god ]

[rippled]

Well, there are many different ways to do so!

[ munch munch munch ]

There is not much else to do here.

[boxcar]

[ He pauses a bit. Thinks about that. You know how sometimes people will say a thing and you're like oh thank god that means I'm being amply IC. This is that response. Thank you for always validating me every game Janjan. ]

I took a lot of the lessons I learned to heart. I wouldn't mind teaching other people to defend themselves too. It's a good skill to have.

[berserketype]

[ basilioisbuffering.gif ]

…

None of that means shite to me, mate.

[ gestures vaguely too ] Most of y’look like Elda, like I said. But if you don’t know what that is, and I don’t have a clue what a Lomb…erdian? Is? Then I’ve got no clue.

[rippled]

Perhaps.

[ they wave their hand through their own. ]

Their meaning evades me.

[clockpunk]

[ IT LOOKED SAD ALL KNOCKED OVER!!!!! crosses his arms again GOD

and sighs. ]

Yeah, well, stuff happens. [ gives jiaoqiu another quick look-over. the ears... ] You a warbeast?

[boxcar]

Is it supposed to be something?

[ Well everyone else's seems to be something quite pretty. He's seen a lot of flowers and stars and points in particular. He's not sure what that means for himself. ]

[rippled]

If it is resorting to violence, we may need to take it down.

[ what if it goes after someone weak against potato...? ]

[berserketype]

[ this is the light of my life aki. ]

Aye, well. What’s a broken neck to a dead guy anyway?

[fried]

[ they should've made jiaoqiu a healer but with the exact same kit tbh. boils his enemies into health soup ]

Food is nourishing for both the body and spirit. It's essential to the healing process. You need fuel, to heal, and if it tastes like slop, your soul will eventually wither.

[ he has Strong Opinions on this ]

Hm... I've yet to find someone who enjoys it like I do.

[rippled]

These items, and that place [ they point over at the cafe ] are nothing like I have seen.

[ they hold the pen up. ]

I know writing utensils, but nothing that looks like this. I can only assume this is something that has been adapted through the ages.

[rippled]

Perhaps not in the literal sense...

Well, what they represent may not be as important as what they actually are. Why do we all have one?

[obdure]

It's a privilege to be buried. Even more so to have a proper grave and a marker... But possibly the gist of something similar.

[ Like... Items on your person when you died? But he raises his eyebrows. ]

What did you even get?

[ Cellphone stowed away, he dismisses this with a wave of his hand because he also don't know shit. Solidarity. ]

[fried]

[ he cares about the stuffed animal and that is sweet

as for the question, jiaoqiu's eyebrows raise. ]

That's a new one. [ he has been called a furry so many times but not this one ] I'm a foxian. Warbeast is a little barbaric, is it not?

[faithkept]

It's a rather unusual afterlife, isn't it?

[The afterlife is full of sandwiches and clowns...]

[boxcar]

It's the region where I'm from.

[ Helpfully provides. ]

Okay, and you're Paripus. And there's a lot of you where you're from?
