📌 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.

At this rate we might need more people than we already have to finish this off…

[berserketype]

[ dms the mods like can we just destroy the entire thing can we do that as a treat ]

Right, but it’s taken a pretty hard beatin’ so far. How much more’s it gonna take before it croaks?

[boxcar]

I think they're halos, or they look like it.

They're pretty important in describing things about the afterlife. At least in our church.

[faithkept]

[bicklepall]

I'm afraid I haven't seen a thing that looks like an office around... There is a rather blurry building filled with sandwiches, though.

[rippled]

Do you feel particularly dead? Heartbeat?

[ do you still need to poop



saber would never ask this ]

[boxcar]

......

Um...

[obdure]

[ The house is the church all along... Jacopo's eyes narrow a bit into a squint. ]

... Yes, I'm here getting sad looks of pity.

[ Lucas didn't even look that sad. Jacopo is just being dramatic. ]

[rippled]

[ they bite into a burger. ]

I believe in the power of hunger. Here, have a sandwich.

[ it's a burger. ]

[faithkept]

[THE MYSTERY TOTS... He will also dig in, yum yum.]

Ah, they really are good. [HE'S GLAD... Magically appearing food seems like a bit of a crapshoot but everything's been a hit so far, good work cafe.

ANYWAY. He just nods and then glances up toward his halo as he gestures to it.]

...Good to meet you regardless, though I'm quite sorry to see others here.

[rippled]

That shows how durable it is... that may not be a good sign of there are others here like it.

[ an army of touchscreens. ]

[fried]

Yes, like I said. It's mediocre.

[ it's fine food he guesses!! but it is not hot pot. and that's terrible. ]

It does a serviceable job. You'd think, however, that the afterlife would have a better selection. Or a kitchen.

[clockpunk]

Foxian... huh.

[ he seems genuinely a little embarrassed that he might have said something insensitive, and flounders for a second. ]

My bad- that's just a name, I think? It's not- like, meant to mean anythin' past that.

[rippled]

Oh! What church is that?

[ perhaps this is someone with... deets? ]

[obdure]

[ GOD ]

Have you forgotten how to use words?

[faithkept]

It's not terrible to appreciate the good things as we have them now, yes? A clear sky and some warmth.

[All good things! He straightens back up again, lifting his hand and flexing his fingers.]

It just feels like any other floor one might walk on.

[fried]

It's a pleasure, Mister Dojima.

I'm Jiaoqiu. [ he doesn't have a last name, he's just like cher ]

[clockpunk]

Pretty decent, yup. Can't complain about this, at least.

[ though he might just be hungry. it's hard to tell. ]

Sounds kinda like you were expecting somethin' like this.

[faithkept]

[i understand... I SEE IT AND I UNDERSTAND.......]

There are others here who still have injuries, you know. You wouldn't want to end up walking around with one yourself, would you?

[fried]

[ a little laugh. ]

It's alright. I'm not offended. [ he's just a troll. ] It isn't the most insensitive question I've been asked today. Is that the collective name for all people with animal features, where you're from?

[faithkept]

[SABER SAVING US FROM THE POOP QUESTIONS.

His head cants a little to the side as he considers and also reaches for a second burger, having finished the first.]

I do feel surprisingly... alive. [HE'S STILL HUNGRY.] But I most certainly died, so what else could this be? [And then, curiously:] Do you feel dead?

[berserketype]

[ ok but that would’ve been funny. also help me, dw has really given up on icons. ]

You don’t got to me twice about all that. [ truly. ] Can’t really deal with slop in the first place.

[ he just sticks his tongue out. like a lil kitty. me getting bas by the neck like are you a wolf or a cat or a colf??? explain. ]

Sensitive tastebuds. S’probably someone out here who’s into it though? There’s enough of us that the chance’s pretty high.

[rippled]

Not at all. Although, if the afterlife is meant to be your final resting place, then it wouldn't be that unusual to feel alive there.

[ after all, it's where you're meant to be. ]

The other alternative is that we were revived and sent somewhere.

[boxcar]

It's better than I expected honestly. Beats having to dig through barrels.

[faithkept]

[THE POPE WAS IN THE MAFIA...

This is so funny though this MAN. He immediately looks a little contrite, instead.]

My apologies; I meant no ill. It just sounded so very resigned...

[clockpunk]

Not... exactly where I'm from. No one's got that kinda thing where I'm from.

[ just plain ol' humans on plain ol' earth. ]

But there's a planet out there where that's how it is.
