📌 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.

[DEFENDS HIM WITH MY LIFE!!!!!!!]

That would be Heaven, yes... It's hard to say whether or not that's where we are, currently.

[faithkept]

[HELP. The way he's trying so hard not to look at The Ears but his gaze automatically moves there when there's movement... Immediately returns to politely looking at this man's face, though.]

Of course they are. Have you not been there yet? ...Are you hungry?

[boxcar]

[ You know they want to just put in Jesus Christ into fate/ so bad. ]

That's okay. I'm not sure it really matters to anyone but me here.

[ He does seem slightly bothered by that but not like intensely. ]

[faithkept]

[No particular reason.........

What lovely eyes they have!!!]

Ah, perhaps not. Is such a thing common, as you know it?

[boxcar]

You don't think it'll just give out from under do you?

[ Imagine. ]

[fried]

[ oh!! his ears perk up a little at that. ]

I see. So you have interplanetary travel?

[rippled]

I do think it helps but matters more in perspective though. You are not the first person to say that I don't know something that is common knowledge where they are from, so it does imply we are not from the same place.

[ this would be much easier to tell if they were all in their regular clothing instead of SEXY ANGELS. ]

[fried]

[ i know my laptop said no, fuck you re: icons ]

There certainly are a lot of us. [ agreed... ] Hm.

Well, in any case. Would you mind company in trying to find a kitchen?

[rippled]

Not at all! But there are many things here that are not common as I know it.

[ they lift up their burgwich. example one. ]

[faithkept]

[THAT WOULD BE WELL WITHIN THEIR SCOPE OF LUCK.]

It's not impossible, but I'd say it's unlikely. [Another lil tappytap with the toe of his stupid sexy angel sandal.] Does it worry you?

[faithkept]

A very good point!

[Lifting up his burgwich as well. A TOAST.]

It seems nearly everything in this afterlife is quite new and unusual to nearly everyone.

[boxcar]

That's true but I'm not sure what it means.

Is it some kind of punishment to be alone in a place like this?

[boxcar]

Maybe? Things haven't been going that well lately. I almost stepped in a bear trap.

[berserketype]

[ oh my phone’s loading them no problem. wow. ]

Would I? That’s what I came back here for in the first place. Y’think there’s anyone workin’ here we could ask? Or maybe a door we could crack open…

[berserketype]

[ me as you ]

Y’think it’s some kind of scam?

[berserketype]

[ i’m gonna change the spelling a little every time now ]

Probably, if you never seen a paripus before. Clemar, Roussainte and Ishkian mean nothin’ to ya either?

[faithkept]

—Here?

[BECAUSE IF HE'S TALKING ABOUT WHILE HE'S ALIVE, THAT SEEMS TO PALE IN COMPARISON TO DYING.]

[faithkept]

Ah, goodness, I don't know about that... But I've heard some speculate this may be a "waiting room" of some sorts? An in-between place or a crossroads...? Something like that.

[clockpunk]

But a lonely one? That's kinda sad, man.

[ he hums around another mouthful of Mystery Tots(tm). ]

Guess so. It'll probably hit me later, but s'like... when somethin' almost happens a bunch? So when it finally actually does, it's not really surprising.

[boxcar]

No.

Are they also people with animal ears?

[ The ears he still keeps glancing at. ]

[boxcar]

Oh. No.

That was yesterday.

[ Mb brother. ]

[sarkazm]

Nah, the Medical staff loves me. Always trying to get me to come visit 'em...

[that is not why they want to see her and she knows it.]

[faithkept]

It isn't terribly lonely, is it? The people here are quite rambunctious.

[There is so much chaos all over the place. My god. BUT ALSO HELLO. His brow furrows a little, which can't even really be seen thanks to his stupid fringe.]

Were you often in dangerous situations back in your life, then?

[faithkept]

[ALMOST STEPPED IN A BEAR TRAP AND THEN DIED.]

...Was the bear trap a separate issue from the one that ended up taking your life...?

[clockpunk]

Uh. Nah. Man, this one's tough to explain...

[ like he should be worried about it being unbelievable when they're currently sitting in a barely-formed cosmic diner or whatever. ]

To most people, Cray was like... fictional. 'cept some people know it isn't. Place is full of types we don't have on Earth.
