📌 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.

[historicals]

No, but that's never stopped me from talking to similar creatures before.

[ he says lightly - clearly joking as he feeds it more charcuterie. ]

Strange circumstances aside, it is nice to have company, isn't it? I imagine this would be even more stressful alone.

[peripheries]

Why would I get you a gift? I don't know you.

[purities]

[ROLLS EYES...]

This isn't the first time I've been injured. I know how to take care of myself.

[rippled]

It is very entertaining!

[ continues waving it ]

[berserketype]

[ just a big scarf for a perfectly normal height guy in a land of tall weirdos. ]

What, the whole bein' dead thing? Not something that happens everyday. Figured it'd be more.... empty. Emptier.

[boxcar]

...

[ FROWNS. He isn't saying what about that he doesn't like but he doesn't seem to appreciate it. ]

I hope not. I don't mind a little drizzle.

[outdistanced]

Well, if I had any connection, I'd be able to text somebody and go home.

[ not how it works but sure. he looks up and realizes the phone probably isn't what she's talking about. ]

Oh. Find what you want on the screen, touch the picture, and it'll order for you.

[berserketype]

... S'gonna be a boring forever if all we got's bad food and a lot of blue.

[ eesh. ]

What happened? It boot you back here or somethin'?

[boxcar]

...

I had reasons to be a little on edge. I'm not doing that anymore. Everybody here seems like good people.

[jiaohua]

[hey uh... what the hell is that icon? THE WAY YOU FIXED IT BEFORE I FINISHED TYPING SO NOW I JUST LOOK INSANE]

It's... a stressful situation to find ourselves in, I suppose. You're certainly handling it better than... [honestly i want to say this is happening while, like, dan is smashing his head on things or roaring and tearing his squishmallow and clothes apart just because they're both early-day prompts and it's funny to imagine this conversation happening while that's going on in the background. so.

she glanes briefly in his direction and steps a little closer to marcoh.] ...um, handling it better than some of the rest of us.

[peripheries]

What makes people interesting to you? I only cared for Shinji-kun out of all the people I met.

[He did have interest in Rei Ayanami but more for what she was rather than who she was.]

[spiritbalm]

Considering where we are, it doesn't seem as if you do.

[fried]

[ mt. burger... so much wasted food, jiaoqiu thinks, tsk. ]

Good idea. [ his ear flicks. ] Would you do an old fox a favor? If you see a first aid kit, would you mind bringing it to me?

[purities]

Huh. [witchcraft.] Some kind of... lantern, then.

iii

[outdistanced]

[ oh god where does he stare first. the third eye, the lance, the nugget forest???? ]

It's, uh, probably best not to ask.

[boxcar]

Yes. But not really for me.

[ He's one of those 13-in-1 people. ]

Anyway, thanks. I was just curious.

[jiaohua]

[she supposes she will pull out her own lightsaber and wave it around.

]

[berserketype]

[ the concern i felt was real. anyway, basilio side steps another flying burger and gives the touch screen an exasperated look. ]

Don't s'ppose you know if these things have a weak spot or somethin', do ya?

[berserketype]

Yeah.

[ yeah. ]

[rippled]

I am also not sure if we can all even fit inside comfortably... it appears like there's almost forty of us.

[ which is a lot of people to just be

hanging around

or shoved into a cafe ]

[foreverphantom]

[ oh, he recognizes the manic villain laugh. he's done that plenty of times himself, even.

what a perfect opportunity to try and nab the knife while this guy's distracted!! ]

[spiritbalm]

The Chantry is the Chantry.

[ duh. but no, fine, he understands why a demon might ask these kind of curious questions. they tend to be kind of fascinated by the mundane world. ]

It is a religious organization, devoted to spreading the word of Andraste and the Maker, through the Chant of Light. Its seat of power is in Orlais, but its laws and creeds spread across Thedas - at least in the South and the Free Marches.

[jiaohua]

Something like that. I was very careful to walk in a straight line, but... somehow I ended up right back where I started, and I don't know how.

[rippled]

A few people have called it a toy, but it is unlike any toy I have seen before.

[foreverphantom]

No.
