📌 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.

[ his ears just go down.

so fast. ]

[spiritbalm]

Right.

[ see? not a person. ]

There's good enough reason to be afraid.

[ziosar]

Because we don't need them anymore or because they'd be too useful to have?

[Or both]

[berserketype]

[ oh for the days of being one of those 13-in-1 people. ]

No problem. Thanks for askin' at least.

[boxcar]

[ Exactly what it says on the tin! How it feels to play the game as Marcoh! Anyway I knew I'd eventually misfire a default icon at some point especially bc I've been mobile tagging all day but SOO FUNNY.

But also losing it. Yeah that did happen didn't it. That's a weird teen kinner and probably harmless (in Marcoh terms) but he takes a step between this anyway when she does. ]

I was taught a level head earns you harder punches in the long run. It's important to keep calm.

[foreverphantom]

If you give me that thing I'm going to eviscerate it.

[ and to back up his claims, he is already loosely covered in the cotton stuffing innards of a squishmallow ]

[rippled]

No, it is a place.

Where are you from?

[historicals]

Isn't it? [ interesting, that is - taair huffs, his expression warming immediately, in something like fascination. ]

That there could be multiple worlds - what a fascinating, wonderful concept. It's a bit concerning, how small-minded my studies have been, though, I guess I didn't know any better... though as we're all sitting here, it is a wonderful learning opportunity.

[ which is!! the best!! ]

I should like to hear about yours - whether the faith, or the world back home itself. Though, perhaps after introductions...?

[spiritbalm]

The oppressors tend to disagree. Strongly.

That said, obviously I think so, even if some of us would rather submit to the leash and die like dogs than lift a hand to try and defend ourselves. We should go down fighting, not whimpering. Some have to be pushed.

[jiaohua]

[HER PEN? she is just examining it when he comes over, and she looks a little startled and then a little annoyed when he just goes for it.

which is, in fact, exactly what her pen says. "GO FOR IT".]

Excuse me!

iii

[outdistanced]

Don't bother trying. Nothing can get through, anyway.

[rippled]

[ waves theirs in sync with hers ]

[boxcar]

Does it happen to you often?

[ Either getting asked or having rude no ask pets, either or. ]

[foreverphantom]

[ zeroes in on that knife, and the blood on it, like a hawk

is he holding the knife or is it just on the ground in front of him ]

[purities]

[standing outside splattered in mayonnaise and ketchup.

idly flicks a glob off. stares at him. not mad, just disappointed.]

If we encounter another of those... things. You will not touch it.

[rippled]

–but maybe you won't have to!

[ NOT THE SAD EARS ]

uno

[foreverphantom]

[ scoffs. ]

Obviously.

[boxcar]

I think I might wait outside if that happens.

[ Him leaving probably makes room for like three people anyway. ]

[historicals]

...heavenly chickens....?


[ ????????? ??????? ???? ]

Goodness, life after death is quite philosophical.

[berserketype]

[ looks at him for a moment. ]

To me? Nah. Bit too high up for most people. Other paripus though? Eh. Depends.

Not everyone's so polite's the point.

[trifocal]

[ and yet more ??? ]

Then you must have seen... but I thought you were not to interfere...

[berserketype]

... Well that's a load of shite. We're just stuck here?

[spiritbalm]

[ THOUGHT: ONE MORE DOOR
+1 Half-Light

God dammit, it cannot be. A disgrace! That door in the cafe ... you remember the one, right? The one that leads to the bathroom? Why, in the name of all that's holy, does it not open? *Why*?! There *has* to be a way to get through that unopenable door. By gods, you're the the tallest guy in the murder game -- all doors are supposed to open before you. What will the others in heaven think if you can't open a goddamn door? There must be a way. ]

I'm willing to reset it, but without my magic you really won't enjoy it.

[berserketype]

[ yippee.


oh. his ears go down. not the disappointed look. ]

Well, I know that now.

[foreverphantom]

You don't parent them, you eat them.
