📌 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.

[jiaohua]

It's a bit unsettling, all this wide open space.

[spiritbalm]

I won't help them. Gastrointestinal issues are the worst problems.

[jiaohua]

[what's it like to not have to pay for food...]

I suppose that's fair enough. [she will tap on the screen and browse through things though. western-style fast food... she doesn't know what the hell any of this is.] ..."chicken nuggets"? What part of a chicken makes a nugget?

[purities]

Mankind. You sound detached from it.

[rippled]

Well, as long as no one causes any trouble. We seem to be a busy bunch.

[ they glance in the direction of the restroom. ]

[jiaohua]

[


she flees into the cafe and jumps up onto a table to try to avoid getting mauled by the owlbear cub]

[spiritbalm]

[ GLANCING AT THE MASSIVE PILE OF FOOD? ]

[peripheries]

In a way. My fate had been predetermined for me and so I sought to escape it. Death is perhaps the truest freedom there is.

[rippled]

[ they watch her carefully, before mimicking the movements... trying to get them right... ]

[jiaohua]

[thinks about dan tearing apart his squishmallow and his clothes in his toplevel]

Some of us may have already.

[rippled]

Boo. The food is not the problem!

Are you sure you don't want a sandwich?

[ they hold out burger... attempt number two... ]

[jiaohua]

That's the sort of work for a doctor anyway.

[which she is decidedly not, thank you.]

[jiaohua]

[she slows down the tracing just a bit to make it easier for them to copy]

[sacredpath]

[this kid would be such a hit with the sharrans.]

Unexpectedly wise. Too bad you're here instead.

[rippled]

[ oh thank you. ]

You are quite good.

[jiaohua]

It's a bit like sketching out designs for embroidery. Only in the air instead of on paper, I suppose. [she stops tracing designs to examine the lightsaber more closely.] I've never seen one of these before.

[outdistanced]

Whatever they've got? I don't know. I'm not a cook.

[fightolive]

You should get one for yourself too.

[apoisoncary]

[ She will remember that. ]

Yes. While I wouldn't mind studying other fields, I enjoy making medicine. [ She's trying not to smile at that and failing ]

[jiaohua]

[ew.




she orders a pathetic fast-food salad and steps out of the way so he can place his order.]

[sacredpath]

[she looks at the tablet...]

It permits us to request more burgers. So perhaps it would also permit us to request fewer?

[apoisoncary]

[ did she abandon her plush ]

Suppose we'll have to wait to see what purpose they were intended to serve.

[ but waiting... ]

Have you been inside of the building yet?

[sacredpath]

I'm honestly not sure what you're going on about. Okay, very well, sir. I am a mage.

[sacredpath]

[she's just still sitting where she was sitting.]

Why don't you go ahead without me and report back? And I'll go ahead and do my own investigation as well. If we split up, we'll cover more ground.

[sacredpath]

An arm. Such as -

[gesturing to her arm?]
