📌 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.

♡

It isn't. [ It's completely normal to him, at least. ] I prefer my own company over a glass.

[ Like. Alone. ]

[florescences]

[ she will note that for the future.

she claps her hands together. ]

I agree~ I think it's best if the past can make footsteps for the future to use and surpass.

[florescences]

It can be both. The communication part doesn't seem to be working now, but... the camera part does!

[ she holds her phone up. ]

Smile. ♪

[outdistanced]

That doesn't even make any sense. It's just a bathroom.

[ what! is wrong! with you people! ]

I mean... That's how things are in the Tower. [ mostly. ] If everyone just did whatever they wanted, nothing would work. Even if it's true that we're [ his voice breaks a little here ] dead, isn't that the same everywhere?

[florescences]

[ she smiles because he agrees. ]

All of us getting along may be stretch, but I hope none of us become enemies.

[spiritbalm]

You'd have to take it up with Him.

[historicals]

Nonsense - I couldn't think of something further from the truth, at least for me.

[ hands you a napkin hands you a napkin at least until he's done. there you go bud ]

After all, I'd hardly be any sort of historian worth his salt if I only studied the things right in front of me. It would bring me great joy, even just to learn a little!

[florescences]

[ elysia claps. ]

You did it!

[florescences]

You can, if you think about it, but maybe it's better if we can all die once?

[ despite the topic, her tone is pretty lighthearted. they may be dead, but what can she do about it at that very moment? ]

Aww, the first thing is you can do is not be so mean to yourself. You can drop the miss, if we're going to be friends.

[fried]

[ so many of you concern him with your vague references to food scarcity ]

Hmm... I wonder if I can manage hot pot. [ he says thoughtfully. he squints really hard at the screen. ] I do know Miss Samuel found ice cream, earlier today.

[outdistanced]

Babies aren't born from eggs. It should be a bird.

[spiritbalm]

[ then boy do i have a follow up bracket text for you. ]

You think we'll be staying in this state for long?

[noirges]

..... I feel like it should be harder to become an angel than just dying....

Like it's for the most noble and pure souls...? Maybe?

[ local frenchman did not do a single second of bible study ]

[fightolive]

Not in the same way you're describing. My eyesight is generally good.

[peripheries]

Of course. Perhaps the world makes more sense to you now.

[apoisoncary]

I am a little older.

[ but that's old enough??? she's perplexed a moment ]

Ah, I wonder if it's a difference in where we're from... [ that is said more to herself ]

I grew up helping my father out with his work.

[spiritbalm]

No, mostly religious wars.

[trifocal]

[ that's okay. she doesn't seem too bothered with staring. ]

I don't think I can eat any of this unless I know...

[ugghh]

[ deadpan: ] Perhaps you haven't tried hard enough.

[dijun]

As do I, but I have learned over the years it's best to not delve too deeply into hopes, for fear of disappointment. So we will have to find the truth to our situation and see what we're able to do with it.

[ his expression softens at the mention of her brother. ]

The fog doesn't yield answers, at least so far - but perhaps there will be a way for you to do that. Younger, or older, if I may ask?

[noirges]

Whoa, really...? That's amazing.

[ to be able to share information freely and trust that people will act in each other's best interests... ]

Where I'm from, even if there's laws, there's plenty of people who break them because they're desperate or they've been driven to it by difficult circumstances. Or the laws themselves are twisted.

[spiritbalm]

[ he knows when he's getting a "okay sir, i can recognize youre insane and im trying soothing behaviors now" voice, but fine. ]

... Where are you from?

[historicals]

I'd say it hardly feels blue at all.

[ there are so many kind people here, after all - it's hard to be upset about much of anything, though he likely wouldn't be in the first place. ]

As for the Radiant... well - it is something to do with the afterlife, at least where I'm from. It's quite odd not to have heard of it, but not that unusual! Where do you hail from, good fellow? If you don't mind my asking.

[apoisoncary]

They could be useful if we can figure out what they are.

[noirges]

I guess... what do you define as 'the soul'?

[ tilts head ]

Is it something more than personality and memory?
