📌 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.

♡

[faithkept]

It does give off a bit of a poor impression... Especially for an afterlife?

[WHERE ARE THE VIBES OF OMNIPOTENCE. This just feels like a disorganized office situation and it would make him sweaty if he weren't so chill.]

But I do suppose it could be much worse. The weather is nice, at least.

[faithkept]

You are all so very quick to jump to that conclusion. How hungry are you...?

[SO MANY PEOPLE WANT TO EAT THESE EGG BABIES (they're not babies) BABIES!!!!!]

[faithkept]

[THERE IS SO MUCH ABOUT THIS THAT'S SO HARD TO BELIEVE but if furries can exist, then sure, why can't captured angels...]

Ah... Then it's no wonder. [That he doesn't know how to SAY PLEASE LIKE A NORMAL HUMAN and also has such a dire outlook.] I'm so very sorry if this is what forms the basis of your interaction with humans... Is there no way for you to change to a shape you find more suitable now that you've reached this place?

[faithkept]

[FORGET IT. But also she is so endearing...]

Having a well-rounded base of knowledge is a good thing, as well, but there's certainly nothing wrong in holding favor for a subject. Passion is one of the best ingredients when learning, after all.

[faithkept]

Much to contemplate, I suppose. [SO HE SAYS AND YET HE'S SO VIBIN ABOUT IT.] Shall I show you to the building, then? It's not that hard to find.

[BEING THE ONLY BUILDING THEY CAN SEE.]

[faithkept]

[This man is so mercurial.]

Hopeful, I'd say, but you do seem to be a bit dire.

[purities]

My condolences.

[doesn't sound sorry at all on account of not knowing what the fuck a phone is]

[sacredpath]

[yeah! anyway she gets that he's teasing, it's fine.]

As it should be. I will depend on my own intuition to find it.

[rippled]

Yes, and the small rectangular box.

[ phone. ]

[dickkick]

So, uh, ya gonna order or just keep talkin' to me?

[ SINCE SHE'S JUST BEEN STANDING IN FRONT OF THE TOUCHSCREEN? ]

[florescences]

Hehe, that wouldn't be very fairy tale-like, would it? I wasn't alone.

What about you, Jiaoqiu? How would you describe your life?

[ or his end? ]

[sacredpath]

They are somehow the most suspicious item we were gifted.

[faithkept]

[THE WAY THAT HE STARTLES FOR A SECOND because he's never actually used a working camera in his life, but he also just smiles on reflex when it's requested.]

Oh! I've never had my picture taken before. Do I need to do anything else...?

[sacredpath]

Ah. A metal arm - that's less alarming, then. I will keep a look out for it, then.

[outdistanced]

[ unfortunately for yves this is a side character who knows basically nothing ]

My only guess is maybe he wanted something from the room with the eyes, but I don't know. No one said why he was there, just that he killed some of the guards.

[sacredpath]

...Do you suppose so?

[she hadn't considered that, but it makes some sense.]

He was nowhere near where I fell.

[faithkept]

[IT'S FINE... Somehow he manages to walk fairly gracefully and confidently even with his eyes closed. Though he does immediately stop and open them again as soon as he hears that "oh".]

...Oh, dear. So it seems... It looks like closing one's eyes isn't the answer after all, then.

[fightolive]

[SHE'S TRYING.

Broken screen makes it harder than is has to be.]

It's slow.

[sacredpath]

I... don't know of Kirkwall nor of Ferelden, I'm afraid. Perhaps we are far-flung travelers indeed.

[florescences]

One big introduction, instead of tens of little ones... Efficient and fun.

[ elysia thinks there could be more people. ]

[purities]

Ones that steal my stuff? Yes.

[saying this despite not actually wanting the lightsaber in the first place

TRIES TO YANK IT BACK]

[productionhell]

Razzle!

[ a friend flies over... before charlie can even say anything, he starts to eat the burgers and cries ]

... Don't make yourself sick, Razzle.

[sacredpath]

[she will try swiping? it isn't working, really?]

This, I admit, is more vexing than I had assumed.

[florescences]

What's not to be sure about? Do you not think I'm cute? Do you not want to be friends?

[dickkick]

[ aw... he does have a soft spot so he just rubs the back of his neck... ]

Hey, no need to get all dramatic. I'm the one bein' an ass, 'cause I'm guessin' it ain't yer fault that... y'know...

[ he points to his own forehead. ]
