📌 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.

[darkholder]

[it is extremely technically true in her case too so it's fine!! she gives a little nod.]

Yes. I'd say we both have enough of those at the moment.

[chrysanths]

[ He takes the bendy straw out, thank you very much. He's chugging the water. Obviously, that doesn't help him too much, but in his mind, there is some sort of peace that it did (copium x100). ]

I'm--

[ COUGH COUGH WHEEZE ]

--breathing!

[foreverphantom]

Especially if it's a cute little bird. I'd rather crush it beneath my heel.

[faithkept]

[🥺

This is such a funny fucking halo though, my god. There is perhaps the barest hint of hesitation, but he's still smiling!]

It doesn't seem very out of place, at least. Ah - would you like me to take a picture of you so that you can see yours? It's very beautiful.

[trifocal]

Oh...

... Ah. I apologize for asking about something so personal, when I haven't even asked your name yet. I am Euphausia, but you may call me Eupha if you prefer.

[productionhell]

Well.... I can't say I know you enough to be sure....

[ a bit of a strained smile ]

But ah--- are you okay?

[rippled]

Vaguely.

It did not sound like a place one can be born into.

[outdistanced]

Never heard of Daxing... Is that somewhere in Asia?

[ aka outside of the tower... the forbidden frontiers. ]

They usually give it to the little kids in the Tower, but they're pretty normal foods. I never thought of what parts they make it from, though. Why would that make a difference?

cutting arm warning just in case

[apoisoncary]

Alright. [ she won't argue and thank you mizu for your consideration

anyways time to cut her arm yippee. aiming for the unmarred part just under her wrist. ]

I still feel the normal amount of pain.

[chrysanths]

First of all, you're d--stop that!

[ He thrusts the blade into the burger and then flings it back at Jacopo. Die. ]

[berserketype]

Edge of the what?

[rippled]

It may have the opposite effect and make people angrier.

[trifocal]

It does seem a little confusing...

Um, but I think the same concern still applies... I haven't seen any cows around here.

[productionhell]

[ charlie will continue to believe this wholeheartedly despite not knowing her name ]

Er--- that, I'm not sure about. But it certainly looks like it could be a part of Heaven. But I wonder if that isn't... er...

[ she doesn't want to say a "trap" because it feels mean, so she just trails off ]

[jiaohua]

[she nods, reaching up to fully pull the hairpin out of where it's tucked into her hair, then holds it out to him. once it's out of her hair, the stick the dangling ornaments is on appears much longer than it did when it was just sticking out of the side of her hairdo.]

I'm much obliged, Sir...?

[what's your name.]

[berserketype]

M'big brother.

[historicals]

That makes two of us. [ to have new friends... he sets a hand to his heart, touched. ] All of my friendships are rather new, you see. I treasure them very much for it.

You're very kind, Yves, and I thank you very much for the offer. I may have to take you up on that, though of course, I'd offer the same! I may not be much, but I'm always happy to listen - and I have been told I make a good storyteller, if nothing else.

[purities]

[listens to him, like. okay. i don't know what that means. but sure.]

From the screen? No.

[ugghh]

[ this may as well happen.

since it hits, there's a resounding oof - this certainly is unexpected! and yeah, i imagine unbreakable plastic hurts, though it helps that daigo is also pretty solid. he can take the hit.

he takes a step backward due to the force. but he's going to attempt to use his stature to his advantage here to grab thr saber and pull it up over dan's head. ]

That's enough.

[rippled]

Rice, of course!

[ the most important food in the world. ]

And you may call me Saber.

[chrysanths]

Death is pretty personal for everyone, isn't it?

[ Sort of. He sounds tired. ]

I'm Adolphe.

[faithkept]

[NO ONE IS FINE.]

Being in a faintly bizarre afterlife with many unfamiliar people does pose its own problems...

[historicals]

Oh, how wonderful. It sounds like you must have lived a busy life - what was it like?

[faithkept]

Oh, dear. [THIS SASSY LOST VIOLENT CHILD.] And whyever would you want to do that?

[dickkick]

Yeah, well, tough shit, kid—we don't always get what we want. 'Sides, didn't anyone ever tell ya to not mess with other people's stuff?
