📌 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.

That is convenient. It cuts out the middleman of relaying when I'm not open for audiences.

[cupidsammo]

Hah, well... Super busy, usually! There's always a ton of people wherever you go, and way more buildings than there is nature.

[trifocal]

It seems a little sad, though... to be isolated in that way, only because others would not treat you kindly.

[lightning]

A shame. Though I suppose it's foolish to hope we can still establish contact with the living, when we very much are not.

[ he nods in agreement. ]

Especially devices with limited capabilities. [ a jade abacus (phone) that can't CALL or TEXT? ] Though it is something of a comfort to have a familiar object at hand, when so much is very unfamiliar.

[florescences]

[ no!!! your cute icons matters to me!!!!! ]

Don't you think so? Tragedy may strike at any moment, but if even one bud can survive devastation, isn't that romantic?

[apoisoncary]

[ still on the fence on if she wants to bother with it ]

I suppose communication wouldn't be bad if there was someone you couldn't reach quickly.

[ but... there's no one she'd communicate with here ]

[outdistanced]

Is it...? I never really thought of it that way before. There are so many people there it didn't feel like isolation... and I could live pretty much how I wanted, without the danger.

[outdistanced]

No. No one here even knows what a demiflora is, let alone came from the Tower.

[lightning]

[ that gets an open chuckle from him. ]

'It got bloody wrecked,' then.

[ his smile broadens. ]

Well, I wouldn't say it's my first meal of choice.

What sort of foods do you prefer, then?

[ secretly conducting furry studies in the guise of smalltalk ]

[outdistanced]

I don't know yet. Looks like we have time to figure it out, anyway.

[foreverphantom]

[ cuz they're not gay! ]

You did. But it's waning by the second.

[foreverphantom]

[ rolls his eyes ] Like you're old enough to even know what that is.

[lightning]

[ cants his head with a smile, and picks up a burger as well. ]

Touché. A free meal is hardly anything to scoff at.

[ raises his burger to him in a faux toast. ]

[dickkick]

overflow!

[outdistanced]

And somehow we can still get hungry. It's dumb.

[ugghh]

I don't think anyone should make blind assumptions about their situation. Although information is scarce, no thanks to those missing pamphlets...

But whoever coordinated this is at an advantage. Of course it's easy to believe what you're told when you're lost and confused.

[ugghh]

[ lol lmao ]

Just keep your wits about you. Something'll turn up eventually.

[peripheries]

I've never received a gift from anyone before. So I want as many as possible.

[Carefully setting it into the box!!]

[boxcar]

I do trust my own memories.

[ Just putting that out there that he isn't relying entirely on what is put out in front of him in this moment, but he isn't necessarily denying Daigo. ]

They'll show up soon, maybe. It's weird to leave a note about it and not include it.

[ugghh]

This whole situation is weird.

[lightning]

[ LET'S GOOOOOOO ]

Oh? And the name of this country?

[ FASCINATED.... ]

That is my hope as well. [ her phrasing is interesting, though. "however long." ] ...Do you think we will be here for anything less than eternity?

oh fuck me there's captcha I JUST DON'T WANT TO LEAVE A LORE DROP HANGING

[gutterbound]

[Now his brows are on a steady incline to meet his hairline. Things have taken a sudden twist.]

Sounds pretty damn imaginative to me. Right out of the Twilight Zone in fact. Christ.

[this is so much why is this happening to him, specifically. Incurable disease is one thing, cycling out clones like car models is another.]

Sure, sure, you can't blame people for trying. Desperate times call for desperate measures, or so they say. Still. I mean, shit, where I'm from, the only successful clone thus far has been a goddamn tadpole. Big leap to take a whole island population through the test tube loop.

Are you...

[One of them? Or a new generation? Surely these clones fornicate. Human nature is hard to resist.]

[punnier]

[ Something about that kinda.. hits hard. They grow a bit quieter. ]

..Suppose that's true.

[boxcar]

Ay. It falls to us to make the most of it that we can.

It doesn't seem too bad yet.

[ugghh]
