πŸ“Œ 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! πŸ˜‡

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:

πŸ“±
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.
πŸ–ŠοΈ
Pen
One encouraging pen of your choice. Blue ink!
πŸ₯š
Egg
A large egg the color of your halo. About ostrich egg sized. Warm.
βš”οΈ
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.

Probably. We look like...a bad idea of heaven.

[Akihiko assumed everything about Fidelio's ears and what not are just part of the angel costume somehow, so he doesn't bat an eye at that]

[ Um... He's a child...? He's only 20...?

Anyway, he just blinks. ]


"Apps"...? Are you familiar with this place?

[ It's cute... he looks vaguely put out when Adolphe puts it away. ]

...

[ Oh, um. Ahem. ]

I don't understand. It feels like a welcome package but I don't know where we are.

Charlie! No need to be formal.

[ ah, yes, the bruise.... she looks pained, but still trying to smile through it ]

A touch screen. I think I know how to fix it. Can you cover me?

[ She'll follow at whatever pace she sets, looking at the surroundings.

It's so... Indistinct it puts her on edge.]

[Richie looks up and softly double takes at the mask — all things considered, not the strangest shit on the scene — then shakes his head.]

You don't work here, do you? [Why is there a fish? Do they serve pufferfish here? Fuck, he'd take an easy death at this point for a cheap chance to split.] Looking for a drink more like. But judging from the soft haze that serves as a behind-the-counter, they aren't stocking Jim Beam or Crown Royale.

It's a light. [ gestures at it lighting up. ] Not magic or anyone's powers. Just regular old electricity.

[personal profile] boxcar 2025-02-08 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
I mean... I don't disagree. This isn't really the pits they described Alll-mer of returning from.

Your Lady?

[ fair enough. his smile doesn't go away, in any case. ]

Well, then, in that case - would you mind helping me find mine? An old man like me can't be expected to toddle his way to knowledge any longer.
rippled: (pic#17514686)

[personal profile] rippled 2025-02-08 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
... yes, that is very true.

[ anyway.

they will try to mimic what he is doing but they don't know how to turn this on. ]


It seems like it would be easy to injure yourself with it.

A phone.

[Akihiko just looks at it to see what caused the confusion as to what it was, but nah, looks to him like a normal phone. What's the big deal?]

You could always try cooking it instead.

[ Maybe it'll be tasty? Also to make it easier, she's in this and has bandages on her left arm and leggy ]

[ the way i read all your tags in his accent immediately. baby.

anyway!! taair is not staring or anything like it - but he does watch fidelio mess with the phone, and when he's addressed, he immediately smiles, warm and genuine. ]


Ah, my apologies - I was just curious! Have you figured out what that box is for, yet...? It's evaded me.

Maybe the same place our halos did. Or maybe it's a test. Or maybe... if the cafe is no longer usable, it'll come to our aid?

[ every answer she gives sounds as lighthearted yet sincere as the other. ]
faithkept: (sing with glee)

iii!

[THERE IS SOMETHING ABOUT THIS SIGHT THAT IS JUST SO SAD... This wet cat of a man just sitting here by himself talking to a cute little stuffed cat...

He'd been on his way out, but he swerves instead and makes his way over, gesturing to the empty seat across from him.]


Do excuse me for interrupting your conversation, my dear, but do you mind if I join you?

[personal profile] kumeyuri 2025-02-08 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
How!? What did you even do?

[personal profile] noirges 2025-02-08 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
Coriander... Hmmm, do you want me to sample them for you?

[ as he watches them get inspected first ]

Or I can serve our bowls and we can taste them together! With dueling rankings after every sip...

[ make a lil game out of it! ]

[ all of you are furrist. ]

...

[ actually, that makes a lot of sense. ]

A run's a pretty good way to clear your head, sure. The costume makes it looks bloody weird though.
peripheries: (look at this dick)

[personal profile] peripheries 2025-02-08 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
Yes.

They look ridiculous. You didn't notice?

[He says like it's obvious... apparently...]
fightolive: (073)

[personal profile] fightolive 2025-02-08 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
It was a very normal day for me. I was with my companions.

[ She'll look at Maomao's bandages. ]

What about you?
midway: (103)

[personal profile] midway 2025-02-08 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
Assuming the intention was to be informative and efficient.

[ Backs off when he's called out for being nosy. What do you mean by fatass tit. Is there a huge, singular boob in there. ]

You don't have to play along if you don't want to, in any case.

It has met with a rather unfortunate fate, hasn't it?

[ DEATH BY BORGORS. they just keep coming. jing yuan has to take a step back from the counter lest his boots (sexy angel shoes?) get covered, though tbh it's probably impossible to escape what with this absurd quantity. ]

This mysterious kitchen has quite the impressive output.

[ he's hungry, and curious, and not so cautious as he normally might be. he reaches out to take a single (☝️) fry from the fountain to try. ]

Nothing seems wrong with the flavor, at least.

[ offers bas a fry in these trying times? ]

[ He looks down at the hot pot and then up at Jiaoqiu. Back at the food and back at the fox man. ]

Are these all the same thing...?

[ He squints. Six containers of hot pot??? ]
boxcar: (pic#16999307)

[personal profile] boxcar 2025-02-08 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
I don't have any of those.

[ Think. ]

Except maybe the soft pillow.

[ anders is a terrible replacement for andrastes tits. he wants a refund ]

A lot has happened since you- well. [ died. started a war. Did Some Shit. ] It's been quite a while.
