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.

[ Jacopo snorts while taking his seat... They can roleplay. He thinks he has lost his mind already, anyway. Unknowing that he may have caused a burger flood until it becomes too much. ]

I have not the appetite, but regardless... I don't eat anything before someone else samples it.

[there's a light shrug in response, nonchalant.]

Are any of us, considering the circumstances? Anyways - I intend to find out what's meant to come next, even if we haven't been provided with that information.

It's... Marcoh.

[ Did you not understand? ]
productionhell: (they're gonna take his house??)

[personal profile] productionhell 2025-02-08 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
I, um.... alright.

[ she looks like this is physically painful for her, but she throws it out. whew. ]

I really do feel bad.... If the chef is nearby, I'm so sorry!

[personal profile] fried 2025-02-08 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
[ a little tail wag. just a tiny little one. ]

Are you? Did you intend to question the staff, perhaps, or make your own delights?
noirges: (ღ see the lights see the party the ballg)

[personal profile] noirges 2025-02-08 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
[ oohh, the moment of hesitation prompts him to tilt his head in curiosity ]

Is it too early to ask you to share the meaning? If it's something best kept close to the chest, I understand that too.

[ just to give her the out, ]

But I do think the rest of it is a bit strange, to say the least. Maybe someone's trying to have fun with us? They might just be a bit awkward.

[personal profile] punnier 2025-02-08 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
..No use for you either, huh?

[ Guess who was doing the exact same thing, quietly piping up as Uruha flops on the ground near where they're already laying on the ground. Comrades in fog journeying. ]

How are we supposed to do that? Do they need something special?

[personal profile] outdistanced 2025-02-08 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
[ looks at how they are surrounded by nothing but sky. ]

Well, if you want to go ahead and get lost right off the bat, who am I to stop you? Have a blast out there.
productionhell: (or absolutely nothing at all)

[personal profile] productionhell 2025-02-08 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
An owl and a bear? Combined? Is it come kind of demon?

[ just giving her a bit of an odd look as they run ]

I can get Razzle to help.

[personal profile] kumeyuri 2025-02-08 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
I got that. What was that about the bathroom?

...Do you concern yourself this much with every decision you make?

[ She visibly deflates at his incredulousness, but fortunately he seems quick to move on. ]

R- right. I don't recognize this place... But it doesn't look like there's a lot to recognize.
noirges: (ღ i'll be waiting all that's left to do)

[personal profile] noirges 2025-02-08 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
Hm, well... I guess some really advanced technology can be automated...

Maybe they planned to have this available for guests and the owner's busy?
obdure: (pic#17647837)

[personal profile] obdure 2025-02-08 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
[ Well, Jacopo is here with him... Under the burgers. ]

I could have solved hunger in my city if I had this... Whatever it is. Witchcraft?

[ hello scrawny person, meet scrawny person! taair realizes he's being addressed from where h's pondering his egg orb, and his whole expression warms immediately. he sets his free hand to his chest and briefly bows his head in greeting, delighted. ]

Why, hello, Siffrin. I'm... my name would be Taair. [ with a smile: ] And now that we're introduced, we're hardly strangers, are we? It's a pleasure to meet you.

[ ?

He slightly tilts his head.
]

Isn't this the afterlife?

[ Though he has no idea what Marcoh's halo means. It looks ominous, but at the same time, the vibes seem fine from the guy. ]
rippled: (pic#17514209)

[personal profile] rippled 2025-02-08 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
Apparently, but unlike any toy I have ever seen.

[ this thing is CRAZY. kids in whatever time period this is are spoiled. ]

There are also the other strange items from the box.

S'pretty violent, innit?
faithkept: (in water cool and cleansing)

i!

[personal profile] faithkept 2025-02-08 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
[SLEEBY LIL GUY!! Lucas pauses in his approach, though his expression quickly shifts from surprise to mild relief.]

Ah - greetings to you, too. I had worried a bit, seeing you over here like that... You're just resting?

[As opposed to BEING UNCONSCIOUS? ILL? IN NEED OF MEDICAL ATTENTION??]
boxcar: (pic#17642768)

[personal profile] boxcar 2025-02-08 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
I'm a... person?... Human?

[ He's clearly trying to debate whether technically excluding whatever Basilio is from the category of 'person/human' is rude or not. ]
midway: (114)

[personal profile] midway 2025-02-08 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
[ So he just looks like an eyebrowless wonder. ]

"Thorough", huh? That makes me sound pretty diligent.
