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.

Oh, I meant more that it would be quite sad to be given a single egg each if it's meant to be food rations.

[It's fine, they have endless burgers...]

[personal profile] rippled 2025-02-08 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
It appears as if we all received one. I wonder why?

[ they pause, suddenly appearing contemplative. ]

Perhaps to duel...?

[ Jacopo actually has pretty fast reflexes, so he pulls his hand back for the sword to clang against... more burgers. ]

I'd normally have your head on a pike for that.

[ HE IS HERE... A MAN... ON THE FLOOR.... ]

fast food

[ stunned silence immediately revoked ]

Is that an arm? What the hell?! Don't just talk to it like it's a person!
peripheries: (time to suit up)

[personal profile] peripheries 2025-02-08 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
I did ask. So-

[He clearly demanded but there's also sincerity in the kids voice. Like he literally doesn't know the difference.]

[STOP LISTEN HERE.]

Ah? Are you not all that much of a fan...?
chrysanths: (pic#17675329)

[personal profile] chrysanths 2025-02-08 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
Don't we all.

[ He's not taking that seriously, even if it's probably the truth. ]

Hades sure is bright out here with a sense of humor and no religion is probably correct about their own concepts of afterlife, but here we are.

[personal profile] kumeyuri 2025-02-08 12:45 am (UTC)(link)

Okay.

[a pause]

But whoever clogged it isn't dead or anything, right...?

[ there are so many various body parts of andraste perhaps you should settle for one of the lesser ones. her hairy arse, or perhaps her blighted nose.

that's a lot to process in about four seconds, so, working on that. hawke makes that sound so passive. like dying was something that just happened to anders incidentally, which is a funny way to put it.
]

It's only been-- minutes. [ but okay, hawke does look a little different. slightly older. he can't exactly meet his eyes, so he can't really take a look good look at his face. ] You still shouldn't be here. You aren't supposed to be. That was the point.

Oh.

[ Yeah he gets it now. He glances at his stupid sexy angel outfit and frowns. ]

I don't know why we're all dressed like this.

If I may be so forward, I think they should have a playdate, Monsieur.

[personal profile] rippled 2025-02-08 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
Hehe, it is pretty entertaining.

[ they pause, and then kneel down to dig through the box to pull out... egg? ]

What do we have this for?

[ ANOTHER PINK he glances over his shoulder in her direction, ears flicking. ]

Halos... [ he repeats thoughtfully. ] It would be nice to have some sort of plan to rely on. I hope you're right.

Do you know where these came from, miss? [ a beat. ] I suppose I have one as well, don't I.

Maomao is going to look her over and sigh. she isn't sure if she should be envious or not. ]

One: we don't know for certain where we are, nor if any gifts of food come with a high cost.

Two: that looks like fast food, and you will be disappointed by it.
peripheries: (chairitable)

[personal profile] peripheries 2025-02-08 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
He's the person who is most important to me in the whole world.

[Another set of numbers. Another dial tone. He looks up at her.]

Is there someone you think of that way?
boxcar: (pic#17642741)

[personal profile] boxcar 2025-02-08 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
...You also have animal ears.

[ Is this about to be a prevailing theme? ]
faithkept: (oh young love young dear)

[STOP LYING TO HIM IN FRONT OF GOD'S SALAD, MISS.]

I insist. [He will go order a cup of fckin ice or SO HELP HIM!!!] But it's very nice to meet you, Charlie. My name is Lucas. I assume you've also recently died?
historicals: (11)

[personal profile] historicals 2025-02-08 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
...Well...

[ hmmm. he reaches down for his side, where a holster holds some kind of very large book, and then pulls it out, puffing up a little as he takes in a deep breath. ]

Here - stand back, good sir. Allow me.
