📌 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.

[she does listen, slowing her breaths to calm herself, but as soon as it has started to succeed she hardens again, casting an annoyed glare in his direction.]

I'm perfectly fine, thank you. Where are we?

[ Okay, he's catching up. This is some kind of communication device. He still has no idea what an "app" is, but they can figure that out later. ]

The place you're from is called the Tower? [ Hmm. ] That's not in Fódlan, is it?

I am not the right guy to give a science lesson. [ SIGHS

and gives it a try anyway. ]
It's like lightning, but harvested and used as a power source. I'm not an engineer, I don't know exactly how it works, but it's just science. For things like that [ gestures at the toy ] it would just use batteries.

Well, it can't hurt to keep them together. Maybe when they hatch they can be friends.

[ gently pushes e g g towards firefly's egg ]

I'm Charlie, by the way.

I'm interested in finding out the quality of the beef bowl here. You try some and tell me if it's actually decent, while I have this you gave me.

[Then, like it's meant to make it more enticing:]

There's nothing better than a good beef bowl, so if you think about it, you're getting the better part of the deal.

[Deal Jiaoqiu already agreed to, but yeah. At least Akihiko is trying to get some form of agreement before getting that promised beef bowl because he has some manners]

Careful to keep her miniskirt down, Koharu plants her hands at her hips while pushing herself back up to her feet. ]


It kind of feels like a dream, doesn't it.

[GIRL HELP. Just watches this idiocy happen.]

Oh! Do take care, you'll hurt your neck if you move it that quickly!

[ i. arrival ]

[ Among the newly awakened angels is a three-eyed young lady. Bewildered, she blinks at the strange surroundings primarily with her lower two eyes. The upper one doesn't seem to blink with them. Her halo, at some angles, may look like a pair of antennae or perhaps a little sprout growing out of her head.

On the "ground" nearby is a very large, metallic lance with gold detailing. There's a brief glimpse of alarm in her face, but then she sweeps out her hand in the air above it, as if to beckon it to her hand.

Nothing happens.

She does it again. Nothing continues to happen. After a moment she finally gives up on vaguely gesturing and bends down to actually pick up the stupidly large lance. ]

[ ii. greeting ]

[ After having a few moments to orient herself, the young lady turns her attention to one of the strangers here, waving one hand eagerly while the other holds the lance steady and upright. ]

Oh, hello! I beg your pardon... Would you happen to know where we are right now?

[ There's a hopeful look on her face as she looks at you with all three of her eyes. ]

[ iii. menu ]

[ At some point, she will find the cafe and peruse the touchscreen menu while still holding her very large lance in her other hand. ]

"Chicken nuggets"... Er... [ She whips her head away from the menu to gaze out at the vast emptiness through the cafe window, then slowly looks back to the "chicken nugget forest" with deep contemplation and concern. ]

... But... where does the chicken come from?

[ iv. wildcard ]

[ Gimme a starter and I'll roll with it! Or PC me. ]
productionhell: (or absolutely nothing at all)

[personal profile] productionhell 2025-02-08 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
Well, neither am I. So... you're in good company?

I'm sorry, am I asking too many personal questions?
punnier: game. (fake ✂ when i feel i've been replaced)

[personal profile] punnier 2025-02-08 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
[ Ah, the polite brief bow has them dipping their head just a little in response, a bit awkwardly like they aren't used to such introductions in that manner. ]

Mm, nice to meet you, Taair. [ Thinking of the whole situation though... they still offer a smile. ] Despite the situation and all, right?

[ charlie your fit is so fly.

he seems pleasantly, if mildly, surprised by the question, before inclining his head slightly.
]

Of course, miss. I would hardly say no to another set of eyes and some company - though I'm not sure we'll be able to see much, given the landscape as it stands.

I don't know the first thing about birds or egg species.

No.

Yeah, sure, the outfit's fine.

[swatting at the halo again... annnd nothing.]

I don't care about that.
sacredpath: (126)

[that's not going to do the trick. it will definitely leap up - more like a dog boldly trying to steal your dinner out of your hands than a vicious creature, but it does have a nasty curved beak and claws.]

Stop it!

[she will try to grab it around the neck.]

It's an owlbear cub. Don't just stand there gawking.
historicals: (54)

[personal profile] historicals 2025-02-08 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
Ah... indeed. I'd be inclined to agree.

[ something about that seems to please him, and he laughs a little, dipping his head in a polite greeting, elegant. ]

And there's hardly a worry! It's a pleasure, Jiaoqiu - I've never heard a name quite like that, before. [ hand to heart: ] ...my name's Taair. Just Taair. It's a pleasure to meet you, Sir Jiaoqiu.

he visibly brightens at this. ]


Oh, of course. And what cuisine do you specialize in, sir...? [ introduce yourself first, jiaoqiu, you bastard ]

[The worst person to be stuck behind. He's just slapping various items like the world's dumbest iPad kid.]

[personal profile] faithkept 2025-02-08 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
[Well you see, the level of technology is It's Complicated.]

Simulation...? I'm afraid I've not heard a term like that before. Do you mind explaining?

[ going to cross her hands over her face as she gives a slight bow ]

It's Maomao. [ a look over to those bandages. she hesitates a moment before asking ] Do you need someone to look over your wounds?

[ Maomao also has a bandaged leggy and arm. ]
