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.

[Egg nest! She'll wrap them into the scarves together.]

It would be nice to be born with a friend.

I'm Samuel.

It's this place! What else!!

[ The burgers keep burgering out of the... i don't know... the kitchen? Jacopo eventually pulls himself out of the burger mess, looking like... A burger mess. ]

It's cursed!

Is it...your ideal version of it?

[Just asking straight ahead if you're to blame for any of this somehow]

[ Perfect. He takes out the blue scarf and walks over to Taair to hand it over to him. There's a reason why he's doing this and that's-- ]

Tie your scarf around the skirt part and it won't move too much.

[ Like how a pencilskirt works. He's trying. ]

Your walking might be weird, but that's probably better than you looking like you're walking down the road of shame constantly.

[ whoa, what violence. elysia doesn't seem to bothered by it. ]

Hm? What's wrong? What can't your cute friend do?

[looks around...]

No, not that I can see. Why?

I'd hand it over if I could get-- this stupid thing-- off!

[the outfit? that doesn't matter. it's not much less fabric than she usually wears, anyway... she's trying to touch the halo, tail swishing harder when it stays intangible.]

[Yeah! But now he's just smiling which is an easy expression to decipher even without eyebrows.]

Would you disagree with the assessment?

[ he is confident! he is cool! he looks like he knows what he's doing! taair opens his hand, and murmurs something to cast a spell! and


nothing

happens. ]


....Ah.
productionhell: (if you're comfortable while you're doin)

[personal profile] productionhell 2025-02-08 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I just mean we can figure out what's happening together! Kind of like a team.

[ there's a silver lining here, quickly ]

Oh, are you talking about Hell? This definitely isn't it.

[ she would know ]

It's an egg.

Flattery will only get you so far, especially when you do yourself in the next breath.

[but she does smile at it, so she clearly doesn't mind.]

I don't object to the color or design. I only want to know why I'm burdened by it.
obdure: (pic#17647838)

[personal profile] obdure 2025-02-08 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
That's right.

[ He doesn't elaborate. ]

... Considering circumstances, your presentation is lacking, but acceptable.

[ unfortunately, for now they just look at the toy curiously before shrugging. ]

That doesn't explain the other items. An egg!

[personal profile] fightolive 2025-02-08 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
I didn't really see anywhere else to eat. Or... Honestly, I didn't see anywhere else around here.

[It's too hazy!]
punnier: game. (fake βœ‚ when i feel i've been replaced)

[ Pointedly does not look at his stupid sexy angel outfit. ]

It's pretty weird, right? Couldn't find any of my clothes anywhere. Though I guess I still have this. [ A half gesture to their black eyepatch still securely covering their left eye. ] Did you wake up with some strange gifts too?

[picks a single french fry out of the bunch and pops it in her mouth, then wrinkles her nose.]

Oh, that's dreadful.

A pleasure, Miss Samuel. [ a beat. ]

Would I like what? [ ear flick. ]

[ the rizzler (no) ]

Rather kind of you, if so many of us are so unfamiliar with the device. A shame that we're here with no answers, but at the very least... there are quite a few of us here together to figure things out. [ anyways, moving forward to yves talking about the fish filet. that sort of makes him tilt his head a little. ] Such a simple name, but I think I will pass on the filet. Is there something you have enjoyed the most so far?
faithkept: (her arms they fall)

[personal profile] faithkept 2025-02-08 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
[NOT THE WAY HE IMMEDIATELY FINDS THIS ENDEARING.]

Asking politely is the important part. You wouldn't appreciate it if someone took something that belonged to you without asking for your permission first, would you?

The... afterlife?

[ It sounds very uncertain, because he's mainly distracted. That third eye?? Hi??? ]

[ ..........well. he is fluffy enough to be a hairy asshole. ser I wear an entire bird upon my shoulders and call it fashion ]

Perhaps then. But now- Makers bloody balls, Anders. The world is- was ending. [ scrubs his head because thinking about it just makes him mad all over again. gods damned Corypheus and his nonsense ] It'll take far more than a few drinks to describe the absolute shite fucked nonsense that's happened but circumstances aside... I'd rather it have been me than the poor sod in charge.
