📌 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.

[fightolive]

I haven't seen a bird that big before.

A... giant red chicken? [This sounds stupid to her.]

[boxcar]

[ He's thinking about this like he's not really sure what god this is but there's a ton of New Gods, he's sure there are people following one of them. ]

I feel the same. I don't think there was supposed to be bright lights and, uh, burgers.

[productionhell]

[ this is normal ]

Well-- it's Hell. So.... not always great. [ a fucking understatement ] But it's my only home. And I love my people. So.... it all works out.

[outdistanced]

Uh. Sort of? We have to ask for batteries and stuff if we need them, but the Tower needs electricity to run, so you could say we have access to it because we live there.

I guess maybe they could be similar...?

[trifocal]

[ HELP she's a little alarmed when he just starts barreling her way. ]

S-Sir Basilio??

[ ???? ]

[historicals]

[ he listens to these instructions, and then nods - and thankfully, takes them well, as he wiggles a bit to tie the scarf properly around himself, and then sighs, relieved. it's a tight fit, but he'd rather waddle than be exposed!!! ]

Ah... that's better. [ as he smooths out the little scarf, he looks up and smiles at adolphe, genuine. ] Thank you, kind sir - truly, I appreciate it.

It's a bit odd... I did not expect to die and then immediately lose my clothing.

[peripheries]

I don't think so. Science is a human tool.

[He shrugs!!]

I don't know. I suppose because my creators encouraged the piano. It's a versatile instrument as it can play both rhythm and melody. [He will defend the piano at least. But if there's more...]

What sorts of things?

[rippled]

[ they go to put it on, and their hand passes through their halo. it makes them pause. ]

Oh, right. I forgot about that thing.

i

[nonmagicuser]

[ he's very politely Not Staring at her extra eye but he's also a little blatantly focused to the left of her ]

You too, hm?

[ he wiggles his pointy stick-that's-definitely-not-a-staff in his hand ]

[fending]

[ ...

takes it and looks at it like what the fuck is this ]

Thanks...?

[boxcar]

I will. I know that I can't fight on an empty stomach. You too.

[ Oh this one's a fox... ]

...It's Marcoh.

[sacredpath]

Consider it something to aspire to. It's nice to have ambitions, even if they are far-fetched ones.

[darkholder]

That's a possibility, but why would they waste the expense if we didn't?

[pauses. thinks about the gift basket.]

I suppose most of what they provided us with was useless.

[dijun]

[ this hardly seems to bother him - the obvious skepticism or the statement, and he simply tilts his head to acknowledge it. ]

Young man, I would argue that you wouldn't know the way back any better than I would - but I can see you're the sort that's strong-willed once you've set your mind to something. [ it's said more as a compliment than to chastise him. ] Shall we?

[apoisoncary]

It would be much easier than raising the child.

[productionhell]

Oh, I wouldn't want to harm him! Only help you find him.

[ she's a little confused as to why shadowheart was yelling about how dangerous it is ]

Er-- I can call him over. He's off exploring right now.

b

[florescences]

[ she looks back at him with a smile. ]

Hi, are you feeling hungry for anything?

[berserketype]

[ he absolutely skids past her and has to dig his heels in to stop himself from going further. wowee.

give him a second. ]

[lightning]

[ yay! squishmallows and sexy angel costumes commemorated!

jing yuan responds to this whimsy with amused, but matching whimsy. ]

An excellent idea. Shall we imagine ourselves a new locale for our little friends? A refreshing fountain over there, perhaps.

[ gestures to an indecipherable protrusion from the ground. THERE'S ONLY ONE REAL OPTION AROUND HERE AND IT IS FILLED WITH FAST FOOD. ]

—Please call me Jing Yuan.

[boxcar]

Oh. Same.

[ He sounds mildly relieved that someone else felt similarly. ]

Just not bright blue clouds and stuffed animals.

[spiritbalm]

I will ask the Templars to include a bathroom break between the confession and summary execution next time.

[ stepping out of the way between her and the door. honestly he wants to see this. ]

Be my guest.

[sacredpath]

[friends...

she nods and will go off into the fog!! and then come back a bit later and collapse right down next to him.]

I realize now that the flaw is there is no actual marker to assess how far we went.

[darkholder]

[pausing for a moment]

...What do you last recall?

[punnier]

[ (..Friends?)

Siffrin's head dips a little, tucking part of their face into the collar of their costume robe collar. A moment of uncertainty. ] But we've just... met? Wouldn't that be weird?

[ To call her something that her friends do when they're technically strangers to another? A hint of worry, puzzlement, and a bit of curiosity in his tone. ]

[productionhell]

Well, I'm not sure anyone is. But if we work together, surely we can accomplish it.

[ okei charlie ]
