📌 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.

[historicals]

Yes, though... not terribly unexpected.

[ he reaches up to rub at his chest, absently - then shakes his head, as if clearing the thought away. ] But that's no matter - it is always a pleasure to make the company of a new friend, no matter the situation. Difficult as it could be, at least, it seems, there are many of us in the same state of confusion, yes?

[outdistanced]

Probably not a bad idea with all the freaks running around.

[fried]

[ i don't want to do research on the afterlife in hsr ]

Perhaps it is IX who presides over death after all. [ ... ] My apologies, I've been rude. My name is Jiaoqiu. It's a pleasure to meet you, mister...?

[kumeyuri]

Huh? Definitely not.

[faithkept]

Darker? [SIR?? There's a little furrow at his brow, which is barely visible beneath his fringe.] Like Hades?

[fightolive]

[ She doesn't stumble over any of her words, but her breath does hitch for a moment. ]

It's better that I'm here without them. I don't want her to join me in the afterlife, if that really is what's going on here.

[kumeyuri]

Sure, though I can't promise I'll answer.

[ziosar]

[Akihiko sure tries to keep a straight line as well! Time to march forward and hope that, if some glass protrusion gets in the way, it won't lead to them walking in circles when trying to avoid it]

It's weird. There's no way this is anywhere close to where I was before...I don't know how to go back at all.

[And he really wants to go back to Tatsumi Port Island, even though he's also afraid of what he'll find out once he does]

[productionhell]

Er-- well, I wouldn't say horrible... they just maybe need a little bit of encouragement.

[ to not be assholes ]

I think you have a lovely personality.

[noirges]

[ no this is fine dining and everyone is going to enjoy sauce roulette. this is hot wings ]

I don't know. The injury that should've killed me seems patched up, but does that mean I'm alive?

It feels a little existential...

[faithkept]

[THEIR SANDWICH AGENDA.]

Oh, is that alright? I'd hate to take from you if you're planning on eating all of this.

[IT IS A MOUNTAIN OF FOOD.]

[spiritbalm]

It's not a love letter.

[ WOW. maybe it should be a love letter. the frown gets deeper. ]

I'm not writing about my life. I'm writing about many lives.

[boxcar]

[ Honestly I was half-expecting you to be like well, the sexy angel costumes, ]

That makes sense.

I believed as much as your average penitent church-goer but...

[ ...Well, anyway. ]

It's hard to just accept that it might be peaceful. There doesn't look like there's a lot here though.

[purities]

[this white girl got gangrene.......... also makes a face at the gift box.]

If they're not one of the others, they must be beyond the fog.

[fried]

[ it's too late jiaoqiu and yves are Soup Brothers ]

Hm. [ give him a second, he's going to sniff each one of these containers very carefully. and after a moment, he pushes a mild one over to adolphe.

it's. mild, but it's still pretty hot because jiaoqiu is jiaoqiu. ]

[rippled]

I see.

[ they put it back into the box, and then pull out the pen. ]

And this?

[gutterbound]

There's something to be said about passive resistance. Make that passive-aggressive, should any lords

[Frowns down at this egg. Wipes his forehead and looks back to this kid. Really, the damn thing is the least of all concerns, but it does feel like adding insult to injury.]

Pardon my manners. Name's Rich. You?

[productionhell]

Oh, that's alright!

[ it is uncomfortable, after all ]

I was just wondering... what happened to you before you ended up here?

[trifocal]

Is that what elda usually believe?

In our faith, those who have the correct rites performed will go on to become guardian deities who watch over their family.

[fightolive]

[ She did try to attack him with something harmless. ]

I've been a lot calmer in my life. "On edge".

[historicals]

...mm. I'm inclined to agree.

[ considering. there's a beat. ] ...Including the hells?

[boxcar]

Like the sulfur pits Alll-mer rose from.

[ What's Hades? ]

[noirges]

You got it! We can sample them together and anything you don't finish, I'll try my best to eat so we don't waste food.

[ GRANDPA ALWAYS SAID TO EAT WHENEVER YOU GET THE CHANCE!!! so yves will just go to set up this hilarious lil nuggie and sauce sampler situation for liyue's local god ]

Bon appétit!

a

[outdistanced]

[ sorry about the kid just kind of staring at you buddy ]

[productionhell]

[ putting them down ]

Were you just exploring, mister?
