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.

[bluntly,]

Pretty sure I died, if that's what you're trying to figure out.
punnier: game. (surprise βœ‚ we don't understand it.)

[personal profile] punnier 2025-02-08 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
It's a pretty popular dish in Vaugarde as well.

[ Though... ] I've never heard of Fontaine before. Where is that?

...yes, but not from some random pile. You should drop that.

[Get yourself fresh ones, lady, geez]

Four years? I've hardly kept track.

[ rubs his face repeatedly simply thinking about it. ]

The mages are a part of the Inquisition now. Safer, after they foolishly pledged themselves to a Tevinter cult and promptly got themselves banished from Ferelden. There's a big hole in the blasted sky because of Magister trying to restart the Imperium through whatever bloody means he can stick his claws into. The veil is shitting demons. The templars have lost their godsdamned mind. Oh, and all the Wardens are conscripted.

[ haha! ]

I would also like to know where our clothing has gone. I wasn't aware a new outfit would be given upon death...

[ natlan and lantern rite gave us afterlife in genshin but you know hyv ]

IX..? [ curious, but he shakes his head and offers a rue smile. ] Ah. No, the apologies are mine, Mister Jiaoqiu. My name is Zhongli. A pleasure, despite circumstances.

Practice will make it easier. Though it seems you can only practice taking pictures at the moment.

[ her expression brightens. ]

How nice for you to have someone like that. [ she hums. ] I have many people like that. There's not just one.

[ oh buddy there's so much space out there you cannot believe it ]

Indeed. [ ... ] Ah, that does confirm it then, doesn't it. I'd hoped for a different answer.

[personal profile] boxcar 2025-02-08 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
I fight for what I need to.

[ He's actually just not that sure what this question means but hopefully this is somewhat of a sufficient answer. ]

I'll fight for you if you need help.
purities: (014)

[personal profile] purities 2025-02-08 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. A blue one.
productionhell: (don't sell yourself short)

[personal profile] productionhell 2025-02-08 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you so much, mister.

[ it's true, she will suffer. in fact, it's all over her face when she takes that first bite...... then she smiles, strained ]

It's very... flavorful.

And there isn't overly much for us to be taking pictures of, it seems, save for a surplus of food that someone keeps ordering and messes being made of facilities.

[ !! ]

Truly? Such a connection to a divine relic is a rare gift indeed. Were you also chosen by the Dragon God?
fightolive: (080)

[personal profile] fightolive 2025-02-08 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. I haven't heard of "mustari" before. I don't know about spells either.

[Thinking.]

Maybe it's something intrinsic to this place that makes it hard to see. Or... we need to adjust?
kumeyuri: (63)

[personal profile] kumeyuri 2025-02-08 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
Fair enough.

[thinks about this]

That's probably one of the karmic punishments of Hell, or something.
productionhell: (denial anger internet commenting cat ado)

[personal profile] productionhell 2025-02-08 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I.... I was being murdered, essentially.

[ awkward ]

Perhaps if we wish together very hard it'll fill itself out with all our hopes and dreams.

It sure didn't feel like a magical seal... [Not that he's too experienced with those. Tartarus had physical barriers, generally speaking, but he's sure if there was magic involved with this bathroom door he'd feel something] It feels like hitting a solid wall.

[So yeah, not a strong enough kick, he can admit that]

boxcar: (pic#17642686)

[personal profile] boxcar 2025-02-08 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
I understand.

[ The issue is more the 'I'm from Hell' part but he gets the sentiment perfectly. ]

Do you want to go back?
midway: (134)

[personal profile] midway 2025-02-08 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
But if it tasted nice, you'd be throwing back drinks like a sailor?

[ Looking amused. ]

It's someone's idea of a stupid joke, is what.

[at least she can rip the wings off her outfit, which she's currently busy doing.]
productionhell: (or absolutely nothing at all)

[personal profile] productionhell 2025-02-08 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
[ help charlie clean up food waste.... ]

About the same for myself! Though there is, ah, fast food kind of everywhere now.

[




he... lets out a light laugh, just a short sound.
]

Also in a manner of speaking. Is the lance that you possess of such a quality?
outdistanced: (144)

[personal profile] outdistanced 2025-02-08 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
[ yelps and jumps back a step, hands flying up in front of him as if that'll protect him from a goddamn SWORD. ]

Now what did I do?! [ :yell: ] It's just a touch screen to order from! Chill out, dude!
