📌 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.

[ grandpa's got it right!!! i'm so afraid given what you said in chat dana.

but he will observe this process with interest, carefully propping the vortex vanquisher against the side of the counter with his egge box. ]

My thanks - and my apologies, as well, as I've forgotten my manners, especially after you've gone through the effort of offering help and arranging this food. My name is Zhongli.

[noirges]

[ . . . a little pause, unsure ]

Samuel, can I give you a hug?

[spiritbalm]

I didn't have my day planned beyond awaiting judgment from the Maker, and I thought after that it would be mindless void or perhaps cold oblivion. So I guess we can do whatever you like now.

[ this is weird. ]

[smokeandglasses]

[Siiiigh]

Unfortunately, people will always be people.

[noirges]

[ oh!!!

in that case

yves flashes

DOUBLE PEACE SIGNS ]

Like this?

[kumeyuri]

You're fine. It's not like I wasn't already thinking about it.

[productionhell]

Well, I'm not exactly.... mortal to begin with. And I have no idea why I'm here. I should be in Hell.

[ if this is truly some kind of afterlife ]

[midway]

[ Thank you for the validation.

He just shakes his head. ]

Not a thing. It just loops you back around, so... we're well trapped for the time being.

[trifocal]

[ JUMPS BACK, HANDS RAISED ]

I-I'm sorry!? Did I disturb you?

[rippled]

Do you?

[ they preen. ]

Are you just flattering me?

[florescences]

I'd hate to see you waste anything. I'll take whatever you don't want or can't eat.

[ waste not, want not, whatever time of the day it is. ]

[midway]

[ His goodies... ]

You're not going to sock me for digging into your things?

[ziosar]

Sanada. Nice to meet you. Sorry if I don't drop the politeness -- I can't do that.

[He's a good boy, after all! It's pretty much second nature to be polite]

[productionhell]

Of course. I need to save my people more than anything.

[ she may in fact, sing a song about it ]

[outdistanced]

[ he's just going to ignore all of that immediately. don't be so eager to throw yourself to the wolves you freak!! but if you really want to, fine! do it! you were warned!!!! ]

Do you expect there to be an answer out there? Even if it is the afterlife, [ his voice kind of breaks for a second there but he'll ignore that too ] there's no reason to be stupid and reckless now that we're here.

[historicals]

[ ha ha... ha... yeah... ]

I'm inclined to agree. [ oof. that's a depressing topic. there's a slightly awkward pause, and then, more cheerfully: ] So, dead it is, then! [ taair, ] And, really - we're experiencing something not written in a single historical record, and that's quite exciting, too.

Sir Adolphe, it is a pleasure. [ as taair bows his head, all polite noble manners. ] Thank you for your help.

[fightolive]

Yes.

There's lot of games to try, souvenirs to buy, and things to watch.

[midway]

[ HELP she's so cute... He just laughs. ]

It's okay. I'm just teasing you.

[fried]

[ look it's instant ramen hot pot flavor or burgers. he's taking his chances ]

Temptation? [ he glances over in anders' general direction. ] You make it sound like a negative.

[peripheries]

No.

[Wow! Get with it old man the future is now!!]

To like to speak to someone you care about.

[And just that. No customer service calls for this guy.]

[kumeyuri]

J-Just a little surprised. [STILL. STARING. TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT HE'S SEEING. BETWEEN THIS AND FURRIES IT'S BEEN A LOT.] It's not like I was doing anything...

[apoisoncary]

[ Ah. ]

Doesn't seem like anyone else is. [ That's weird ] Who is this us then?

[rippled]

Is it? Huh...

[ they click it and the little pen nib pops out. whoa! ]

[noirges]

[ whoa! yves shuffles a little with the weight, but he's going to gently catch the robot's finger where it's shaking at laurence ]

Hey—be careful, and don't move so suddenly. [ gently scolds the arm ] You could hurt someone, or scare them.

[ takes a step back to put some distance between arm and laurence... ]

I'm not sure what's going on here, but maybe we should take a second.

[sarkazm]

Oh, shut it, there's no way to just shut off your witchcraft-

[that's directed at the object, sorry yves. anyway. where was she?]

He's busy pretending he can't fire anything off at all, which is interesting, considering you were just doing that before we got here!
