📌 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.

[ yea he's sitting! he makes room. ]

I'm not that kind of healer. [ he's a doctor not a therapist!! but he glances at claude's Egg ]

So you won't be eating yours, then...

[WHAT IS HAPPENING OUT HERE THIS IS THE WEIRDEST FUCKING AFTERLIFE HE'S EVER BEEN TO. WHY THREE EYES. WHY A LANCE. WHAT.

But she is looking at him so hopefully, what is he supposed to do but just kind of sweatily nod... AND THEN SHAKE HIS HEAD, WAIT NO.]


That may be dangerous! Or... Well. Rather, I suppose it shouldn't be...? But I haven't seen any sort of veil in the first place, unless you're referring to the fog.

Then it's still a waste of time. Whoever brought us here probably wants us to stay, or there'd already be a way out.

Grease fixes everything.

[ they might not have fast food but even as a ye olde he knows this ]

Can't complain too much when you've got good food to soothe your hurts, yeah?
spiritbalm: (IG_32)

[personal profile] spiritbalm 2025-02-08 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
No. But no one else around here seems to either and at least this thing is cute.

[ yeah some people get cool home items like OWLBEARS and some of us get. knives. so we're left with a stuffed animal. ]

[personal profile] midway 2025-02-08 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
... If I say yes, you aren't going to respond with [ high pitched voice ] "prove it!" [ back to normal voice ] and attack me, are you?

[tch.]

Some afterlife this is...

[why did they all get panty and stocking]
noirges: (ღ i'll be waiting all that's left to do)

[personal profile] noirges 2025-02-08 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
Normally I'm the one hosting. I can't just sit back and let you do everything for me.

[ but he'll SLIDE in front of claude to go the kiosk first like a loser ]

Here, we can take turns. What should I order for you?

[ Everybody needs glasses ]

We might need to be here longer to see properly. I just hope it's not too long...
productionhell: (i think ghosts need to believe in themse)

[personal profile] productionhell 2025-02-08 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, that's too bad. Maybe next time.

[ maybe never ]

What you described is essentially Hell. Without the wandering. But sinners go there when they die. Well, if they're deemed sinners.

[ this is a kind of sore spot, maybe ]
spiritbalm: (IA_50)

[personal profile] spiritbalm 2025-02-08 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
I've resisted thus far and don't intend to give in now.

[ he does notice the tail at this point, brow furrowing a bit. ]

So what are you, then?
outdistanced: (19)

[personal profile] outdistanced 2025-02-08 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
Get along? It's an arm! What's there to get along with?
faithkept: (how would i find it)

[personal profile] faithkept 2025-02-08 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
[Gazing at him...]

...Would you care for what I was given, then? Though I don't know that it will help you much.

[It's a little crocheted bonnet.]
sarkazm: (8 - hgWySRD)

[personal profile] sarkazm 2025-02-08 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
You seriously don't know? Are you even Terran?

[looking him over, squinting... is he aegir? but there should be some sort of sign.]

What are you, anyway.
noirges: (ღ we were young when i first saw you)

[personal profile] noirges 2025-02-08 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
[ laughs lightly ]

Then maybe it's supposed to mean something comforting...

Mine reminds me of my family.

[ his lycoris.... ]

[personal profile] nonmagicuser 2025-02-08 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
Rather odd they thought it more important than pants but I suppose I can't complain too badly.
productionhell: (you probably watch Million Dollar Baby)

[personal profile] productionhell 2025-02-08 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
[ to the cafe ]

Oh... I think the tablet is broken.

[ after the sea of junkfood everywhere ... ]
midway: (237)

[personal profile] midway 2025-02-08 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
[ Hm. Sorry, he wasn't trying to bum you out. But thinking... ]

Nope, never even heard of it. So we're dealing with [ wiggles his hands ] interdimensional travel.
fried: (sixty)

[personal profile] fried 2025-02-08 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
[ he will try some! it's like... fast food beef bowl, so i can't imagine it's fantastic grade, but jiaoqiu munches on it thoughtfully. ]

... Hmm. Stringy, but not terrible.

[ akihiko's instant ramen hot pot is like, really spicy. like enough to make you tear up spicy, because jiaoqiu is a menace. it's probably pretty good under that though! ]
historicals: (76)

[personal profile] historicals 2025-02-08 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
[ bullied... no it's fine. he rubs at his cheek, embarrassed but good natured about it at his girlfailure of a spell. ]

Well, yes, but... I guess I'm really more of a lover than a fighter? Haha... ha.


[ this is


a joke ]

[ god i'm afraid

anyways he just kind of looks at the pufferfish like SURE WHY NOT because it is not! the weirdest thing he's ever seen on a dining counter. not by a long shot.

the nuggies are much weirder, actually, but nuggie bonding means he will pick one up and choose a sauce at random to try it out in.
]

A few, perhaps, but I would be remiss to forget them completely. [ with a light chuckle, before he takes a momf. ]
faithkept: (it saps nourishment from)

[personal profile] faithkept 2025-02-08 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
Ah... No. I'm from Arpéchéle. I'm afraid I've heard of neither of those places...

[Looking a little sheepish and also vaguely confused but also kind of excited?? He's never met anyone from off of his island before... The afterlife is wild.]
productionhell: (i'm just trying to stop time with)

[personal profile] productionhell 2025-02-08 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
[ she will die ]

Are you not going to eat any?

[ as she continues to politely eat while dying of spice ]
noirges: (ღ i was made for loving you)

[personal profile] noirges 2025-02-08 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I can't be with you all the time and I can't just take something that belongs to you....

So I'd feel bad if I left you two alone and you were still at odds with it.

[personal profile] cupidsammo 2025-02-08 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
[ uh, ]

You've—heard of cupids before, right?
