📌 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.

[outdistanced]

Maybe, but that doesn't mean they're going to care what happens to any of the other ones. Some people are just rude.

[noirges]

[ looks back to laurence ]

We appear to be at an impasse.

Well... I can hang out with you guys for a little while, until we figure out what to do.

[fightolive]

Yes, that's true. When all you have is each other, it's best to be comfortable working together.

[cupidsammo]

Ooooh, what's the point in breaking it...

[ weh :c ]

But if it still works, I'm okay with just a burger and fries.

[sacredpath]

I can see why that would bring you comfort, yes.

[except not really.]

Let's hope not. A sense of humor can be a delightful quality, but probably slightly less so on a god.

[historicals]

None taken, I assure you - I'd be more worried if you wanted one.

[ :stressed: but there's a tug at the corner of his mouth that suggests he also thinks its funny, mostly at his own expense. ]

All joking aside... I do usually have access to magic. It does make sense - the majority of it is focused in healing, and... if we're dead, I guess there's not really much need for that anymore, is there?

[fightolive]

I hope it doesn't take too long. It's disorienting when I don't know what this place is supposed to look like at all.

[spiritbalm]

[ stop he's going to fucking hurl ]

That's worse news than you dying.

[productionhell]

[ i'm sorry to say she will absolutely let him bully her ]

Then, to a shared meal.

[ charlie gives off the vibe that she is suffering, but she will continue to eat it ]

You have a very strong stomach, sir.

[sacredpath]

...We're standing in some sort of clear, possibly holy water. I suspect what you propose will be noticed.

[this is our cr now. anyway be less bi when you talk about pee.]

[florescences]

You can't find out what's impossible or not, if you don't try, right?

[ she'll be the youth if it's fun. not the second of sadness, but elysia smiles back. now's not the time to pry. ]

I don't know how true of it is for others, but I think mine suits me. It reflects just enough.

[fightolive]

Hmm... butterflies and fireflies are both beautiful. I haven't really sung before, it might be nice to try?

[dickkick]

[ waves hand nonchalantly ]

Eh, I've eaten worse.

[cupidsammo]

[ ........ ]

R- right. Hahah... Just kidding?

[gutterbound]

Fucking hell!

[Okay backing the fuck up with hands upright and in peaceful position, shit, what is this guy's deal?]

I'm Rich. Not Satan himself, if that's what you're worried about. I came here for a hot lunch and nothing more.

[productionhell]

Essentially, yes, I am.

[ charlie stays still, trying to be non-threatening despite her deviantart demon appearance ]

You're human, right? I didn't mean to startle you.

[outdistanced]

The... universe?

[ this is kind of blowing his mind he's just a guy who lives in a tower. ]

That sounds like too much for any one person.

[ugghh]

...Understandable, I suppose.

[ at least you have sense akihiko. ]

[apoisoncary]

[ She was hoping to see what would happen if someone did raise one, but at the same time he does have a point there. Crossing her arms as she considers it. ]

If this is the afterlife, then they could be related to how we're judged.

[ That's what people usually what people believe, right? ]

Our gifts do seem strange though. What use do I have for a stuffed snake?

[florescences]

A saint? [ she smiles. ] Yes, that's one interpretation. Is there any reason why you shouldn't?

[cupidsammo]

—Hahah. Is it good?

4!

[purities]

[unhelpfully watches him walk into the fog and just starts counting the seconds to see how long this is gonna take.]

[productionhell]

[ dives to catch it!! whew. safe. ]

Still-- they tried, and that counts for something. You don't need to be so harsh.

[spiritbalm]

[ hmmmmmmm. ]

Well, is it working for you? Do you feel comforted?

[historicals]

[ ah... familiar. ]

I know what you mean. [ there's a moment where he lifts his hand to rub at his chest, briefly, but shakes his head afterwards, letting it go. ] Let us hope whatever judgement awaits is fair, indeed.

It is curious - that you know others here with us. You're the first that I've spoken to who does. With a name like Yves... perhaps Sir Adolphe?
