📌 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.

[midway]

[ Lifts his hands in surrender and sits down. ]

Alright. I'll have a cup of tea for myself then.

[faithkept]

Ah... as I'm familiar with it, that would be Hades, so...

[THE SAME?? THE SAME??? DIFFERENT BUT THE SAME????]

...I wasn't aware that there were any existences born and raised in such a place, even so, so perhaps they're different after all. Demons are the only thing that exist within the confines of Hades, beyond the souls of sinners.

[noirges]

[ adolphe played this so cool. he was so normal about it. super average.

yves, who similarly is wearing a mask to cover half his face, at least spares the third eye a glance before smiling politely and continuing on ]

Not to answer your question with another question, mademoiselle, but what's the last thing you remember?

For me, it was dying. If that helps inform you any.

[dickkick]

[ you know what? yeah sure i love to please the people.

he suddenly stops laughing and straightens back up. looks down at his lightsaber. looks over at his knife on the ground. looks back at the lightsaber. ]

[dijun]

Mm. I would rather we not have to try and break the other door to use it.

[ the PRIVACY also the fact they can't break them. ]

Together, then. Seeing what's out here is better than simply wondering and never knowing, even if the end result is nothing more than fog and more of the formless shapes.

[lightning]

[ his eyes close briefly, though his smile stays. he shakes his head. ]

I have not seen her.

[ and hopefully jiaoqiu will allow a small measure of humor. ]

To my vast relief. I fear she is a force to contend with on heaven or earth, and there does not seem to be any wine here to appease her.

[boxcar]

That's true.

[ Simply accepts this reasoning. ]

......

What do you think would come out of it?

[sarkazm]

[oh-- she laughs after a second, high and sharp.]

Ooh, he really didn't like that one. I don't think I've heard him swear like that at anyone but me.

[kumeyuri]

[a little shrug]

You don't get far as a warrior if you're too afraid.

[cupidsammo]

[ a beat, then a shake of her head ]

No, I've never seen anywhere like this before... I'm as lost as everyone else.

[dickkick]

[ he yeets the lightsaber and picks up his cool knife. ]

[productionhell]

[ her expression darkens, for the first time in this conversation ]

Extermination. Heaven's exorcists.... they want to kill all of them. I can't let that happen.

[peripheries]

I don't know! I would have liked to know but... I had very little time to learn in the end.

[he laughs and it's genuine and bitter at the same time. Like he can't decide.]

You're right. I am not human. I was made when they tried to harness powers beyond their imagination. So though I am not human, I exist on a narrow path that they created. My fate, predetermined.

[punnier]

[ (Oh, you get it.) ]

That's really nice of you. I'm sure they appreciated it.

[faithkept]

[This man is such a fucking furry.

There's a little bit of sympathy in his expression, though, and in the small frown that follows.]

...It sounds as though you were in quite an unpleasant situation before ending up here, then. I'm sorry to hear it... I should hope that that's the case, if it's what you hope for. Have you seen any of those who were with you, yet?

[sarkazm]

What would I want to look like one of them for?

[gross! disgusting.]

[historicals]

[ whostosay.gif

taair clasps his hands together at that, though, his whole face warming up. ]

I like to learn. [ less so to be a pioneer. ] And to see things for myself, and experience them. If I'm dead, then I may as well make the most of it, don't you think?

[boxcar]

I don't know. I'm not keen to believe it is, but it probably makes sense...?

Where are you from?

[kumeyuri]

[a sigh]

... Yeah, that sums it up. For better or for worse, we're in the same boat, looks like.

[noirges]

[ a sheepish, understanding smile ]

It's been doing that to everyone, it's a bit disorienting...

[ but he'll look up at her flower ornament after she was trying to adjust it ]

Need another pair of hands, mademoiselle? I can help fasten it for you, if you'd like. My grandpa taught me how to place pins like that when I was young.

[ugghh]

Hah?

[ ????????????????????????? ]

[trifocal]

Sir Fidelio?

[ ???? ]

Wh, what do you mean? I should like to ask the same of you...

[fending]

[ seems fair, honestly. though... huh. he kind of glances at akihiko's hair and ears for a second before meeting his eyes again. ]

Everyone just got here all at once, then?

[cupidsammo]

[ hm. ]

To make a good breakfast?

[boxcar]

Do I look older?

[ He's not self-conscious about this but he's just asking. ]
