📌 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.

♡

I'd love one!

[wait, then she hears the rest of the sentence.]

Oh. Well. I suppose it can't hurt.

[historicals]

[ yeah

with his hand to his heart like a startled maiden, he laughs, squatting down to pick it up. ]

So I see! A toy sword, is it...? How charming. [ and he turns his hand so it comes in and out again. when it lights up, his whole face also lights up like this is christmas morning. ] I've never seen anything like it, before.

[fried]

[ aw, his smile gets a little more genuine here. just a little. ]

It is indeed. I'm glad to find someone who shares my values - food is meant to be shared. And this appears to be free, and limitless.

[ he glances over his shoulder at yves. ] Which of these look best to you?

[ they're all like, varying levels of spicy, from mild to jesus christ i can't feel my tongue ]

[spiritbalm]

i.

[ okay well despite the cool outfit— i’m just kidding its not cool. he does not have the body for this. somehow this costume already looks sad and bedraggled and it’s only been on him for five minutes. it’s gently shedding feathers. pathetic, wet aura. it’s fine, this costume means nothing to him, he is used to feathers.

that’s all well and good though because he’s just standing here kind of in the middle of all the activity and staring at a knife and silently frowning for a while.

yes obviously the knife is covered in blood. ]

ii.

[ you can watch him try to open one of the bathroom doors, find it locked, sigh SO VERY DEEPLY and then plonk his forehead against it. ]

That seems about right.

iii.

[ later i guess just sitting at the cafe, looking over all of his stuff - there is like nothing here that makes any sense to him. except the knitted scarf. that makes sense, obviously. the knife is still here. ]

Well, don’t look at me, I’m as confused as you are. It’s not what I was expecting either.

[ he’s not addressing you. he’s talking to the squishmallow which is sitting in front of him instead. gently squishing it. ]

Then again the Chantry hasn’t been right on many counts lately …

[productionhell]

[ a woman in this outfit approaches him slowly, crouching down ]

Are you alright, mister?

cafe

[midway]

[ Also looking at his screen. ]

What is it supposed to do?

[kumeyuri]

... Seems like a poor oversight. We're off to a bad start here.

[boxcar]

[ He still looks like he kind of feels bad but if she says so. ]

No. I don't have any idea.

I was in Prehevil, and then I... uh. I don't know, it doesn't look anything like that place.

[outdistanced]

If only they'd answer it! [ the vibes are old man yells at clouds. ] And what are you talking about, anyway? None of that's mine...

[ oh shit it is moving?! he yelps and jumps back a step. ]

What the--!

[ the basket continues to Wiggle ]

ii.

[berserketype]

[ well.... he's just gonna lean over and sniff at one of the hotpots from a respectable, non-food contaminating distance. ]

Now how'd you get it to make you somethin' like this? Stupid thing just kept spittin' bread and sticky drinks at me instead of anythin' edible.

iii

[chrysanths]

[ He wonders if the pen will just break in Marcoh's hand... ]

What is that thing?

[ just. stares at marcoh's squishmallow. ]

i

[florescences]

It could be, it could be~ Is it one you want to wake up from?

[ everything is out of focus, elysia. ]

[kumeyuri]

A button for shutting it down?

i!

[faithkept]

[Just watching this massively tall person with animal ears try so hard to see his own halo like "this may as well happen I guess".]

Are you doing alright...? If you're having trouble getting a look, I could describe it to you.

a.

[sacredpath]

[holding her light saber out in front of her.]

Are you mad? Don't wave that thing around, who knows what it might do.

b

[productionhell]

[ a woman in this outfit" is standing next to him as he does this... and covers her eyes to protect his modesty ]

Ah, are you sure you want to do that?

[historicals]

[ he weighs like four pounds soaking wet so that's a no

anyway there's a very undignified yelp. subsumed into the burger pile ]

[boxcar]

[ Unlikely. ]

They're ordering too many burgers.

[ You should go get one. ]

[darkholder]

[waves a hand]

I don't make offers without being sure. If we need to eat, I'm sure I'll find something later.

[kumeyuri]

Unless you think you'll have better luck than me.

[tiredly holds up a hand in a peace sign]

... Yeah, I'll be fine.

[noirges]

And you were hoping that your divine creator would greet you with their bosom?

[ okay he's just laughing a little bit ]

Well, you're not wrong that there's a distinct lack of that so far. But at least from what I can tell, we have relative safety and plenty of food.

[ziosar]

[Akihiko is looking away just enough not to lose track of any conversation, but yeah, although normally he's not all that persnickety about clothes, this is revealing enough for him to feel like looking in that direction probably is something he shouldn't do]

I think that's an angel, not Santa.

[obdure]

It lacks personality and warmth without people, in my opinion.

[ Not that he supposes they need that. He crosses his arms. ]

Those who have experience would do better. Have you any?

[outdistanced]

[ is this girl like. okay. ]

Yeah? Who else would I be talking to?

[berserketype]

[ the genuine confusion he's feeling right now. no one's ever been confused to see a paripus before in his lifetime. ]

... Somethin' wrong?
