Weekend 0
🗺️ Map
📌 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.

It says, "Be Kind."

[she sounds disgusted, and then kaworu goes for it.]

Excuse you! That's mine!

Right? It seems rather entertaining, although if it's meant to be a weapon, it is a poor one...

[ his ear flicks when taair approaches! swivels towards him too. ]

It is. I thought... [ he trails off. ] Hmm. In any case. Are you here to take me to my next destination?

[personal profile] historicals 2025-02-07 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm glad to hear it.

[ can you imagine if i was poisoning you on the weekend 0 mingle......

he looks away politely, back out at the fog, expression shifting a bit to a more thoughtful one. ]


...Would you mind telling me - when you walked through the fog, what was your experience?

[ Well Mizu definitely looks the part of someone who either needs a lot of help OR is someone majorly suspicious. Marcoh is mostly quietly minding his own business but will subtly get into a defensive stance when he's squinted at. ]

It's Marcoh. Who are you?

Magic livestock?

[ He doesn't know that a chicken nugget is made of chicken. It is unrecognizable to him... he probably thinks it's potato. Anyway, looks between Hawke and a nugget. ]

Are you going to try it?
noirges: (ღ i was made for loving you)

[ yves smiles at the confirmation that jacopo's okay, and seems to be comfortable on the floor. he just lets his hands fall on his lap as he looks up

at the second question, he looks more thoughtful ]


Well... I'd hate to answer your question with a question, but what's the last thing you remember?

Because the last thing I recall is dying. So I might not be very helpful to you.

Oh. Yeah, looks like they are. [a beat] ... Did you want one?

[personal profile] productionhell 2025-02-07 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[ just smiling through the pain and trying to make him feel better, nbd ]

Oh, that's alright. Maybe we can figure it out together! I'm Charlie, by the way. Can I shake your hand, mister?

[ so as not to startle him again.... ]

If I didn't know better, I'd say we're in Heaven, but that's.... there's no way that's the case.

[personal profile] noirges 2025-02-07 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, to be fair, we can probably worry about a few things at once...

[ he tilts his head ]

What's your name, Mademoiselle? I'm Yves. I don't think we've ever met before...

[ He's very confused, has never seen a furry in his life. ]

...They're moving like they're real.
productionhell: (i'm just trying to stop time with)

[personal profile] productionhell 2025-02-07 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Alright then! I wouldn't want this, ah.... tasty looking meal to go to waste.

[ politely starts eating it even though she looks a bit like she's in pain ]

Shadowheart...

[she's watching him with a little bit of trepidation but also a bit of amusement. trepidation only because of the sword; she has her hand on her light saber just in case.]

And you must be the linen closet. Good to know.

Oh! My apologi–

[THE WAY HIS GAZE DEFINITELY LINGERS FOR A SECOND ON HER. EVERYTHING. But he's trying his best not to be rude... People have tails in heaven, so this lady can have gangrene if she wants...]

Unfortunately, yes. I touched it with my palm, so I ended up summoning several things at once...

[Fortunately miscreants break the shit out of this later so they're free from this mistake.]
faithkept: (that all beings arrive at)

[personal profile] faithkept 2025-02-08 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
[Tilting his head to the side as he OBSERVES THIS GUY OBSERVING HIM. The lil fancy halo moves with him. Mr. VOID HALO OVER HERE, MEANWHILE...]

Oh, my. Are you the quiet sort, or does this look even stranger than I thought?

[ it's probably less hot pot and more like, fast food ramen but listen, it's close enough. ]

It would be rude of me to deny such a generous offer. [ he does not look at akihiko, but his ear flicks! ] What did you have in mind?
gutterbound: (071)

Listen up 10s a 4 is talking

1) No

[The breeze of air on bare legs is somehow more perturbing than the bandage rounding his head, or the watery cast to the ground. Richie had startled awake, blinking near to blindness in the sudden light, and looked down to find his knobby knees exposed in some kind of sporty toga situation. Two-shouldered, thank god, but also what in god's name?]

The fuck...?

[A thought that dies in time with the drop of his jaw. Richie sits stunned on the ground, gazing out at a whole lotta sky and a lotta bodies with not a-lotta coverage.

Also shit is floating above everyone's heads.

Give him a moment. He's in a rare state of stunned silence. His glasses slip a little down his nose.]



2) No...

[Standing by the touchscreen, frowning. Pulls out his new cell phone.

Baps it to the screen. They are both glass slabs??? Frowns at this puzzle.]



3) This is stupid

Christ on a bike. Not only is it a dry county, but the only amenities around got choked up in sloppy burgers, and there's about thirty-odd guys in short skirts walking over a reflective floor. [He's wiping at his eyes beneath his glasses, dragging out a long sigh.] Never been more thankful to sit at a minus four-oh-three on a vision chart.

And what are we doing with these? [Foot-nudges this EGG. WHAT IS THIS.] What laid this five-pound motherfucker? Because I don't want to be around when it comes back for it, but shit, where would you even go?

I. good... morning?

[ well.

zhongli is no stranger to the unusual happening, but this certainly takes the cake as he gets to his feet and tries to figure out where, exactly, he is. at least there's a clue - a box!

by the by, his outfit... doesn't really match his home item all that much, but it looks like this. except there's a few alterations, his gloves much longer, and not fingerless, his expression less enthusiastic. this is the fastest i have ever drawn something so don't look too closely at it.
]

... the offering of a pamphlet tends to imply that there will be one, I'd think. [ yeah he's also going through the box. the crocheted accessory for him is a myriad of gold colors in the form of... a scarf! he's currently wrapping it carefully around the egg that he's found, despite the fact that he is extremely bemused. ] What are these things in here...

[ he's using the squishmallow to cushion the bottom of the box, setting the swaddled egg atop it before examining the phone and lightsaber in confusion. ]


II. ill-advised walkies

[ not exactly one to stand idly by, off he goes with his polearm and his box of loot, barefoot and unafraid. when encountering anyone between their arrival point and his destination - ]

Pardon me. [ polite and calm, he neatly steps around you, giving a slight bow of his head, before continuing onwards... towards the unknown and unclear horizon? ] Should I see anything, I'll return immediately, if possible.


III. old man befuddled by tech

My, how interesting. Not unlike the device in the box...

[ hey, are you at the cafe too? there's this tall guy standing at the counter, one hand to his chin while the other rests neatly on his gift box to keep his now nestled egg secure on the counter while he surveys this... thing. he's from liyue, they don't have this kind of technology, NATLAN.

with mild but obvious curiosity, he removes his hand from his chin and reaches down to start pressing the buttons on the screen, bending forward slightly to get a closer look as he tap, tap, taps through the menu.
]

An unusual assortment of cuisines... though I suppose beggars often cannot be choosers, especially with so little to come by in an endless space such as this. Excuse me - have you heard of some of these?

[ sorry you're getting drawn into looking at fast food choices fam. ]
