📌 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.

[ you know, he didn't even Think about it? it just happened so naturally that having it pointed out is....jarring. like, oh. right! I was bloody furious with you, wasn't I? ]

Glowing brighter than the sun itself? Be harder to miss? A little glaring on the eyes.

[ that said ]

If you don't think I'm not going to take the opportunity to haunt the ever loving shite out of you, than I'd hardly think you know me at all. [ wiggles his fingers ] Ooo I'm the blasted ghost of stupid choices you have to live with.

[cupidsammo]

You... you can be born there?

[fried]

What thing? The screen?

[ he tilts his head. ] I'm not sure. We can look.

[ did you want to be alone because too bad ]

[productionhell]

Well, it's just, there's no other clothing around! [ she says, still covering her eyes ]

You don't want to be naked, right? There must be a middle ground.

[trifocal]

Oh! [ She looks back to him. ] My apologies. I must look very strange to you.

[ not because of the extra eye or anything, though ]

I actually once faced a trial very similar to this one... One meant to deceive the eyes and disorient the senses, causing one to always return to where they started should they stray down the wrong path.

The solution, then, was to find another way of looking at the path ahead.

[florescences]

[ snuke????? jannifer explain

she takes a moment to think. ]

I could be wrong. I don't know this place works, but... I've spent thousands of years.... being around. How long can you live?

[noirges]

[ with truly unabashed warmth and delight: ] There's no one I respect in this world more than my grandfather. You honor me.

[ hehe... he's so happy. they have truly soup bonded. but yves will just place the next round of Soup Hot Ones in front of them both ]

Let's make him proud! I wasn't even sick, Doc, but I'm feeling leaps and bounds better already.

[fightolive]

It's.... Nice doing things with friends... Right?

[productionhell]

[ there sure is a demon in heaven ]

Yes, it is a lot to put on someone without asking.... but isn't the little egg so cute? I wonder what it'll hatch into.

[cupidsammo]

Maybe it's more like... purgatory?

[outdistanced]

I don't care where we are. I just want to go home.

...Seriously? But you aren't even that old.

B

[smokeandglasses]

[Someone is absolutely stopping him.]

They probably have chickens somewhere that they process for cooking.

...also don't order more than ten, that's how much an adult should eat at most.

[fightolive]

You think so?

[florescences]

I'm teasing, I'm teasing~ It'll be fine. I don't want anyone to get into trouble.

[ she's sincere. ]

If you can't trust me, how about I go first and show you?

[purities]

I asked for a name. You answered "no." Until I have something else to refer to you by, that's what I'll call you.

[the mummification is fine....... everything is fine.

scowls.]

You think it would would've all gone away with death.

ii!

[faithkept]

[JUST WATCHES THIS LAD HOOVER UP A WHOLE MEAL LIKE HE HASN'T EATEN IN MONTHS.]

...Oh, my. Would you care for something else, dear? You seem quite hungry.

[fending]

Got a scarf, yeah, but you can't exactly wear that on your legs.

[ his outfit's a lot tamer than most of the others here. he just wants his pants back... ]

[productionhell]

If you're sure.... but I just want you to know, even if it's a little strong for me, [ what an understatement ] I really enjoyed getting to try it with you.

[ wow. loser ]

Mmm. I'm sorry about that.

[fightolive]

[A pause.]

Did you see a pamphlet?

[productionhell]

[ squishes it!! ]

Well, why not try it now? There's no time like the present!

[nonmagicuser]

Maker blessed miracle. If it'd been raining on top of all of this I'd demand a do-over.

[apoisoncary]

[ This sounds like it could be a sensitive topic for him, so... ]

Do you think we're meant to use these to contact each other then?

[ It isn't like they could get far enough to need it...right? ]

[productionhell]

Yes. Plenty of demons were.

Can I ask where you're from, Kohaku?

[fightolive]

The sooner we can actually see the better. There aren't even landmarks.

[lightning]

[ i feel so called out rn by claude... jing yuan would treat his weapon with greater care but i just want to be a silly little clown on the intro log... :sob:

jing yuan, still smiling, looks like he's considering a certain someone having a heart attack. ]

Indeed. I would probably receive a tongue lashing for the error of my ways.

[ watches claude pick up burger. ]

I'm glad it hasn't dampened your appetite, at the very least.
