πŸ“Œ 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! πŸ˜‡

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:

πŸ“±
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.
πŸ–ŠοΈ
Pen
One encouraging pen of your choice. Blue ink!
πŸ₯š
Egg
A large egg the color of your halo. About ostrich egg sized. Warm.
βš”οΈ
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...

[......]

...I'll admit you have a point.

[Pains of all kinds, both physical and emotional, feel less daunting when you have good food, yeah.]

I guess at a time like this, it'll help make everyone feel a little better.

[You know, since we're all dead as doornails, whooops. That's bound to cause a bit of angst in people]

That type? Why do I feel like I'm being misunderstood....

[ she doesn't seem that bothered by it. ]

If you're not stopping me, why are you so annoyed at your grouchy friend?
faithkept: (the doomed marigold)

arrival!

[personal profile] faithkept 2025-02-08 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
[The lack of service desk is a true tragedy... But he'll just look over from where he'd been gazing upon his squishy lil toy, giving this lad a curious look.]

Is that so? Where were you anticipating arriving...?
fending: (it doesn't smell like nature)

[personal profile] fending 2025-02-08 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
A what?

[ sounds like a plant?? ]
productionhell: (that's happening right?)

[personal profile] productionhell 2025-02-08 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
It really is.

What should we do next, Samuel?

[ friend!! ship!!! ]
sacredpath: (100)

a.

[personal profile] sacredpath 2025-02-08 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
[she's not that good, honestly. but she'll pull herself together very quickly upon being asked.]

Where are we, then? If you know.
noirges: (ღ i'll be waiting all that's left to do)

[personal profile] noirges 2025-02-08 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
[ insightfully: ]

You seem like you've had a difficult life, my friend.

[ considering... ]

Might be useful to see if we could gather whatever is on the floor.
sacredpath: (63)

[personal profile] sacredpath 2025-02-08 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
In a direction other than the thing with claws. Must I think of everything?
fried: (twenty-three)

[ okay that does jumpscare him though. he goes ??? ]

-- Penacony? [ because he has heard of that! ]

... Right. [SQUINTS.] None of this looks like any shop I've seen.

Always love a shitty joke!

[personal profile] fightolive 2025-02-08 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe we should get some food? This seems like the right place for it.
smokeandglasses: (67)

[personal profile] smokeandglasses 2025-02-08 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
We'll get service eventually. It always takes a day or two for these things to get connected.

[Fuck V*rizon.

Also he's just inspecting the kiosk, not ordering anything yet. He's kind of curious to see how long Laurence will stand around before looking up.

A kitchen, huh? That's an idea... although it's a little difficult right now with everything just being a blur.

It's not you, really. But if you want to go ahead...

[personal profile] darkholder 2025-02-08 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
Then I just have to make it through the fog.

[the absolute confidence]
noirges: (ღ we were young when i first saw you)

[personal profile] noirges 2025-02-08 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
[ unfortunately it's so sincere which makes him brave AND foolish

but he smiles ]


I never know with gods, lately. I'd vouch for you too, if you wanted, but you seem like someone who has things under control? [ it's just an aura ]

So I guess I can just be on standby if you need anything, mademoiselle.
fightolive: (043)

You know it?

[ facing him with her three eyes and brows slightly furrowed. ]

Are you sure? I've heard that people who regift a present so soon after receiving it may fall victim to a terrible curse.
kumeyuri: (80)

[personal profile] kumeyuri 2025-02-08 04:16 am (UTC)(link)
[sits up because it's starting to feel rude having this convo on the ground]

... Uruha Yoji.
sacredpath: (72)

[personal profile] sacredpath 2025-02-08 04:16 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, yes. The bright light will never hold a candle to the subtle beauty of my Lady's domain. In which case, it leads me to feel I am being made a mockery of, to have been sent here. I imagine the same is true for you.
ziosar: 55 (55)

[personal profile] ziosar 2025-02-08 04:16 am (UTC)(link)
[Akihiko is absolutely tearing up, but he isn't letting that deter him at all. Just look at him, still eating as if he's not absolutely dying on the inside. He's going to wake up back outside, once he perishes because Jiaoqiu is a menace]

I myself am surprised this is proving to be decent. Better than I thought it'd be.

[He's a fighter through and through and that includes not conceding he walked straight into this mess]
spiritbalm: (IA_50)

[personal profile] spiritbalm 2025-02-08 04:16 am (UTC)(link)
[ i see! that doesn't seem like a normal answer but what the heck. ]

One has to hope. I don't know how many piles of wasted food I can take rotting away around me for long.
faithkept: (that all beings arrive at)

[personal profile] faithkept 2025-02-08 04:16 am (UTC)(link)
[This sounds like a totally normal and fine god.]

It sounds like you know her well. In that case, there's no need for concern, yes? Ah... But that's true, certainly. I wasn't exactly sure what to expect down to the last detail, but a place "in between" or "on the way" does make much more sense.
