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.

If it is one, it would be nice if it was more in focus. It's so hazy...

It's like they're trying to hide something. A mystery~ What do you think is behind all the fog?
fightolive: (092)

[personal profile] fightolive 2025-02-08 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
What would they want to hide from us?

[If this is the afterlife, then isn't it fine?]

Maybe there are answers behind it.

[personal profile] florescences 2025-02-08 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
If it's not hiding, then maybe we aren't acclimated enough yet. Maybe it's a matter of time, or maybe that's how it's meant to be.

[personal profile] fightolive 2025-02-08 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
I hope it doesn't take too long. It's disorienting when I don't know what this place is supposed to look like at all.
florescences: (119)

[personal profile] florescences 2025-02-08 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
Hmm... I don't know what else we have but time right now. [ if they're dead, but elysia isn't going to say it so bluntly for now. ] But I'll hope with you. It'll be better for everyone that way.

[ She knows... She doesn't like to think about it. ]

Have you been able to look around much?
florescences: (124)

[personal profile] florescences 2025-02-08 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
[ she sighs. ]

I've been able to get lost more than I'd like.
fightolive: (051)

[personal profile] fightolive 2025-02-08 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
The sooner we can actually see the better. There aren't even landmarks.
florescences: (125)

[personal profile] florescences 2025-02-08 04:45 am (UTC)(link)
There's one.

[ she glances over to wherever the cafe is, however destroyed or not destroyed it may be at this point. ]
fightolive: (076)

[personal profile] fightolive 2025-02-08 04:49 am (UTC)(link)
[It may or may not have the burger mountain.]

Have you checked it out already?
florescences: (50)

[personal profile] florescences 2025-02-08 05:12 am (UTC)(link)
Just a little. I didn't want to get in the way of anyone's dining experience.

[ she can only handle so much burger and fry mountain. ]

Are you hungry? Do you want to have something together?
fightolive: (048)

[personal profile] fightolive 2025-02-08 05:17 am (UTC)(link)
[Death takes a lot out of a girl.]

I could eat something. Having a meal together sounds nice.
florescences: (91)

[personal profile] florescences 2025-02-08 05:28 am (UTC)(link)
It's a date~ Let's go.

[ to the still not super in focus cafe. ]
fightolive: (043)

[personal profile] fightolive 2025-02-08 03:01 pm (UTC)(link)
A date?

[So sudden!]
florescences: (50)

[personal profile] florescences 2025-02-08 06:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Isn't it more exciting that way?
fightolive: (039)

[personal profile] fightolive 2025-02-08 06:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Um- I... yes?
florescences: (103)

[personal profile] florescences 2025-02-08 07:04 pm (UTC)(link)
We're agreed. No need to think about it more than that. β™ͺ
fightolive: (043)

[personal profile] fightolive 2025-02-08 07:13 pm (UTC)(link)
If you're sure.

[ She'll think about it. ]
florescences: (123)

[personal profile] florescences 2025-02-08 07:25 pm (UTC)(link)
What's not to be sure about? Do you not think I'm cute? Do you not want to be friends?
fightolive: (043)

[personal profile] fightolive 2025-02-08 07:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh no, none of that. Please don't think it's anything about you.

I just... Haven't gone on dates before.
florescences: (46)

[personal profile] florescences 2025-02-08 07:39 pm (UTC)(link)
The best way to learn is to experience. All you have to do is be yourself.
fightolive: (050)

[personal profile] fightolive 2025-02-08 09:56 pm (UTC)(link)
That should be simple enough.
