📌 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.

[apoisoncary]

I. Start

[ She will be found immediately investigating the glass-like protrusions on the ground. Crouching down to poke at them while she curls her other hand under her chin. ]

It looks like it could be a plant but everything is so... [ She seems to be talking to herself!

Oh yeah, she is wearing this and is sporting bandages on both her left arm and left leg. ]

Could it be some kind of hallucinogen?


II. What's this?

[ Later, Maomao is going to be dumping the contents of her giftbox. Picking up the squishmallow first and letting out a sigh. ]

Not what I had in mind when I wanted a snake... [ She can't keep busy with this! Next is the phone. She will lift it up and slowly turn it around in her hands. ]

What is this? [ Just going to tap against it with her knuckle. Then she'll peek over at anyone near to see what they are doing with it. Hm hm hm...]


III. Bring your own starter

[ throw anything at me ]

[ziosar]

A phone.

[Akihiko just looks at it to see what caused the confusion as to what it was, but nah, looks to him like a normal phone. What's the big deal?]

[apoisoncary]

I haven't heard of anything called a phone before. What is it supposed to do?

[ziosar]

You haven't?

[Now that's unusual!]

It's for talking to people who are far away from you. You...really haven't seen one before?

[This is so odd, golly]

[apoisoncary]

[ Giving a nod ]

I haven't. Is that all it really does?

[ She's pondering on if that would be useful to have or not. ]

[ziosar]

Among other things. It's all about communication, but also has a clock, a timer, and other things like that. [Akihiko shrugs] Pretty much everyone has one.

[florescences]

[ she will crouch down next to her but with an appropriate amount of personal distance. ]

Do you mean what you're looking at or what you're experiencing right now?

[apoisoncary]

[ hello! she does glance over to check if she's also seeing something similar. ]

What I'm experiencing. [ a pause ] Are you experiencing the same thing?

[florescences]

That's hard to say right now. What do you think you're experiencing?

[apoisoncary]

A hallucination of some kind. There's strange protrusions on the ground that may be plants and the ground also looks like it should be wet.

[ they died, but this isn't anything like what she thought would be waiting for them. it feels like a dream or a drug trip of some kind ]

[florescences]

We are seeing the same things. I don't think it's a mass hallucination because I doubt we came from the same place.

[outdistanced]

It's a phone.

[ easy. moving on. ]

What would you want a snake for, anyway?

[apoisoncary]

[ do you really want to talk about the snake? ]

It's just something of a hobby of mine. [ we'll go with that! ]

There doesn't seem to be much to do here.

[outdistanced]

What kind of hobby uses a snake?

[ looks around. ]

...Because there's nothing here at all. We can't even text anyone.

[apoisoncary]

I like studying poison during my free time.

[ nbd

his meaning of text seems different from her own. ]

Does this place resemble anything you've seen or heard before?

[outdistanced]

Not really... Unless you really want to go with the "heaven" thing, but even then, there's no big pearly gates or anything.

[ - hold up ]

Wait, poison?! Why?

II

[productionhell]

[ a woman in this outfit goes to look at her giftbox content.... ]

It's a toy! You can squish it. Do you mind if I demonstrate?

[apoisoncary]

[ staring for a moment before she offers the snake over. horns??? ]

I haven't played with toys before.

[productionhell]

[ squishes it!! ]

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

[apoisoncary]

[ they seem connected?

hair ornament? actually attached? ]

I think I'd rather watch other people enjoy it.

[ you can keep on squishing it while she peers at those horns ]

[productionhell]

[ only one way to find out, shortie ]

Are you sure? I find that doing is better than watching!

[ squish squish ]

II

[berserketype]

No clue.

[ hello. basilio doesn't even have his out. ]

Lots of people've got one, but I've got no clue how the stupid thing works. Or what it is.

[apoisoncary]

[ hello kitty ]

It looks like it's made of glass and some other kind of material.

[ frowning at it a bit longer before lifting her gaze up to him

and up and up and up. ]

Some people are just blessed...[ that height ]

[berserketype]

[ nya but wolf adjacent. ]

Yeah, but--- why? What's it even for?

[ what iiiis this. he doesn't notice her breaking her neck to look up at him, it's fine. ]

... Huh?

[apoisoncary]

[ nyoof ]

Maybe there's a trick to it?

[ she's tempted to smack it but at the same time if it breaks she may have to pay for it... ]

Your height. [ don't mind her standing straight to see where she falls on him. she could be his arm rest... ]
