📌 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.

[outdistanced]

[ sir exiting the cafe immediately holds the burger and drink he ordered in front of him like a shield ]

What is that thing?!

[sacredpath]

[that's not going to do the trick. it will definitely leap up - more like a dog boldly trying to steal your dinner out of your hands than a vicious creature, but it does have a nasty curved beak and claws.]

Stop it!

[she will try to grab it around the neck.]

It's an owlbear cub. Don't just stand there gawking.

[outdistanced]

[ yelps and throws the burger at it?! stay back!! ]

What am I supposed to do?! I can't teleport out of here!

[sacredpath]

[he will absolutely start scarfing up that burger while she grabs him around the neck.]

How about anything useful at all? You're very lucky we've been feeding this thing and it's not bigger, or you'd be dead.

[outdistanced]

Excuse me for never having seen a - an "owlbear" cub or whatever it is! We don't have weird things like that where I'm from!

Why would you even have something like that around if it could kill people, anyway?

[sacredpath]

I didn't ask it to be here! Besides, you can only think to teleport away, so I imagine a great many things could kill you if they put a little effort in.

[outdistanced]

I'm a Daphne, not a Begonia! What else am I supposed to do?!

[sacredpath]

I don't know what any of that means, but I'd suggest trying common sense? If you're outmatched, you could at least run away.

[outdistanced]

And run where! It's just empty sky all around!

[sacredpath]

In a direction other than the thing with claws. Must I think of everything?

[outdistanced]

You clearly haven't thought about leashing your crazy pet!

[sacredpath]

It isn't my pet, and, as I said, I didn't bring it here.

[outdistanced]

And I didn't bring an arm! Who cares?! It's here now, isn't it?

[sacredpath]

...An arm?

[surprised out of yelling at him.]

[outdistanced]

An arm!

[ immediately so mad he forgets to yell back at shadowheart ]

As if supposedly being dead wasn't bad enough! That guy and his creepy inventions are still haunting me!

[sacredpath]

I don't have any idea what you're on about. Don't yell at me about it.

[outdistanced]

I'm not.

[ he definitely was. sorry about him. ]

But if you see an arm crawling around, that's Iris's little buddy. Apparently he even named it, the freak! I have no idea why someone would think I'd want the damn thing.

[sacredpath]

An arm. Such as -

[gesturing to her arm?]

[outdistanced]

Sort of. Only it's, like... robotic, I guess?

[sacredpath]

I... do not know what that means.

[outdistanced]

Oh. It's, uh... What does Iris make these things out of, anyway? Metal. And maybe plastic? For the plates.

[ terrible explanation. ]

You'll know it when you see it.

[sacredpath]

Ah. A metal arm - that's less alarming, then. I will keep a look out for it, then.

[outdistanced]

...Did you think I meant an actual human arm?

[sacredpath]

To be fair, you did say "arm" with no other clarifications.

[also to be fair, there's probably four or five loose arms in their camp supplies right now.]

[outdistanced]

[ i'm sorry why are there arms ]

...Yeah. Sorry about that.
