📌 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.

[ (...?)

Watches the way he glances away as their gaze meet. Well, they're not the best at conversation starters but... No, wait, they do have something. ]

You just.. sorta winging it too?

[boxcar]

[ He glances back at Siffrin. ]

...

What does that mean?

[ I'm sorry, he's not the type to get puns easily. ]

[punnier]

[ (Oh!) ]

You know, when someone goes "you're winging it!" [ (...) ] ..Um. I.. think that's how the saying goes anyways. Maybe?

Anyways, lot of these outfits have wings so....

[ You know, like a play on words... A pun.... A joke..... ]

[boxcar]

...

Oh.

[ Yeah he gets it now. He glances at his stupid sexy angel outfit and frowns. ]

I don't know why we're all dressed like this.

[punnier]

[ Pointedly does not look at his stupid sexy angel outfit. ]

It's pretty weird, right? Couldn't find any of my clothes anywhere. Though I guess I still have this. [ A half gesture to their black eyepatch still securely covering their left eye. ] Did you wake up with some strange gifts too?

[boxcar]

[ His tit is out... except it's not. There's a bandage there, and also one over his head. ]

There was a gift box. There weren't any clothes in it.

Well, there was a scarf but I gave it away.

[punnier]

[ Bandage censor... Siffrin has a bandage wrapped around parts of their head that's mostly covered by their unbrushed hair. Messy. ]

Mm. Mine had mittens and a few.. things? [ Their nose wrinkles, like they can't quite place the name. Though that expression looks curious. ] Gave it away?

[ Said as someone that kept their own crocheted black mittens and wearing them currently. ]

[boxcar]

...

The costumes.

Someone looked uncomfortable so I gave them the scarf in my box.

[punnier]

[ (Oh, you get it.) ]

That's really nice of you. I'm sure they appreciated it.

[boxcar]

Better it gets some use. Not sure where I'd use a scarf right now.

...

Are you also... dead?

[punnier]

[ A weird gestures happens from them, a hand raising as if to grab and pull something down but. There's nothing on their head so they just tuck their arms back down. ]

..It sorta seems that way?

[boxcar]

[ Robbed of hat... our Siffrin... ]

It also sort of seems that way to me.

...

I don't know what's going to happen next, but at least it's not lonely here.

[punnier]

[ Their hat... doko.... ]

...There is a lot of people here. I was thinking some of them must have been here already but.. it might be the same for all of us?

[boxcar]

It feels that way. It doesn't seem like anybody is a bad person...

I don't understand anything that's going on. Why the box of stuff. Why this.

[ Looks at his outfit. ]

Or that.

[ Points to their halo. ]

[punnier]

[ Looks at the egg in their own arms, then to their own outfit, before looking back at him and then

...up? At the sky? ]

My hair?

[ Looks at his halo before.. ] ..Oh. Do I.. have one too??

[ Realization. ]

[boxcar]

No, the white stars. Yeah.

I think I have one too? I can only sort of see it.

[punnier]

[ (.."White"?) ]

..Stars. [ That is at least familiar. If feels like a bit of a joke. But they decide not to think about it, peering up at his halo. ] You do.

It's, um... a lightless filled circle.

[boxcar]

[ He frowns. ]

Do you think it means anything?

[punnier]

[ A head tilt. ]

..not one are the same so it might mean something. [ (Not that you know what.) ] Yours reminds me.. almost of a eclipse. Or the events of a lightless hole in space.

[ Black hole. ]

[boxcar]

...

Is that a good thing?

[ Furrowed brow. Lightless hole sounds kind of bad. ]

[punnier]

Probably depends on how you look at it?

[ Takes a moment to think, trying to latch onto that thought to not let it go. ]

A lightless hole is.. a cosmic body of intense gravity where even light cannot escape it. Not that you can see it normally by looking at a night sky like you can stars.

[boxcar]

[ This doesn't seem to make him feel better. ]

I don't know a whole lot about space and stars. That's what that's about right?

[punnier]

[ Sorry Marcoh. But that mention does get them to smile a bit more softer. ]

It is. There's actually quite a bit about space and stars not a lot of people know or... well, think about it. It's all really interesting.

[boxcar]

I'm sure it is.

I just never had the space to think about it much.

[punnier]

[ Just




stifles a laugh. OOPS. ]
