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.

[ and then he shakes his head and brings a hand up to WHERE THE GIANT EGG has HIT HIM. OFFENDED. ]

Andraste's knickweasels-- What is wrong with you?!
foreverphantom: (...can you imagine it?)

[ he's not proud of it, but he tensed and took a step back for a moment when anders whirled on him with the knife.

but if he goes back to looking as pathetic as he does in that last icon, he immediately relaxes again and folds his arms. ]


You got a while? Because it's a long, long list.

[ yes he goes back to sorta pathetic, huffing and going to wipe the blood off the blade on a sleeve. or whatever is free on this costume. ]

Eternity, apparently. So start listing.
foreverphantom: (they were looking for survivors)

[personal profile] foreverphantom 2025-02-08 09:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Wait, seriously? [ does he ACTUALLY want to hear this? ]
spiritbalm: (FA_7)

[personal profile] spiritbalm 2025-02-08 09:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes.

[ do it. ]
foreverphantom: (breaking on the ground)

[personal profile] foreverphantom 2025-02-08 09:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[ you know what. good on you for calling his/my bluff. now i have to actually write it out. ]

Let's see...I've died three times over--no wait, four now. I spent nearly two years shoved into a void the size of water bottle. I'm made up of two different deranged people. My entire world was left to burn because apparently I personally deserved it, I nearly destroyed all of reality as we know it, I got shoved into a new puny body that apparently could barely last a month before falling apart, and in that month I was getting parented by one of the guys that I am. And now, apparently, I'm in something that looks like heaven as yet another personal torture chamber.

[ absolutely none of that makes a single lick of sense to anders because it starts with repeatedly dying and hes stuck on that.

anyway, just silence for like a full minute.
]

Okay. Sorry that happened to you. Deal with it by inflicting violence somewhere other than my person.
foreverphantom: (and when it's all been said and done)

[personal profile] foreverphantom 2025-02-08 10:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[ rolls his eyes ] Please, that was hardly anything. I was just trying to distract you.

[ he's lived in kirkwall for close to a decade now, so. ]

I don't even have anything to steal.
foreverphantom: (have a toast!)

[personal profile] foreverphantom 2025-02-08 10:09 pm (UTC)(link)
That's what you think.
