πŸ—ΊοΈ Map
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.

Oh—uh oh, let's not waste it...!

[ and yves is skittering over to help(?????) and bringing over his little gift box!! he is now going to try to catch nuggies and burgers... in the gift box....... oh he's gonna have soooo much food

though after a second - ]


It's almost like a game...
berserketype: (132)

[personal profile] berserketype 2025-02-07 11:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[ oh.

that's a good idea actually. ]


Right. Yeah-- I can do that.

[ he doesn't have his gift box nearby. he's just free-grabbing these burgers i guess. actually. ]

Catch!

[ think fast yves, he's fastballing a burger at the box ]
noirges: (ღ we can be alone)

[personal profile] noirges 2025-02-08 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
[ yves shifts the box in his hands so that it's angled to catch the fastballed burger ]

Score!! Ten points!
berserketype: (130)

[personal profile] berserketype 2025-02-08 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
[ hell yeah! ]

Nice catch! Here-- think you can do it again?
noirges: (ღ "where d'you wanna go?)

[personal profile] noirges 2025-02-08 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
[ winks playfully ]

I bet I could do it a hundred times!
berserketype: (117)

[personal profile] berserketype 2025-02-08 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
It's on, then!

[ CHALLENGE ACCEPTED. ]
noirges: (ღ with something)

[personal profile] noirges 2025-02-08 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
Show me what you've got then!

[ he'll go ahead and empty out the little box full of burgers and nuggies onto a tray and then

ready himself for another round of their stupid lil game to hopefully reduce food waste,, ]
berserketype: (129)

[personal profile] berserketype 2025-02-08 11:58 am (UTC)(link)
[ yippee!! gathering food for the people and having fun while doing it. 10/10 nobel peace prize for both of them. ]

Alright thenβ€” [ he’s backing right up for this one. the touchscreen has moved onto spitting out apple pies now, but for the moment? burgers or bust. ]

Here I go!!

[ y e e t ]
noirges: (ღ and so i'm hiding what i'm feelin)

[personal profile] noirges 2025-02-08 05:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[ BURGERS OR BUST!!! yves jumps at this though and he'll go ahead and use a local chair as leverage so that he can get to a higher vantage point and easily bag the burger!

cat-like reflexes! ]


Come on, Monsieur, you can make it harder than that!

[ WHAT HAPPENED TO THE GOAL OF CATCHING THE FOOD ]
berserketype: (274)

[personal profile] berserketype 2025-02-08 06:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[ hell yeah look at him go! pause for a moment so he can applaud the impressive reflexes there. ]

Nice!

[ they're multitaskers. he can ABSOLUTELY make it harder than that though-- and the challenge has been issued. next time a decently sized burger pchoos its way from wherever all this food is coming from, to where basilio and yves are, bas grabs it and takes a few very long limbed steps back.

brace for impact.

because this burger is getting yote ]
noirges: (ღ all my time)

[personal profile] noirges 2025-02-08 06:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[ BAS YOUR LIMBS WHY ARE THEY SO LONG UNFAIR ADVANTAGE

which is to say that yves is taking that on as a proper challenge, and he'll proceed to jump from the chair he's on, right onto a table, the counter itself and then jump to catch the burger!

HE SUCCEEDS!!!!!!!!!!!!






and crashes right into the wall because he wasn't looking ]
berserketype: (200)

[personal profile] berserketype 2025-02-08 07:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[ TALL PRIVILEGES.



this is all so impressive, until yves eats shit and crashes into the wall. yikes. ]


Bloody hell-- are you alright??

[ AAAAAAAAAA ]
noirges: (ღ we can be alone)

[personal profile] noirges 2025-02-08 07:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[ well

from the heap on the floor

he's just laughing ]


Yeah! The room is spinning a bit, but nothing's broken!
berserketype: (122)

[personal profile] berserketype 2025-02-08 07:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[ i mean.


bas shouldn't laugh, it's his fault basically. but laughter's infectious. ]


'Ere.

[ he holds out a hand. uppies. ]
noirges: (ღ i see nobody)

[personal profile] noirges 2025-02-08 07:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[ uppies!! yves takes the hand happily and then uses his other hand holding his gift box to show the burger safely inside ]

How's that? I think we can call this a pretty victorious tie.

[ CAN THEY? ]

[personal profile] berserketype 2025-02-08 07:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Sure, but y'get docked a point or two for hittin' the wall.

[ these are rules that now exist apparently. yves is carefully pulled to his feet, burger and pride(?) intact. ]

You sure you're alright? You hit that wall pretty hard.
noirges: (ღ saying please don't go)

[personal profile] noirges 2025-02-08 07:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Docked a point? I think I should get a medal of honor for going the extra mile!

[ pouting! but only for half a second because he's just playing. he smiles easily after ]

Mm-hmm. I'm fine. Thanks for worrying about me, but I think we should probably get started on eating some of our spoils instead?
berserketype: (012)

[personal profile] berserketype 2025-02-08 07:59 pm (UTC)(link)
If you'd taken yourself outta the game by breakin' somethin' you'd have no points at all.

[ logic. ]

-- Right. [ there was a goal to all this. ] How much didya get in the end? Just what I threw, or--?
