📌 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.

[dijun]

[ this does get a light chuckle out of zhongli, actually. as he's delicately holding a french fry between thumb and forefinger like he's never eaten this in his life. (he has not) ]

Yes, perhaps that's the right way to look at it.

[punnier]

[ (...Oh!)

Pleasantly surprised by a chuckle, they smile a little more. And since he's holding a fry like it's some new dish... they point at it.]

French fries are pretty good, nicer with ketchup. Though you can dip em in quite a few things.

[dijun]

[ grandpa doesn't mind a few good puns even if he's not wont to make them, himself. he's told some bad jokes in his time. ]

Can you, now? I believe they're part of a popular dish in another nation, if I recall correctly, but I've not had the chance to try them for myself, before now. Do you prefer ketchup or something else?

[punnier]

[ Their head tilts at the mention of nation, curious. ]

Yeah, french fries aren't really popular in a lot of places but they're a pretty staple side where I was. [ (What you prefer...) ] Mmm. Ketchup is fine. I like them plain, too.

[dijun]

[ he hums a thoughtful sound, before going to join them properly to survey sauces. ]

Fish and chips, I believe it was. Not Fontaine's most famous dish, considering the delicacies they tout, but regardless a known and popular street food. [ he will have order!! of ketchup. ]

[punnier]

It's a pretty popular dish in Vaugarde as well.

[ Though... ] I've never heard of Fontaine before. Where is that?

[dijun]

Hm. [ well then. ] Nor have I heard of Vaugarde. Fontaine is the Nation of Hydro, west of my own home nation, Liyue.

I suppose you haven't heard of that, either..?

[punnier]

Hy..dro? Liyue?

[ The words are said slowly, like tasting the words on their tongue, still just as puzzled. A shake of their head after, taking a moment to think. ]

Though, I haven't really traveled across many countries. I think I've traveled as far as Ka Bue but nowhere farther than that. I've also been just in Vaugarde for a pretty lengthy while now so. If it's on the other side of the world..

[ It makes sense why he wouldn't have heard of them? ]

[dijun]

Curious. [ admittedly, it's not as if he's been across all of teyvat - it's been quite some time since he's left liyue, after all - but he at least knows many of the city names in the other nations. nevermind his own. ]

I don't believe such places exist in the world of Teyvat, and if you've not heard of the nations thereof then I imagine that this is another case of worlds overlapping into one, single, supposed afterlife.

[punnier]

Worlds?

[ Hmmm... the bottom half of their face tucks into their collar, contemplating for a moment. Quiet until he speaks again, slowly. ]

The.. Universe is vast, and with how many stars there are.. ones we can't even see from the naked eye looking up at the night sky.. if there's multiple worlds, it could make sense.

[ A hand raises to rub at their temple a little, wincing just a bit. Headachey. ]
