📌 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.

[ hello scrawny person, meet scrawny person! taair realizes he's being addressed from where h's pondering his egg orb, and his whole expression warms immediately. he sets his free hand to his chest and briefly bows his head in greeting, delighted. ]

Why, hello, Siffrin. I'm... my name would be Taair. [ with a smile: ] And now that we're introduced, we're hardly strangers, are we? It's a pleasure to meet you.

[punnier]

[ Ah, the polite brief bow has them dipping their head just a little in response, a bit awkwardly like they aren't used to such introductions in that manner. ]

Mm, nice to meet you, Taair. [ Thinking of the whole situation though... they still offer a smile. ] Despite the situation and all, right?

[historicals]

[ eats them. me sisi

there's a sheepish laugh. ] I take it things weren't going particularly well for you before you awoke here, either...?

[punnier]

[ (...) ]

It was going well enough from what I remember. [ Siffrin replies easily, seeming unbothered. ] But waking up here was pretty.. disorientating, right?

[historicals]

Yes, though... not terribly unexpected.

[ he reaches up to rub at his chest, absently - then shakes his head, as if clearing the thought away. ] But that's no matter - it is always a pleasure to make the company of a new friend, no matter the situation. Difficult as it could be, at least, it seems, there are many of us in the same state of confusion, yes?

[punnier]

[ Siffrin's eye glances over to that gesture, quiet, nodding along for emphasis to show they're still listening. Even if they don't readily respond right away, contemplating. ]

... [ Oh, he almost forgot to actually reply. ] It seems that way, from the few people I've ran into already... the similar story of just waking up here and.. other things.

[historicals]

So it does.

[ man. :man_standing:

he doesn't seem to mind the contemplative quiet - and in fact, when they do speak up again, his expression softens into a smile. ]

Still - to be able to make a new friend after such events. That's quite lucky, isn't it?

[punnier]

[ Oh that's good then because Siffrin is relatively known for being quite quiet. And it's easy to see that. Though they blink slowly, head tilting. ]

New friend? [ ..Oh! Duh, clearly this man is talking about his own experience with other people, right? They look outwards, where there's probably some people roaming about still. ] There are a lot of friendly people here yeah.

[ #Oblivious. ]
