📌 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.

i!

[faithkept]

[SLEEBY LIL GUY!! Lucas pauses in his approach, though his expression quickly shifts from surprise to mild relief.]

Ah - greetings to you, too. I had worried a bit, seeing you over here like that... You're just resting?

[As opposed to BEING UNCONSCIOUS? ILL? IN NEED OF MEDICAL ATTENTION??]

[lightning]

[ he looks a little surprised, but smiles gratefully. ]

That's very kind of you. All is well, save for... an interesting choice of wardrobe.

[ (also the part where they're hella dead.) his smile turns a bit lopsided. WHO PUT THEM IN THESE SEXY ANGEL COSTUMES!! ]

But yes, merely resting my eyes, and gathering my thoughts.

[ he regards lucas curiously, ] What do you make of all this?

[faithkept]

I know... It's quite unfortunate, isn't it?

[WHO STOLE HIS CLOTHES RIGHT OFF HIS DAMN BODY.]

If you haven't looked inside that box you should have received yet, you ought to have some sort of extra fabric in there... [Unless he got a hat or mittens or something, in which case he is just SOL.

Good question, though! His head cants to the side.]

We're surely in the afterlife, are we not?

[lightning]

[ MITTENS WOULD BE SO FUNNY WITH THIS SEXY GETUP but my brain just defaulted to red scarf, which he holds up for lucas to see. ]

I'm afraid this has little more to offer by means of coverage, however it will serve to keep my neck warm. Should the temperature drop, heavens [ ha ] forbid.

[ it's perfect weather... and sunny... ]

Do you think these gifts are an omen of what to come? I cannot say I'm well-acquainted with the afterlife.

[ spoken jokingly, but also, yeah! ]

[faithkept]

[HIS RED SCARF... types red scary first, that too i suppose.

Not this joke though, help. He also huffs out a lil laugh, glancing up toward the perfectly sunny and clear sky, even though everywhere is the perfectly sunny and clear sky.]

I should hope not! I can't say I'm an expert in the afterlife, myself, but the very least we can be afforded is pleasant weather, don't you think?

[If they're in... Heaven........ He's still on the fence about that... They're not in Hades but what the Hades is THIS PLACE.]

[lightning]

[ RED SCARY...

also sweet lucas laughing at his LAME JOKES!!! noooooOOOO ]

Mhm, I'd much rather bask in the sun than rain. [ or snow, etc. ] There is little to object to, as far as the weather goes.

[ it's not terrible scenery either... just a little monotonous. will they experience evenings here? only time will tell... ]

And what sort of spare clothing [ maybe too generous a term ] did you receive?

[faithkept]

[RED SCARY!!!!!! Anyway he appreciates a good dad joke level bit of humor on occasion so this suits him fine.]

I haven't met a single soul who basks in the rain, though I'm certain they're out there... [If furries can exist... anything can exist........]

Ah, but I received a hat. A very kind gesture, but one that's ultimately a bit useless to me... My head is always quite warm.

[Because his hair is so fucking much.]

[lightning]

[ how will we be enemies in these conditions... 😔 ]

Not a single, self-flagellating individual in your life? For the best, I must say.

[ he can think of more than one person who would stand melodramatically in the rain... anyway it is jing yuan's turn to laugh at lucas' joke. HOW WILL WE- ]

I see. Though I can't say I have particular need of a hat myself [ he also has so much fukken hair, adds him to prime balding target list ], I wouldn't be adverse to an exchange.

[faithkept]

[OUR UST OMO!!!!!!

This is terrible there's no ust here at all, just two lil dudes with too much hair who will one day be balded, gabbin away...]

Ah, well, that may not be the case... [Said with some fondness, even so.]

But are you certain you'd like to trade if you have no real use for it?

[lightning]

[ MEOWNOOOOO

also me personally squinting at lucas after scawwy, I KNOW THE TRUTH! I KNOW WHAT U ARE. (Catholic Guilt) ]

To be fair, I don't know that you have much need of a scarf, either. But you may think of it as repaying your earlier kindness, if you'd like.

[ his smile suggests he's not really being that serious about all this, a trade that will not really benefit either of them, (but would be fun?) ]

[faithkept]

[MEOWNOOOOOOOO also stop that listen here. It's fine.

This is fine though, he is down for a useless and silly little trade just for fun that won't benefit either of them, but is still a good way to BOND with his fellow DEAD PEOPLE.]

You needn't repay it, considering what a small gesture it was, but I don't mind the trade.

[He will dig into his lil box to pull out his crocheted bonnet... FOR HIS NEW FWEND.....]

[lightning]

[ A WEE BONNET! what color is it...

jing yuan accepts graciously, passing back his scarf (neatly folded) in return. ]

And shall we exchange names as well? I am Jing Yuan.

[faithkept]

[A WEE BONNET. It's a very nice like teal-ish leaning green... He will take the scarf carefully! Gift.]

Ah, please excuse my manners. My name is Lucas; it's lovely to meet you.

[ANOTHER NAME HE CAN'T PRONOUNCE EASILY. His own is pronounced Frenchly.]
