📌 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.

[STOP LYING TO HIM IN FRONT OF GOD'S SALAD, MISS.]

I insist. [He will go order a cup of fckin ice or SO HELP HIM!!!] But it's very nice to meet you, Charlie. My name is Lucas. I assume you've also recently died?

[productionhell]

If it's not too much trouble... thank you.

[ bruh she's not used to people giving a shit about her ]

It's a pleasure to meet you, Lucas, though I wish it was under better circumstances. And--- ah-- I believe so.

[faithkept]

Of course, it's no trouble at all.

[After getting his ice cup, he'll also grab some napkins to make a lil makeshift ice bag for her to put on her owie. A GIFT FOR THE PRINCESS OF HELL.]

Oh, it's a pleasure regardless, isn't it? [THE SUN IS SHINING THE CAFE FOOD IS. DECENT. It's a fine day to be dead.]

I'm terribly sorry to hear you've died, but at least you're here, yes?

[productionhell]

I really appreciate this, Lucas. Really. Thank you.

[ wah kindness... she will take her little icepack and hold it to her cheek when he hands it over ]

... Here? What do you mean?

[ does he think this is heaven? ]

[faithkept]

Oh, it's nothing, really. I do hope that it heals quickly...

[A LITTLE ICEPACK... HIS ONLY WAY TO HELP, DAMN. Bodies are so finicky even in death and for what.]

Ah. The afterlife...?

[The way he words this like a question but he feels relatively certain. IT'S NOT HADES SO IT CAN SURELY ONLY BE HEAVEN.]

[productionhell]

Me too.

[ because it does hurt. but anyway who cares about that ]

Well, I can see how you might think that. But it's a little complicated for me...

[faithkept]

[HE DOES. HE CARES!!!

Though he's also giving her a lil curious look.]

Complicated in what way? If you don't mind my asking, of course.

[productionhell]

Well, I'm not exactly.... mortal to begin with. And I have no idea why I'm here. I should be in Hell.

[ if this is truly some kind of afterlife ]

[faithkept]

Hell? [They do not have Hell in Arpechele, only Hades... But there's a little furrow of his brow at the rest of that. It was made clear pretty quickly that they broke containment out of France considering there are furries and old people here, but he's yet to run into anyone who's just straight up like I'M NOT MORTAL.]

Mm... This feels quite rude, but... May I ask what you are, if not mortal? Immortal...?

[productionhell]

Ah-- where people deemed as "sinners" end up, after death. [ could it be similar to hades? math lady gif ]

Essentially, yes. I was born and raised in Hell. I'm not a human.

[ if that wasn't obvious from her very obviously demonic appearance ]

[faithkept]

Ah... as I'm familiar with it, that would be Hades, so...

[THE SAME?? THE SAME??? DIFFERENT BUT THE SAME????]

...I wasn't aware that there were any existences born and raised in such a place, even so, so perhaps they're different after all. Demons are the only thing that exist within the confines of Hades, beyond the souls of sinners.

[productionhell]

Oh, yes, I think Hades is one of the names for Hell.

[ different but same!! ]

Well, a demon is essentially what I am, so... you know. [ weakly fingerguns at him ]

[faithkept]

[DON'T JUST WEAKLY FINGERGUNS AT HIM.]

...You are? [HELLO. Well. She does not look human and does in fact look a bit demonic so perhaps that checks BUT ALSO SHE'S SO NICE.]

Well. I do understand why you might be confused about ending up outside of Hades, in that case.

[productionhell]

Yes. Ah, but... don't be frightened!

[ holding up her fingergunning hands placatingly as if this will make her less scary ]

Absolutely. If this is meant to be Heaven, then I definitely do not belong here. But that's not to say that you don't, Lucas! You're very nice.

[faithkept]

It's quite hard to be frightened when you've been so very friendly, dear.

[EVEN WITH HER VERY DEMONIC FEATURES... There's also a faint lil laugh at that! She is so sweet, oh no.]

You're quite kind, yourself. Really... Perhaps there's been some sort of mistake, then? In all honesty, this isn't the Heaven I was expecting, and quite a few other people seem displaced as well.

[productionhell]

Oh, I'm so glad to hear that! I think most humans would be put off by my appearance... but if you aren't, maybe we can be friends.

[ wow ]

Yes, well.... Heaven isn't.... it's complicated. [ .... ] That being said, I think you're right. This situation doesn't seem right.

[faithkept]

I would love to be friends, dear. That sounds wonderful.

[YEAH! FRIENDSHIP!!!!!!

There's a little bit of a curious look as she talks about hashtag it's complicated Heaven, but he guesses a demon probably wouldn't?? Like Heaven?? Or something????]

I wish that I had anything that may help clear the situation up a bit, but unfortunately, we all appear to be equally in the dark.

[productionhell]

[ SCREAMS BC I LOST THIS NOTIF ]

[ yay friendship!!! ]

Then, friendship it is, Lucas! [ she offers out her hands if he would like to hold them.... just briefly. to affirm friendship ]

Yes, it seems that no one here knows what's really going on... and there's some kind of magic keeping us trapped here.

[faithkept]

[LOST TO THE VOID. But help this is so funny. AFFIRMING FRIENDSHIP. He will reach out to hold her lil paws in return! CEMENTING THE FRIENDSHIP PACT.]

You're not the first person who's mentioned the possibility of magic being involved... That strange fog, yes? The one that keeps getting everyone all turned around?
