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.

Ah, you don't either... something seems like some sort of accessory?

[ they will go to their box and dig through it, pulling out a crocheted beret. ]

Like this.
boxcar: (pic#16999410)

[personal profile] boxcar 2025-02-08 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
I think it's a hat.

[ He THINKS. ]

Well. That's nice.

[ Their clothes are... it's something. ]
rippled: (pic#17514223)

[personal profile] rippled 2025-02-08 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
[ they go to put it on, and their hand passes through their halo. it makes them pause. ]

Oh, right. I forgot about that thing.
boxcar: (pic#17642755)

[personal profile] boxcar 2025-02-08 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
It's a little hard to forget.

[ He can only say that because he's constantly looking at other people's. His own halo is a different problem. ]

What is it?
rippled: (pic#17514539)

[personal profile] rippled 2025-02-08 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
I have no idea. From the reflection of mine, it looks like the moon... but the one over your head looks nothing like that.

[ plus, everyone else's are also different. hmm. ]
boxcar: (pic#16999410)

[personal profile] boxcar 2025-02-08 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
Mine looks kind of dark. It's hard to see.

Yours is pretty.
rippled: (Default)

[personal profile] rippled 2025-02-08 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you. Although it is not difficult for the moon to look nice.

[ they squint up at theirs.



the height difference is kind of crazy here so this is hard. ]

[personal profile] boxcar 2025-02-08 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
[ Thinks about TERMINA and IMMENSELY disagrees but doesn't say this to be nice. ]

...

[ How's the weather down there? ]
rippled: (pic#17514204)

[personal profile] rippled 2025-02-08 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
[ pretty nice. cloudy with a chance of stacked tits. ]

...

I cannot see yours very well.
boxcar: (pic#17642759)

[personal profile] boxcar 2025-02-08 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
Oh.

...

[ Bends down... so they can take a closer look into the void apparently. ]
rippled: (pic#17514219)

[personal profile] rippled 2025-02-08 08:49 am (UTC)(link)
[ thank you. they stare. ]

I cannot tell what yours is meant to be. It looks a little ominous.
boxcar: (pic#17642735)

[personal profile] boxcar 2025-02-08 08:52 am (UTC)(link)
Is it supposed to be something?

[ Well everyone else's seems to be something quite pretty. He's seen a lot of flowers and stars and points in particular. He's not sure what that means for himself. ]
rippled: (pic#17514012)

[personal profile] rippled 2025-02-08 08:56 am (UTC)(link)
Perhaps not in the literal sense...

Well, what they represent may not be as important as what they actually are. Why do we all have one?
boxcar: (pic#16999410)

[personal profile] boxcar 2025-02-08 08:58 am (UTC)(link)
I think they're halos, or they look like it.

They're pretty important in describing things about the afterlife. At least in our church.
rippled: (pic#17510880)

[personal profile] rippled 2025-02-08 09:03 am (UTC)(link)
Oh! What church is that?

[ perhaps this is someone with... deets? ]
boxcar: (pic#17642755)

[personal profile] boxcar 2025-02-08 09:14 am (UTC)(link)
The Church of Alll-mer.

I don't think I've met anyone who actually knows what I'm talking about though which is... I don't think everyone is religious but I thought it was the biggest church in Europa.
rippled: (pic#17673472)

[personal profile] rippled 2025-02-08 09:15 am (UTC)(link)
[ they stare blankly at 'europa' ]
boxcar: (pic#17642723)

[personal profile] boxcar 2025-02-08 09:20 am (UTC)(link)
Big cross? He's also famous for the resurrection and ascension...

[ Thinks the confusion is about Alll-mer. ]
rippled: (pic#17511582)

[personal profile] rippled 2025-02-08 09:23 am (UTC)(link)
I... do not know him.

[ the way they mention christianity in fsr but it's extremely vaguely and not about jesus. ]

boxcar: (pic#16999417)

[personal profile] boxcar 2025-02-08 09:30 am (UTC)(link)
[ You know they want to just put in Jesus Christ into fate/ so bad. ]

That's okay. I'm not sure it really matters to anyone but me here.

[ He does seem slightly bothered by that but not like intensely. ]
rippled: (pic#17514686)

[personal profile] rippled 2025-02-08 09:34 am (UTC)(link)
I do think it helps but matters more in perspective though. You are not the first person to say that I don't know something that is common knowledge where they are from, so it does imply we are not from the same place.

[ this would be much easier to tell if they were all in their regular clothing instead of SEXY ANGELS. ]
boxcar: (pic#17642724)

[personal profile] boxcar 2025-02-08 09:45 am (UTC)(link)
That's true but I'm not sure what it means.

Is it some kind of punishment to be alone in a place like this?
rippled: (pic#17514539)

[personal profile] rippled 2025-02-08 01:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Hm...

Do you feel like you're being punished?
boxcar: (pic#17642762)

[personal profile] boxcar 2025-02-08 01:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Stands here with his fucking void halo that feels vaguely like a shame sign of some kind with how nice everyone else's is and also in a gold toga sexy angel costume like. ]

I don't know.

[ Speaking of, straightens up. ]

Do you think you'd go to Heaven?
rippled: (pic#17514213)

[personal profile] rippled 2025-02-08 01:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Heaven...?

[ they go quiet. ]

What are the criteria for getting in?
