📌 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.

[productionhell]

Well, it can't hurt to keep them together. Maybe when they hatch they can be friends.

[ gently pushes e g g towards firefly's egg ]

I'm Charlie, by the way.

[fightolive]

[Egg nest! She'll wrap them into the scarves together.]

It would be nice to be born with a friend.

I'm Samuel.

[productionhell]

Right? What's better than welcoming the world with people you can count on!

[ holding a hand to shake ]

It's a pleasure to meet you, Samuel--- can I call you Sam?

[fightolive]

[She takes the offered hand! A firm shake. ]

Oh. I'm not used to people calling me that.

[productionhell]

[ charlie's shake is warm, too ]

Oh-- well, I don't want to make you uncomfortable or anything. If you prefer Samuel, that's perfectly fine.

[fightolive]

[ A little smile of relief. ]

Thank you, Charlie. I appreciate it.

[productionhell]

Not a problem, Samuel.

Do you mind if I ask you a personal question? It could be a little... uncomfortable...

[fightolive]

If it's really uncomfortable, is it okay if I don't answer?

[productionhell]

Of course!

... I was just wanting to know... what happened before you came here. If it's uncomfortable, please don't feel obligated to answer.

[fightolive]

... It was a normal day for me. I was with my companions, but none of them are here.

[productionhell]

I see.... you don't remember anything strange happening? Just having a normal day with your friends?

[ fwiendship... ]

[fightolive]

We do all sorts of things, so nothing about that day was strange.

[productionhell]

I see....

[ well, it's probably better that they're not here considering samuel is supposedly dead, but charlie is not going to say that ]

Thank you for answering.

[fightolive]

What do you remember? You don't have to answer either.

[productionhell]

Well, I.... I was being murdered, essentially.

[ awkward ]

[fightolive]

I-I'm so sorry.

[productionhell]

Oh--- don't worry about it. We can change the subject if you want.

[fightolive]

O-okay. Um... what kind of things do you like to do? Do you like movies?

[productionhell]

Oh, I love movies! Movies about animals are my favorite, but I love all sorts of movies. I love singing, and dancing, and spending time with my girlfriend!

How about you, Samuel?

[fightolive]

I like movies too, there are so many different kinds of lives. Other things I like? Walking around outside, being able to breathe fresh air and touch plants.

[productionhell]

Oh, oh! What kind of plants are your favorite?

[ charlie is so invested in firefly's interests ]

[fightolive]

I like flowers, trees. Anything that can sprout leaves, grass is also really nice to the touch.

[All plants are good for textural reasons.]

[productionhell]

Oh... I wish we had more flowers and trees in hell. I'd love to walk through a garden with all of those plants.

[fightolive]

Maybe if we're lucky, we'll be able to see all sorts of plants here?

[When they can see anything.]

[productionhell]

That would be really nice.

What other things do you like, Samuel? Do you like singing?
