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.

An actual army.

[ While he gets he doesn't need to prove anything, he just... Always feels like he has to. ]

Now put the sword away before you look more insane. You're inside an establishment.

[ like adolphe is wearing sunglasses indoors. You know what? Jacopo will throw a burger right at his face for drawing a sword at him. He has no other means of retaliating. ]

[ Adolphe slices that hamburger in half so it splits away. Goodbye, perfectly fine hamburger... It goes splat on the watery-like ground. ]

What's the point of all that if we're already dead?

[personal profile] obdure 2025-02-08 04:52 am (UTC)(link)
... What's the point of not looking insane?

[ Jacopo is giving him the look like HE'S A FREAK and just because Adolphe handled it so well, he throws another burger. ]

[personal profile] chrysanths 2025-02-08 07:55 pm (UTC)(link)
First of all, you're d--stop that!

[ He thrusts the blade into the burger and then flings it back at Jacopo. Die. ]

[personal profile] obdure 2025-02-08 08:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He whacks the flying burger aside. They are not rock hard or difficult to handle. At least he stops?















Remembers Adolphe pulled a sword on him and throws another burger, anyway.

[ That finally lands a hit on the face because Adolphe thought he was done, but no. In piling frustration, he takes a burger and throws it at Jacopo. Twice. At least he put his sword away... ]

[personal profile] obdure 2025-02-08 09:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He smacks away the first but gets hit by the second.

Leering, but it's like... Not full of contempt. Just a lot of annoyance.
]

Satisfied after lashing out?

[personal profile] chrysanths 2025-02-08 09:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He's equally as annoyed, especially after that question. Bro. ]

Are you?
obdure: (pic#17647799)

[personal profile] obdure 2025-02-08 11:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Must I remind you that you stepped on my head and then pulled a sword on me?

[ Honestly, these burgers are not enough. ]
chrysanths: (pic#17675366)

[personal profile] chrysanths 2025-02-08 11:36 pm (UTC)(link)
I didn't know what to expect, especially when something grabbed me by the ankle?!

[ He stepped on his head? Good. He's not saying that though. ]

[personal profile] obdure 2025-02-08 11:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, so you'd cut before checking. If I were a child, that would be quite a scene, wouldn't it? Severed hand on the floor, blood everywhere. I guess there would be crying.

[ ... All the hot air deflates, though, almost as quick as it inflated. ]

If that's how it still works in the afterlife, that is.
chrysanths: (pic#17675233)

[personal profile] chrysanths 2025-02-08 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh-huh. I'm sure a child would have your grip strength.

[ bitch.

never mind how it works in the afterlife, he just doesn't want jacopo to win now. win at what? don't ask,

[ ................. ]

I graciously dropped it and you're here biting at my ankles. What is wrong with you?

[ HE WAS NICE... BY HIS STANDARDS ]

[personal profile] chrysanths 2025-02-09 12:07 am (UTC)(link)
[ Jacopo truly was nice by his standards. Adolphe just scowls and walks away while muttering what's wrong with everyone here. He feels like he's going insane. ]
