📌 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.

[boxcar]

[ Watches him get beaned. ]

It feels aggressive.

If you're not going to eat maybe we should wait outside?

[obdure]

[ The burger slowly slips on his face... But then he aggressively grabs it in turn and throws it onto the floor. ]

I was hoping this place had some spirits.

[ but you know what yeah he wants to leave ]

[boxcar]

I think drinking is a sin in some books?

[ Maybe? ]

Although I'm not sure whose afterlife this is supposed to be...

[obdure]

They drink wine at church, don't they? Holy and blessed.

[ He doesn't give a shit about the bible. They can be back out on the water floor and clouds everywhere. ]

... Frankly, I didn't believe in an afterlife.

[boxcar]

Yeah, but that's different from drinking too much. Not that I'm going to stop anybody. I think a lot of people are stressed.

[ He looks around the scenery. ]

I wasn't sure if I should either. But I'm here. Wherever this is.

[obdure]

[ Quietly, more to himself or to no one at all. ]

... Is this hell?

[boxcar]

... I don't know.

[ Answers anyway. ]

It doesn't look like what I thought it'd be.

[obdure]

What're you picturing?

[ Crossing his arms, he looks down to the reflective floor. It's just... Clouds. Everywhere. ]

A big man with open arms whom we're meant to call "Father?" Angels around to sing choruses... Saints and saintesses welcoming us. [ ... ] Or fiery pits with the Devil.

[boxcar]

...A lot more burning, maybe.

[ For starters. ]

Just not so blue and bright. It feels like we're high up in the clouds.

I hope nobody is... the, afraid of heights.

[obdure]

Imagine dying and still having fears after.

[ Tapping the ground, the water and the reflection ripples. ]

They'll get used to it. No choice in this matter.

[boxcar]

It's not bad to have fears. What matters is being able to stand up against those fears.

If they need a little help though I won't say no.

[obdure]

[ ??? Incredulous. ]

And if they were to come to you... What would you do?

[boxcar]

I don't know. Whatever helps them feel better.

Sometimes that's just talking or holding their hand through stuff.

[obdure]

[ Wow. He kind of has a defeated look because this is just really good guy talk. ]

That won't help them overcome their fears, but... [ He shrugs. ] If it helps. You only can rent out two hands, as a reminder.

[boxcar]

I can't solve other's fears for them, but if it helps them face it, then I'll lend it.

[ He makes lil fists. ]

I can get a lot done with two hands.

[obdure]

[ aren't you a big man aren't these big fists?

Closes his eyes like he's going to have an aneurysm. ]

No fists for now.

[boxcar]

[ They're little in spirit. For now. ]

I'm not going to punch anything that doesn't need it.

[obdure]

[ Unclench, Marcoh. ]

Relax your hands.

[ Actually, he'll just say it. No fists. For now. ]

[boxcar]

[ Unclenches... ]

[obdure]

[ It's good to know Marcoh listens well. ]

Now no one can accuse you of ruining property.

[ It's a joke/unserious. ]

[boxcar]

I try not to. I will break down a door if something might be behind it though.

[ The doors that are too strong if he can't bust them down in one turn. ]

[obdure]

You seem so sure there will be doors.

[ Granted Jacopo didn't have any imagination for the afterlife. ]

[boxcar]

Is it weird to expect doors?

[ He glances back at the cafe... ]

[obdure]

[ Also glances... The burgers are are piling. ]

I suppose not for this afterlife. [ There's a small frown because he caused that, but eh. ] Did you receive an informational pamphlet from your gift box?

[boxcar]

[ You did that. Anyway why is your afterlife so doorless? The way my phone corrected that to footless. ]

No. Did you? A few people have been asking.
