📌 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.

[ this makes him smile, a little? the approval is quiet but there. ]

An excellent part to play, I think.

[ but he will... perceive The Nuggie. the way that it's explained to him does appeal to him, frankly, because that's the kind of foodie that he is. ]

Then I wouldn't mind terribly trying that, along with whatever sauces you might recommend sampling. A fine order to make.

[ I WILL HAVE ORDER ]

[noirges]

You got it! We can sample them together and anything you don't finish, I'll try my best to eat so we don't waste food.

[ GRANDPA ALWAYS SAID TO EAT WHENEVER YOU GET THE CHANCE!!! so yves will just go to set up this hilarious lil nuggie and sauce sampler situation for liyue's local god ]

Bon appétit!

[dijun]

[ grandpa's got it right!!! i'm so afraid given what you said in chat dana.

but he will observe this process with interest, carefully propping the vortex vanquisher against the side of the counter with his egge box. ]

My thanks - and my apologies, as well, as I've forgotten my manners, especially after you've gone through the effort of offering help and arranging this food. My name is Zhongli.

[noirges]

[ there is a fat fucking pufferfish in a bowl already on the counter and it goes a little O_O at vortex vanquisher but it's fine

anyway everybody eats! :) do not be afraid

yves laughs a little bit at that, smiling ]

I'm Yves. Don't worry about it at all. I think friendships are born faster when a few manners are forgotten.

[ DO NOT LET ETIQUETTE GET IN THE WAY OF BONDING ]

[dijun]

[ god i'm afraid

anyways he just kind of looks at the pufferfish like SURE WHY NOT because it is not! the weirdest thing he's ever seen on a dining counter. not by a long shot.

the nuggies are much weirder, actually, but nuggie bonding means he will pick one up and choose a sauce at random to try it out in. ]

A few, perhaps, but I would be remiss to forget them completely. [ with a light chuckle, before he takes a momf. ]

[noirges]

[ :) pufferfish

but yves is going to do the same! yes... nuggie bonding.... ]

Haha, if you insist. Are you a nobleman by chance, Zhongli?

[dijun]

Oh, hardly so. Perhaps it would be better to say that I'm more set in the old ways, at least in some regards - I rather enjoy experiencing new ways of seeing the world after all.

[ he's trying to decide how he feels about the nug... ]

This does have an interesting texture to it, but the taste is good.

[noirges]

Right? I've never had anything like it before!

Haha, I understand what you mean exactly, Zhongli—there's a lot in the world I haven't experienced yet, so I'm glad I'm getting a chance to even now.

[ even in death! ]

[dijun]

I wonder what it's fried in, and how they prepare it...

[ food (haha) for thought? but he'll pick up another nug to dip into another sauce curiously as they talk. ]

Likewise. I believe that, while I have seen a great many things, there will always be something new or different to encounter.

[noirges]

[ ohhh? leans in curiously ]

What are some of the greatest things you've seen? Do you have any grand tales to share?

[ tell him a story peepaw ]
