📌 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.

[darkholder]

wake up

[there's a young woman among the crowd whose angel costume is definitely the most notable thing about her appearance. well, apart from the fact that instead of blue and translucent, her veins are a kind of inky black that's visible under her skin, and what would normally be the whites of her eyes match that dark shade around her brown irises. in addition, the wound is healed, but it looks like she's missing the pinky finger on her right hand.

none of this is stopping her from immediately taking the crocheted scarf she finds in her basket to try and make this a little bit more modest. she'll pause, though, to ask the first person she glances at:]

Do you have the... pamphlet in yours? Let me see it.

fast food

[staring at the menu in the cafe. her poker face is good enough that she probably doesn't seem visibly confused, but she sure is looking for a long time at the order screen... what's a burger. also, what's a tablet. rip in ye olde fantasy. she taps something at random and only flinches for a half second in surprise when it appears.]

...Fascinating.

wake up

[fightolive]

No, they forgot to put it in mine.

[ She's already rummaged through it. ]

[darkholder]

[purses her lips, but accepts that readily enough]

Who do you imagine "they" are?

wake up

[boxcar]

[ He sees this lady try to make herself modest with the little crochet and he just looks away immediately until he's asked a question. ]

Uh... pamphlet...?

[darkholder]

[bless him]

Yes. They said there's a pamphlet with information in here.

[there's a little bit of hesitance, like she isn't exactly sure what a pamphlet is when she says that, but she doesn't linger before pulling out the cell phone and giving it a look.]

Unless it's this...?

[noirges]

[ yves is rummaging through his basket, looking up when she speaks to him, and then attempting to try looking through the basket!! even harder!!!!

he looks back up at her, tilting his head ]

Hmm... I don't think so...

Do you think they forgot? [ but as he looks briefly toward the scarf around her shoulders, he asks: ] Are you cold? Should we get something warm to drink?

[darkholder]

I'm fine.

[quickly, before she moves on]

I think the likelihood of whether they just forgot depends on how many people are missing it... But I suppose we can worry about that later.

fast food

[ziosar]

Is it? [Akihiko doesn't have any compunctions at taking a closer look at what just appeared. Magically appearing food doesn't shock him much...but that's only because right now that's one of the least startling things about everything going on] It looks like any random burger to me.

[darkholder]

[she shakes her head]

I meant... I don't see a cook, do you?

fast food

[productionhell]

[ she is approached by a woman in this outfit as she's being attacked by technology ]

[ since it's random, neverah gets.... an extremely soggy "pizza poutine". it looks... uh. well. ]

Oh, that looks... er... [ trying to be polite ] interesting! Do you like this sort of food?

[darkholder]

No.

[fairly immediate, as she gives the food a Look. anyways.]

Take it if you like.

wake up

[kumeyuri]

[wordlessly holds out his scarf too if she wants more to cover up with]

Sorry, I didn't find one in mine either.

[darkholder]

[takes it and amasses it into her growing scarf army]

Well. That's good to know, at the very least.

wake up

[foreverphantom]

[ stops his rampage of tearing apart the squishmallow to glare at her

then he throws the empty box at her ]

[darkholder]

[catches it with little effort and doesn't acknowledge him beyond that]

wake up

[sacredpath]

[well. she will try not to stare too hard at either the injuries or the fact that this girl is trying to cover up with a scarf.]

No... pamphlet, I'm afraid. Did they forget for everyone? But they remembered about the toys?

[darkholder]

[if she notices any staring or any attempt not to stare, she doesn't seem bothered or comment on it, at least. dryly:]

Well, at least they know what's important. Whoever they are.

foob

[faithkept]

[PIPING UP from where he's hanging out with his accidental mountain of drinks...]

Isn't it just? Ah, but do be careful. It's quite sensitive.

[DON'T BE HIM. DON'T TAP RECKLESSLY.]

fast food

[florescences]

[ elysia claps. ]

Isn't it nice to have? Is it to your tastes?

wake up

[purities]

No.

[tersely. squinting at her, like, ma'am what the fuck is up with you. inclines his head toward what's left of the gift box.]

All I have is more trash.

wake up

[punnier]

[ At the inquiry, they shake their head, one black crocheted mitten hand fanning out to show no pamphlet in hand. Just an egg in their other hand that's being cradled close to themselves. ]

Didn't see one. [ (...) ] ..Are you okay?

[ Those.. "healed" injuries..?? ]

fast food

[smokeandglasses]

[Boy that food sure is fast.]

I wouldn't eat it if I were you.

fast food

[midway]

[ They're wearing the same dress... Awkward.

Politely waits to see if she will eat her food. ]

wake up

[gutterbound]

Definitely no— Jesus, girl!

[Sorry?? your veins??? Your wounds? He's only got a bandage circling his head and a bit of blotting blood at the temple. Practically a cake-walk next to this.]

What happened to you?

food

[clockpunk]

Do you need help orderin' something else?

[ he approaches, hands in his pockets. he's just assuming she's rich and doesn't know how peasant food operates. ]
