📌 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]

Are you sure? I wouldn't want to take your gift away from you or anything.

[ it's so cute why doesn't he want it... ]

[ziosar]

Then borrow it. You can give it back if I ask for it.

[Which he doesn't intend to do, but oh well]

[productionhell]

I do have my own, you know... don't feel obligated, mister.

[ fucking calling a teenager mister ]

[ziosar]

Mister...?

[He hasn't gotten called mister by anyone but, like, elementary school kids. This woman sure isn't anywhere close to elementary school age. That's why being called mister seems to surprise Akihiko, enough he's not sure how to react]

You don't...have to be so polite?

[productionhell]

You started it, by offering me your gift.

[ smiling warmly ]

But I don't know your name.

[ziosar]

Sanada. Nice to meet you. Sorry if I don't drop the politeness -- I can't do that.

[He's a good boy, after all! It's pretty much second nature to be polite]

[productionhell]

You too, Sanada--- do you mind if I call you San?

[ nicknames.... ]

Oh, please try not to be polite. Just Charlie is fine.

[ziosar]

I guess you can? How unusual...

[San-san. Well, sure! Probably without honorifics because she really doesn't seem like the kind to use them, so he's going to have to really pay attention to notice if she addresses him later. San, huh...]

Charlie. Alright. Char? Lee?

[....]

I'm overdoing it.

[Was told to be less polite, and sure skipped a few steps, it seems. Full name Charlie, it'll have to be]

[productionhell]

[ she laughs a little! good job akihiko ]

If it's too strange, don't worry about it. Sanada works just fine.

Same with Charlie, Char, or Lee! I'll answer to any of them.

[ziosar]

It'll probably be the first one. I'm not used to giving nicknames.

[Unless you're a childhood friend of his, ahahaha]

[productionhell]

That's alright, nicknames aren't for everyone.

So, Sanada.... tell me about yourself. What do you do for fun?

[ziosar]

Boxing. [Such an immediate answer!] Training. Cooking...

[...and also battling Shadows, but that's not a hobby he can talk about]

[productionhell]

Oh, those are very varied hobbies! That's incredible.

[ boxing, training, cooking ]

What sort of training do you do?

[ziosar]

Stamina. You need a lot of that to overpower your opponent! I'd get nowhere if I were to get tired just minutes after getting on the ring.

[So proud of that effort!]

[productionhell]

So, tell me Sanada.... what kind of exercises do you do for your stamina? As a professional boxer and trainer.

[ chinhandsing and just happily listening to him talk about sports ]

[ziosar]

[And talk about sports he does. Akihiko is so into it, gosh, you wouldn't believe]

...jogging builds your ability to endure, but that's only because pools aren't readily available. Were there some...

[Chatter and chatter and chatter. Charlie why are you letting this happen]

[productionhell]

[ she is really just listening to all of this with rapt, enthusiastic attention as he talks ]

[ is she leveling up his social link? ]

[ziosar]

[I am thou, thou am I, yes you did.

Fortunately, once Akihiko has chained a whole diatribe of good training routines, he stops]

...that took a while. Sorry for keeping you here for that long, Charlie.

[But Akihiko seems pretty satisfied, like he did something very productive today]

[productionhell]

[ she legit would be taking notes if she had paper ]

Oh, not at all! I learned so much. Thank you, Sanada.

[ me just realizing if he was last name basis with her he'd have to call her Morningstar ]

[ziosar]

[Hahaha, hey, with her insistence on him not being too polite, he'd be fine with calling her by the first name. It works out!]

Learning is fine as long as you put it into practice. Strong minds are nothing if they're not in strong bodies.

Not that I think you'll have much trouble. You don't seem unhealthy.

[Except for, you know, being dead, but who here isn't, really]

[productionhell]

[ that requires him to actually share his first name ]

[ also she is a beanpole.... ]

I bet you and Vaggie would get along great.

[ a bright smile ]

But thank you so much! I will be sure to give it a try.
