📌 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.

[fried]

A pleasure.

[ a head tilt. ]

Do you expect a fight in your immediate future, Mister Marcoh?

[boxcar]

I think you should always be prepared for one.

Better to be at the ready than be blindsided.

[fried]

[ his ear flicks at that. ]

A wise sentiment. [ ... ] Do you only fight for yourself?

[boxcar]

I fight for what I need to.

[ He's actually just not that sure what this question means but hopefully this is somewhat of a sufficient answer. ]

I'll fight for you if you need help.

[fried]

[ a smile! well, he's already smiling, but it's more genuine now. ]

I'm afraid I have no combat experience whatsoever, so it'd be appreciated. [ a little tail wag. ] Though if we really are dead, I wonder what possible consequences there could be for violence.

[boxcar]

That's fine.

[ He can take care of that. ]

What could be a possible bigger consequence of punching your way out of things if you're already dead?

[fried]

[ the way this resonates with like half my roster jfc ]

Hah! That's a dangerous path to tread. Do you always only use your fists, or is your head involved in any step of the process?

[boxcar]

I use my head where I need to but I'm better with my fists.

[ He's pretty frank about it. ]

That's how it's worked where I grew up.

[fried]

[ a little hum. ]

Well, that means you have experience. I'll defer to you in matters of martial prowess.

[boxcar]

Sure. I don't mind handling all of that.

What do you do?

[fried]

I'm a healer, with my own long life of experience. Of course, that's over now, but I still remember.

Quite the pair we make, hm?

[boxcar]

So like a doctor?

Having the knwlledhe is good. Better to be with than without like they say.

[fried]

[ i'll be nice to you because of the snow and trains but i did laugh at knwlledhe ]

Yes, like a doctor. I dedicated my life to it, and I imagine I will be dedicating my afterlife to it, as well.

[ with all these fuckers trying to break things ]

[boxcar]

[ ME TRYING TO WEAVE THROUGH A LOT OF PEOPLE this slipped the vine... makes a fist... ]

Do you think something will happen that needs that?

[ He punched three people on main. ]

[fried]

I did see a few people surprise you, earlier. I also have been hit by two of those toy sticks in the last hour.

[ i'm being ic by making every person in this game hit jiaoqiu ]

[boxcar]

[ Oh. He does look like he feels a bit bad having that brought up. ]

Maybe the weird cafe that keeps making food can also make ice.

But it's not that serious right? No broken bones.

[fried]

[ at least he didn't say i watched you punch like three people ]

No broken bones. [ he pushes his hair up a bit. under his bangs is a bruise, but it's not that bad. ] Only a bruise and loss of some dignity.

Or at least I assume there's a bruise. I can't exactly see my own face.

[boxcar]

You are bruised.

[ He raises a hand as if to touch Jiaoqiu and then thinks better of it, dropping his hand. ]

Do you want to go get ice?

[fried]

[ he doesn't move away or anything when marcoh raises a hand, for whatever reason. his ear flicks. ]

It doesn't hurt any worse than these. [ gestures at his bandages. ] I'll be fine.

[boxcar]

But it not hurting worse doesn't mean it doesn't hurt right?

Shouldn't a doctor recommend it?

[fried]

I know my limits very well, as a doctor.

[ he doesn't deserve an ice (no) ]

If you insist, I suppose.

[boxcar]

I can't force you but I don't know what else we're doing anyway. An iced drink sounds nice.

[ That being said... looking at the tablet screen that has gone through some serious shit today. ]

Do you know how to use this thing?

[fried]

[ it really had its own character arc just like the bathroom ]

I can figure it out. It's not unlike devices we had on the Yaoqing. [ tappy taps the screen. slowly. he's squinting at it. ]

Did you not have anything like this?

[boxcar]

No. If I want something from a store I talk to someone.

[ He's watching Jiaoqiu work this thing like a master. An old master. ]

So you touch a picture of what you want?

[fried]

[ he really should be better at this considering he has a whole ass cell phone at home, but here he is. squinting at it like it holds many mysteries. ]

Correct. And then it serves you mediocre food.
