📌 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.

[ziosar]

No, thanks. I haven't been able to get rid of mine yet.

[Akihiko isn't big on whimsy either]

[ugghh]

...Understandable, I suppose.

[ at least you have sense akihiko. ]

[ziosar]

I really don't get how they remembered to add toys and forgot the pamphlet.

[Akihiko has sense, unlike the people who crammed these welcome kits]

[ugghh]

A practical joke, perhaps. Though I can't say I find it amusing...

[ziosar]

Is that why we're all dressed with this, too?

[Are we all being pranked]

[ugghh]

It'd be a lot of effort for a lowbrow joke. Then again, there are people out there who'd go to those lengths for a payoff that only makes sense to them.

[ziosar]

That better not be it! We all have gone through enough trouble just to have to endure some childish prank!

[You know, being dead and all]

[ugghh]

[ yeah that kinda sucks don't it ]

We can't say for sure whether it is or isn't. We've only just arrived. Although, given the preparation involved, I imagine it'd be more than one person responsible. And they'd have to be nearby, or else what is the point in doing any of this?

[ziosar]

Are we being watched right now?

[yes

by the mods

and they probably are having a grand time]

[ugghh]

[ glances around. hm. ]

It's possible. However, panicking won't help our situation either.

[ziosar]

[Akihiko seems pretty frustrated. If they're being watched then could they stop watching and come give some answers already, please]

The longer it takes for them to come the more things I think I want to ask them.

[ugghh]

That's assuming they're willing to answer any questions.

[ziosar]

It's the least they could do! I don't care if they don't help us as long as they tell a thing or two. Just the bare minimum is fine.

[They need to do that much, at least!]

[ugghh]

You seem to have high expectations for someone, or a group of someones, who couldn't even be bothered to give us informational pamphlets.

[ziosar]

Am I being too naive? They seem more...incompetent than trying to make us feel cornered.

[The missing pamphlet thing...honestly he chalked that up to them being really absent-minded, instead of malicious]

[ugghh]

I think it's best to not assume too much about their intentions until there's more information available.

It isn't looking like a very good situation, though.

[ being dead aside. ]

[ziosar]

It's far from ideal, but it doesn't seem all that bad yet. Just annoying.

[Except when you're, like, getting a sword pointed at you, and that kind of stuff, but oh well]

[ugghh]

[ lol lmao ]

Just keep your wits about you. Something'll turn up eventually.

[ziosar]

You can count on that I will. [Akihiko crosses his arms] Will you be fine?

[May as well ask. This guy doesn't seem the sort that crumbles under weird heavenly circumstances, but hey, there's no harm in checking on him]
