πŸ“Œ 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! πŸ˜‡

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:

πŸ“±
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.
πŸ–ŠοΈ
Pen
One encouraging pen of your choice. Blue ink!
πŸ₯š
Egg
A large egg the color of your halo. About ostrich egg sized. Warm.
βš”οΈ
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.

[ i see the grumpy and the cheery happening here ]

Prickly - oh no, no, not at all! He was quite kind, and even helped me with this. Ah. Predicament...

[ he gestures down at his... bare legs... in this little outfit... and more specifically at the scarf now tied around his thighs so he doesn't end up flashing anyone. ] So, on my first assessment, I'd be inclined to agree - great, indeed.

[ please save adolphe from his wretched fate

but yves looks down and then back up in a very polite manner of seconds, laughing a little bit. is this where i remember to mention that yves is covered in bandages underneath his sexy angel cosplay well i guess so

but he hums a happy little tune ]


Adolphe's so reliable. I'm glad! He's mellowed out a lot over the years. It makes me proud to see it.

[ I SEE

he does not ask about the bandages but they do not go unnoticed, mostly because it's a little easier to focus on that than anyone's state of undress!! all of you stop being sexy and catholic. however, taair is a nice boy, so he'll keep with the tone for the moment, smiling a little fondly. ]


It's nice to have such good friends. [ maybe just a touch wistful. ] If there is any testimony required, should there be a judgement, I'd be happy to provide a meager extra hand. Though, with the support of such a kind companion - I imagine things will go perfectly well for him, too.

Haha, thanks for already being willing to help him out. I'm sure he's happy to have a new friend too, even if he's bad at saying it!

[ BECOMES ADOLPHE'S MOUTHPIECE WITHOUT ASKING!!! ]

You can lean on us if you ever anything, you know, Taiir? Just because a friendship is new doesn't mean it's any less meaningful.

That makes two of us. [ to have new friends... he sets a hand to his heart, touched. ] All of my friendships are rather new, you see. I treasure them very much for it.

You're very kind, Yves, and I thank you very much for the offer. I may have to take you up on that, though of course, I'd offer the same! I may not be much, but I'm always happy to listen - and I have been told I make a good storyteller, if nothing else.
