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.

The pleasure is mine.

[ he looks (faux) surprised. ]

Hardship? How so? I must insist that mine has only lived in the lap of luxury, for better or worse.

[ Mimi the Second... a goil this time. he has her do a lil plushie dance, splashing around in imaginary water. ]
noirges: (ღ we can be alone)

[ this is so fucking funny and cute they're just gonna play house. yves looks so curious at this ]

Oh, a lovely life for a lovely [ yves pauses. what animal is this? ] cat!

Hugo [ he named his stuffed animal after his gay best friend ] is a bit of a rogue himself. Always a scamp getting into adventures, but a heart of gold beneath it all!

[ HEHE YEAH!!!! jing yuan does not seem surprised at all by yves' unfamiliarity with cats. (relatable content, actually.)

ALSO YAYWON (HUGO) IS HERE!!!! ]


Hugo, meet Mimi the Second. Mimi the Second, Hugo.

[ he shakes their lil paws together... burgers may flood and fries may waterfall but all is well in heaven, in this singular thread. ]

Tell us of his adventures. What has he seen?
noirges: (ღ i see nobody)

[ ALL IS WELL IN HEAVEN IN THEIR FOUNTAIN COURTYARD OF SQUISHMALLOW TRANQUILITY

yves also happily shakes their paws together... wow.... serenity ]


He's a handyman—handydog! Well-respected amongst his community. Earns his pay for a good life to look after his sisters. He'll track down robbers, help fix boats, or the most treacherous of all—babysitting!

But a chance to relax with Mimi the Second is all he could need to let the stress fade away.

[ he smiles, because this all sounds very specific. or, he supposes, yves might be an impressive improvisor. he looks like he is enjoying the narration either way. ]

I hope Hugo will be a good influence on Mimi the Second. [ now comparing a person to a cat! help! ]

She can be sweet, but also very demanding. Prone to bouts of loneliness, should she be left unattended for too long. And unlike Hugo, she does not often have a chance to roam too far past her home.
