📌 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]

[ it's probably less hot pot and more like, fast food ramen but listen, it's close enough. ]

It would be rude of me to deny such a generous offer. [ he does not look at akihiko, but his ear flicks! ] What did you have in mind?

[ziosar]

I'm interested in finding out the quality of the beef bowl here. You try some and tell me if it's actually decent, while I have this you gave me.

[Then, like it's meant to make it more enticing:]

There's nothing better than a good beef bowl, so if you think about it, you're getting the better part of the deal.

[Deal Jiaoqiu already agreed to, but yeah. At least Akihiko is trying to get some form of agreement before getting that promised beef bowl because he has some manners]

[fried]

[ this is so funny

jiaoqiu patiently waits for him to finish making this deal, amused. ]

Ah, you spoil me. [ teehee ] I'd be happy to try a beef bowl. Will you order it for me?

[ziosar]

Sure. Wait here.

[Bam, doesn't take long for you to have a beef bowl in front of you, Jiaoqiu! It looks tasty enough. If Akihiko were to be asked he sure would have Opinions, but since the purpose is to get an impartial rating from someone else, he keeps them to himself]

Thanks for the food.

[And he dives into his own hot pot thing. He's not shy about this at all, he puts enthusiasm into this]

[fried]

[ he will try some! it's like... fast food beef bowl, so i can't imagine it's fantastic grade, but jiaoqiu munches on it thoughtfully. ]

... Hmm. Stringy, but not terrible.

[ akihiko's instant ramen hot pot is like, really spicy. like enough to make you tear up spicy, because jiaoqiu is a menace. it's probably pretty good under that though! ]

[ziosar]

[Akihiko is absolutely tearing up, but he isn't letting that deter him at all. Just look at him, still eating as if he's not absolutely dying on the inside. He's going to wake up back outside, once he perishes because Jiaoqiu is a menace]

I myself am surprised this is proving to be decent. Better than I thought it'd be.

[He's a fighter through and through and that includes not conceding he walked straight into this mess]

[fried]

[ this is so funny, he is living (metaphorically) watching all these people just refuse to give in to the heat ]

Oh? I'm glad. Those must be tears of joy. [ hehe. ] I could prepare better meat than this.

[ziosar]

They are.

[He doesn't even try to dry up the tears, pretending they're not there. It's partly because like hell he's going to risk getting his hands up because what if they have spice of them from the close proximity to this hotpot? Nah, watery eyes forever, it'll be]

So the beef bowl isn't all that good. Good to know. I'm glad I didn't have to find that out by myself.

[The disappointment would have been insult to injury, given the whole 'we are in heaven because we died' thing]

[fried]

Is that your favorite food?

[ he's just guessing ]

[ziosar]

Yes, but it's less about the taste and more about the benefits.

[Stop lying, Akihiko, you adore the taste and the smell too]

[fried]

I see, I see. The protein, yes? Then... you must be an athlete of some sort.

[ziosar]

Pretty much. I'm the captain of my school's boxing team. As a serious athlete, it'd be pitiful if I couldn't take care of myself and improve more every time.

[That declaration would be a little more impressive if he wasn't right now trying not to cry his eyes off]
