🗺️ Map

📌 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.

Listen up 10s a 4 is talking

[gutterbound]

1) No

[The breeze of air on bare legs is somehow more perturbing than the bandage rounding his head, or the watery cast to the ground. Richie had startled awake, blinking near to blindness in the sudden light, and looked down to find his knobby knees exposed in some kind of sporty toga situation. Two-shouldered, thank god, but also what in god's name?]

The fuck...?

[A thought that dies in time with the drop of his jaw. Richie sits stunned on the ground, gazing out at a whole lotta sky and a lotta bodies with not a-lotta coverage.

Also shit is floating above everyone's heads.

Give him a moment. He's in a rare state of stunned silence. His glasses slip a little down his nose.]


2) No...

[Standing by the touchscreen, frowning. Pulls out his new cell phone.

Baps it to the screen. They are both glass slabs??? Frowns at this puzzle.]


3) This is stupid

Christ on a bike. Not only is it a dry county, but the only amenities around got choked up in sloppy burgers, and there's about thirty-odd guys in short skirts walking over a reflective floor. [He's wiping at his eyes beneath his glasses, dragging out a long sigh.] Never been more thankful to sit at a minus four-oh-three on a vision chart.

And what are we doing with these? [Foot-nudges this EGG. WHAT IS THIS.] What laid this five-pound motherfucker? Because I don't want to be around when it comes back for it, but shit, where would you even go?

3

[ziosar]

In that case you better treat that thing well. You don't want to give some giant bird reasons to attack you.

[Don't foot nudge your newfound child, Richie]

[gutterbound]

This is entrapment. I'm not falling for some cuckoo-nest conspiracy.

[ziosar]

I think being here means it's too late to not fall for some shady thing.

[You have been entrapped, and probably not by some bird]

[gutterbound]

There's something to be said about passive resistance. Make that passive-aggressive, should any lords

[Frowns down at this egg. Wipes his forehead and looks back to this kid. Really, the damn thing is the least of all concerns, but it does feel like adding insult to injury.]

Pardon my manners. Name's Rich. You?

2

[noirges]

[ yves was probably finishing up his meal but upon seeing someone struggle at the kiosk, he's going to just. hop over the counter and ask like he's the booth boy who was supposed to be working here this whole time

there is a little fish bowl nearby with a fat pufferfish staring at richie. brother.

meanwhile yves, cheerful: ]

Good day, monsieur! Looking for a bite to eat? How can I help you?

[gutterbound]

[Richie looks up and softly double takes at the mask — all things considered, not the strangest shit on the scene — then shakes his head.]

You don't work here, do you? [Why is there a fish? Do they serve pufferfish here? Fuck, he'd take an easy death at this point for a cheap chance to split.] Looking for a drink more like. But judging from the soft haze that serves as a behind-the-counter, they aren't stocking Jim Beam or Crown Royale.

[noirges]

I don't, but there's been a lot of people struggling and over-ordering, so I thought I could help out if anyone needed it. It's really new technology, so it took me a while to learn to!

[ yves said please stop the food waste or else he will have to eat it all off the floor himself ]

But you're looking for liquor? Me too! Maybe we should just make a pact and say if either one of us finds any, we'll just share with each other.

[gutterbound]

You don't say. Feels like someone nicked it from the set of Star Trek. What was wrong with an old fashioned cashier?

[Regards this peppy lost child.]

Are you even twenty-one?

2

[productionhell]

[ a woman in this outfit is walking by, and sees him struggling with technology like the boomer he is ]

Oh, hello! Do you need help?

1/2

[gutterbound]

[CLOWN????????????]

2/2

[gutterbound]

[No it's just a...theatre kid. A very tall and scantily clad one.]

Uh. Sure. Have at her, kiddo. What am I missing here?

[productionhell]

[ she's a demon not a clown get it right ]

It's a touchscreen, see. [ demonstrates with her fingies, though it's slow going. she adds fries to the order ]

You can use this tablet to order food. Would you like anything?

[gutterbound]

[same difference]

Well I'll be. [There's a mild amusement to all this. It's new, sure, but similar stuff showed up in sci fi flicks all the time. Seems like an inevitable future.] See, I figured these things were built the same, maybe clapping them together would pop open a secret exit. Food's fine too, I guess.

What's all good here?

2!

[faithkept]

[JUST WATCHING THIS HAPPEN... Honestly he gave up on his phone immediately, so he's curious as to whether or not this is the correct application of it.

When it seems that nothing is happening, he will helpfully pipe up from where he sits with so many drinks.]

I believe you need to touch it with your hand and not that box, dear.

[gutterbound]

I do?

[Looks to this exceptionally beautiful and very young man and almost feels the colour get sucked out of a chunk of his hair. The "dear" claims another. Kinda pushing it, you need to be 12 years ahead of a guy to get rights to sweetheart endearments, not 12 years behind.

But no matter, let's give it a whirl. Raps the screen with one knuckle. Un burger ordered.]

Well. No shit and no shine. I didn't realize heaven was going to be a theme park.

[faithkept]

[NOOOO HE'S GOING TO SUCK THE LIFE OUT OF RICHIE BEFORE TUTORIAL EVEN HAPPENS.

But he'll watch the singular burger appear and offer a little smile!]

I'm afraid I don't know what a theme park is, but it's rather convenient, isn't it? And it does seem to have quite a large supply.

[For better or for worse...]

[florescences]

[ she nods throughout his whole tirade. she's listening, richie. she's listening. ]

I understand all your concerns, but it looks like we'll have to wait to see situation. Or we could become more disoriented.

Although there's no harm in coming up with our own answers!

[gutterbound]

[Thank you for your time.

Richie cocks his head a little. Weird way to answer. Like he'd taken his bitching to an airline stewardess, all smiles and corporate consideration.]

Well. Wasn't like I was expecting much in the way of amelioration. More just venting out the gas pipes before they burst. Might be easier with a smoke, but you know.

[Pats the side of his short toga.]

Nowhere to stash 'em. You wouldn't have one, would you?

[florescences]

[ she'd be offended if she knew he thought she'd be part of corporate. ]

Oh, no, sorry to disappoint. The vice I choose is a little drink here and there. But I don't think it hurts to have expectations.

[ it's fine for him to keep venting. ]

two

[cupidsammo]

[ She's waiting behind him for a bit, then: ]

Excuse me, but... Is that broken?

[gutterbound]

Christ, how would I know? What's it supposed to do?

[He takes a half-step back, both to see the wee thing better and let her take a gander at the thing.]

I figure it's not a tv, seeing as it's sitting hip-height, but there's no buttons so computer's out. And considering the state of place, people, and most of all dress, I no longer know what to expect.

Take a crack at it, if you want. The floor's all yours.

[cupidsammo]

[ ...... ]

O... okay. I'll be quick about it.

[ So, with practiced ease, Koharu goes through the menus, decides on her choice, and before you know it she's receiving some typical McD*nald's order. ]

[jiaohua]

[



she just watches this happen because she doesn't know how to use a touchscreen either.]

BRITT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[gutterbound]

[Gets us OUT OF HERE]
