📌 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]

[ he does a little ear flicky when lucas speaks! he doesn't look over, but his ears swivel a bit towards him. ]

Haha, no, there isn't. [ bemused. ] It feels wonderful. Perfect, in fact, which is... interesting.

[faithkept]

Interesting? [He will stop basking in the sun long enough to glance over at his MUMMY COMPATRIOT HELLO.] In what way?

[fried]

Well. The last place I remember being in had perfectly sunny days often, but then again - it was a ship. Simulations were frequent, there.

[ what's your technology level in fake france ]

So I had wondered if this was real or simulated.

[faithkept]

[Well you see, the level of technology is It's Complicated.]

Simulation...? I'm afraid I've not heard a term like that before. Do you mind explaining?

[fried]

[ i vaguely remember this yes ]

... A planet with a low level of technology, then... [ he murmurs to himself, thoughtfully. ] A simulation is a projected image. Imagine being on a street, knowing that it is nighttime, but the sky above you basks in sunlight, nary a cloud in the sky.

But then again, that seems a little convoluted when I could just accept the obvious answer.

[faithkept]

A planet?

[LIKE A WHOLEASS PLANET?? COMPARED TO WHAT, OTHER PLANETS?? The way the rest of his world could have furries for real and he just straight up wouldn't know, he just assumes it's a freak jungle out there.]

That does sound a bit convoluted... [The technology itself. It also sounds like something Cerneauval would have.] The obvious answer being that this is the afterlife?

[fried]

[ oh buddy there's so much space out there you cannot believe it ]

Indeed. [ ... ] Ah, that does confirm it then, doesn't it. I'd hoped for a different answer.

[faithkept]

[THEY HAVEN'T EVEN DISCOVERED THAT OTHER PLANETS ARE OUT THERE YET, IT'S THE 18TH CENTURY.

His expression shifts a little from the easy sort of warmth to something a little more concerned, though. So many people do not want to be here...]

If I might be so brusque, was your death unexpected...?

[fried]

Oh, no. I expected it. But even an old foxian like me has a little hope left in him.

[ he straightens up. ]

So long as it's only me, I am content.

[faithkept]

[This man is such a fucking furry.

There's a little bit of sympathy in his expression, though, and in the small frown that follows.]

...It sounds as though you were in quite an unpleasant situation before ending up here, then. I'm sorry to hear it... I should hope that that's the case, if it's what you hope for. Have you seen any of those who were with you, yet?

[fried]

[ HOW DID THIS INSPIRE FURRY ACCUSATIONS

the smile on his face stays! ]

No, thankfully. [ sets this before he sees jing yuan, lol ] Don't be sorry. I'm not only talk, I mean what I say.

Thank you, however. It's kind of you.

[faithkept]

[Furry.........]

Ah, that's good news, then. [JING YUAN YOU FUCKIN RUINED IT BY BEING DEAD. GET IN THE TIMEOUT BOX GRANDPA.]

Even so, it's a terrible thing having to depart on unpleasant terms. I do hope that the afterlife treats you more kindly.

[fried]

[ he takes a nap in there and we're all disappointed

jiaoqiu hums. ]

In any case. At least the sun still shines on us. [ ... ] My apologies, I never introduced myself. My name is Jiaoqiu, of the Xianzhou Yaoqing.

[faithkept]

[GRANDPA...

Also that is sooo many not white words and he's just a little flustered because he's going to struggle with the pronunciation here but MY GOD HE'LL DO HIS LIL FRENCH BEST.]

No need to apologize! I quite forgot, myself. It's a pleasure to meet you, Jiaoqiu; my name is Lucas.

[fried]

[ HELP he's trying so hard ]

It's a pleasure, Lucas. [ a little bow of his head. ] At least the company in this place hasn't been lacking, though... I wonder if this is all there is to it.

[faithkept]

[HE IS... HE IS......]

Surely not. [Why does he sound so certain when he does not know a damn thing.] The afterlife could hardly be such a simple thing.

[fried]

[ lucas said i know exactly what heaven is like and it's not this ]

You sound very certain. [ just calls him out ]

[faithkept]

[YEAH!!!! THIS ISN'T HEAVENLY AT ALL. FATHER WHO ART IN HEAVEN WHERE ARE YOU.]

Ah, well... Some things are just easy to feel certain about, I suppose. Though I'd have never thought that so many different places would need to be taken into consideration in an afterlife; that's quite a surprise!

[fried]

[ he glances back up towards the sun, closing his eyes fully to just bask again. ]

That may be why it's so blurry and out of focus here. Wherever we are is having a hard time adjusting to the variety.

[faithkept]

[Now this is furry behavior.]

It doesn't inspire much confidence if that's the case, though, does it...? One would think the afterlife would be thoroughly prepared for any influx of guests.

[fried]

[ i'm gonna furry your behavior ]

Perhaps we're off schedule.

[faithkept]

[HELP. ALSO GO TO BED]

I should hope Heaven wouldn't be so poorly managed.

[fried]

[ NO I'M FUCKING UP MY SLEEP SCHEDULE DO YOU MIND!! ]

I don't have any faith in any sort of government, divine or not. [ jiaoqiu you work for the government ]

[faithkept]

[HITS U WTIH THE PICKLEBALL BAT]

Oh, my. [NO FAITH...] ...Well, I can't say I expected there to be a divine government in the first place.

[fried]

[ PICKLEBALL? ]

Do you think we could file a complaint? [ karens god ]
