📌 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.

♡

[HE'S OLD!!!! A spiritual geriatric. Also she is so cute. this is me aki thinking this but Lucas is also faintly endeared by the energy.]

A much wider space would have been easier to get lost in, but it isn't as though we're at a loss for time. [Dead people jokes.] The gifts are a cute touch, but I would have preferred being able to speak with someone face to face, as well.

[florescences]

[ likewise, elysia is endeared by lucas' geriatric spirit. ]

It may be the only thing we have right now. [ time. ] It would have been a cuter touch if they gave us phones that could connect.

A hotline.

[faithkept]

[HELP. The goofy old man vibes. His head cants a little to the side at the mention of this mythical PHONE and HOTLINE, though.]

I'm afraid I'm unsure of what either of these things are...

[florescences]

[ she reaches into the gift box she was totally always holding and that i didn't totally just happen to make appear for thread convenience. she pulls out the cell phone. ]

This is a phone, and a hotline is a number you can can enter on the phone and use to reach someone to talk to that also has a phone.

[faithkept]

[Oh! Yes... He does not question this magically appearing box and phone that have been here the whole time and just nods.]

Oh! So it's like a communicator, then? I had wondered what it was. I was told it was like a camera...

[florescences]

It can be both. The communication part doesn't seem to be working now, but... the camera part does!

[ she holds her phone up. ]

Smile. ♪

[faithkept]

[THE WAY THAT HE STARTLES FOR A SECOND because he's never actually used a working camera in his life, but he also just smiles on reflex when it's requested.]

Oh! I've never had my picture taken before. Do I need to do anything else...?

[florescences]

[ thanks for following instructions. snap! ]

Not at all. Do you know how beautiful you are? Um... [ wow, she doesn't know his name yet. ] Would you like to see?

I'm Elysia. My name's beauty matches my own.

[faithkept]

[He's very good at following instructions! He also just laughs faintly at the comment.]

Oh, my. Thank you for the compliment, my dear. I'd love to see! [SCOOTING OVER TO LOOK now he can see his halo too and not just in the reflection of the upskirting floor, damn.]

Pardon my manners, as well; it's wonderful to make your acquaintance, Elysia. You and your name are both quite lovely, indeed. Mine is Lucas.

[florescences]

[ removes the part of him that's good at following instructions................

she will show him he and his catholic ass halo in its full glory. ]

Thank you, Lucas. [ hehe ] Do you think your halo fits you?

[faithkept]

[🥺

This is such a funny fucking halo though, my god. There is perhaps the barest hint of hesitation, but he's still smiling!]

It doesn't seem very out of place, at least. Ah - would you like me to take a picture of you so that you can see yours? It's very beautiful.

[florescences]

[ oh... hesitation, but if he's smiling, she won't say anything. ]

How could I turn you down?

[faithkept]

[She is too kind... He'll pull his phone out of the box that he was also totally holding this whole time.]

Do you mind showing me how it's done?

[florescences]

Of course.

[ she is going to reach over and tap on his screen and then point to the camera app. ]

Tap that. And then press the circle that appears next.

[faithkept]

Ah! How simple... Alright, then - I'll be taking your picture now.

[He will hold up his phone and wait for her to smile before he does so. Thinking about how they just randomly have each other's pictures on their phones now.]

[florescences]

[ that's friendship!!

she smiles and holds up a hand for a finger heart. ]

[faithkept]

[He will take her picture! And then give her a questioning lil look as he holds the phone out if she wants to take a peek.]

Is that meant to be a greeting?

[florescences]

[ she does want to see. she leans over to take a better look. ]

Yep. I'm cute as ever. It's like a heart but smaller.

[ she'll make heart hands and then do a finger heart. ]

[faithkept]

[He just laughs faintly, both amused and kind of endeared by her open appreciation of her own cuteness. She is so valid.

But then he's just like ! about these heart hands. CUTE.]

Oh! I see... Very cute. [He copies her!!] A fitting gesture for you, my dear.

[florescences]

I'm glad you think so.

[ she snaps a picture of lucas doing heart hands or a finger heart or both. whatever he's copying. ]

It suits you, too.

[faithkept]

[FINGER HEART. Their fucking pictures.]

Why, thank you. And thank you so much for showing me such a cute thing!

[AND ALSO HOW CAMERAS WORK a power he will definitely not abuse.]
