📌 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.

[boxcar]

Why do you fight?

[kumeyuri]

[easily,]

To protect the nation and be of use to those around me.

[boxcar]

Protect the nation?

[ Wow. ]

Are you a soldier?

[kumeyuri]

[he pauses like he has to think about this.]

Technically retired from active duty now, I guess. But yes, I was one, at least.

[boxcar]

You served a big important role.

There must've been a lot of people you helped. I respect it.

1/3

[kumeyuri]

[...

it's not like uruha has never heard stuff like this??? HE RECEIVED ENDLESS AMOUNTS OF SIMILAR REMARKS DURING AND AFTER THE WAR, but after everything that's happened recently...]

[kumeyuri]

[













EATS A FRY INSTEAD OF SAYING ANYTHING]

[kumeyuri]

[okay no he needs to say SOMETHING]

... And what about you? You sound like you know a thing or two about fighting.

[boxcar]

[ Watches him use potato to solve his grief. Mood. ]

...

It's nothing noble.

I box.

[kumeyuri]

It doesn't have to be noble. I didn't start training with the sword for any reason at first other than to be good at it.

[with a tilt of his head]

Boxing's impressive.

[boxcar]

I just mean I didn't serve or anything. I wasn't drafted, Vatican City wasn't really that involved in the war.

I started because I got into street fights a lot, and I was good at coming out above.

[kumeyuri]

[delicately munches on a fry]

So you're self-taught?

[boxcar]

I was for a while. Eventually I got proper teaching from a coach.

Fighting got a lot easier when it was in a ring and they can't pull a knife on you.

[kumeyuri]

[congrats because this gets a rare smile from uruha and the first in the game, even if it's a little wry.]

Fighting for show is pretty different from fighting for your life, huh?

[boxcar]

[ Wtf wills it to be less rare... but also holds this crown high above my head. ]

...

Yeah.

[ For a minute he also looked like he was going to smile or some other kind of good emotion, but it flickers out pretty fast with a conflicted frown. ]

One is a lot better.

[kumeyuri]

[MARCOH YOUR GOOD EMOTIONS

uruha watches him for a moment, before he flashes a peace sign.]

I'd agree with that.

[imagine if marcoh actually meant that he liked fighting for his life better]

[boxcar]

[ Lmao? That would be funny wouldn't it. ]

I think a lot of people would prefer it, yeah.

[ He twiddles a wrapper between his fingers, distracted. ]

[kumeyuri]

[THAT'S SO OMINOUS LOWE

...]

Are you all right?

[boxcar]

Sorry. Just thinking about stuff.

I didn't mean to die. It might not seem that bad but it's not where I want to be.

[kumeyuri]

[well now he's getting a little distracted himself, idly tapping a finger against the table.]

... Regrets, unfinished business? I get it. Where do you want to be?

[boxcar]

The Kingdom of Rondon.

There's someone I promised to meet.

[kumeyuri]

[well that name sure means nothing to him but]

... I'm sorry.

[boxcar]

[ Yeah that's normal. Marcoh doesn't answer, he just looks kind of grim overall now. ]

[kumeyuri]

[unfortunately uruha is mildly undersocialized and does not know how to be comforting in situations like these, so he is silent for a while.]

... We'll get more answers about this place. And maybe something will lead to your promise, one way or another.

[he isn't necessarily thinking REVIVAL!! but more. well who knows what you can or can't do from the afterlife.]

[boxcar]

[ He crunches this wrapper in a hand. ]

Yeah. No reason to give up. Whatever happened, I'm still here right now.

So are you.
