📌 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.

[THE MYSTERY TOTS... He will also dig in, yum yum.]

Ah, they really are good. [HE'S GLAD... Magically appearing food seems like a bit of a crapshoot but everything's been a hit so far, good work cafe.

ANYWAY. He just nods and then glances up toward his halo as he gestures to it.]

...Good to meet you regardless, though I'm quite sorry to see others here.

[clockpunk]

Pretty decent, yup. Can't complain about this, at least.

[ though he might just be hungry. it's hard to tell. ]

Sounds kinda like you were expecting somethin' like this.

[faithkept]

[Hunger is truly the best seasoning. He glances up toward the vague and indistinct blurryass ceiling, humming thoughtfully.]

...Well! Not something like this in its exact state and form, but I was certainly expecting an afterlife, yes. And my death was no surprise to me, either. You seem quite calm, yourself.

[clockpunk]

But a lonely one? That's kinda sad, man.

[ he hums around another mouthful of Mystery Tots(tm). ]

Guess so. It'll probably hit me later, but s'like... when somethin' almost happens a bunch? So when it finally actually does, it's not really surprising.

[faithkept]

It isn't terribly lonely, is it? The people here are quite rambunctious.

[There is so much chaos all over the place. My god. BUT ALSO HELLO. His brow furrows a little, which can't even really be seen thanks to his stupid fringe.]

Were you often in dangerous situations back in your life, then?

[clockpunk]

Kinda sounded like you weren't expectin' to see anyone else, I mean.

[ because yeah away from their quiet little sort-of-table there certainly were Activities occurring. ]

For a while, yeah. Stuff just... kept happening. [ god did it ever. ] Thought it'd finally chilled out, but maybe it just caught up to me.

[faithkept]

Ah, did it? I didn't intend for it to.

[But that sure is just the way, ain't it... You think things are fine and then BAM, the big one gets you.]

It sounds dreadful... I'm sorry you had to endure such a thing. If nothing else, hopefully being here will be a moment of respite.

[clockpunk]

Not gonna pretend like it didn't suck, but there were good things that came of it. I'm gonna miss those.

[ eats a tater tot, but more sadly this time. ]

Sorry this happened to you too, man. You weren't surprised, though? Ain't you kinda young for that?

[faithkept]

[NOT THE SAD TATER TOT EATING. This is so tragic... He's just giving this poor lad a sympathetic look.]

Mourning is an appropriate reaction to one's own death, I believe... [Now that they all know you'll apparently be conscious enough to self-mourn...

The statement has his expression shifting to one of faint confusion, though - just for a second. Being surrounded by people who don't just keel over at 23 is so wild.]

Ah... Well. I was ill, you see. It was a bit inevitable.
