📌 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.

[ It would be REALLY funny. CRAU3 where we tell you you can only app people who are wimps, whether physically or emotionally. ]

Do you think it will? If it does, as long as it's tangible, I can fight it.

[rippled]

It may not, but it is best to be prepared for any type of scenario. After all, people don't always go to a form of afterlife after death.

[ sometimes they are summoned to participate in some type of war, perhaps to compete for some sort of grail. perhaps. ]

[boxcar]

I wasn't sure what would happen. If it'd be nothing or what.

[ At the rate these goblins are acting up we will actually have to war for clean cutlery. ]

Are you good with normal swords?

[ Really just watched them swing around the toy sword for like five minutes. ]

[rippled]

Oh, yes! Very good. I have one with me, actually.

[ thankfully they were not wildly swinging that one around. ]

[boxcar]

I feel like a lot of you came with swords.

[ The mortality rate suggests many have participated in the fallacy of sword, meet gun. ]

[rippled]

Not enough, I think...

[ stares at marcoh's lack of one ]

[boxcar]

I use my fists.

I'm better at these than swords.

[rippled]

That is fine! It is best not to switch over to something that would give you a disadvantage.

Still, other people with swords means we have at least other fighters, so that is something to keep note on.

[boxcar]

It's not surprising that a lot of people who fight are dead.

[ Honestly. I hope one of us died because we ate peanut butter or something though. ]

You bringing that into the afterlife and not your clothes is the weird part. I hope you will not need it.

[rippled]

I–that was not on purpose!

[ they seem flustered for a second, and then sigh. ]

... well, I also hope I do not need it, but hopefully I can use it for some friendly sparring.

[boxcar]

No, I know. You and everybody else. I am hoping I can get a change sooner or later.

[ It's not embarrassing anymore when everyone is in the same boat and it's not like he's shy but like. Perhaps unsurprisingly this may not be his usual pick in attire. ]

Sparring sounds like a good way to pass the time. Keeps you sharp.

[rippled]

Exactly! And it would be better than just sitting around. There's really not much for us to do.

[ besides like. eat burgers and mingle. ]

[boxcar]

[ And clog a toilet apparently. ]

Do you want to?

[rippled]

[ they perk up!

and then pause. ]

I suppose we should look around more before...

[ the struggle to remain responsible here. ]

[boxcar]

I've walked into the fog twice. I can walk more but I'm not sure what it'll achieve.

The cafe also doesn't have a lot to look at.

[rippled]

Cafe? Is that what that building is, with the strange food summoning device?

[ whoa... learning new things ]

[boxcar]

I think it is. Or it's a small restaurant. I don't really understand the difference.

It's crowded in there.

[ On account of all the food. ]

[rippled]

Do you think this place has weather? If it rains, that is our only place for coverage.

[boxcar]

...

[ FROWNS. He isn't saying what about that he doesn't like but he doesn't seem to appreciate it. ]

I hope not. I don't mind a little drizzle.

[rippled]

I am also not sure if we can all even fit inside comfortably... it appears like there's almost forty of us.

[ which is a lot of people to just be

hanging around

or shoved into a cafe ]

[boxcar]

I think I might wait outside if that happens.

[ Him leaving probably makes room for like three people anyway. ]

[rippled]

I suppose that might be fine if it's only a drizzle, but what if it's worse...?

[ don't be too brave... ]

[boxcar]

I'll play it by ear.

After all it's not raining right now. Might not need to even think about it.

[rippled]

That's a good point...

[ they raise their index fingers and place them at the side of their head, much like the icon, and tilt their head. thinking pose... ]

Either way, we shouldn't cause too much damage to the building, as it is currently our only form of shelter right now.

[boxcar]

[ They're sooo cute.

Marcoh thinks about the clogged toilet. Dang. ]

I think we'll be okay unless someone had a bomb in their box.

[ Knock on wood. ]
