πŸ“Œ 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! πŸ˜‡

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:

πŸ“±
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.
πŸ–ŠοΈ
Pen
One encouraging pen of your choice. Blue ink!
πŸ₯š
Egg
A large egg the color of your halo. About ostrich egg sized. Warm.
βš”οΈ
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.

Could be! We should keep all options open, until we are able to receive actual answers.

[ assuming that they uh

do receive any ]

[personal profile] berserketype 2025-02-08 02:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[ he does... look around at that. are the answers here with them? he'd like to meet them. ]

-- There was meant to be some sorta pamplet thing, weren't there?

[personal profile] rippled 2025-02-08 03:00 pm (UTC)(link)
They appear to have forgotten to give us information, but they did remember the egg.

[ amazing. ]
berserketype: (032)

[personal profile] berserketype 2025-02-08 03:04 pm (UTC)(link)
I've hardly looked at it. It's seriously an jus' an egg?
rippled: (pic#17514561)

[personal profile] rippled 2025-02-08 03:05 pm (UTC)(link)
A large one, and they appear to be unusual colors. But yes, just an egg.

[ they suddenly look dejected. ]

I wanted to eat one, but they won't break...
berserketype: (137)

[personal profile] berserketype 2025-02-08 03:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[ the way basilio immediately also looks dejected. ]

Damn. I was hopin' if we got into the kitchens here, we'd have somethin' to cook proper with.
rippled: (pic#17509477)

[personal profile] rippled 2025-02-08 03:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe there is something inside of them?

A... large chicken...
berserketype: (120)

[personal profile] berserketype 2025-02-08 03:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[ big... ]

We could've made so much food with it...
rippled: (pic#17514531)

[personal profile] rippled 2025-02-08 03:28 pm (UTC)(link)
We will simply have to eat the chicken.
berserketype: (046)

[personal profile] berserketype 2025-02-08 03:28 pm (UTC)(link)
If there's even one in there.

[personal profile] rippled 2025-02-08 03:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ... ]

I miss rice...
berserketype: (127)

[personal profile] berserketype 2025-02-08 03:38 pm (UTC)(link)
I miss food that isn't shite.

[personal profile] rippled 2025-02-08 03:40 pm (UTC)(link)
I've never tried anything like this before. It's a rather distinct taste that I'm not sure how to describe.

[ it's the preservatives ]
berserketype: (012)

[personal profile] berserketype 2025-02-08 03:51 pm (UTC)(link)
S'distinct in a bad way. [ he pulls a face, complete with a lil poke of the tongue. like blergh. ]

Leaves an' aftertaste too.
rippled: (pic#17514066)

[personal profile] rippled 2025-02-08 04:04 pm (UTC)(link)
If we do need food, then you're going to have to eat it though...

[ eat your nuggies. ]
berserketype: (295)

[personal profile] berserketype 2025-02-08 04:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[ his ears just go down.

so fast. ]
rippled: (pic#17509412)

[personal profile] rippled 2025-02-08 04:27 pm (UTC)(link)
–but maybe you won't have to!

[ NOT THE SAD EARS ]
berserketype: (287)

[personal profile] berserketype 2025-02-08 04:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[ they stay down. even the tail's drooped. ]

Y'said it yourself. We gotta eat.
rippled: (pic#17510880)

[personal profile] rippled 2025-02-08 04:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Perhaps we can find the most inoffensive item...?

[ there has to be something that has less of a fast food taste than the other things. ]
berserketype: (043)

[personal profile] berserketype 2025-02-08 04:43 pm (UTC)(link)
What 'bout that thing that flew through the sky just now?

[ PIE. ]
rippled: (pic#17509475)

[personal profile] rippled 2025-02-08 04:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Perhaps! We can see if we can find another one.

[ they assume eating the one that has probably been on the floor for who knows how long now is no longer viable. ]
berserketype: (005)

[personal profile] berserketype 2025-02-08 04:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[ i mean if he has to. ]

Y'think if we wait, one'll just fly out again?
rippled: (pic#17509472)

[personal profile] rippled 2025-02-08 04:58 pm (UTC)(link)
I believe so, it will just then depend on our reflexes.

[ yank one out of the air ]
berserketype: (014)

[personal profile] berserketype 2025-02-08 05:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ...... ok, well. his agility's surprisingly good for a tank, but be so for real. ]

Or catch it in somethin'?
rippled: (pic#17514218)

[personal profile] rippled 2025-02-08 05:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Like some sort of container? We can try to find something.

[ well they have boxes, i guess ]
