An old (hard to tell how old) woman of unknown ancesty with a decent sizes grey bun sits behind a desk typing on a cpmputer. its not plugged in. There are a dozen chairs in the room and some mindnumbing boring muszak is playing over the loudspeakers. there is a ticket machine with a number on it. it reads take one and wait for your number to be called. there are a few annoying cute posters on the wall and a waterjug with paper cups.
Might be a bit of a wait.

Aiko Nakajima found herself standing in an odd kind of waiting room. There was no one here but an old woman working at an odd desk. She took a ticket and sat. Waiting to see if this was a dream or not.

The old woman hands a clipboard to you with forms to fill out, its appears to be a standard spirit rebirth form. Name, place of death, cause of death, there is a place to fill out your stats... Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdome, charisma, and Luck. (you get 24 points to spend in a point buy.)
This all seemed very odd, it looked like some kind of computer game PC making system, she played along as it was a dream. She must be in a coma, that was it, at the hospital and this was her mind trying to deal with it. Talking a pan she started.
She was shocked to see that it asked her what race she would like to be, At 1st she wanted to be an Oni, Poet of love...
Joseph appeared clutching at his gut "What was in that Sushi? Did they not follow the local health code at ALL? Where are the inspectors? How do you..."
Then he looks around in confusion.

"Oh. Same as it ever was." He looks over at the 'Hang in there' post with the depiction of an odd tentacled panther holding on to a cliff side with only one tendril having snagged on. The magical beast has an adorably panicked look on its feline face.
He decides to wait patiently as the muzak version of 'Raindrops are falling on my head' plays nearby.
Aiko... please proceed to gameplay might be abit to get everyone wrangled in but it will work best to introduce everyone one at a time. :) will be a bit before anything super major happens so not having a fully finished charecter sheet wont be an issue

Somehow Joseph you almost feel right at home. you can see the desk has a tiny nameplate and the older indescrimenate womans hair shifted almost imperceptiby. It was now a honey colored brown with wisps of grey in it.She looked younger, a bit more attractive.... actually a lot more attractive. her name tag read "agnes Soulsorter of the gods."
Domains... Everything under Community, everything under law, the memory subdomain under knowledge,fate under the luck domain.Legislation under the rune domain.

To say Joseph is surprised by the gradual but certain transformation of Agnes would be an understatement. He notices it, of course. He's good at that sort of thing.
"Nice office, Miss... is it miss? Soulsorter of the gods.I have a lot of questions when you're ready but I know what it is like to be back logged."
Inside he's panicking a bit, but the semi familiarity of the environment helps. I THINK I'm dead. Oh poor Mildred. I finally grow a spine and what happens? Bad Sushi.
"Oh dearie feel free to ask away I can do this job in my sleep nothing but time here anyway."
She winked... and her hair was down and longer. was that a hint of jasmine in a perfume?
Joseph smiles, then remembers the morbidity of the situation, "Did I die? I'm pretty sure I did" He takes a number if he hadn't already, and continues "And, where am I? And, what am I hear for? Your name makes me think my soul is to be sorted? Am I going to hell?" The fellow sounds worried, "I tried to be good but I let a lot of evil happen when I shouldn't have." Guilt stabs at him there.

"You my dear are in the Office of the Eternal Queue. and yes you died. gut explosion you really shoudln't trust gas station sushi. Those poor EMT's They should retire that ambulance. You have been chosen by one of the gods of Melvaun. Theres a bit of trickery afoot in the lands and by prophecy one not of the world has to solve it.... so they choose you. Why you? I dont know you will have to ask them when you see them.:
She answered slipping you a token. she winked and nodded at a vending machine down one of the infintesimal hallways.
Interesting, ok I may have to use alt heritage then hehe.
Joseph winces at the thought of those poor poor EMTs. No doubt his body expelled the equivalent of a war crime in their vicinity. "One of the gods, ahem." He looks utterly stunned by that, but nods after a moment , takes the token and heads towards the Vending Machine "Then I .. look forward to meeting him or her. Let me know if I need to sign anything."
Then he rises to use the vending machine.

The vending machine looked old, a light sheen of dust covered the buttons. the coin slot beckoned for the token she handed you. inside the machine was ------
A bag of crisps(potato chips) called Cartharsis crunch!
A canned mocha with the Melancholy name brand
a canned soda called "Dramaliths Dreamy draught... cream flavored!!!
An oat bar - "The revoluntinary Overeaction Oat bar!
A tin container of mints it appears open and only one mint remains inside, Its label reads "passive-aggresive flavor!
a Bag of gummies = fainting fruit gummies
Another can it looks pretentious - it reads "Tears of unread poetry"
A plastic wrapped scone - labeled "scandalous"
another bag of crisps (rice chips!) - "labeled Velvet Curtain brand.. they are sour cream flavored
a plastic bottle thats almost translucent - Ghosted grape juice!
its seems your token gives you one choice.
Cartharsis has more than one meaning, and perhaps one of those meanings escapes McCoy. All he knows is Chips sound sound safer than Gas Station Sushi. So he uses the token which comes in with klunk and spits out a bag of Cartharsis Crunch! He opens it, and tries a few. They do make a crunch sound.
The Crisps of Catharsis taste like the moment you finally cry after holding it in for days—bittersweet, salty, and strangely cleansing.
- First bite: A sharp tang of vinegar and regret, like rereading an old letter you never sent.
- Mid-chew: A mellow umami of understanding, like realizing the villain had a point.
- Aftertaste: A whisper of lavender and ash, soothing and smoky, like the last line of a tragic play.
They crunch like breaking tension. They dissolve like closure. And somehow, they always leave you feeling just a little more seen.
Joseph finds he can't eat just one. And looks embarrassed after he's emptied the bag. If he just been more brave, but that doesn't mean he can't be now.

The grenade-seeking bullet puncture his chest and his last thoughts are "Acme physics!" before his body explodes and covers the trunks of the nearby trees.
"Well, that didn't work, at all, did it?" Dilton looks around to see he is a strange room with the largest dwarf he's ever seen. More like a dwarf out of Tolkien's work than Tyrion Lannister.
Dilton raises his arm and waves at the dwarf and the woman, "Hello. Where are we?" The first thing he noticed when he raised his arm is the fringed jean jacket that is sequined with star sapphires of various colours....and then he noticed his hand was furred!! "What in the Tazmanian Devil have you you done to me?!!"
The woman points to the ticket machine and tells him to take a number and wait to be called.
Confused, Dilton walks over to take a number, and then sees his reflection in the mirrored surface...he was in a different body...the face staring back at him made him think of the last living thing he was looking at through the scope of his gun..."Bad news. I am a walking and talking rodent and dressed like the Rhinestone Cowboy. Good news....good news..." Dilton investigates and sees that he has gun belt with a holstered gun...with a dragon motif design and a flared muzzle like a musket. "I have a gun...that might not explode me like my last one did."
He sits down with his number and takes the gun out and examines it while he waits for his number to be called...
"Oh a rik chik chik! I havent seen one of those demi's in ages. here have a few nuts cutie."
The indesctriminately aged older woman said handing you a clipboard to fill out. The old woman conotined to speak.
"It seems your soul is already raring to go being all switched out like this. Strange that you have a weapon all ready those are not normally allowed until you've been processed. must be a special case then."
Jadis seem to gasp for air, she felt like she was freezing, wet, uncomfortable. But it only lasted a few seconds as she looked And saw she was completely dry. As she got her bearings, she saw the ticket counter and took a number and sat down. Her mind not catching up yet to what was going on. Instinctively she reaches for her pockets to try and find her set of dice
@Aiko and McCoy
She kinda opposes both, it could be a fun dynamic to RP once this gets going
Well it's ISEKAI so some inter team comic conflict is I think fun. Also our PCs are not a bunch of Waifus and some shut-in over devine gifted kid. AHaha all out PCs are ISEKAI'ed so we can all come with a heros view points.
I mean you can trust someone who looks like this.
Need some randomness yes. Though I am also aiming, of that would be possible in this game, to fully become a Valkyrie. :)
It was by accident that I made her originally from Scotland and then went ganzi.
So yey random dice rolls to get her like this
Dilton Hero Forge mini with 'rhinestone cowboy' jacket, gun, gun bandolier & holster.
Aaaaaaaaallllllllviiiiiiiiiiin!
Okay. Awesome. But I read up on them, and it kinda fits the random/chaos thing going on with the boons from both her death and toasteron
Stats are up and she's good to get things going Rolls Dice
@Aiko and McCoy

*Sniffle* Hurtful
;)
In truth, McCoy is a mystery even to me. He's a small frustrated man who valued the rules only to see them twisted, corrupted, or ignored and he was too scared and powerless to do much about it. Now he's going to have some power and will try to be braver.
I hope he'll be something of a 'bad ass power fantasy' with a slightly whimsical and bureaucratic vibe. Akin to Judge Dredd meets Hermes from Futurama.
Heh
She's chaos. Law is boring and too restricting. Leave it up to chance

"Oh... drat. A rikchikchik hero would have been interesting."
Agnes said from behind the counter. The dice that Jadis rolled tumbled on the secretaries desk the dice slowly slowing their roll to a ..... they faded away before Jadis could read them. Yjey reappaered in Agnes' hand.
"Rule number 159b No Gambling devices in the waiting room or in your reassment facility. your gambling devices will be returned after assessment. Please finish filling out you clipboard."
"Heeeeeey!" she groaned but she does finish filling in the form and then pushes the form and pen back to her
"There. Happy now?"

"WHy yes i am always happy here at my job. Though i do go on break soon. Let me file this then head on down the left hallway just past the snack machine... it will be the door on the right."
The elder woman looking Physchocomp began efficiently filing a copy of your paperwok in her filing cabinent and handing you back the CLipbaord. As you walked down the hallway suddenly from the opposite hall you could hear what sounded like a underground rave going off loud Pulsing EDM music blasting... until Agnes waved her hands and the noise vanished.
The door in front of you hade a large sticker the size of your fist on it. A toaster with big blue eyes two peices of perfectly browned toast shooting up from its top. The door wasnt locked.
