[ SEE GAME NAVIGATION TO READ UP ON HECK GAME BEFORE PLAYING IF YOU SO DESIRE ]

A) MAY I OFFER U PIE IN THIS TRYING TIME(GARDEN LEVEL)
[OOPS YOU DIED. WELCOME TO THE GARDEN OF GOOD AND EVIL. If you're new here, have a sheep cherub or imp slap a "HI MY NAME IS--" sticker on you, and frantically explain "DON'T WORRY, WE'RE WORKING ON IT, WE'LL HAVE YOU OUT HERE....AT...SOME POINT..." Wack. Also, you may noticed that your body may or may not have changed. What's up with that??? Who cares, at least you have as spiffy new cell phone! You're also told you're free to take the elevators up to Heaven or down to Hell. Good luck!

In the mean time--join the garden party that's going on! Or at least, it seems like a party?? Except all they are serving is pie. Apple pie. Blueberry pie. The classics. For you more Carnivorous types, there's stuff like mince pie, and...the name is smudged, but maybe don't eat that one unless you're a cannibal.

But along with a variety of normal pies, if you accidentally eat a weird pie, your character might experience the following:
Vinegar Pie - It's tasty but suddenly you're compelled to blurt out an Insult or ruthlessly tease the next person you see.
"Sweet" Potato - If you're a normally grumpy or aggro character, this pie will suddenly make you want to be more affectionate! This can be anything from wanting to hold hands or saying genuine nice things.
Humble Pie - Suddenly you feel complimenting or praising others and might downplay your own achievements, or insult yourself.

You can probably shake off the effects, but hey. Free pie!! ]


B) LETS GET READY TO RUMBLE (HELL LEVEL)
[TIME TO EXPLORE. Today in the Hell Level, the Hotel (Ho-hell? Helll-tel? Okay just Hotel) it's time for spring cleaning! Wait, didn't they just have that? An Imp says yes, but this is a different type of cleaning. Time to TAKE OUT THE TRASH!!!!

Which is to say, out of no where you might receive a PUNCH in the face by a local, or an imp! If the latter it's like being bapped by a sick little lamb. Still, even if a local punches you, you suddenly heal immediately? That's right, TODAY ONLY, this is a 'get into a scrap injury free' spring holiday, and you can rough house as much as you want with each other today in the Hotel, and NO DAMAGE will remain! Ever wanted to get cut in half and suddenly stitch back together? WELL TODAY'S YOUR LUCKY DAY.

If you're not into PG rated guro however, why don't you try exploring:
-The clubs! The nightlife in hell is FANTASTIC and genuinely fun!
-Games! Along with casinos galore, there are also normal arcades! Any game you can imagine, it exists.
-Or explore parts of Hell's Hotel that don't involve getting into a dogpile! ]


C) MARCH COMES IN LIKE....(HEAVEN LEVEL)
[TODAY IN HEAVEN THOUGH, there are advertisements for the ZOO!! A zoo in heaven?? Fuck yea!! But when you get there you see nothing but...........lions. And lambs. Just, everywhere. They aren't fighting though, but being super cute and soft and have tiny wings. You can pet them and pick them up--well the lambs at least. The lion might crush you. But you're dead anyway so give it a shot champ!!

Local angels explain that every 'spring' the zoo does this, and it's a sign of good fortune! You might wonder why you need good fortune in Heaven, but fuck it, when it Rome!! If you stick around long enough the zoo will change back to 'normal' and you can find other animals to gawk at.

If zoos aren't your thing though, check out heaven's:
-BEACH!! How is there an ocean and sandy white beach in the sky! Who cares, it's heaven! Beach episode time!
-Coffee shops! There are no coffee shops in hell! LIVE YOUR COFFEE AU DREAMS.
-Or just explore the Heavenly hotel in general!]

[twominutes]

[ well, at least he's being paid attention to and answered, even if this guy doesn't know where asmodeus is. or who he is, probably. and yeah, sure, he's getting pretty despondent about that, but maybe some conversation will help relax him. at least this guy seems chill (?) at least for now. ]

Sorry, sorry, I'm kind of freaking out here. I haven't been this far from him in... Well, almost a decade.

[ he chews on the inside of his cheek, then continues. ]

His name's Asmodeus, he's the Sin of Lust back home. [ a beat, and he finally just says it: ] He's my boyfriend. Business partner. Business boyfriend. Look, we're dating and we work together.

[grumpface]

[Husk does notice the tail curling around the leg.]

If Asmodeus was here, he'd probably be really p♠♦♦♥♣ off and uncomfortable. But maybe these ♥♦♣♠in' cherubs are right and you'll be back in the hell we're supposed to be in really soon. No use havin' a panic attack in an unfamiliar place.

[Husk knows that Fizz hasn't reached that level yet, but there's still a chance of that happening. He sets a comforting paw on the jester imp's shoulder.]

Just take deep breaths if you feel like you're about to explode or somethin'.

[bugbeverage]

[ Instead of being annoyed, Beetlejuice waggles his eyebrows and catches his tongue in his teeth.]

If you want, big guy!

[bugbeverage]

[ Beetlejuice mimes snatching her kiss out of the air and planting it against his own lips before letting out a little yip of laughter when she tugs the hat over his eyes. He's quick to lift it back up and give her a grin that dimples his whiskery cheeks. ]

Hey, if this place blows, I could show you a good time! You look like a gal with class. I can do class. I can also do all the positions baby, you just name it.

[bugbeverage]

[ BJ blows out a breath, his lips flapping as he rolls his eyes. ]

Fine, your loss.

[ But then Blitzo outfits him with a challenge. A strange one. An easy one. It can't be that easy. Or maybe he's been alone so long that he isn't aware of just how grating his voice can be. Either way, if it gets him through the door he's willing to do it. ]

[ And so he opens his mouth and replies with Blitzo's own voice. ]

You got it, buddy!

[twominutes]

[ a sloooow squint. ]

I've heard better come-ons.

[bugbeverage]

[ Beetlejuice flings his arms forward and them drops them at his sides. ]

Oh, gimmi a break, I had a long day! You do one better! I'm waiting!

[twominutes]

He's probably really worried about me. He doesn't like not knowing where I am... I'm always able to call or text him. I just... I'm never away from him for very long. Yeah, I hope I can go home soon. That everyone that wants to go home can, I guess. This place sucks.

[ he jumps a little at the touch, conditioned to be wary of unfamiliar touches, but it doesn't progress from that and he slumps a little. ]

Yeah. Yeah, I can do that. ... Sorry, I didn't even ask you your name.

[grumpface]

Husk. It's alright.

If you're up for it, I can take over some bar in hell and mix up a nice drink for you. Heaven's not really my style.

[twominutes]

You're not an imp, you don't get to talk ████.

[ why the fuck does she look more relaxed now that he said he's rich? god, he hates people like this. but hey, he can put on the happy clown face for a while. ]

I'm the best clown Hell's ever ████ing seen.

[ with a wide, sharp grin. he doesn't actually believe this, but he's manifesting it. sure. then: ]

I'm gonna need waaahehey more deets if you're talking about people from "that other Hell." Which guys? I'd love some names.

[twominutes]

Nice to meet ya. You can call me Fizz.

[ a beat as he considers, then gets right up out of his chair and nods. ]

Yeah. Let's get the ████ out of this place. Even if it's not the right Hell, it'll be way more familiar.

[outrageon]

[Ah yes, Velvet would respect him even more if she knew the strug, but alas. Part of putting on a front means being believed for it, and Vel isn't here to question whether or not he's actually the best.

...As if she knows anything about clowns, anyway.

Vel could list off everyone she knows, but she's lazy. She does know one name that's famous, though, one name that if they're from the same hell he's sure to know.]

'Angel Dust' ring any bells? I hear he's all the rage out there.

[twominutes]

[ all right, all right. if he had real knuckles he'd be cracking them right now. he's gonna do this. ]

It's 'cause you don't have any rizz, ███hole.

[ and then he's stepping in close, gripping beetlejuice's chin with a cool metal hand and tipping it down toward him. he makes himself a little taller too, so they're on an almost even level. look, he's short, he needs the help. ]

Well, here I am. What are your other two wishes, big guy?

Tiffa Adill | After War Gundam X | OTA

[anatani_chikarawo]

Hi, My Name Is

[ -Tiffa. Only, she's kind of glossed over the 'you died' part because she's sprouted additional body parts, and is turning and craning her neck to try and get a better look at herself.

Four narrow, feathered wings form a clear 'X' behind her, a lion tail creeps out from beneath her skirt, and her head is wreathed with a halo - it appears to be burning, with a flame like moonlight. ]

...this is... how strange...

Late Pie Day

[ The food is for all of them. That is, she doesn't need to follow any particular etiquette. Tiffa watched carefully to make sure she's not stepping on any toes before acquiring a slice of pie for herself.

Score. Sweet potato sounds nice - and it is. Should the dead be able to hunger? She found herself moderately hungry regardless, and put it away a bit quickly...

While Tiffa didn't tend to come across as grumpy, exactly, she tended to be very particular about her was allowed to touch her - so finding herself reaching for a nearby stranger's hand without thinking about it is confusing. ]

Lion Not Lyin'

You're so kind...

[ Being friendly with animals was a lot more comfortable.

Of course, Tiffa knew not to cuddle a predator, but once she was convinced that she wouldn't be devoured she ended up happily clinging to one of the strangely friendly lions. ]

It's a shame... that this is only for now.

A

[anatani_chikarawo]

It does appear to be a mistake.

[ That was confusing. Dead was dead, right? But they were the experts on how dead dead was. Tiffa planned to not be dead, at least for quite a while longer, so she had to assume that this was right. ...right? ]

B

[killyoupamyupamyu]

They aren't even staying chopped up!

[ ...this seems to offend Micha. The light clacking of her doll-joints is drowned out enough to kind of hide that she's not made of flesh herself if he's not looking closely.

What's worse is that they went and modified her - a canine muzzle? Instead of her cute face?? The tail is kind of cute but Master didn't put it on her.

Micha put blood on herself though. That's... all the blood splattered around her is how she blows off steam. So. ]

[bugbeverage]

[ BJ's mossy brows spring up in surprise as he feels the caress of an unfeeling mechanical hand. His eyes flutter a little. It's something! He'll take it! He has to shake his head to bring himself back to his senses.]

Ohohoho! Good one! You've done this before! My turn.

[ The angel sweeps Fizzarolli up with both hands and whirls around with him before leaning him down into a dip. A rose appears with a fart sound and he catches it in his teeth before bouncing his brows.]

Eh? Eh? Pretty good?

[twominutes]

Well, when you live in the lust ring...

[ okay his arms flail a little when he's abruptly manhandled much more than he just manhandled beetlejuice, and his eyes go a little wide—but the stupid fart sound makes him laugh despite himself, covering his mouth with a hand to hide how wide his grin is spreading. ]

Childish, but points for creativity.

[bugbeverage]

[ The laugh has him grinning victoriously. He starts to chew the rose and it slowly disappears into his mouth where he swallows it. ]

Hey, you're only as old as you feel! Tell me about this lust ring. Sounds like my kinda place.

[ He leans back up and releases Fizzarolli. Beetlejuice preens a little, adjusting his halo and smoothing out his sequined tie. ]

[twominutes]

[ fizz dusts himself off once he's back on the ground, then arches an eyebrow slightly. ]

I mean, it's the ring of Hell that's based around lust. Asmodeus runs the place, he's the Sin of lust. [ he sounds DREAMY when he says it. absolutely smitten. ] Anyway, it's about what it sounds like! The clubs, the sex scene, toy factories, all that. There are non-sex things, obviously, but the overall theme, you know? I've lived there for a hot minute, so I've heard it all.

[bugbeverage]

[ Beetlejuice nods as he listens. He's instantly jealous. What a place to live! But he's reminded that now he can freely roam and talk to people and get into all kinds of mischeif! At least for now. What if...they fixed the mistake. Oh no! No, no, no, he doesn't want to go back to the world of the living!]

[ His eyes drift slightly apart as he follows this train of thought.]

No kiddin...

[ He recollects himself and shoves his hands in his pockets. A thought crosses his mind amidst the cobwebs. Fizzarolli said he'd been born in his version of Hell. Didn't sound like he got to see much of the heavyside layer. ]

I'm banned from the zoo but I heard there are some pretty sweet spots Upstairs. Anybody gives you any trouble for bein' outta your neighborhood I'll kill 'em.

[twominutes]

Wow, uh... [ why is he blushing about that?! maybe it's the fact that fizz can't fight to save his life, literally, that gets him a little flustered when someone says they'll protect him.

he's soooooo glad his makeup covers more than all his scarring. ] ... Really nice of you.

I'm... technically an angel now, I guess, but it feels wrong up there, and my best friend is still down here, so I've been kind of... Hanging out down here even though I stick out like nobody's business now. I don't belong up there anyway. Besides, what if I'm up there and I miss Asmodeus?

[bugbeverage]

Well hey! I don't know how long I got in this dimension! Fuck me if I'm gonna piss it all away by myself!

[ He doesn't have anybody to miss so he can't really relate. But he's enjoying his time with this pointy little clown man. He doesn't want it to end. ]

Big fan of this guy, huh?

Garden; I HAD TO. She got the soap and the hose you dirty mofo

[orkin]

[ How else is she going to give him a bath if she doesn't stand close enough to get to him?

Without warning, the sound of two buckets of water hitting the ground comes from behind BJ. If he turns around, he'll find the pocket-sized Sinner standing there with a loofah, a bar of soap and an unparalleled sense of determination on her face. As if she were wielding a blade, she thrusts it skyward and points it at him. ]

No dirt in the house! You've gotta be clean!

[ Her battle cry uttered she dunks the loofah in the water, suds it up, and proceeds to lunge at him while giggling like a maniac. ]

huehuehue

[bugbeverage]

[ The ka-thunk and ker-slosh does get his attention. He was thinking hard about that pie but he twists his head one hundred and eighty degrees to look at her. He hardly has time to process what he's seeing before she pounces. ]

EEEYYYAAAAAAGHHH!

[ BJ's body spins around to match the direction his head is facing and he throws up his arms to defend himself but it is just too fucking late. He falls backwards into the table splattering delicious pie everywhere. ]
