[ 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!]

... That explains it.

[ Turning to face him... ] I have no idea how far in the future it happens for you, but at one point humanity went extinct due to rising sea levels and total warfare. Thousands of years later, sea creatures like jellyfish and cephalopods emerged from the oceans and evolved to take humanity's place.

[ All of this said matter-of-factly, like they're summarizing ancient history for a youtube video. ]

Hell(o) Level l-late forgive me

[orkin]

[ Did she call for fun?

There is a girlish shriek followed by another one as two men from the back of the bar run by the bar so fast that one slams into it while his partner in crime manages to escape. What is chasing them? It appears to be an adorable little girl dressed in an adorable maid outfit but what she lacks in size she more than makes up for in speed.

Like a cat pouncing on a mouse, she propels herself skyward and lands on the crumpled man's back. Rather than attack him, she giggles and pokes her finger against his cheek. ]

Tag! You're it!

[ One would think the boogeyman himself had just descended on the man with the way he shrieks, flings her off of his shoulder and makes a clumsy beeline for the door to get away with his friend. Oh, look, there is a lady at the bar too! She scurries over, looking up at her with a few wordless blinks before grinning. ]

They don't play tag very well, I'll get them next time!

[princess_of_hell]

The pain from the rock will be forgotten! The hurt feelings from the act can be forgiven!

[orkin]

It's okay, Alastor fixed it! [ Are those words you ever want to hear? Never and, worse yet, she doesn't immediately elaborate on how he did so.

Could be homicide, could be cannibalism or he could have just been a swell guy and used his power to prevent them from taking her stuff. ]

[saltsplash]

[Reigen rubs his head... the fur covers it as well as his hair, but the scar is definitely still there.]

A crack to the skull like that could kill you! A concussion at best.

[orkin]

In his room! Do you wanna visit him?

[ No matter what answer he gives; she's going to reach one of those tiny hands up in an attempt to grab one of his hands. Does she know he isn't a toucher? Yes. Does she care? Absolutely not, she has been sans Husk for a whole month and she might have missed his grumpiness.

A lot. ]

I already put it under his door, you'll have to wait. [ But she's still grinning like she stole something. ]

[not_a_possum]

[After bumping into her, Moxxie begins to quickly backpedal.]

Uh...no. No I am not. Like I said before, I'm married, and very much not interested.

[His eyes start darting around quickly, trying to identify the fastest escape. This time he can't just run out a door to the safety of Blitzø and Millie.]

[orkin]

No idea!

[ SO. HELPFUL. ]

He tried to shoot me in the face. [ Tried being the keyword, she even reaches into a pocket in her apron to produce the bullet she saved. It's her newest treasure, she is absolutely clutching it like it's the Holy Grail. ]

I told him he had to try harder next time.

[princess_of_hell]

[Charlie chooses to believe the nicest option... while also knowing it's probably the more sadistic option.]

Aw, that's sweet! Just like him. --But, we'll still do the lesson, okay?

[She saw Niffty stealing stuff at the club.]

We just need to find a new space.

[princess_of_hell]

Well... okay. Let's get to know each other instead. I think introductions are in order! Especially after you got me out of there, right? You really saved me, so... can I know more about you?

[orkin]

It's okay, I'll make sure you get one later!

[ Later as in.. right now, because the second he turns his attention elsewhere she whips a secret flyer out and promptly attaches it to.. the back of his face like a big fat bumper sticker. Oh, look, it didn't immediately burn like the other ones did.

Is that an adhesive on it? Could be. She is nothing if not a dutiful minion, he told her to hand them out to everyone and by golly, everyone is getting one whether they like it or not. To add insult to injury: ]

I have to go get more flyers! Bye Mr. TV Man, I'll tell him about your show!

[grumpface]

...

Fuck it. I'll come.

[Thank Lucifer that Charlie isn't Angel.]

[princess_of_hell]

[There'd be a 'fuck it' joke in there otherwise.]

You will...? Really?

[nestingdevil]

[As soon as Fizz takes the cigarette, the Sin pulls his hand away, letting the fumes drift in between his fingers like ribbons.] Like I said, don't mention it. Looked to me like you could use it. [The smoke in his mouth bobs while he talks; the burnt-orange tip swaying and dipping to the mercy of his teeth. He doesn't miss the censoring part, but the imp's slight wince is enough of a tell that keeping his mouth shut on the matter is probably best.]

[Greed inhales, dragging a fresh burn deep into his chest.] Hmn? [A hint of surprise touches his face, only to be broken apart again when he suddenly leans over with a barking laugh.] Not very subtle, was she? But you're right - I'm Greed. [He wraps two of his four hands between the bottom of his ribcage and the top of his hips and settles them there.] Gunna guess you're from that other Hell then, right? A couple of people here have mentioned it before -

[And while avarice can be wild, insane is a little much, even for him. Sure, he's got a hunger that's never quite satisfied, but there are certain rules. Certain lines, certain bridges, even he won't cross.]

[Greed rolls one of his feet forward to lift his heel off the concrete.] The Greed you know sounds like he doesn't get it at all if that's what you think of him. [There's a bite to his words - his smile coy, yet daring.] Glad to hear I haven't left that kind of impression yet. Would hate for someone to get the wrong idea about me.

[He pauses to pull his cigarette from his mouth and with a soft flick of his thumb, he ashes it in a nearby puddle.] You already know my name, though. Think you can tell me yours?

[orkin]

[ Ooh, it works just like bug spray does! Look at him twitch, it's like watching the last feeble struggle from a cockroach before it dies.

Instead of chasing him, as she's already completed the task she set out to do, she settles for waving at his frame as it starts to disappear from view. For being so tiny, her voice sure carries. ]

You're welcome, sir!

WELCOME WELCOME

[dirtyfanny]

[The collision with the bar sloshes a bit of orange liquid out of Bulma's glass, and she sits upright instantly. Her straw dangles from the edge of her lip, drink abandoned in favor of making sure this developing situation doesn't turn on her somehow. Thankfully it doesn't, it just gets. Weird. She can deal with weird, though. Poorly, mind you, but sufficiently capable. It all seems to iron itself out, though, when the man runs away. End scene...]

[Bulma blinks down at the small girl, eyes wide as saucers. Her words catch up with her slowly, and even then she's not sure what to say. So she opts for--]

...I think they might see you coming next time.

[dirtyfanny]

[Bulma is suddenly bashful, laughing to herself and stirring her drink with her bendy straw. It's a childish image.]

Ooooh you know... this and that... that and this...

[She giggles and waves her hand in the air in front of her, as if dismissing her own thoughts.]

That doesn't matter, though! "All good things" or something like that! I want to see what the afterlife has to offer while I'm here. This place is like one never-ending party, don't you think?

[grumpface]

[Husk sigh, irritation showing. However...]

...Yeah. Just don't turn anythin' and everythin' into an activity.

[dirtyfanny]

[Caught absolutely red-handed. Bulma glances quickly back-and-forth between Reigen and the jacket. The jacket and Reigen. Thinking, thinking...]

Oh? Oh!

[She goes for the "Silly me! I was caught in some sort of trance and am now coming to my senses!" routine. Classic. She giggles sheepishly.]

Haha oh was that-- yours? Your jacket? Your mysterious glowing object? I- I hardly even noticed its strange presence! I'm just a girl!

[princess_of_hell]

I'll put 110% into every activity we do!

[Her excitement level is 110%, at least.]

your charlie makes me laugh so much i love her

[dirtyfanny]

Please?

[The once tough-looking expression almost melts off of her face. Bulma looks like she might... cry? She looks less like a maniac and more like a teenage girl whose life revolves around embarrassment. And in a way, doesn't it? She half-groans, half-whimpers to make this known.]

Being dirty like this is the worst....

ty so much ;;

[princess_of_hell]

Aww... [Charlie's mood melts too.] It's okay... let's both go, okay? Maybe I've done enough intervention for a... few minutes.

[Yeah, she'll be back to try again. She has no idea where there'd be anything hygiene-related to be found but, step one was stop Bulma from getting more blood-soaked until she was reminded of cannibal town.]

[outrageon]

[Velvet lifts her chin as Verosika's finger twirls through her hair, giving only a flutter of her eyelashes as indication of an opinion on the motion. She isn't terribly fond of being touched by strangers but This woman, well, she might be on her level. Velvet just... has to make sure first.

(And feast her eyes she does. It's hard to miss those big doll eyes scanning and assessing Verosika toe to tip, even if Velvet keeps a smooth expression.]

A solo act!

You must have been all the rage, Verosika. Hm~ What a cute name, too.

Maybe we'll finally have some competition.

[As if she's been doing all that much yet...]

[introveert]

Okay, you got me there.

Queives? I don't think I've heard of those either, but... hopefully someone back home is able to take care of them for us while we're here?

[introveert]

[Penny's score isn't all that great either, but it did relieve some much needed pressure.]

You did pretty good! Or at least, we did about the same.

... Ok there's something I gotta confess here: your ears are really cute. Like a Buneary's. But like. Super cute.
