TDM 001!!

[ 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!]

Husk | Hazbin Hotel | Heavenbound

[grumpface]

Garden Level

[Husk never asked for this.]

[The white-and-gold colored former sinner demon is currently sitting against a wall looking disgruntled. holding a plate with a piece of sweet potato pie that he's slowly working his way through. As you approach, he notices and can't help but say-]

Wow, you're lookin' really good today. Keep it up!

[Husk, or 'HARRY' as the name tag says, blinks in surprise as if he didn't expect himn to say something like that.]

...The ♥♦♣♠ was-? What the ♥♦♣♠?

[...Or getting censored.]

Hell Level

[Now, this is something he CAN get behind! Husk sits down at the casino table, right next to you. What's an angel doing wanting to gamble...?]

Deal me in.

[Husk notices you out of the corner of his eye and smirks a little.]

...Thanks for givin' away that tell of yours.

[This angel had just sat down and he has the GALL to say he figured out one of your tells?]

Texting



un: husk

looking for everyone here that knows about charlie and her hotel i cant find it here

Text; FashionableVee

[respectless]

[She debates between whether to reply or not, but someone will regardless, so it might as well be here.]

You're in the wrong hell and you're not the only one. The fuckups are calling it a 'clerical error'.

[grumpface]

[Ah. A Vee. At least it's not Valentino.]

might as well be one since im onehundred percent certain i was a sinner before and now im a ♥♣♦♦ing angel
you the only vee here or not

[respectless]

You? An angel? LMFAO. How are you liking the retina burning decor up there?

Valentino's here as well. So's Alastor, Angel Dust, Pentious, and your stabby little friend Niffty.

[grumpface]

havent gone up there yet im not lookin for redemption

[Husk didn't choose the redemption life, the redemption life chose Husk. But also that second line told him way more than Velvette actually said. Sure, there's people he recognizes, but Sir Pentious is also included there. And "Stabby friend, Niffty"? "Stabby", huh?]

good to know theres people here i can trust rather than some laze s♠♦♥heads who did nothing but hide and watch the news

[It's not really an attempt at a direct insult to get ire or a rise, but it still had to be said, and Husk KNOWS that Velvette will come up with a decent enough defense or rebuttal against that.]

[respectless]

Let's be real, none of you would have trusted us even if we did opt to show up in front of the hotel to fight the exorcists, and Vox and Alastor on the same battlefield would have ended poorly for everyone except the exorcists. We were ready to fight if that lot came our way.

Garden

[supersaver]

[Another angel is in the garden, partaking of a much more normal slice of apple pie. She, much like most others, has animal-like traits, but is mostly human in look with the additions being a bit more subtle...other than the wings. Her legs are that of a rabbit, a brown tail poking from a hole in her skirt to accommodate, and the floppy, rabbit ears almost blend in with the color of her hair, cut into a cute bob.

Ochako has somewhat settled into this, erm...new normal she's found herself in, but it's still quite bizarre, and she's not fully on board with the idea that she's going back to the world of the living, but her hopes are still alive, just...weathering the storm, as it were. But you know what helps?

A compliment out of no where, from a delightful stranger.]

Eh? O-Oh...why, thank you so much! That's very kind of you, sir.

Re: Garden

[grumpface]

[...Husk would go on to say that he really didn't mean to say that, but he's lazy and not that petty, so eh.]

...Lemme guess. They said your ♣♥♥ died, too, huh? With they didn't choose someone with hair as nice as yours.

[??????]

[Husk groans, frustrated. He needs a fucking drink.]

1/2

[supersaver]

[Wha...What was that sound you just made with your mouth?? SIR???]

2/2

[supersaver]

[Oh, but there's another nice compliment, that's sweet, just a little embarrassing. Her hair's definitely not that nice - it's pretty plain and boring, even if she's been told it "suits her".]

Thank you, and. Um, well...y-yeah, they did. I don't exactly know how much I can take their word at face value, since it's...n-not out of the realm of possibility... [She feels a ghostly stabbing sensation, a deep pain in her abdomen, where she was stabbed before coming to this place.] But I'm trying to hope for the best.

[grumpface]

[To be fair, Husk wanted to say 'ass' that last time. Husk huffs a little.]

Their best, as of right now, ain't worth s♣♦♥ to me.

[supersaver]

[Okay, she can't not start to snicker a little bit this time around. She knows he's cursing, but clearly unable to. It's funny, and reminds her a little of her very grouchy, spiky, blond classmate.]

I understand, those two, um... [She looks back to where the sheep are literally doing nothing, and just sighs.] They're not the best ambassadors for new arrivals at all...but I was sort of in the same boat as you when I showed up. If you expect the worst, that's what you're going to get no matter what you do, so...

Try looking on the bright side, ne? Is there anything I can do to help you feel more comfortable? [She's got to pay it forward to all the people that helped her.]

Garden :>

[orkin]

[ Gross. It's not even the compliment that stuns her, it's the very heavenly color scheme he has going on here. She almost looks like she's about to start backing away when he tries to swear, and she's delighted again. Without missing a beat, she closes the distance between them and prods at his new attire incessantly.

Welcome back to your own personal Hell, Husk. ]

Hey! I didn't know your name was Harry.

[grumpface]

[......................................Hi, Niff. Husk just lets it happen.]

It ain't. It's still Husk.

Do you know what the ♠♥♣♦ is goin' on?

[look, Husk is already fed the fuck up right now. He'll ask ANYONE for answers.]

[orkin]

Did you steal Harry's nametag? Naughty boy.

[ Her smile is all teeth as she snickers and waggles a finger in the air, walking a circle around him to take in the New Husk. ]

This is a different Hell! They said we died but we really didn't, it's a clerical error! [ She glances off to the side, as if lost in thought, before continuing: ] And we shouldn't make any deals.

[ Without elaborating on the latter part, because why would she be helpful like that, she holds up her fingers and begins to rattle off names. ]

Angel and Alastor are here, too. [ And the Vees but who counts them, really? ] But the hotel isn't!

[grumpface]

[Husk blinks, letting everything except one thing slide. For now.]

Wait, back up, Niff. Why the ♣♠♥♦ shouldn't anyone make any Deals?

[orkin]

Angel said not to. They don’t count here, the deals from home.

[ For the first time since she started talking, she gives him a helpful bit of information. And also whips out her phone to show him the picture she took of Pentious the other day because clearly one should save the best for last. It was meant to be a naughty picture but she only managed to snap a picture of the top of Penny‘s head—still, the shock on his face is evident.

If the door to the room is left ajar then it is open season, she isn’t snooping if she was invited in. ]

Oh! And look who else is here! I took that.

[ No one in Hell is prouder than her right now. Go on, praise her. ]

Hell

[helluvamess]

Tell? What tell?! I don't fucking have any tells you dick-cream-licking pussy!

[Which... honestly might be true because judging from how Blitzø is holding his cards, he may not even know what the fuck he's doing at all. They're just all bunched together and it looks like he might have been trying to make a tower out of his chips rather than paying attention.]

Re: Hell

[grumpface]

[Sad for you, imp, that Husk considers all of that a tell. As in that tells him you're going to be absolutely slaughtered during this game of poker.

Husk covertly looks at his own cards, mulling over what to do in his head before he makes a low/conservative bet, setting down a couple chips into the pot.]

Re: Hell

[helluvamess]

[Blitzø whistles a tune and shoves a handful of chips in.]

The fuck is an angel doing gambling anyway?

[grumpface]

[Wow, raising that much that early, huh? Ballsy move. Husk does notice Blitzø making a nuisance of himself, but if doing so is an intentional distraction, Husk isn't fazed all that much. It takes a moment for someone other than the two to fold and another after that for the fourth person to call on the bet.]

I was a sinner before comin' here and I don't give a s♠♥♣ what I look like on the outside. I was never lookin' for redemption.

[Husk shall call as well.]

Hell— just two alcoholics hanging out

[succinainteasy]

You just sat down, angel. Is that confidence talking or bravado? It makes me wonder how often you come down here to slum it.

[ Verosika runs a hand through her hair, reaching out with the same hand after to pick up her drink and empty half of it. ]

Hopefully that tell is that I’m shit at cards, I’m much more useful in the vip suites. Find me later and maybe I’ll show you a thing or two, kitty cat.

[ She would not be showing him a good time later, she’s simply fishing at this point. Tell her your secrets, Grumpy Cat. ]

Right now I’m just killing time.

[grumpface]

[Husk's eyes briefly and instinctively flit to the succubus's drink and upon determining that it had no chance at all at being spiked, especially when half-empty, before looking at the cards he was dealt.]

It's me usually bein' a sinner stuck in Pride talkin'. If you're that s♠♥♥ at cards., here's a little tip: It's more about probability than bluffin'.

[succinainteasy]

[ Not long after he looks to her glass, she begins tracing the lip of it with a nail. ]

Ouch. Looks like they let you keep your claws but took your teeth, how am I supposed to look for your tell with that kind of distraction? Hang on—

[ When one of the staff walks by, she leans over in her chair and get his attention rather quickly. She might not be good at cards but she's damn good at pulling attention, the imp is starstruck and seems to hang on her every word. ]

I'll take another, and one for the angel. He's a friend of mine, don't fuck with his drink. Got it? [ Her well-trained smile remains in place until the imp has disappeared into the crowd, then she straightens up in her chair and crosses her legs with a hum. ]

Speaking of, what's the probability that he's gonna listen to me?

[grumpface]

That's kinda the point. You ain't supposed to. If I have one to begin with.

[Neener neener. Of COURSE Husk isn't going to let his tell be found so easily. Once done looking at his cards, he places them down on the table and sets a hand firmly down on them, smirking because he was ordered a drink unprompted.]

Your celebrity status don't mean s♠♣♥ here, but you're still a hellborn. And a succubus at that. Chances are pretty damn high.
