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!]

[ look, fizz may not be up to date on sinner shit. hell, you could call him sheltered, despite everything, but when he wheels around to glare at the guy with the weird fucking voice (look who's talking), he pauses. yeah, okay, he knows an overlord when he sees one.

anyway! he just crosses his arms over his chest instead of tossing aborted obscenities his way. ]


Yeah, yeah, laugh it up.
deerlisteners: (that it would surely be)

[he chuckles again. Good to see that his reputation proceeds him once again]

I mean, you are a clown, right? Isn't that your job? To make people laugh? And now you come with a built in gag! Hilarious!
twominutes: (005)

[personal profile] twominutes 2024-03-19 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
Clownery is an art, not a built-in gag!

[ how dare he!!! but like, he's still scary so fizz isn't going to tell him to absolutely fuck right off the face of hell, heaven, and the garden. ohhhh, but he wants to. ]
deerlisteners: (you're a big shot here)

[personal profile] deerlisteners 2024-03-21 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
"Art", hm? Is it art like splattering paint on a canvas is considered "modern" art? [he waves a hand dismissively] There is nothing that finds its home in a circus that can be even remotely considered art. Entertainment, yes. Art? Harumph.

[ fizz, who has put his entire life and being and purpose into being a clown, is genuinely upset by this commentary, but he bites back his anger in favor of a flat: ]

If it wasn't hard work, if it wasn't art, then anyone could do it.
deerlisteners: (and guarantee it)

[personal profile] deerlisteners 2024-03-27 04:30 am (UTC)(link)
Hold on there, clown. I didn't say it wasn't hard work. Anyone could do it, but they may not be able to do it well. But skilled labor and art are not the same.
twominutes: (030)

[personal profile] twominutes 2024-03-27 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
You really haven't seen people fail at being clowns, huh? No, not everyone could do it. Not even if you take into account them not doing it well.

[ a huff of breath. ]

Color me reeeaaal curious. What is art to you, then?
deerlisteners: (I'm not dead)

THIS TOOK ME SO LONG

[personal profile] deerlisteners 2024-03-30 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
[oh, what a loaded question that is!]

Hm. [minecraft hm] What is... art... [he actually seems genuinely introspective, twirling his cane and looking inward] Saying what art "isn't", well. It's much easier, isn't it? But to define it... art...! [he curls his hand into a claw to punctuate the word]

Art requires imagination. It invokes emotion! It's beautiful, or it makes you think. It contains a bit of the soul of the artist. It can be entertaining... but not always. And not every bit of entertainment isn't necessarily art. For example... some films are art! But other films are just mindless drivel. I'll be honest -- clownery may be the same as film! In that some is art and some is just simple entertainment!

[he's managed to turn his back to Fizzarolli while talking and gesturing wildly. Then he pauses and turns back around, his smile a bit... embarrassed?]

I'll be honest, I've never seen your work! [he shrugs!!!] Articles in the paper, but not much else. We don't get much media from the other rings up in Pride, and even if we did, I don't pay much attention to the idiot box.
