[ 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!]

D) WILDCARD

[ does vox need even more reason to kill alastor? yes, absolutely, always. fuck that fucken guy! ] Oh, I know who I'm talking t- [ he's getting whiplash for the tone of the conversation shifting back and forth, but that's just making it more exciting, intense, and enticing... as expected of any conversation he has with val. ]

[ vox steels his expression. he's not happy about the lack of a contract with angel dust, since that's just going to mean occasional temper tantrums, but he does hate that stupid whore. ] ... [ blood sprays on his face when val obliterates the hellhound, so he's forced to take out a handkerchief and wipe it away. ]

Try not to worry too much, Val. [ he kicks the corpse away and throws an arm around val, tugging him close. ] We'll figure something out. We're resourceful, right? so he's not going to stay free for long. [ and if the solution is kill him, then vox can take care of that with pleasure. ]

[ He's a heaving, panting mess... and the locals around them have learned not to mess with the evident power couple who have chosen the battlefield as their place of reunion. They're backing off, finally giving Val a chance to catch his breath. And just as well, too. He's settled as soon as tugged, pressed right against his flat faced prince. ]

Already two steps ahead of you, baby... I've been busy, you know.

[ He straightened up, ruffling his wings before folding them back around himself in its familiar coat form before he pulled his cigarette holder out. ]

Already casting some new stars for my new... entertainment venture.

[ Be proud. Light him. ]

[ he looks relieved that the locals have opted to fuck off, because while he doesn't doubt that val had things under control it would be advantageous to gang up on and ( attempt to ) beat the shit out of an overlord. more of those little shits were beginning to show up, and it wouldn't be out of the question for a turning of the rides. ]

Good, now that's what I want to hear. [ his smile broadens as he fixes his fluffy neck collar right before he stands to full height and re-adjusts his wings. ] Oh? And what's this new venture?

[ he snaps his fingers to form a spark at the tip of his cigarette, a little heart rising out of the smoke the following instant. ]

[ God he felt sooooo much better after finally being able to vent. Literally tearing into some hapless sinner really was the best way to let off steam. Just as good as sex, if he was to ask anyone.

And nothing's better after that than his mandatory post-excitement cigarette. He pauses just to be able to inhale and let out an exhale of his signature smoke. Mhm. Vox is back too. He's on cloud-fucking-nine right now. There's a smirk as he glanced back at the other overlord. ]

Talent management.

[ He says it so casually. ]

Marketing a pop idol currently. Can't get these guys to get in front of a camera so I'm getting them in front of an audience at least.

[ A shrug. ]

We'll cross that bridge when we get there. But she signed her soul to me and everything... all for that taste of fame. Fucking predictable, right?

A great start. [ he seems pleased that his cohorts have already started rebuilding their empire. they might have been reduced to nothing, but that's not going to stop them in their pursuit of power. he can't see it taking them too long to claw their way back up to the TOP. the throne of hell is theirs. ]

Might as well see what their potential market appeal is. I know some demons will jerk it to anything but you'll need to find a replacement money-maker until we can figure out how to rectify the [ he has to visibly refrain from sighing. ] contract situation. [ ie. angel dust. ]

Ha. [ he doesn't seem surprised. ] As always. I get the feeling that this Hell will be full of even more saps willing to fork over their souls for attention, which brings me to Velvette's idea. Did she run Afterlife's Got Talent by you?

With the diagrams and everything , cariño. I have to say, I'm loving the vision.

[ Another pause for him to let out a drag.

Velvette had mentioned it as something they should get working on when Vox got here and... here he was. His own studio reclamation plans have been put on hold at the moment after all. These locals weren't as good as what he had back home but... one makes do with what one has. ]

There's bound to be one or two, hell a whole handful of attention seekers looking for a break, no? At this rate, we'll be back on top before anyone can even blink.

[ Then Angel would have to watch his back. ]

I'll have to ask her for the full presentation. [ he does like it, and he's interested to know all the details, so he can help her bring her vision to life. ] And that is very true. Always have been and always will be.

I'm already trying to rope in a few people, but we'll see how that goes. We can't have that p̷̬͔̺̱̯̗͍͙̐͑͊̇̈́͊̐̕r̵̜̳̲͊͌̋͒͊̀̈́̕͝͝i̸͓̱̳͔̊͜ç̵̛̗̯͚̳͇̅̔̈̈́͒́̓́̿̓̔̍͐̍͝ͅk̷̛̜̩̥̜͍͚̩̰̙͍̣̥̬͛̃̓̐̊̋̕͠ Alastor taking all the talent. [ MONOPOLOZING THAT SHIT IS THEIR JOB! ]

You should show me the place you've been working out of. [ so he can find some lesser demons and imps to recruit to build it up and make it better. he doesn't like the idea of working out of a dump. ]

With that little idea of Velvette's, they'll be coming to us and we won't even have to lift a finger.

[ he's just slowly sliding one of his lower arms around Vox, using the other to tip his monitor up. As much as he hated to admit it... he missed him. That touch is brief though. Not gonna linger too long. Not yet at least. ]

Once we're settled in, I'll try to sit through a full presentation. For you, mi amor.

[ There's a small sigh there. ]

It's no V Tower... yet... but... we've managed to find a place. Velvette spotted it, we raided. Like old times.

It's a great idea, and if anybody gives us shit, then we'll just convince them another way. [ vox is certain that the three of them will have absolutely no problems culling the herd of masterless cattle now grazing in hell. ]

[ this is dangerous, val. you're covered in blood, and your clothes are a mess, ...vox was already having a hard time keeping his hands off of you. ]

Maybe if I can tire you out it won't be so difficult. [ he smirks, but val's exasperation has it fading shortly after. ] All we need is a foundation. We'll have V Tower again soon enough.

You know what it takes to tire me out, cariño...

[ There was a purr in his voice even as he's back to sliding one of his lower arms around Vox's waist. He's never had any qualms about touching, after all. ]

Let's go. These chumps are getting boring. They crumple too easy.

[ he sure fucken DOES. he smirks, ] Of course, Val, ...we have to make up for lost time, don't we, ..?

[ he moves closer to valentino, ] We'll have to find some sturdier demons for you to kill. I'm sure that won't be that hard. We did it once and we'll do it again.

[ There's a chuckle as he faces Vox, his fingers lightly trailing over the bottom of his screen to tip it up slowly with the smallest purr. ]

Not to mention you're here now... Maybe I'll find some other way to distract myself, no...?

[ He's an easy bug to please. ]

You wanted to see the new place? Still getting work done so I'm still slumming it back at the hotel.

[ yes yes yES YES. fuck all those whores,
except not literally. pay attention to HIM. ]

I think we should... break in the new place. [ he doesn't need a bed. ]

How about we find ourselves some workers? [ is he going to hypnotize randos on the streets to make them tidy up their new place in addition to, well, whatever the fuck else they want. absolutely. and he'll even let val kill them afterward. it's not like they need the little fuckers tattling. ]

Break in the place before Velvette finds out I've already given you the tour...?

[ There's a low chuckle punctuating that soft purr as he slid that hand juuust a bit lower for a quick assgrab before starting to lead Vox along away from the carnage. ]

We've got some help... [ small hand gesture ]

Not as good as the bitches we've got back home but they're.... eh. Good enough.

And now we have more. [ manual labor, mostly. he's not looking for talent right now. ]

But, yes, Val... if it's got to be cleaned, then we might as well fuck it up just a little bite more. [ literally. ] Keep that up and we won't make it to the new place.

Who says we have to..?

[ But he knows better... and it's a sort of vanity that has him wanting to show the new place off. He's been working on the interior decorating, after all. If they don't have their tower back, the least he could do is recreate their elaborate, cozy little penthouse lounge with what this counterfeit hell has to offer.

But the assgrab is short lived and that wandering arm slides around Vox's waist for a quick hug. ]

...maybe I missed that flat face more than I knew. Go figure.

...let's not give these pathetic little shits a show without charging. [ so even if he's tempted ( because val IS tempting ) he's not going to act on his own desires until they're behind closed doors. and certainly not just because they can't market it. he has a reputation to rebuild, and he doesn't want anybody to know ( and exploit ) that val drives him crazy ( affectionate ). ]

[ wow, stop making him feel things. ] And I missed you too, Val. [ he winds his own arms around val, walking his claws up his back as he sends subtle little tingles up his spine. ] You're one of a kind. [ and while he shouldn't indulge... he really can't help himself. he kisses him, mouths clashing for a kiss that's all tongue and teeth. ]

[ What the fuck was he thinking. Of course, of course his earlier encounter with the Radio Demon was nothing more than bluster. Of course Vox wouldn't ditch him the minute he got his hands on fucking Alastor. He kind of even feels a little bad for doubting him.

Just a little. It was nothing more than a lapse in judgement, a little impulsive emotional moment... as he's usually prone to.

And no, you stop making him feel things. Apparently being away from his.... partner... for even a month has been making him feel even more sentimental than usual. It's been a month. They've never been apart for a month in... forever. Actually, he can't recall the last time they were.

So the kiss is returned, his claws tipping that monitor up so he can deepen it as his lower arms slide around the other's waist to bring him close. It's more eager this time, more of a sign of how much he really has missed his partner in crime. After all, Valentino has never been one for words. Action. Always about the action. ]

Oh you sweet talker... you really know how to make a guy feel special, don't you...?

[ He can't help the little purr as he winds Vox's good antenna around one finger playfully. ]

Well... let's get going. I'm sure you're eager to have your hands all over our newly acquired territory. [ A smirk. ] And me.
