TDM 001!!

[heckinmods]

[ 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

Charlie Morningstar | Hazbin Hotel | Hell-raised

[princess_of_hell]

HELL LEVEL

Oh, wow! So this is the hell level! And, wow, everyone is just really... letting their aggression out, huh? Maybe I could suggest less violent ways of settling their differences?

[She approaches the nearest person/demon currently in a scuffle.]

Excuse me, excuse me~! I hate to interject myself into your... disagreements. You definitely look like you're experiencing a lot of stress! Bu~uut have you ever considered more productive ways of handling your problems? --Rather than destructive?

[She is definitely risking a punch in the face, almost by existing. Save her? Punch her? Be the person she's trying to lecture?]

I know, the perfect techniques! It starts with putting yourself in the other person's shoes... not literally! No, not literally. Please calm down...?

TEXTING
[She's too excited to text! Text her instead?]

HELL LEVEL

[dirtyfanny]

[She's getting pulled off of some asshole by another asshole, getting lectured by yet another asshole. Bulma is thrashing around and taking to being manhandled about as well as a cat getting a bath.]

Back off, blondie, I'll handle this however I want!

[Maybe just maybe she accidentally kicks Charlie in the face. Maybe it was on purpose. Little bit of column A, little column B.]

[princess_of_hell]

Oof! [Charlie... Charlie takes a moment to press the orbital of her face where Bulma's foot caught her right in the side.]

It's okay! It's understandable! I can completely understand your pain! I'm... experiencing my own pain right now, that's why. But, you know! You, um you're obviously busy, and I can respect that...

You kick very hard! You kick... like, you really wanted to kick something!

Hell Level | I'M SCREAMING

[grumpface]

[Husk had been off to the side, watching the fight with mostly indifference and boredom. Then, he hears a voice. The voice is very familiar and Husk shifts his view and-]

[Shit. It's Charlie.]

[Husk does not want Charlie to see him like this, being colored white and gold and having a halo above his head.

Yeah, Husk is going to do his best to try and silently sneak away, his eyes locked onto the princess. It goes wrong when he accidentally steps on a demon's tail, causing the demon to yelp in pain.]

1/?

[princess_of_hell]

[She's staring down the glare of a demon who has had enough of her bullshit when she hears the cry of pain and it gets just enough of her attention for her to turn her head and see...]

Oh. Em. Gee...

2/?

[princess_of_hell]

HUSK! Husk Husk Husk Husk Husk!!

[she's desperately waving to him, with her full body, fortunately it distracts the demon advancing on her enough that someone else came, saw an opening, and clocked it on the back of the head.]

Oh, sorry~!

[Charlie's new goal: get over to Husk's side of the room with all the patience of an excited ferret. A task she manages with surprising gusto. Ducking, bobbing, and weaving between thrown projectiles, punches, and even one guy being flipped onto the ground over another's shoulder.]

Oh~ Sorry! Sorry! My friend is... my friend is right over there...! [She bumps into someone else.] Shit, I SAID MOVE IT!

3/?

[princess_of_hell]

Husk, look at you, LOOK AT YOU! This... this is amazing! This calls for a song!!

[She barely has time to take a breath.]

♩Although my idea faced opposition from voices young and old♩
♩And Heaven was eager to shut me down, cold♩
♩Proof's finally here! Redemption is possible, redemption is near!♩
♫ At our Hazbin Hotel~ ♫

[princess_of_hell]

♩This is the end of our misery!
♩A completely total victory!♩
♩That day that we proved it's all true!♩
♩It's something anyone can do!♩
♫And today will rise a new, great, fucking, daaaaaa~aaaaay!!♫

5/5

[princess_of_hell]

♫In Heee~lll!!!♫

[she's reaching out for a hug!!]

hell level..........charlie please

[twominutes]

[ fizzarolli is still skulking around hell trying to find his giant boyfriend when he sees.... ]

Princess?

[ and she's trying to calm down a huge group of fighting people, which is not going well for her at all, and it's not like fizz can jump in to fight off some dudes, so instead he does what he does best.

... he grabs a streetlight with an extendo-arm, swings over to charlie, grabs her out of the way of a punch to the head, and then swings back to drop to the ground well out of the way. ]

SorryforgrabbingyoulikethatPrincessbutI'marunnernotafighteranywayweshouldreallygetoutofhere.

[ all in one breath. ]

[princess_of_hell]

Oof!

[Getting beat up is a entirely foreseeable ending to Charlie's attempts at getting them calmed down, but extraction via swinging demon before that taking place not so much.]

Whoa, whoa, calm down, speak slower! I mean... not that I have much right to tell someone to calm down, and especially not speak slower. I end up talking quickly all the time in an attempt to be heard, so I really emphasize with where you're coming from. --Oh no, I've already gone too far into being a judgy-boots, haven't I? I'm sorry! I didn't mean it, I just... was so surprised someone grabbed me!

[. . .]

Who are you?

Hell Level (LMAO Charlie)

[orkin]

[ Rather than saving her in a normal manner, she launches herself skyward when she gets close enough and lands unceremoniously on Charlie’s shoulder on all fours. Looking like a cat with its fur standing on end, she lets out a wicked little hiss before the person who was approaching Charlie hightails it elsewhere.

Once you deal with Niffty levels of crazy, you see, it is hard to forget. She probably just saw someone else do this and thought it looked cool. As if the whole ordeal didn’t just happen she blinks, breaks into a grin and throws her little arms around her neck. Hug of friendship!

Do mind the knife she still has in tow though. ]

Hi Charlie! [ As if delivering a secret just for her, she lowers her voice and whispers into her ear. ] I don’t think they know about trust falls.

[princess_of_hell]

Niffty?

[But, her expression of shock and alarm melts at the Hug Of Friendship! Which she happily returns! (Little murderous gremlin with a knife besides.)]

Niffty! Oh, you didn't have to do that! I really think he was on the edge of... the edge of something!

[The voice in her ear is a little more skin-crawling and she lets out a string of nervous laughter.]

Ahahaa... Trust falls can wait! Trust falls feel like they can wait a few days. Why is everyone fighting in the first place?

[kuchisake_shojo]

But I'm having a lot of fun - ah, that punch is going to miss too.

[ It's just an imp anyways. Anyone strong could probably turn Runa into paste, not that that has any real repercussions right now.

And the punch misses. The imp looks like it missed on purpose, then goes back to being frustrated about it. ]

Are you sure you don't just want a swing? I can make sure it lands.

[princess_of_hell]

Oh, no! No, no thank you. I prefer talking things out. Using my words!

Are you using some power, or... no, I mean, of course you are. That goes without saying. --But you know, there are lots of positive ways to have fun!

Hell

[youbeautifulidiot]

[As a Heaven baby, Veneer is used to getting targeted by the locals for some light bullying. He's got giant colorful wings that imps love to pull, and now that he's a furry, he also has a stupid tail and ears they can yank on, too. What he ISN'T used to is seeing a gigantic scuffle as soon as he opens the elevator door, and when the knives come up? Just forget it.

He needs cover and he needs it fast, so he's just going to...hide behind the least threatening person he can find and in a room like this? It will absolutely be the tall girl trying to talk everyone into cutting it out.]

Hi~ Love your hair. Anyway, say! You wouldn't mind having this conversation, I dunno, closer to the exit? I'm trying not to get stabbed.

[princess_of_hell]

Oh, thank you! [the compliment earns him a smile.] Don't worry! I think I've got them calmed down.

[So she says, but then... a knife gets plunged into her back.]

I'M LOVE HER I have to make this dumb and not what she expects

[softspokenlandlord]

[Ryou is currently experiencing so much stress. Much like in Domino, he's a trouble magnet, and his snake tail had nudged a passing sinner and created trouble for him.

In fairness, the snake was now hooding and flashing fangs while striking out as Ryou tries to dodge.]

I-I'm trying--they won't leave me alone, I didn't intend to inconvenience them, but--

[Oop. Someone's getting his pretty white hair pulled.

SNAKE TAIL IS GOING TO BITE THE AGGRESSOR! BITE BITE BITE.]

awesome!

[princess_of_hell]

Oh! That's the first step! Just turn around and say 'I'm sorry', and...

[Then she watches his tail start to lash out.]

No, no! Not like that! That's just going to make it worse! Oh boy... you know what, I'm sorry, too! On his behalf!

[Now there's a lead pipe being thrown at her face.]

Hell!!

[bbbrightside]

[It's not looking too good there - for Charlie. For the rampaging demons, they're having a good(?) time. Fortunately, Ruby can see when a situation isn't going well.]

Um, excuse me?

[She tugs gently on Charlie's coattail. Comes with being smaller - and younger - than most everyone around here. If being a little angelic wasn't enough to set her off among the hellish crowd.]

Maybe you should leave them to it, for now. Just to make sure they've let off- [Oof, that was a forearm flying over her head.] Steam.

Hell Level

[respectless]

[Velvette gets in one last stomp into her unfortunate opponent's throat before she answers Charlie.]

Well, I really hope you don't mean literally, Princess, because have you looked at the ugly shoes he's wearing? I wouldn't be caught dead in those. I'd find a way to spontaneously combust my corpse before anyone got to see it.

[But! Since she is speaking to the actual Princess of Hell (the real Hell, that is), she can't help but offer another fashion opinion.]

Loved your battle dress, by the way.

oh HELL charlie /ba dum tsst

[saltsplash]

[Wha-- this girl is clearly an adult, she should know better than to get involved in a fight like that!! Reigen may be half his usual height, but he still darts in and hops to grab Charlie's arm, intending to try and drag her back.]

Are you an idiot?? That's the responsibility of the police!!

waggles eyebrows at

[succinainteasy]

Is she seriously—

[ Save her from herself, maybe. After heaving a sigh, and rolling her eyes, she walks up beside her. ]

You’re gonna get punched if you use that approach here. And you’ll probably lose your shoes—which would be a shame, they’re cute.

[ She doesn’t live under a rock and obviously keeps up with the times, she recognizes her before she even hears her start her spiel. So this is the little mastermind behind the hotel and the songs of triumph being pedaled around Hell right now. Color her intrigued.

Turning to walk away, she glances over a shoulder and lifts her shades to peer back at her. ]

Coming, Princess? Maybe we can talk about those techniques of yours.

Guess who's late with starbs but I brought u a latte | Hell

[hookersandblows]

[ And in precisely 3 seconds, the poor imp who Charlie had been talking to gets three precisely aimed shots right at him in quick succession. Looking in the direction those shots came from would rveal one rather familiar moth, who looks a MESS. His neckfluff's roughed up, wings shoddily folde behind him, he's clearly been in the thick of it - and he looks exhilarated. ]

Move it or lose it, princess. These bastardos are out for blood and they're not looking for therapy.

[ Just gonna blow Moneyshot's barrel. It's still smoking and he needs to reload. ]

[behemoth_betrayed]

[ Here's Ábramar, manifesting like he was invisible point two seconds ago. He very kindly catches the punch aimed right for Charlie's face, while his other hand splays dramatically over his own chest. And... another, pinching the bridge of his nose in a gesture of fatige. And... a pair of arms, crossed beneath his ribs. Kay. ]

It's poor karma to attack someone who isn't attacking you first [ Ábramar scolds the snarling aggressor with a grin made entirely of gold. Then he rips the dude's arm off like it's made of paper and throws it to the side. No blood? No blood! And he's uh... just going to pick up the arm Abby threw across the room. Again... Kay. ]

I'm curious though [ speaking to Charlie now, turning to her with a smaller, but no less serpentine grin. ] as to why you think violence is inherently something to be avoided. Fire Energy is just a part of existence, no more or less useful than the other elements. It exists in every universe I've lived in so far. [Conversationally, because talking about the weather is for dopes.]
