[ 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!]

Please no more songs. Not 'till next week, at least.

Water's not gonna make me get redeemed.

[Husk chugs some more of that booze.]

Remember what I said when we first met? Yeah... that also applied to even before I died and went to hell.

[princess_of_hell]

[He is definitely not getting any sort of Deal about when and where she can sing.]

Um... something something... cheap booze?

[grumpface]

[We'll see about that.]

No... not that. I had lost the ability to love years ago.

[Walking further and further away from the rowdy crowd...]

My life's nothin' but drinkin' and gamblin' now. Lots of other people have the capability to be repaired, but... just not me. It's best I don't disappoint you. Focus on Angel and Sir Pentious.

[princess_of_hell]

...

[she lets out a vulnerable little sigh]

Husk, if Alastor wasn't forcing you to be there at our hotel... would you be?

[grumpface]

[...Damnit. Just what the fuck IS that look? Whatever it is, it makes Husk's face look guilty. He turns his eyes away from you.]

...I did end up in hell. Not Heaven.

...But... I meant what I said when I ain't findin' no new drinkin' buddies.

[princess_of_hell]

Huuuusk... the entire point has been any soul can find redemption, even if they made mistakes while alive...?

Any soul! Like I said, don't worry about getting to Heaven tomorrow, it takes time, but... you don't have to think the door is slammed shut.

Howabout this? Don't think "if I want to get redeemed, I have to be a completely new and better person tomorrow, so I won't try." No one expects that! Keep doing what makes you comfortable, even if it's a sin, and work a little step at a time...

[grumpface]

...I'd be more comfortable bein' a ♠♥♣♦in' sinner than a winner.

[Husk thinks it's time to try changing the subject, or at least talking about someone different, so Charlie doesn't take all day trying to futilely change his mind.]

So met anyone you don't know yet?

[princess_of_hell]

Oh! Oh... yes! There's... the person with that knife over there! And... that's strange, I don't see the other one he was stabbing anymore... he must've gone home!

[A happy day in hell.]

[grumpface]

And that's it? You need to get out more.

[Husk, so do you.]

[princess_of_hell]

Well, it's just everyone's in such a hurry or wrapped up in their own business, I haven't really gotten the chance to mingle, yet. Things will calm down!

[And, another liquor bottle smashes somewhere nearby them both, but it looks like this one was thrown to purposefully miss, at least.]

Wow. This place is really going to be a hazard to walk through if someone leaves all this broken glass around... maybe we could stand to sweep it away? Just into a corner...

[grumpface]

[Husk will stop leading the way away from everyone and cross his arms, waiting against a nearby wall so as to not congest the way by standing in the middle. He doesn't offer to help and just assumes you got it.]

[princess_of_hell]

Let's see, there's no broom... or anything else... looks like there's a bit too much to just sweep up with my feet, and that wouldn't help the tiny bits. Maybe my coat? But, wouldn't I just rub a lot of tiny glass particles in the fiber? --Then again, what's more important, Charlie? Keeping someone from stepping on broken glass, or a clean coat? I can probably get it cleaned if I tell them there's glass in it! And if not, it's not like I only own one outfit that I wear over, and over. Maybe it might look like it, but that's my uniform... I wear that to be the face of the hotel, and so everyone knows who I am! Not that they wouldn't know, after all the stuff I already did.

[Then, another bottle comes at her and smashes on the ground to the side.]

Oh! Thank you! But, I've got plenty enough to clean up already! Just use the trash next time? Ooh~ Or, recycling! If this is the sort of glass that can even be recycled... and there's a bin for it!

[A voice rings out from the melee of "Shut up, or the next one's a molotov!"]

...

[She turns back to Husk and abandons the task to run over to him.]

Hey, Husk? Why don't we leave? --Farther away?

[Credit to Charlie for knowing what that was, at least.]

[grumpface]

[Boy, that's such a wonderful cleanup job you did there!]

Yeah. We should probably head back to that one hotel. The one that ain't yours, you know.

[princess_of_hell]

You're focused on that, aren't you? [He draws out a sigh from her.]

[grumpface]

[Husk shrugs lazily.]

If there's a way to get back to our hell, I don't wanna get too comfortable here.

[princess_of_hell]

It'll be fine! The biggest thing we had to worry about was the extermination, and we ended that! --Hopefully!

I, for one, can't ignore a Hell I see making the same mistakes! Heaven either.

[grumpface]

And your daddy will appreciate you slackin' off in the hell we really belong to? You can't have both of 'em.

[princess_of_hell]

... [Low blow :( ]

Husk, we just got here... do you know a way back?

[grumpface]

[Husk chugs a bit more from his bottle before looking away.]

...I'll keep an eye out for one.

[princess_of_hell]

So will I, but you know, even if it's not our hell, it has our people in it. So... When I finally get to knowing what's what, I will go back to organizing redemption activities.

...I'll understand if you don't want to come, Husk.

[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?

[grumpface]

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

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

[princess_of_hell]

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

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