TDM 001!!
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!! ]
[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
[DO WHATEVER ELSE or send text messages on your phone!! ]

[ah. So that's what she's planning. Alastor starts to speak when one of the local demons, a large bull-like fellow, rushes at them with a baseball bat. How rude. He holds a finger up to Charlie, a silent "one moment" implied, and four shadow tentacles emerge from his back. One trips the demon by wrapping around his ankles, one wraps about the baseball bat and pulls it from his grasp, and the other two do a fine job of stabbing the demon through the chest and abdomen. He falls to the ground in a heavy slump. Alastor beans him on the noggin with the baseball bat for good measure before turning back to Charlie]
... Let's continue this conversation inside, shall we, my dear? These ruffians don't know who they're dealing with, and I'd prefer not to have to swat flies while talking about such matters.
no subject
Oh that's fine! Sorry, I should've known. I just didn't want to presume anything. You've been so helpful and done so much already, and...
[She can't help but peek behind him and wince at the violence happening.]
...Lead the way!
no subject
Thankfully they're not far from Al's newly acquired radio station -- an older but classy art deco building. There's definitely some sort of charm on the building, because the doors and windows swirl with Alastor's glowing green symbols.
He opens the door and allows Charlie in first. The building looks to be in a state of renovation, with two of Alastor's bulkier shadow minions moving things around]
My office is the first door on the left, darling. We'll have quiet and privacy in there.
no subject
[She can't stop staring. At the architecture, and the demons working. She almost loses track of where she's walking.]
First door on the left? Right!
[Wait, she gets herself confused at the last minute.]
Wait, left, or right? You said left, right?
no subject
I wasted no time getting my affairs in order. [he sighs and steps ahead of her, tapping his cane against the first door on the left -- another magically warded door with "Stationmaster's Office" on a plaque] Left, my dear.
[he opens the door once again for her. Inside is an office that strongly resembles Alastor's room back at the Hazbin Hotel, with plush red velvet overstuffed furniture, a dark wooden desk, and all manner of strange curios and decorative radios. It isn't completely put together and there are still boxes here and there] Pardon the mess and the bare walls. [he takes a seat behind the desk and gestures to one of the couches] Now then. You're planning to continue your work?
no subject
[Ever polite, Charlie sits herself down where he points.]
I am definitely going to continue! But, you know... I didn't want to presume you'd jump at helping me again. It's always been your choice, you know? And, the fliers make what you've got going on look really impressive.
[It wasn't even an attempt at buttering him up. Charlie was honestly impressed.]
I really think there's room for another Hazbin Hotel here. I've looked around the actual 'hotel' most people will be staying in. It's not... um... encouraging people who want to live there to be good? I thought there might be room to compete. Either with demons trying to find redemption, or demons who are genuinely good, but otherwise stuck in Hell because of the 'clerical error,' and don't want to have so much sin all around them.
[She says 'clerical error' sort-of mockingly; she clearly doesn't like that explanation.]
But, with or without your help... those are my plans. Maybe I won't be able to create something as grandiose as what we had before, but even a tiny building I have to turn into a "Hazbin Hostel" is better than nothing.
no subject
I'll be honest with you, dear -- I don't think the "redemption" angle will go over well here. There are no exterminations to worry about, and reaching Heaven is as simple as taking an elevator. To be blunt, there's no point.
[he stirs the coffee with a claw, thoughtful]
I think you'll have more luck with an... [he waves his hand, trying to come up with a good way to put it] ... embassy of kindness, so to speak. A respite in Hell for those who don't necessarily want to make the trip upstairs. It is so terribly bright there. [he massages his temples... the sun there gave him such a headache...] I'd be happy to help a bit in the ways I can, but... well. [he shrugs. He trusts Charlie, but he's not quite sure he wants to tell her about his weaknesses without holding her to her word]

So, whatever I get going, I'll understand if you don't want to be involved. That's what I was planning to do from the start.
1/2
Your enthusiasm is invigorating as always, princess. I certainly won't stop you! But allow me to be realistic. [he steeples his fingers] Your daddy isn't here to help you conjure up anything you might need. Your power is limited. My power is limited. Everything you see here-- [he gestures to his office with a grand sweeping motion] -- everything I have already accomplished, I have done with good old-fashioned elbow grease. [and murder and theft, of course] Without being in a position of privilege, and your general unwillingness to get your hands dirty, I think you're going to find your task a lot more daunting.
2/2
Of course, if anyone is up to the challenge, it would be you, my dear. I just wanted to caution you against overly lofty goals and inevitable disappointment. Shockingly, it brings me no joy to see you miserable.

No, thank you... I'll find a way.
no subject
Still, I'd like to try and help you in whatever way I can -- even if it's just advertisements on my shows. I'm afraid that if anyone decides to take out the walls again, you'll be on your own.
