[ 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!]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[ It might be difficult to discern what her take on this impromptu performance is, as she watches her with a brow raised and nothing more. She has the pipes, sure, but what else can she do?

Rather than let it be a solo act, she steps back, waggling a finger in the air as if to reprimand her while following her good lead. Her wings flare out behind her as she rests her hands on her knees, leaning forward towards her. ]

—Oh, so this is how you’re expecting to win the race?
Hope you have a Plan B because that won’t even place
You’re still ten steps away from catching up to me
Because we both know, baby, nothing in life’s free~

[ On “free” she purposely draws her tongue across her teeth, drawing attention to her unmarred smile versus Velvet’s gold tooth. Of course she doesn’t know about the contract but any self-respecting diva would get rattled over imperfection. ]

[During Verosika's verse, Velvet does her best not to show much of a reaction, but those big ol' eyes of hers make it easy to read her admiration. There's something about the way Verosika moves that Velvet can't look away from, that makes her jealous and awe-struck all at once. She bites the inside of her cheek to keep her expression from changing too much. What's so pretty about some girl-shaped imp anyway? That... is all Verosika is, right? Some kind of regular demon popstar?

Velvet's eyes narrow at that last line— but she forces a yawn, eyes shut tight as Verosika's tongue graces her teeth. Time to show off.]

Oh! I'm sorry, did you say something?
I couldn't hear all that mumbling
over the sound of my own perfection
I'm distracted by the reflection
of myself in your eyes!
I'm not competing; I am the prize
When you're as expensive as me
it don't matter that nothing is free
cos I've got the budget, baby!

[She walks backward as she sings, to give herself more room to dance— a spin and a twirl on her high heels. At her final spin, she simply turns a full circle around at the hips, her bottom half turning independent of the top. Velvet smiles wide at Verosika, batting her lashes challengingly.]

[ What in the unholy fuck was that? She almost look grossed out by the display. ]

You've got the glitz; you've got the glam
but you'll never be as hungry as I am
So I'm glad you enjoy your little budget
because you're about to fall back on it

[ The voices have drawn a small crowd, so Verosika gives two of the nearest angels a come-hither gesture with a finger. When they're close enough she circles behind them like a cobra ready to strike—but Velvet is the one who has her attention. They don't seem to mind the way she dances between them, or how she cups one of their chins with one hand and lets the spade on the end of her tail tip the other one's chin up. ]

You're aiming high and chasing fame
without realizing I created the game

[ At the I, she rakes her hands down the front of their chests before they each take one of her hands and assist in dipping her backwards. ]

[Velvet eyes Verosika's guests, and for a moment she must look wary— those big eyes open wide and those long lashes batting, her lips twisted up in a bit of a pout. But all of a sudden, when Verosika gets dipped, Velvet lifts her chin and locks eyes with Verosika.

She doesn't understand why Verosika was able to draw in those angels like that— but even if Velvet could do the same, she wouldn't want to, to have the hands of those rude little angels on her like that— but she isn't someone who gives up easily.

No... She doesn't know when to stop.

She follows their dip, bowing over Verosika's face to sing—]

Amazing— you made the game!
Too bad I've never heard your name—

[She lets them lift Verosika, straightening up to get out of her way, and putting her hands on her hips. She smiles confidently;]

I guess that's cos your game's way too old
you're a story that's already been told
but—

[Closing the distance between herself and Verosika again, Velvet presses her paws against the chests of those angels to push them away from her target, bold and overconfident.]

I am the cover, the sequel, the remix
Last season's hits couldn't beat this

[Mirroring the first thing Verosika did to her, Velvet reaches out to twist her finger through Verosika's hair. As if to prevent Verosika from stepping back, Velvet steps one leg forward and around, catching Verosika's ankle against her own.

If she can't win the attention of their little crowd the same way Verosika can, she'll just have to dominate Verosika's attention.

She is also an idiot, who does not recognize when she is out of her depth and making power moves on a literal sex demon.]

You're playing the game cos you made it?
Well, I'm here cos I'm gonna change it.

[ Oh, sweet Rageon, she would never step away from a delicious little challenge like this! Velvet might have taken away her props but, by trying to keep her close, she's left herself wide open to her advances. ]

Cute. Comin' up on my stage
Thinkin' you're all the rage

[ Verosika jerks her foot back against Velvet's ankle and twists so that she can take the lead, spinning her around as if this were a lovers waltz. Her gestures are deliberately slow and tender, like the spider trying to lure the fly into her web. ]

She's all bark and no bite
Because she just lost the fight

You wanna know my name?
Bitch, I could say the same

[ Too tenderly, she cups the side of Velvet's face and dips them both low, lips so close to hers that they nearly brush against them when she whispers: ]

You know it now, you can't deny it
And tonight? I'm gonna make you scream it.

[ And when she has her right where she wants her? She promptly drops her on her ass. ]

[Velvet has never known the sweet caress of— of anything. Of anything at all, because she is not someone that people have ever wanted to seduce while she has also allowed them to get close enough to do so.

People don't call her on her bluffs. They don't bother.

So she isn't ready when Verosika does it, when Verosika pulls her into her lustful web, when she spins her and dips her low. She can't hide her big batting eyes from Verosika, can't hide stutter of her lips or the swallow in her throat when Velvet's face gets way, way too close to that succubus's.

What... is happening? Why is Verosika so beautiful, so perfect, so talented so hard not to look at?

And when Verosika drops Velvet on her ass, Velvet may as well be wearing a sign that gleams in bright neon— Virgin.

She sits there, flustered and shocked, no song returning— nothing but a startled little mink hiss a couple of times.]

I— that wasn't— what did you—

[ She could just walk off and savor the victory but something about the look on her face has her crouching down in front of her. ]

The next time you wanna throw your weight around, make sure it's not against a succubus. You're good, I'll give you that, but when it comes to sex appeal? I'm in the major leagues and you're in the minors.

[ Verosika seems to consider something for a moment then grins, tipping Velvet's chin up again. ]

How about a consolation prize for the road? Smile for the cameras, Velvet.

[ The name is purred out before she swoops in and locks lips with her. ]

[Well, whatever Velvet was thinking prior to that moment is voided entirely by her surprise. Verosika's lips are really against her own— her weird hell mouth is on hers— and for some reason, Velvet doesn't hate it.

...She doesn't hate it? Why doesn't she hate it? Verosika smells good, and her lips are soft, and her hair is brushing against Velvet's face, and she wants so badly to—]

—Huh?

[Verosika should love the way Velvet almost chases her, leaning forward in a stupor when Verosika retreats, the way her big ol doll lashes bat like a fawn. And before her brain catches up, her mouth utters a confused—]

O—kay?

[Before it hits her that there are indeed eyes still on her. Watching her flounder. Velvet scrambles to her feet— doing that weird hip spin again to get herself up as quick as possible. With a look at Verosika, she opens her mouth and lifts a finger as if she's going to say something—

and then turns around and books it.]
