[ 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!]

They were invincible. No weapon would hurt them.

Even if one weapon theoretically could, sinner demons aren't very easily organized into armies to fight back in sheer numbers. It sorta becomes "all for one." The more powerful demons hide, the smaller ones, the unlucky ones, die.

...I had an exemption, so I was never a target, but witnessing it... it's terrifying, what they do.

[kuchisake_shojo]

Tch. Guess there's not much of a God either, huh?

[princess_of_hell]

...That's another thing you might put under "angels should know something about, but hell if they're going to say."

Angels couldn't even tell me what gets a soul into Heaven. And it was a pertinent question, because a lot of angels are assholes.

[...]

Sorry, don't get me started.

[kuchisake_shojo]

You can vent to me. I hate society too.

[princess_of_hell]

Well... I feel bad venting so much to a friend, but, all right.

So, as Princess of Hell, I was thinking of ways to help my people... "what's another way we could curb overpopulation?" Maybe we could help demons rehabilitate! After all, who says Hell has to be the end? If someone can change their ways while they're alive, why can't they do it in Hell? Demons could redeem themselves and be allowed to live in Heaven. Then, there wouldn't be overpopulation in Hell anymore. And the exterminations could stop.

I tried to get Heaven on my side with this. --I got permission to enter through the golden gates, talk to a jury of decision-making angels, and everything. It's then I find out almost all of Heaven didn't even know about the exterminations. They kept it as a dirty little secret because, guess what! It's heartless and cruel! So, now I've got the sympathetic angels who actually take virtue seriously on my side, and on the other there's the exorcists, who are actually doing the killing. And, unlucky for me, the judge is a two-faced angel who knows it's wrong but is willing to just shrug her shoulders and go "Oh well!" It doesn't matter how much progress my friends have made to become better people. Heaven was right, I'm wrong, the end.

The exorcists came for us after that. They came to kill me and my friends personally. But, we found out what kills angels and we were able to organize something of an army against them. We killed their leader, and... they left. --Hopefully, they won't come back.

[...]

Oh, then I woke up here.

[kuchisake_shojo]

[ Runa folds her hands behind her back and listens. Okay. Princess of Hell...... rehabbing the demons. Ha. That sounds like it'd actually be fair, so that's not how it'll shake out, right?

...but it sounds like it's going better than Runa would've guessed. ]

Huh. Who would've guessed you'd find enough angels to side with you.

[ She shrugs. ]

Maybe this whole mess is secretly a plot by someone to get you out of the way.

[princess_of_hell]

...

[There's a whole pause in he head like a gear was thrown into the works as her paradigm shifts.]

That... would be incredibly cruel.

Cruel, and I can't dismiss it, either.

[kuchisake_shojo]

It sounds like they were far more cruel than this.

[ Runa knows lots about cruelty, scheming, abuse... ]

[princess_of_hell]

[Charlie is suddenly realizing she could potentially start a civil war in Heaven. Uh oh...]

Well... even more reason to work toward redemption, then! When they see without a doubt demons can redeem themselves, they'll have to stop.

[kuchisake_shojo]

[ Why not? ]

Oh! Or they'll just keep finding new excuses to hate them.

[princess_of_hell]

...Wow, if that happens, Heaven is going to tear itself apart, isn't it?

[...]

But, I can't let them try to go back to the status quo, either! That would be letting them kill us all over again...

[kuchisake_shojo]

I think that'd be just fine.

Heaven tearing itself apart, that is.

Puts everyone on the same footing.
