[ 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!]

[ It's okay Charlie, it's safe to shake his hand. He's definitely dangerous... but not evil. Chaotic Neutral, at best. He just gives a polite little squeeze, and lets her go. ]

Yes, Exactly. [ the mischief outgrows his small smile. ]

Well you didn't scream 'Forbidden Magic' as soon as I told you and try to chain me up inside a star. So I think you're doing just fine with presumptions about me so far.

Though... you did seem a little nervous when I mentioned your father. Is that more about me, or him I wonder...?

[princess_of_hell]

Oh, no! No, no no no! Dad's fine! You're fine! He's just... settling in. Hasn't been here long. He's King of Hell, you know! It makes sense he's got a little... you know, culture shock! Big fish in a new pond! Gosh, I myself haven't even got through it all, yet!

[behemoth_betrayed]

Hm. I've had very little experience with your family, but you know what always seems to be true? When someone says 'No' that many times... more often than not, it's a yes. [ The light implication is that in his opinion, this rule applies to Lucifer as well. He could absolutely be wrong. He can only theorize. ]

[ He sits forwards a little, a pair of arms slung over his knees, a second pair crossing his chest, and a single hand supporting the enticed cant of his jaw. ]

So you are worried about him, probably? Care to tell me why, beyond the 'Big Fish New Pond' bit?

[princess_of_hell]

I'm sorry. It's really not my place to talk too much about Dad's personal feelings. What they might be, why he has them, or speculating about them. They're his own, you know? Not mine. --All I can say is that I'm not at all nervous about any issue with you both engaging each other. That counts as from his direction toward you, or your direction toward him. I mean, we come from Hell. What more is there to say? There's all types of demons there. [She nods.] I, for one, have found our talk very interesting. I'm glad you had the open mind to hear me out, as well. Those are rare traits to encounter in my experience. At least, where I came from.

I do appreciate that you'd be concerned though. Or at least curious.

[behemoth_betrayed]

[ He shows four palms in a gesture akin to 'easy, easy'. His wrists don't quite flop, but... ]

Girl, relax. I was just giving you a chance to vent. You don't want to speculate? That's fine by me. Glad you don't think the pair of us can get into any trouble, though. Not going to lie, I'd love a chance to prove you wrong.

[ He's got no presumptions about hell at all; realms have Realm Traits, it's just a thing. If anything, despite being a demon princess or whatever, she's basically the sweetest thing he's ever seen. Bless her. ]

Curious, concerned... those things aren't mutually exclusive [ another Cheshire smile. ] You know, I think you might be the only person here who will believe me when I say this: I am not an evil creature. Too much Fire is just as problematic as none. It's easy to assume I'm some nefarious thing, but truthfully? I just like to stir the Shit Pot.

[princess_of_hell]

Well... maybe that shit pot stirring will bring out something good some day! --I'd like to think of our talk as an example!

[behemoth_betrayed]

Of course it does. You'll find I am a Creator of Good Things as well as Bad Things. But one cannot exist without the other. Light and Shadow would both be pointless without one another. [ Abby makes a slightly disgusted face. ] Oh look, you made me quote a tacky dichotomy. Gross. Good job, Witch.[ The term plays like an affectionate insult. ]

Well I hope you enjoy your day, and don't get punched in the face. You're just too sweet for words. It's almost a cosmic anomaly.
