[ 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!]

Dressed like rabbits? Sounds horrifying.

[ he's more of a duck man himself... no! focus, focus. he doesn't like talking about the exterminations, not really, for so many reasons it'd make almost anyone's head spin, but this part, this much, is fine.

however: ]

I have no idea who Killjoy is. I don't watch TV! I'll take your word for it.

[ daddy morningstar... he squints hard. but... nope! there's clearly no connotation there. daddy kinks whomst? he does not understand. rip in mcfucking pieces, lucifer morningstar. still: ] Hey, hey, I have no desire to be some kind of overarching father figure, yeugh! Leave that to someone else. [ with a glance upward. he has no idea that he just told the universe to daddy kink his own father. good for him.

as far as the rest of what she says though, he glances away. ]

You think I don't know that? That doesn't mean I'm not going to stop it from happening where I can. It's good that she can see the good in people even when there clearly isn't any, but, as you so cheekily implied, it's not fun at all to see her sad! She deserves better.

[succinainteasy]

Only if you're a kid getting your picture taken with one of them.

[ The look she gives him at the realization that he doesn't know who Katie Killjoy is.. well, it's something. ]

Really? She's only the bitch who bullied Charlie on live TV where everyone could see it. You seriously didn't hear about that? Well, looks like the cat's out of the bag now. She was plugging that redemption hotel thing and Killjoy roasted her for it. They were literally brawling on the news desk.

[ Lucifer, you are her dad, how does she know about this but you don't? She's also come to the realization that when people said Lucifer didn't get out much, they meant he didn't get out at all. Christ, is he a boomer? ] Not what that means but sure.

[ Does he know that? He doesn't seem to know much about his kid, but at least she doesn't voice her opinion. ] So give her better? People get hurt every day, even someone as powerful as you can't block out everything. Just, I don't know, prepare her, like any dad would. Those rose-colored glasses of hers aren't gonna do her any favors.

I wore them once too. [ She laughs, rubbing at one of her arms. ] The faster the band-aid is ripped off the better.

[applesolutely]

[ wuh oh! time for some wild shit! ]

She what now?

[ see, there's this thing. this weird little head-tilt, this one eye and then the other frog blink while his eyes flicker red again, when they stay red this time, when the smell of brimstone rises and a pair of horns start to push out of his scalp and a spade tail lashes behind him—

—blink and you miss it, because he's immediately back to 'normal' (angelic normal) and grinning. ]

Well! I'll have to remember that for when I go home! Or until she arrives here. I'll take either one.

[ aaaanyway. back to chipper shit.

sort of. he's still got a lot of issues with being a disappointment as a father, and despite the fact that his expression remains Fine, it's clear it's eating at him. ]

I know. I've tried to instill a healthy sense of caution into her time and time again, but I don't think like she does and we butt heads about it whenever I bring it up. I'm still working on getting her to actually see that some people really are rotten all the way through and there's not anything there to redeem or trust or spend time on because it's just going to bite her in return.

[ looking at YOU, alastor. ]
