[ 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!]

Oh-ho-ho-no, I have to be in peak form for when everything pans out. Can't have some ambassador coming down and not be at my best! Tick-tock, Charlie, they have to know what they're missing.

[ well, that's a much more well-adjusted take than his freaking out about heaven earlier, so, well, it's a start.

then: ]

... I know, Charlie. I do. I'm not going to be able to turn the worry off, but I can at least do my best to let you spread your own wings.

[ he grins at the wink, and it looks genuine. ]

Let's blow this joint.

[princess_of_hell]

You know, I can think of exactly what we can do to take your mind off things! I've been scouting around, and I've found several locations I think I can use for a site for my new hotel!

[She'll smile too as they walk away from Eden. Symbolism?]

The first one is an abandoned concrete shell. It's empty, but there's indoor lighting: a few metal drums full of burning rubber that look like they've been there for... a while! It's lacking any other furnishings, and there's no plumbing, but it's a great location and sure to be defensible! You know, just in case. I just know we can fix the rest.

[applesolutely]

[ as they walk, he nods helpfully, manifesting a pad of paper and a pen to write down notes. pros and cons.

so far...

pros:

sturdy
good location
electricity works

cons:

no furnishings
cleanup necessary
no plumbing
burning rubber smell will stick forever

he shrugs, tilting his head this way and that as they approach the elevator. ]

Okay, it's a start. While we go, how about you tell me about the rest of the prospects? So I can know what to expect from each one!

[princess_of_hell]

The second one is a cafe that was broken into, ransacked, and burnt down. The glass is all shattered, and the furnishings are gone, but it does have two working bathrooms! I think maybe if I clear out the wreckage, see if I can expand into the property behind it, then it could function as a tiny bit of the beginnings of a hotel! But, security wouldn't be great, because it was a cafe to start with. Also, the location is maybe even better!

[applesolutely]

[ don't say it don't say it don't say it don't say it ]

Sounds great, honey!

[ nailed it. ]

Let's take a look at both of them and go over our options with both. I take it they're far enough apart we can't integrate both?

[princess_of_hell]

Wait, there's more!

Third location is an old office building! It's a little... shall we say, dilapidated? There's a lot of old desks that look like there were abandoned years ago. Oh, and one of the foundation beams on the corner of the building has been completely torn off. But, this is the best site for making a multi-story hotel from the beginning! We'd just need to make it structurally sound!

Another bad thing is the location. The buildings around it have shut their doors and been abandoned, for some reason.
