[ 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!]

[Like a cold breeze blowing, the Sin looks up at his counterpart. Avarice and jealousy are so close, yet so far apart that it's easy for that loathing to build up in him like bile. Maybe once, they could have reconciled. But that was before. Before Wrath had stripped him of everything, before they all looked on at the marvel of his undoing. That's the thing about sins of the past - they come back to haunt, don't they?]

[And now, here they are. Here he is. That snide smile of his tainted with the absolute cruelty of distance and disregard.]

Yeah, I'm sure you'd be all too quick to do that, wouldn't you? Just to save your own ass.

[But then Envy says truce, treaty, sign, and Greed's eyes go incredibly wide. However, it isn't surprise that has him looking that way. Oh, no. It's something far more sinister. Far more wicked. The former homunculus sinks into the other side of the bar and his body practically coils into the mold of the countertop; like he's the final puzzle piece putting the whole picture together.]

[He grabs Envy's drink by the brim, digging tiny holes into the edge like pock marks.] Would you? Do anything? Be careful what you ask for, Little Envy. [A twitch of static snaps on his tongue, making the inside of his cheek light up like bones on an X-Ray.] Tell me, can you still change? Can you still do everything you could before all this?

[He asks like he almost knows. He doesn't, of course not. But a terrible kind of hope begins to fester in his chest. It bubbles there as sure as hot tar and expands, growing, growing, growing until it pops sizzling in the back of his throat.]

[Because oh, oh if Envy doesn't. If he's facing the same kind of slowness he's been facing or worse: wouldn't that be the cherry on the fucking cake? The gold-plated topper to finish it all off.]

[And with that thought, his whole demeanor changes. The ice melts away, replaced with a burn that craves satisfaction. That craves payment. Greed's face contorts with the blaze; his craze subtle, yet no less deadly. He takes what he's poured and throws it back completely: all its bitterness, its vile taste, coating his throat.]

[infinitecruelty]

[Of all the things to be asked...]

Has nothing to do with my ass, Greed.

[He sighs, hoping to dance around the answer to that last question for now.]

I want to— [Biting the bullet on this one is harder than he thought it would be. He knows what will follow- bitter laughter, ridicule, denial and finally expulsion. He's going to get laughed out of the bar and he knows it. He knows and he's going to let his ego take it full in the face, anyway.

Doesn't that count for something?]

—make amends. [He holds a hand up, silently requesting pause just long enough to let him finish.] Since it's just you and me... I figured we could hash it out. Like we used to. No Lust, no Pride, no "Dad," no plan, just us. Here! In "Hell." Sounds like a perfect time to catch up, if you ask me.

You can even beat me to death as many times as you want. My treat.
