TDM 002 / MERMAY EVENT
A: Garden Level - CLEAN UP CREW
[WHUH OH YOU'VE DIED AND ENDED UP IN THE GARDEN OF GOOD AND EVIL. A usually beautiful sight--this time it seems the water from heaven is spilling over! Watch your step or you might get a stream of ocean water cascading atop your head like a prop bucket.
The imps and cherubs are hard at work with a water pump tho!! They've got this, really. "Don't mind us, we're just--doing paperwork! Yep!! THAT'S ALL IT IS."
Reassuring. More alarming, you may have noticed that you've changed. Depending on your alignment, you may have more heavenly or hellish traits.............or just for May, you may have AQUATIC traits. That's not worrying!!
Well as some oldbies get teleported to the garden as well, maybe you can ask them some questions!!]
B: HECK-LING TIMES
[Now if you take the elevator down to Hell's Hotel, it's water free! However you may be IMMEDIATELY assaulted by some imps who try to jab you with a shiv. Standard hell greeting!! Maybe someone intervenes or maybe you can like, just punch them. The sheep imps ain't shit. The rest of the hotel is surprisingly nice though, and if you have a room assignment there, you'll find it honestly pretty accommodating.
BUT OUTSIDE? Oh buddy is it still flooded!! Some imps are working hard to pump the water out, but it has the added effect of creating whirlpools. Get sucked into one and not only will you be tossed and turned like laundry, but there's a chance a MEMORY will be tossed right out of you! This could be anything from forgetting your name, your bestie's face, where you live, whatever! Don't worry, the effect will wear off in a few hours, or until someone finds the memory and gives it back to you (in the form of floating seashells that will float near the whirlpools!)]
C: HEAVENLY SING-A-LONGS
[Take the elevator up, and you step in the luxurious Heavenly Hotel! And you may be IMMEDIATELY assaulted by sheep cherubs spritzing you with perfumes or colognes or dolling up your hair. They're here to serve!! Once you get rid of those pests though, feel free to explore the ludicrously divine amenities of the hotel.
OUTSIDE isn't nearly as flooded as Hell, though the local ocean has still expanded greatly, but instead there's a different problem...........there are crabs. And seagulls. And fish?? Singing. They're singing SO much.
You may find a chorus of sea critters at any point in Heaven abruptly bursting into a kiss-the-girl style musical, accidentally revealing a crush you might have, or a silly secret. Better hope passing angels and other residents aren't listening too hard! Of course you can just punt the annoying creatures away. Or eat them. That's an option too, sure. ]

[ Dread settles onto Ken. That's right, the imps said this was an afterlife. One Ken and Wormmon aren't supposed to be in, but until they find their way home, will everyone there believe them to be......
Has Ken cost his parents another child, again.....
Ken's gaze starts drifting down to the water. Wormmon squeals in terror. ]
D-d-d-don't look!!
[ Can he climb up Ken's front to cover the boy's eyes for him?! No! But he's sure going to try, with no results whatsoever but a lot of wiggling!! ]
no subject
You might have to get closer to see them clearly. Maybe kneel down or something.
[ This water only goes up to mid calf at most, so dunking these suckers in might not be a great idea... But Kokichi has a long tail with a wide end now, and if he positions it juuuust right... Just behind Ken, near the edge of the water... ]
no subject
[ Ken pats the back of Wormmon's head, crouching to get a better look in the water. ]
It's all right. I have to know....
[ Wormmon swallows. Ken-chan....is being so brave.....He's worried about the people he left behind! He wants to see if they're missing him!
Wormmon will be brave too!
They will BOTH STARE DEEPLY INTO THE WATER!!! ]
no subject
And give Kokichi an opening to splash them from the side. ]
no subject
[ Success!! Ken throws up an arm to stop the water, but too late - and then, that unbalances him, so he falls sideways into said water as well! ]
no subject
[ Kokichi gets up and grins down at the poor, soggy sap and his worm. ]
First rule of waking up in weird places! Don't believe everything anyone says right away!
no subject
.....You tricked me.
[ Behold: the boy genius. ]
no subject
[ He states with a shit eating grin. ]
But, you know, it could have been a lot worse than getting soaked. You're lucky I'm the first liar you've run into, huh?
no subject
But Wormmon pops his head up to ask: ]
You mean - the other people here will do WORSE things...?
[ The horror! ]
no subject
[ He could traumadump. He could tell the truth. But why do that when there are so many fun ways to lie about your death? ]
no subject
[ He doesn't. But does that mean that - that he really did die, as well? And that he's here for....for a reason....? He's predisposed to believe that sort of thing....
No, don't jump to conclusions! Listen, and think! Stay...focused....
Wormmon is trying to beam Don't Be Trolled energy at Ken as hard as he can, which mostly consists of him balling up his fins and scrunching his face. Fight, Ken-chan! Fight! ]
no subject
[ ... Sliiight head tilt. ] Well... I probably shouldn't scare you with the details. It got really messy at the end of it all.
no subject
Messy.....
[ Ken's stuck for a moment as if trying to picture it, too. Fortunately for him, he has MUCH less of an imagination than Wormmon, and shakes his head with a squint to clear it. ]
So now you scare others. As a cautionary tale...?
[ Dead. He's dead. The person he's talking to is dead.
Ken, too, is - even if he doesn't remember, Ken is -
don't fall into the pit don't fall into the pit don't fall into the pit
but he's got a metaphorical foot hovering over it ]
no subject
Well... Maybe I just wanted to mess with you.
[ Still smiling like the smartass he is. ]
By the way, if we all got dumped here on accident like those flying sheep said, then you're probably in a coma for all we know.
no subject
Ken inclines his head, grim. Keeping it together because talking shop is Important, but oh, how he hates being "messed with". (Why pick him, specifically? What about him makes him a prime target?)
On that note: ]
We might have been brought here for a reason, as well. If we find that, and resolve it, we may be able to leave.
[ Though he's not sure how that would work for a dead person. Would they move on to a different afterlife? Is this even an afterlife, if it can absorb the living, or is it another world entirely that happens to loosely resemble the Christian concept of Heaven and Hell....? ]
no subject
Kokichi just shrugs. ]
Yeah, good luck figuring that out.
