TDM 002 / MERMAY EVENT

[ SEE GAME NAVIGATION TO READ UP ON HECK GAME BEFORE PLAYING IF YOU SO DESIRE ]


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. ]

You'll be able to go back at some point, I'm sure. But there's been some difficulties so far. The best thing to do is stay calm...

[He makes the same twitch at the fish singing for Ken, it's a refrain that hits a little close to home for Nanami as well.]

And ignore the things that don't matter.

[He's trying not to pay attention to his little angelic chorus. Giving in and paying attention is what they want.

Nanami-san~ Nanami-san~
We think it's really funny~
But it wasn't much of a joke at all~
When you tricked the sin for money~

But he adds under his breath:] That is not what happened.

Hey, Ken-chan.

[ Wormmon tries to tug on Ken's shirt. It doesn't work very well, because fins, but points for effort. ]

Let's walk away. The fish bother the nice man, too.

That's right.

[ Ken smiles at Wormmon - thanks for the reassurance, pal - and turns to the man (Nanami-san?). Maybe this is forward of him, to an adult, but they are allies in the same predicament....and Nanami-san is trying to help him.... ]

I'm going somewhere - quieter. Would you like to come?

[unpaidovertime]

Of course. [He gestures ahead at the street they're on indicating a direction.]

There should be a nice place to get ice cream in a couple of streets in that direction.

[He stays a step or so behind and hopefully neither the kid he's escorting after or the fish-creature in his arms see him turn and stomp the ground where the fish chorus was so hard it leaves a crater.

I'm sure the fish are fine.]

[ourtomorrow]

[ Ken, fortunately, does miss this, though Wormmon shivers. Did he just hear a "thud".....?

Well, if Ken-chan's okay, it's probably nothing.

He does have to look back to check with Nanami-san later, though. ]

This way?
