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. ]

[Monks don't rule the world, Nobunaga does, but that's not something he should say so casually.]
no subject
"Where am I from?" Why? Did you wanna follow me home after they sort my paperwork out?
no subject
[But then he laughs and shakes shakes his head.] I've conquered enough worlds, I might just retire here. [Wait, what?]
no subject
Oh, wow! I didn't think I'd meet another evil overlord down here so soon!
no subject
no subject
Oh, I dunno about conquering places. I just ran a secret organization that ruled from the shadows before I got myself killed. That's all!
[ Even that might not be a hundred percent true. Do NOT underestimate Kokichi Oma. ]
no subject
Black market, casinos, or assassinations?
no subject
Well... Since we had control over several mafias, I'd like to say a bit of everything.
Except maybe the assassinations. If I really wanted to get rid of someone, I could always kidnap them, steal their identity, and dump them in Siberia with a fake one once the poor sap gets declared dead. Might be a lot more work, but it's more fun than just killing them!
no subject
I've never dealt with identity theft though, too impossible with my previous status. But I suppose it's like absorbing another demon's power.
[Almost like the monks weren't just lying?]
no subject
[ Except Kokichi has his own reasons for avoiding murder when he can... Ya know, he might actually have an ally here. ]
Man, you must be from the past or something. Where I'm from, people have things like credit cards and bank accounts that are tied to their personal information. If that sort of info got in the wrong hands, they could cause a whole lot of trouble for the poor sap who got robbed. Like, I dunno, using their money to buy stuff, changing their passwords and using their accounts for scamming people, maybe even selling this info to some shady company who will just send loads and loads of scam calls to you.
And that's just with people's bank accounts and addresses. If you thought that was bad, imagine what someone could do with more important things like birth certificates and driver's licenses...
no subject
Why do you have to be licensed to drive?
[In all his talks about cars and planes, this one didn't come up.]
no subject
[ Would explain all the talk about monks... ]
Okay, so. In the year 2017, where I'm from, people need licences to prove they've learned to dive these big horseless vehicles called cars without going stupid fast and crashing into things. Does that make sense?
no subject
So basically the licenses are because anyone can get access to a car, but they're harder to control than horses. Are machine guns licensed too? [Despite being Sengoku era....]
no subject
[ Kokichi is trying to tell if this guy is lying... And right now it's hard. ]
I'll... Get to that later. First, mind explaining how you jumped around in time so much? Because that doesn't even make sense!
no subject
[To be fair... "So Much" is an egregious overstatement. ONCE would be more accurate. but he had the weird quirk of his life being saved by someone who traveled through time via wormhole, and employing a 21st century doctor who studied wormholes and fell into Oda's natural time period and then in the other place Oda met yet another wormhole studying astronaut (see American space shuttle) + the other sector spacer and a few otherworld aliens. The time he wound up in 21st century Tokyo? And used the power of dance and anachronisms to get all the Sengoku warlords back to their time? ALAS he doesn't remember that! Too bad, so sad, REALLY TRULY FOR THE BEST BECAUSE BREAKING THE UNIVERSE IS DANGEROUS!]
You have no idea how tricky it is to keep track of memories and timelines and what's been rewritten or not. [Like his dying to Akechi Mitsuhide. Did that actually happen? Not that he can remember. But to others they're dead (haha pun intended) sure of it. And meanwhile showing up HERE at the same time as Mitsuhide? Curious. If it didn't happen in a related duel to the death, why the timing? Coincidence?] Not to mention fusing with the proper versions of yourself. The slightest mess up and I could have been a dog or a million versions of a woman. [Actually true.] I know of one case where a time traveler reverted back 70 years in his own timeline. Fortunately he just wound up in his childhood body, but any further mess ups and he could have unmade himself. Indeed, his family did make a kugelblitz due to their misadventures in unmaking themselves in time travel. A kugelblitz is a type of paradox black hole that unmakes the universe. I seem to have a knack for only finding the apocalypse timelines, but I suppose that's to be expected for the demon king.
If you're looking for a way to skip the paperwork and speed things up? Don't. Just enjoy your extra time, it'll be over before you know it. [Quoting the famous play / song Atsumori Oda Nobunaga is known to be a fanboy of:] 50 years of life has a man, compared with those in the heavens, it's just a blink of an eye or a dream.
[And he ticks a finger back and forth.] Be careful not to wake too soon.
[There are no lies in this. At least not directly. By implication and what is NOT said?? PERHAPS, but Nobunaga is of the mindset that it's best not to try to control too hard what conclusions people come to from the crazy shit he says and does, especially not when he can't prove it anyway, controlling the implications from what he doesn't even say is way too much.]
