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. ]

The Wasteland?

[Dee raises an eyebrow, cocks her head to one side. Then she snorts like she's thought of something hilarious, and says:]

Where're you from? Philly?

[Dee thinks she's making a joke. Unfortunately for her, she will probably just cause some confusion. Oops?]

[fromthevault]

[Lucy takes her comment 100% seriously.]

Oh no, I believe my Vault's closer to Los Angeles? Philly would be a heck of a long walk from where I am.

cw: kidnapping

[agiantbird]

[Dee's brow furrows, and she blinks a couple of times before saying:]

...Your Vault? Shit, are you one of those kidnapping victims who gets locked away for twenty years?

cw: kidnapping mention as well!

[fromthevault]

What? No, no! The Vaults were perfectly - well, they weren't exactly safe, that's why I had to leave so I could find my dad after he got kidnapped, but they were safe up until that point!

[And that well, turned out horribly, but...]

cw: kidnapping/stockholm syndrome mention

[agiantbird]

So... you voluntarily lived in a Vault? And your dad got kidnapped from a Vault?

[This is... so strange to her. Is this a weird Stockholm Syndrome thing? Dee has no idea.]

[fromthevault]

Well, yes! It's actually a really nice community, and we've got everything we need to live comfortably.

And he did. I went out into the Wasteland to rescue him.

[agiantbird]

The Wasteland. That sounds like a... real pleasant place. [Dee says with a grimace.]
