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. ]

[That's her excuse, and she'll stick to it.]
I was referring to them comedy roasting us.
[The crabs and fish break into another verse now that the two are cozying up near the fire.]
Shalalala, don't be sad!
The mood ain't so bad!
Go on and kiss the boy!
Shalalala, you'll be glad!
If you just stop being mad!
Go on and kiss the boy!
[Aaaand now Megumin is picking up a crab and hurling it at the others.]
As for HOW we died? We crimson demons are highly magic resistant, so there's no way I was done in by my own spell! More likely those giant toads finally got us.
no subject
At least you went out with a bang. And looked cute doing it.
DAMMIT!
I probably went out trying to save you all heroic like but miscalculated the timing. And Lady Eris sent me here to retrieve you before she could send us back.
(Actually, Kazuma was literally stung/skewered to death by huge bees that made the ones in his world look like cute pets.)
These guys are acting like we’re in a weird musical or an animated movie. That’s why they’re…what’d you call it? Comedy roasting us?
no subject
Well I always look cute, so that's no major surprise. I'm just surprised death is so different from how you described it to me before.
[This is... what... Kazuma's fith death? You'd think he'd know a thing or two about what it's like on the other side, but singing fish was something she was certain he'd remember.]
I don't know what an animated movie is, but this does feel like a bad school production musical. Do you think the afterlife management is having an off day? Maybe all this chaos is a result of that?
[It could be Eris waa called away to oversee something, and her replacement sucks at their job?]
no subject
Yeah, normally it’s a starry night sky and a pair of chairs where you sit with the goddess Eris.
(Where was his fair heroine anyway? If she had been called away to oversee a few things…no wonder they hadn’t been resurrected yet!)
Definitely an off day. These would taste great with some barbecue sauce. Too bad we weren’t given any.
(The spares were probably on a cart that Yunyun’s carrying to their house right now in a vain attempt to challenge Megumin to another match with the promise of a feast afterwards.)
no subject
Yeah... I seem to recall you spending a bit of extra time coming back to life to chat with her. You turning into an Eris SIMP Kazuma.
[WHERE DID SHE PICK UP THAT TERM!? Actually with all the Japanese folks reincarnated into her world, maybe that term did start to circulate?]
Keep yours closer to the flame for a bit, it will give it a smokey flavor.
[She's extremely experinced with roasting fish and crabs. Hell, Kazuma has seen her childhood home after all, he'd probably know why.]
no subject
Better being an Eris simp than an Aqua worshipper. Then again, they preach same-sex relationships. You and Yunyun can finally admit how you feel for each other.
(Outing those two in heaven? Harsh, Kazuma.)
Thanks! I knew about the technique but never tried it before.
1/4
2/4
...
3/4
[Uh oh... she looks mad.]
4/4
THERE'S NOTHING FOR ME AND YUNYUN TO ADMIT, YOU GIANT IDIOT! SHE'S JUST MY SELF-PROCLAIMED RIVAL!
XD
When she starts whaling on him, the crabs and fish they haven’t cooked break into a reprise of love triangles and kissing.)
PLEASE! YOU’RE THE IDIOT IF YOU HAVEN’T SEEN THE LOOKS SHE GAVE YOU SINCE WE LEFT YOUR VILLAGE!
(And he’s finished with being used as a punching bag. Kazuma grabbed Megumin’s hands and pushed…but that causes her to slip and if she’s not careful their lips will make contact and very unexpectedly!)
no subject
And any romantic shipping fish, Megumin is a bit too flaily to keep that close to him. She's incorporated kicking now that he's restrained her hands, and she's full on screaming incoherently!]SHEDOESNOTLOOKATMELIKETHATDAMMIT!!
[She wants to say more but the fish break into another reprise!]
Shalalala, don't make this rated R!
You might go too far!
In trying to kiss the boy!
Shalalala, don't lower the bar!
With your cute co-star!
Why don't you kiss the-
EVERYONE SHUT THE HELL UUUUUUUUP!!!!
no subject
The kick sent his way then…went low. Very low. The fish and crabs stopped singing abruptly. The fish Kazuma and Megumin were cooking had just reached optimal levels of smokey eating.
As for Kazuma? He finally let go of Megumin’s hands only to curl up into a ball and squeal quietly. For a moment or two. Yes he shouldn’t have teased her about Yunyun, but did she have to go THAT far?!)
…If I could move, this is the part of the musical where you’d be left alone with your thoughts about how horribly you treated me!
(Kazuma grabbed both sticks of cooked fish and started eating one amidst tears of frustration. The other wasn’t touched, but he wouldn’t return it right away.)
no subject
K-Kazuma...
[She kneels besides him, and gently strokes his head rather apologetically.]
Are you okay? I sort of... panicked at the last moment there. Do you want me to see if I can go find Aqua?
[She has meant to beat him up... buuuut hitting below the belt was very accidental.]
no subject
I’ll be okay. Just try to be a little more careful next time I screw up, alright?
(Kazuma knows himself well enough that whether he’s in heaven or hell, he’ll do or say something stupid that’ll get him hurt.)
Try the fish Megumin. It’s smokey.
no subject
Fou fee? Fol fou fhap mofey favor woulf impfove if!
[Props to you if you can figure out what Megumin was trying to say here with her mouth full. She's not even 100% sure she knows, but figures it's a good enough way to further apologize.]
no subject
Kazuma takes a moment to swallow before answering her back.)
You’re right! The smokey flavor definitely improved on it.
no subject
[Culinary mastery? Also nice work on your mouth full translating skills Kazuma, A+ marks!]
Anyways, I came up the elevator to see if I could find Aqua somewhere around here. If she hasn't resurrected us, that means she probably died too.
[And you can bet your butt that she'd never let them put her in hell.]
Once we find her, we can probably get this whole afterlife thing worked out.
[Oh ye of great optimism.]
no subject
(Kazuma more likely appreciated the style and poses of the Crimson Demon clan than anything else. Megumin’s mother has…a unique sense of intelligence in regards to her daughter.
Putting Darkness, her own daughter and Aqua to sleep showcased a lot of underlying issues in his opinion!)
More than likely, since I wasn’t able to save her from being eaten. You really think they’ll let us go home? Seems like this place runs differently than the afterlife I’m used to.
(He’s hopeful but has some reservations about things. The crabs and fish have begun humming quietly in the background while they ate.)
no subject
Well Aqua was able to browbeat heaven into allowing you back despite not belonging to our world? I'm sure she knows a thing or two about bullying heaven's management into getting things done.
[Okay... she is a little worried since this seems to be a different heaven... but it's probably fine, right?]
If nothing else time probably works differently here, so by the time we get back it might even be that no time will have passed!
[That was absloute speculation on her part since time certainly seemed to flow the same back home and with heaven, but she's read a lot of books where that wasn't the case!]
no subject
…Actually he totally could, but Megumin’s not the type to up and run.)
True. I’d switch her for Lady Eris any day, but Aqua has the knack of getting things done right…when she’s not screwing up my plans! She’s probably gonna screw this up for us too!
(He’s not wrong. 9/10, every plan Kazuma’s set up has that single chance of being thrown onto its butt by Aqua’s own logic and standards. Namely, her ENTIRE PRESENCE!
Why is he trying to find her again?)
no subject
even though the thought of it made her cry. She was probably the best for taking down the demon king if you were looking for the best min-max build???]I mean... she doesn't always screw up the plan? Just... often... usually does?
[Now Kazuma is pointing out the biggest major flaw in their plan relying on Aqua... Aqua was far from the most reliable. Almost everything that went wrong was because Aqua did a thing.]
Umm... we're going to be stuck here a really long time aren't we?
no subject
I could flip a coin numerous times, and for every single time I get heads, that’s how many times Aqua has screwed up my plans for our party.
(Direct and to the point. Kazuma nods in response to Megumin’s question.)
Yeah. Better chance of the 3 of us finding a home to live in than getting back home together with Aqua.
no subject
[Megumin seems to have come around to Kazuma's mind set on their chances here rather quickly.]
Well... I have an apartment in hell they gave me, if you want to crash there? I've liked hell a lot more than heaven so far.
[Less singing, more fire, and nobody preaching virtues to them like the Axis cult?]
no subject
(Except for one match, he’s virtually guaranteed a victory at this particular game. Kazuma looks around at heaven a little bit more while the crabs and fish seem to be winding down with the song, sighs and takes a few more bites of his fish.)
Sure! Lady Eris isn’t here from what I can tell and I’m not in the mood to see Aqua right now. We can visit again when the wildlife isn’t serenading us.
(Kazuma quickly finishes his fish off before looking toward Megumin with a small smile and held out his hand, curious to see exactly what her place looked like and how it compares to this part of the afterlife.)
So…why do you prefer hell over heaven? Seems contradictory and I’m sure it’s way hotter than heaven is.
