[ 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. ]

Millie | Helluva Boss | Heaven-sent

[milliecombat]

[Garden level]

Okay, now there just has to be some kinda mix-up.

[So states the short woman of a definite heavenly nature, trying to catch the eye of a couple sheep too busy to give her the time of day.]

If y'all could just- I'd really like just a minute - If you don't--

[She's been keeping it cool, but it's not long until she's outright grappling for one of the hosts, and lets out a bust of rage.]

Somebody'd better tell me what the [BLOOP] is GOING ON!!

[Heck-Ling times]
[At least this was more like it. From the moment she exists the elevator, and a duo of imps try to stab her, Millie is already feeling much better about her situation.]

Hoo-wee! How's that for a friendly greeting. [She states openly to the lobby, not-so-gently depositing the two imps (unconscious) onto a nearby couch and clapping the dust from her hands.] Haven't had a good knife fight since my last festival in Wrath!

[But it's not all sunshine and bloody brawls. There's still whirlpools outside, and if she hears someone falling into the drink, Millie might just put her new wings to use and dive in after you. A literal angelic hand from above.]

Need a hand, hon?

[Garden level]

[grumpface]

[Husk makes a sound that is halfway between a "heh" and a "huh".]

Don't bother with them. They're very effin' incompetent. I'm supposed to be a sinner. I've been in this rip-off version of heaven and hell for months now. Best to just get used to it.

[milliecombat]

[She's hunched, like an animal ready to strike, before Husk rips Millie back into focus.]

You're tellin' me that I'm stuck in a ripoff of Hell? But I've got work to do back in Imp City!

[grumpface]

You, me, Charlie, Alastor, Lucifer, Fizzaroli, Stolas, Blitz, Asmodeus, and the Vees, too.

[milliecombat]

Wait, Blitz is here?

[To say nothing of him, the princess of hell, two of the sins, and the Vees???]

Well hot [SPLORTCH]! Least I'm not alone then. [Hmm, she tugs softly on her wing.] Now, if only I could do something about this getup.

[grumpface]

If you wanna dismember yourself, then by all means, go right ahead. I just ain't gonna help ya. That's probably the only way to get rid of the wings. Other than that, maybe you can find some skin paints or somethin'.

But yeah, Blitz is here. He's a good fighter. Saw him in action at an underground fightin' pit I now like to bet at.

[milliecombat]

Underground fightin' pit?

Maybe this place isn't so bad.

[grumpface]

[The white-and-gold and halo's former sinner now winner can't help but form a smirk at that reaction.]

Just ask around for Greed. Not Mammon, there's another guy around here called Greed who owns a bar named Devil's Nest that has the fightin' arena in it.

garden level.

[twominutes]

[ an also heavenly fellow (he only has one wing now, for some reason, but we don't talk about that) pauses mid-step and stares openly while the gears in his head turn and he tries to remember why this angel looks familiar and— ]

Oh ████, ████! Hey, wait, come here!

[ the censoring sounds like a clown's jingle bells. he hurries on over, skidding to a stop in front of her in his full robo-limb glory. with a little wheeze, he holds up a finger to catch his breath before: ]

Your man's here and he's been waiting for you to show up. We talked about it like two weeks ago or something. Time is ████ed up here so I don't remember. Also, sorry for being a ████ to you that one time! Should have led with that. [ a beat. ] You are Millie, right? Sorry, you just look really different. Not that I wouldn't know about that.

[ grumble grumble stupid halo. stupid extra eye. stupid shitty wing. this guy's like a fuckin' lil clown chihuahua or some shit when he's not hamming it up onstage, ain't he? ]

Also, the sheep don't know ████ about ████, don't bother asking them.

[milliecombat]

[What an odd cacophony of noise, almost... familiar.]

Wait, what're you...

[This is a lot of information up front. Time is fucked? This guy was a dick? He knows who she is? Boy, he sounds almost like-]

Aw, [DINGDONG], Fizzaroli? What're you doing here... lookin' like that? That's not real, is it?

[twominutes]

[ okay, the time thing might just be fizz because he's a mess and he's not great at like, keeping track of time. but the rest? THE REST? yeah.

anyway: ]

Yeah, yeah, it's me! [ a beat. ] No, it's real. It's all real and I hate it! Just like yours are real too. It reeeaaally blows.

Garden

[cockadoodledome]

Oooo - give it to 'em!

[Well, she has at least one in the cheering section. Someone who absolutely does not recognize her, but has parked his ass in the Garden to uh. Totally not keep an eye out for a certain green asshole. Nope. Just lounging.]

[And currently enjoying the fact she seems to be kicking the stuffing out of one of their irritating little hosts.]

[milliecombat]

[Giving them what they want! 'Them' being the audience Millie's drawn, not the poor, unfortunate sheep who have gotten in her path, the one in her arms was already tapping out before she give him a kick on the rump and sent him rolling on his way.]

Aaahh!! [She roared in a plainly un-heavenly was. Of course, without any more sheep, Millie was stuck without a thing to tussle with other than her halo, which had been always hanging just within her periphery, enough to annoy the shit out of her, and try as she might it wouldn't come off!!]

Get me outta this two-bit costume!

[cockadoodledome]

[All right, once the show's pretty much over, and she's... just wrestling with herself, it's kind of sad.]

Sorry - it ain't a costume. [He's calling over to her, because, quite frankly, getting in her way sounds ill advised, even if she's just trying to shred that halo..] Welcome to bargain basement hell, where some of you get chucked upstairs.

And... decked out. Appropriately.

[Garden level]

[not_a_possum]

[Moxxie was up in the garden level, checking out the new arrivals when he saw her. He was both completely overjoyed to see Millie after so long without her, and completely confused.]

Uh...Millie? I know they said this was all a clerical error, but that is definitely a huge clerical error.

[And it meant she'd be staying in Heaven instead of in the Hellraiser Hotel, he realized disappointedly. He pushed the thought out of his head, because at least she's here at all.]

But I'm really glad to see you, Sweetie. Angel or not.

[milliecombat]

[A lot of things weren't right, but maybe there could be one correct fact in this world: that Moxxie was here, so Millie's day was drastically improved.

Which is to say, she's wasting zero time in leaping into her husband's arms.]

Eeeee! Mox! Oh, you have no idea how glad I am to see you as yourself!

[The disappointment will come later. Right now, she's happy.]

I'm so sorry 'bout this. Feels just wrong, right?

[not_a_possum]

[Moxxie happily catches her in his arms.]

And I'm so happy to see you, too! Wait. As myself?

[Is she just glad he's not an angel or was there more weirdness going on that he doesn't know about? He looks her over.]

Yeah, seeing you turned into an angel does seem...strange, but you're more beautiful than any other angel I've seen, so at least that part's normal. So, how does it feel, anyway? Being an angel. Is it just cosmetic, or are there other differences?

...are you censored?

[Because he knew angel Fizzarolli had lost the ability to cuss, so he had to wonder.]

Heck-Ling also duuude, she would love millie

[sado]

[ without warning, a hearty laugh erupts from behind Millie, where a person who is nearly twice her height stands with a struggling imp. ]

Hey, that was pretty cool! And here I thought angels were supposed to be all prim and proper. But you kicked their asses!

[ Noi has hoisted one of her own assailants into the air by his nape like one would scruff a cat but, rather than knock him out, she promptly smashes his face against the wall hard enough to—oh, no, he is definitely not just unconscious.

just as casually, she reaches around and pulls two shivs out of her back before letting them hit the ground with a dull thud beside the fallen imp. ]

Man, it’s so boring when they aren’t strong..
