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. ]

Heaven
[He flits down and hangs in the air a few feet away.]
Congrats on beefing it, big guy!
no subject
[What?]
Sorry - what?
[This probably would have been easier to process if Shiro wasn't holding off one of the "angels" in one hand. Like with his hand on their head as they try to push forward.]
no subject
[ Beetlejuice's attention moves to the little sheep fussing over Shiro. ]
Hey, fellas, do us a favor? SCRAM!
no subject
[He was just sitting with Pidge. Everything was fine. Everyone was fine. Except Slav was there...]
[His shoulders un-hunch a bit when the sheep scatter, though.] Thank you.
cw: drug ment.
[ He flings a smelly arm over Shiro's shoulders. ]
All your worries are over! From here on out--if you'll excuse the weather--you can do anything you want! Climb that mountain! Write that novel! Try a fun new drug! I recommend coke.
no subject
[What is happening here. He's so confused, but at least the weird little sheep are gone.]
Do you have to do that?
no subject
[ BJ's brows quirk up in surprise before he brings the heel of his palm to his forehead. ]
Oh, I forgot. You're probably grieving or something! A Good Guy would help you out with that. Let's ah, let's see here...
[ He rifles in his sleeves before he pulls out a box of Puffs With Lotion. ]
Here y'go, kid. Dry those tears!
no subject
[He'll take the tissues though? And look between the box and BJ.]
[Several confused times.]
Who are you?
no subject
[ He perches his chin on his hands and his halo glows merrily. ]
no subject
But I'm not dead. This is some kind of time slip, or a wormhole mix-up.
no subject
[ He holds up a finger with one hand while he takes hold of Shiro's wrist with the other. Beetlejuice holds it against his own ear and appears to listen for a moment before pressing it to Shiro's.]
Take a listen. Sounds like a Jason Derulo concert.
no subject
[Who is Jason Derulo.]
[It may not be helping matters that BJ has his metal arm in hand. Not BJ's fault, though, you can't tell with the armor on.]
no subject
You...
[ He speaks slowly and points to Shir with both pointer fingers. ]
And me...
[ He turns points his thumbs back at himself. ]
Are dead.
[ Beetlejuice takes his own head in his hands and rips it clean off his shoulders with a disgusting noise. The head continues to speak. ]
Get it?
no subject
[NOPE.]
[NOOOOPE.]
[We're sorry, BJ. Shiro's instinct is to uh. React. Badly. To someone doing that. You know those videos of people whose jump scare reaction is to punch the freaky thing? The kind who are banned from haunted houses?]
[Yeah, that's what happens here.]
[He lashes out with a punch. Somewhere in the vague direction of the talking thing.]
no subject
[The punch makes contact easily and BJ cries out in pain before fumbling his head. It falls behind him and goes rolling down a small incline. His body wheels around and feels blindly in front of it.]
[BJ's voice comes from several feet way.]
THE FUCK WAS THAT FOR! Hey! Headless! Over here!
no subject
[He's not handling this very well.]
[And just wants to bolt, clearly.]
no subject
[ BJ's incredulous voice comes from the bottom of the little hill. His body stumbles in the opposite direction. He waits a moment and decides maybe he should try being a little nicer. ]
Hey, do a guy a favor? Push my body this way and I'll show you the elevator.
no subject
[But... Shiro and his eternal struggle to Help People. He doesn't want to go near the headless body. He doesn't want to go near the head.]
[A huge sigh, and he sort of. Carefully. Nudges the body with his foot. Go that way. Shoo.]
no subject
[Evetually, once the Beetlebody trips over the Beetlehead and a small altercation ensues, he manages to reattach it. He twists his head around on his neck three times before it faces Shiro and speaks.]
You got one hell of an arm on you!
no subject
[Maybe he shouldn't be this bad, considering the entirety of his life so far, but are you ever prepared for someone twisting their head on like a bottle top? No. No you are not.]
I'm sorry - I didn't - I really didn't mean to do that.
no subject
[ He points with a wing. ]
no subject
Well... I've always been partial to up?
