[ 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. ]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[ Beetlejuice huffs and puffs as he glowers after the seagulls. He doesn't notice her hand on him until she's already got her heel back on. It's enough to brighten his mood. Oooooh physical contact!]

[He takes her hand and twirls her on the spot before tugging her close.]

What's your name, angel food cake?

[ nope, nope and nope, she can smell him from here. while she allows the twirl, she rests a palm against his chest to keep that stink from soaking into her clothes. the dress might be a pain in the ass but running around smelling like him is even less appealing.

once she’s achieved some distance, she waggles her finger at him as a reprimand and tsks softy. ]

Not like that you don’t, maybe after a bath.

[ deadpan, she grabs him by the chin to get him to get a better look of her. ]

Verosika.

[ He doesn't take offense. He just grins wolfishly at her and lets out a weird little growl when she grabs his bristly chin. When she names herself, his brows spring up.]

Verosika! V-baby! Love the look!

[ He spreads a wing to brush against one of hers. ]

How'd this happen?

[ at least someone loves it, because she clearly does not. ]

How did I go from succubus to some Vestal Virgin? Like I know, I just showed up like this and those shitheads started following me.

[ her wing twitches behind her at the caress and she glares at it like it owes her money. ]

This is gonna kill my image. What part of this looks sexy? None of it.

Weeeeeeeeell I'll admit, I was a huge fan of all the sharp and pointy bits. But! Soft can be sexy! They make those fuzzy handcuffs for a reason!

[ He produces a pair of pink ones from his pockets and twirls one cuff around his finger. ]

Look at the bright side! You could toootally play up the juxtaposition! Make it a shtick! Folks love a good shtick!

You always keep those handy? You really are a degenerate, BJ. Sorry, Beetlejuice.

[ she snatches the cuffs from him and promptly slaps them on his wrists before tugging him along by the chain as if it were a leash. it serves two purposes: on one hand she does enjoy his company and on the second? he smells so fucking bad that people will fuck off and leave her alone.

it’s like mosquito repellent for angels. ]

The only position you should be worried about is your own. I could tug your ass all over heaven like this.

Always!

[ He feels a pleasant shiver when she speaks his name. It's so nice to hear it. And then she's captured him! Beetlejuice's cheeks dimple as he grins and drifts along behind her like a half deflated party balloon.]

[Her threat his met with feigned distress and the dainty voice of a southern belle.]

What ever shall I do?

My kind of guy.

[ nice to know some things here don’t change. if she has to come back, at least there is still a familiar, albeit smelly, face among the crowd. small victories and all that.

pausing, she rattles the chain between the cuff and raises an eyebrow at him. ]

You can start by helping me bust out of here, this place is going to make me gag. Elevator time, you in or out, Beej?

[ He meets her raised brows with a pair of waggling ones. He clenches and un-clenches his hands in something like anticipation. Or as though he's struggling against the handcuffs.]

It'd be my pleasure. Remind me, you been to The Devil's Nest yet? It's been a minute.

A few times, yeah.

[ oh-ho, she knows that place very well, but the one who runs it more so. the smirk she wears is almost devious. ]

Greed is still here? Good, I owe him a little payback, maybe I can kill two birds with one stone. I’ll show him what happens when you make me hot at the beach then bail.

[ with a hum, and as if she didn’t just blurt that out, she tugs her newfound puppy through the crowd. of all the places she could have ended up, of course she showed up here again. but at least there’s a pot of gold at the end of this rainbow. ]

When did you start using Beetlejuice? You wouldn’t be trying to ghost me now would you, big guy?

Only about six hundred years ago--I told you before, babe, I couldn't tell you my name. Demon stuff. Buuuuuut things are different now! Let's just say I have friends in low places.

[ Is that what you're calling Lucifer, BJ? Your friend? The guy you piss off and disappoint on the regular? ]

Uh-huh, friends in low places. You made a deal with the big guy, I know he’s not giving you something for nothing. Nobody’s that fucking nice.

[ she couldn’t possibly look more amused than she does right now. ]

Are you going to tell me what name you prefer or do I get to pick one for you?

Yeah, well...I'm doin' community service. Or some shit. But it's worth it.

[ The ghoul actually averts his eyes for a second. He is struggling very much with this Being Good thing. But now she's asking him a question and he turns his attention back to her, all smiles. ]

Please, call me Beetlejuice. And I'll tell ya somethin' else--if you ever wanna see my rugged yet beautiful face, all you gotta do is call for me three times.

Who am I to rag on someone for trying to better themselves? Good for you. If you ever need a break, you know where I am.

[ for the tidbit of information, she shows him one of her more genuine smiles. being good isn’t for her but if it’s working for him? she’ll hype him up. ]

You know, normally when people have to say things three times in horror movies, someone fucking dies. You seem more like a la petite mort kind of guy—

[ she tips his chin up and leans in oh-so close, like she might kiss him, but stops just shy of doing so. ]

So, I’ll call you.

[ Oh, BJ is already opening mouth hoping to catch that kiss--but it never comes! And somehow, that's even better. Rrrrr! ]

I'll be there in two shakes, babe.
