[ 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

[At first it was all smiles from Charlie at seeing new people. Less because she was genuinely happy and more because she wanted the first thing they saw was to see a smiling face. She still wasn't sure how to handle people who may or may not have actually died. But, then? She sees... her.]

...No. Way.

[Subtleties were tossed aside in the name of getting closer and making sure Charlie's eyes weren't deceiving her. She knew that look, even if the attire and other features had changed.]

Verosika??

Shit.

[ .. shit. is she going to get crap for bullying a cherub who clearly had it coming? she slowly cranes her neck just in time for Charlie to walk over. first her ex, now her.. well, whatever she is to her.

she blows her bangs away from her face and turns to meet her, wings twitching behind her with her unease. what does someone say when being reunited with someone they like? ]

I look like Pastel Barbie and I fucking hate it.

[ nailed it! ]

[It's objectively a bad decision to say something positive about Verosika's appearance right now. Charlie understood this. And, yet...]

Your wings look really, really nice!

[She sniffs. She knows it's a "mix up". That Verosika (to her knowledge) hasn't experienced redemption. But... she can't stop herself from feeling happy at just the appearance of it. That Verosika would some day walk so far to learn how to love herself, to regret her sins, to be and do good...]

And... so does the rest of you. --Pastels and all!

[Charlie's emotions were on the brink. Her eyes shining with happy tears that were threatening to spill over.]

[ when she brings up the wings, she stretches one out to nudge it against her. basically an invitation to touch them if she wants to, she strikes her as the petting zoo type and who doesn’t love soft things? ]

If you get snot on my dress I’m going to be so pissed.

[ a complete and utter lie, it would delight her because it means she can change even faster. stupid ass prom looking dress, at least she is making an attempt to liven the mood? whatever the mood is that is making her eyes well up. ]

You’re looking at me like a proud parent right now and I don’t know how I feel about that.

[ but she does play it off by shooting her a coy little smile. ]

Did you miss me that much, Princess?

[There's no way Charlie could resist, she pets at and strokes those soft fluffy wings.]

Oh, of course I missed you! I was worried about you! I know you said you're a big girl, and you can take care of yourself, but, I was still worried we'd miss the talent show, at least! We'd worked so hard on our act together.

[She gives a laugh at the 'proud parent' remark.]

Sorry! I'm just... excited. I am. So. Excited! To see you again! Where were you?

[...Charlie hasn't stopped stroking Verosika's wings.]

[ the feeling reminds her of getting her hair brushed by someone else, a little pampering never hurt anyone. ]

I’m a professional, Charlie, why wouldn’t I turn up for a gig? Even this shitty ass place can’t keep me from doing what I want.

One minute I was in our hell and the next I was back here, I guess this shithole got attached to me. So here I am in all of my pastel glory looking more like the prom queen than a bad bitch.

[ she folds her arms, shooting her a mischievous smile. ]

You must have missed me a lot if you can’t keep your hands off of me. [ did she have to put it that way? nah! does she regret it? absolutely not. ]

[There may as well be a sound effect of a car's brakes screeching as Verosika makes that comment and the neurons in Charlie's brain fire. Oops.]

No, no! I just think they're... neat!

[She lets go, blushing severely.]

I guess some things never change, hm?

[ there’s a fondness there as she raps her finger against Charlie’s nose lightly. ]

I still remember the routine, but I wouldn’t mind a refresher. Unless you found another partner who moves better than I do?

[ she knows she didn’t, it’s hard not to tease her though. ]

Y-Yes! I've always thought wings were... neat!

[That probably sounded even worse, but it was the best thing she could think of.]

I could never! But... maybe we could also look into more... innocent, virtuous songs? Just to keep the act consistent with your new look!

Charlie, girl, it’s not like I’m going to bite you for liking the wings.

[ way worse but she’ll take pity on her and jump topics. plenty of time to tease her later. no, maybe she has one more bullet to fire. ]

Like A Virgin would be pretty ironic, wouldn’t it? They would never know my to-do list is a mile long.

[ with that she flips her hair over her shoulder, directing a knowing smile at Charlie. ]

There's a "bite me for other reasons" joke in there, isn't there? Hahaha...
