TDM 002 / MERMAY EVENT

[ 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. ]

[Cupid can't even imagine reaching that point. Even with Allan, an actual incubus, she usually kept her temper. Of course she was raised by Mars, so who knows? There's a slim chance Cupid snaps and copies her father despite really not wanting to!]

Um. It's complicated. [She's been the Goddess of matchmaking for centuries, but not milennia, makimg her still a baby godess, and this not!Celestia is so weird!] I'm... Lynette Mirror. [Even if the other looks like an angel, and is in the heaven realm, demons eat goddesses and Cupid's still trying to avoid her father Mars, finding out where she is. Better safe than grounded indefinitely.]

Maybe I can help you with them? I mean probably not, but sometimes people just need a good buffer.

[succinainteasy]

Complicated? How about being a succubus from Hell that somehow got a ticket to the Pearly Gates? It’s literally my job to tempt people, they’ve gone overboard with this clerical bullshit since I was here last.

[ rather than fork over her name immediately, she sizes her up from head to toe. if Barbie was an angel, she would be this mass of manners and pink standing before her. finally, she lets out an exaggerated sigh. ]

Verosika Mayday. Pop star, party girl, and so on.

[ god, she really is like Charlie. ] If by buffer you mean find me a rolled up newspaper I can hit them with then sure, knock yourself out.

[bestcupid]

That's rough. [Genuinely sympathetic. Claris always winds up hiding behind Cupid when Venus and Minerva show up even when they're in human disguise, so she kind of gets it.]

Please don't hit them, they're just...

[And already Cupid is stumped. They're annoying but--] It might chip your manicure? [Does that count? She tried!] I'd offer to help you with the um succubus thing, but I'm sure you'd tell me the same thing Claris always does -- that you do just fine on your own, just give you the space to walk into any room, and every man there will be at your feet. She's gorgeous too, and it's true.

[Siiiigh!]

They say you can go down there if you want at least? You don't even have to ask Lord Jupiter's permission, because it's not the human realm. And he's busy.
