[ 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. ]

Clean up crew

It's not often Klaus is surprised to wake up in a new place without any memory of it, but it usually comes with a weird bus ride or something beforehand. Except that first time. That came with no warning.

Getting hit on top of the head is probably less weird than the fact that he has scales on his arms and legs and webbed toes and fingers. This is officially a weird time to be alive. They aren't currently aware of the fact that there's a generalized glow around him. It's just a light, warmth, but Klaus hasn't actually noticed anything at the moment.

"Well, this is weird."

Heavenly sing-a-long

Klaus is not sure they know what to do with the fish and crabs singing any more than they do the hotel that looks super bright and white. Heaven's definitely different. Nothing like his void. Like if the Hotel Obsidian was a bright and cheerful place. They don't know what to do with that whole situation.

"You really should be singing songs I know if you're gonna Disney me about this." Still they can't help but dance anyway.

Heck-ling times

There's really no point in just staying in one place when there's multiple places to visit and Klaus is sure that they are meant to be in Hell anyway. So he takes the elevator downstairs. The sheep imps stabbing at him gain a small shout of surprise. "Hey! Stop stabbing me!"

Nobunaga isn't sure why Klaus is dancing along instead of roasting and eating the crabs like he did, but it's so cute, he's SO HAPPY!

"You'd really sing along with them?" He'd be more judgmental looking if it wasn't ridiculously obvious how pleased he is.

In the sea creatures' defense 'Kiss the King' is VERY catchy. He forgives them everything!

Klaus brightens immediately when they see Nobunaga. "Hi!" There's a soft laugh before he runs over to hug his husband. It's nice that they don't need to spend too much time alone on that front.

"Of course I'd sing along with them! What could be more fun than singing weird songs with random sea life?" They look down at themself. "While being like...pretty much similar to sea life anyway. It's a weird time, honestly." They shrug. "I was kind of hoping for an actual tail if I was going to be weirdly fishy." For some reason, the warm light is a bit brighter, which is just because he's so happy to see Nobunaga again.

Why is Klaus so adorable? The universe may never know.

Nobunaga takes both Klaus' hands in his own and sways with the singing. Sadly, he can't quite tell what's going on with the light, because for all of Oda's dramatic 'curse the brightness' etc, he's also too giddy to care. "I like you better with legs. Easier to get real tail from you." Should he be talking like this in the heavens? Maybe not, but that sort of means Oda does it all the more.

"Did you have trouble getting here?" Because Klaus doesn't really die and stay dead, normally a boon as far as the Demon King is concerned. He's also really fucking relieved that Klaus doesn't seem mad at him for dying. "I must have told a half dozen people I was looking for you. Apologies in advance if it gets weird. I love you." Because if the world ends in the next five seconds, he wants that said.

It is truly a skill.

Klaus smiles brightly as Nobunaga takes their hand in his. There's a hint of a giggle at his words, but there's a part of him that feels a little weird about the jokes even with there being no reason for it. He always likes a good innuendo. "Bet I could do it even with a tail." But he has his doubts.

They shake their head at the question. "I mean, it's just an elevator ride, right? But there was a lot of water and that was a bit weird, right? Buuuuut it was pretty easy to get up here. Not sure why I've been relegated here, but such is life." Meanwhile, Klaus can't really be mad at Nobunaga for dying given his penchant for dying. Plus, they did a lot of dying activities back on the ship. "Aw. That's cute of you. I love you, too. I'm sure it won't get weird. We're married."

"You definitely could. You would find a way. I still love your legs as is."

The grin broadens about the elevator ride. So silly, so cute! "No, I meant dying. Usually I feel like I'm the one following your red thread," he holds up their pinkie fingers. "But this time you're following me. And I'm not surprised. You might not be the annoying kind of religion, but you are still a spiritual leader." He lightly rubs his nose to Klaus'!

As for married, the grin drops all its feral demon king and goes straight to wholesome again, even blushing slightly! "We are! I'm glad you remember, though I was getting ready to seduce you either way. It's hard to tell time here, but I feel like I had so many things I wanted to say and show you. There was a talking car, Megumin's explosions, Dynamight: a superhero who also does explosions, and Mitsuhide is fluffy now. I had him shoot me with a candy gun. And I met more Americans. Philadelphia is opposite of California, no? But Dee has Jeff's 'grunge' vibes. You'd like her. She's also not comfortable with cannibals, but I guess most people aren't." Nobunaga accepts his weirdo-ness in this. "Oh, and more Japanese compatriots too! Kazuma and Dynamight and a few others." And Nobunaga rests his forehead against Klaus'. "I might be manic. I haven't slept for a month again." But it's fine, when they first met he was like this too.

Klaus smiles brightly at that. "We should behave. We're in public." There is something in him that feels the need to express that for reasons Klaus isn't actually focusing on.

"Oh. That." They shrug. "I mean, what's another death in my list of deaths at this point. It's apparently not a real thing anyway. Guess god still doesn't like me." They are relieved at least. The idea of being somewhere alone seems bad and incredibly sad. "Well, you know we're not about to let each other go where the other one can't follow, right? So what's the point of dying if we can't find each other."

There's a softer smile here, something less teasing, less intense about it. "Oh? You were going to seduce me, huh? It would seem a little strange if I was acting this way and didn't remember you." He's happy to remember, though. Even if they can remember the dying bit and the everything else. They do their best to listen as Nobunaga starts to ramble about people and things that they don't know anything about.

"I'm not even surprised you let someone shoot you with a candy gun. Did you get to eat the candy?" As for Philadelphia. "That's kind of closer to me, actually. In Pennsylvania. On the east side of the country. Same side and Florida, but up higher." There's a small nod at that. "I mean, I don't think I'd be fine being around people eating people in a food way either. To be fair." He reaches up to tweak Nobunaga's nose slightly. "Well, you'll need to try and get some sleep soon, then. Do you want to go find somewhere to sleep for a little while?"

Public shmublic. But Klaus owns Nobunaga's soul, and Oda will oni kidnap them to Hell later.

"Exactly." Nobunaga gently squeezes Klaus' hand and locks their pinkies together. Even beyond death for them.

"Yeah! It was pretty good. Might have just been Pez, but I don't think there's any candy I dislike."

As for Pennsylvania-- "Oh right! That's where your mother's from, right? The err Amish cult?"

As for cannibals: "Well, definitely avoid the deer monster shadow. Or call me, Mitsuhide, or the radio guy -- not Shakky, the deer guy who the shadow's from-- for help."

Nobunaga's knees just weaken as Klaus mentions sleep. He glomps them, arms around their shoulders and clings. "I love you so much." He would give them his soul all over again if Klaus didn't already own it. "But you're dancing. And I want to put flowers in your hair. And there's no way I'm sleeping up here. The imp sheep might stab you though. Don't worry. They're like Diego. It's how they say hello."

A random goofy blushing smile and Nobunaga kisses Klaus' hand. It's chaste enough, right? "Hey. Can I marry you all over again?"

Klaus expects pretty much nothing else from his husband after this long together.

Locking their pinkies together is something extra cute, but for the sake of not getting them into a heated shenanigan, Klaus refrains from telling him about it. Later, when it's just them and there isn't that niggling feeling of propriety for some reason, Klaus will definitely tell him how cute he's being. But for now, it will be a good and PG situation. PG-13 at the most.

"Yeah. I don't know if they'd call themselves a cult, though. Ha. They're religious people, but yeah. The Amish people are from Pennsylvania. They were hella rude, though. I don't think I'll ever go back." There's a shrug at that. It's not a big deal. It's just one of those things. Plus, she wasn't there anyway. No point in going back. Except maybe he could break his aunt out and take her...somewhere.

"Uhhh...I'm almost nervous to ask what the deer monster shadow means...and what Radio Guy? Was he killed by the TV?" This is a joke that they don't expect Nobunaga to get, but it's funny nonetheless. "The Deer Guy is named Shakky? Weird, but I guess that's fair. But uh...do I wanna know what that guy's deal is?"

There's a soft laugh at Nobunaga and it pains them not to call him cute, but he is BEHAVING. Or something. "I love you, too, babe. And I do love singing with the weird fish and stuff, but we could do a nap and come back out for singing and hair flowers." They look around, not sure exactly why the up here is bad for sleeping, but...they shrug. If Nobunaga prefers their own room, that's fine. "Am I allowed to kick them if they stab me?" That seems like a bad thing to do, but Klaus is sure it's fine.

"You're being...hmmm...I think there's a word for it...and I can say that word in private. Later. Begins with a C." But he smiles brightly anyway. "But yeah. I think we could swing a second marriage. I dunno how the general populace does all this, but...I'm sure it's fine."

Yes, only call Nobunaga cute when he can bite. Mitsuhide is even more teasing than ever and it's been driving Oda's Pavlovian instincts that Klaus primed and conditioned insane.

Nobunaga does get the joke for once, and nods sagely. "Video killed the radio star." Klaus speaks in between 40% to 90% pop music references, so Nobunaga had spent most of his time since meeting them learning and cramming all he could. "I don't know if that's how he died, but it'd be really funny! He runs a radio program in hell and his angel costar is a squid dj, she's also very rad." Or maybe cool. He forgets the nuance difference. "No no, shakkey was a dj on the ship. The deer guy is uh..." right he forgot to ask. Oops. "I forget. He might have said it, but I was distracted. I wanted to fight his shadow."

"You're allowed to do anything you want to them, especially if they stab you. They're my minions, but you know how incorrigible demons are."

All the furious blushing!

"I'm not cute!"

You bastard! Intimating it is just the same as saying it

But actually Nobunaga is less bitey more blushy by being the one to say it, so there's that.

And the singing aquatic animals in the background burst into verse about demon kings in denial and the blushing is cute and Nobunaga wants to skewer them all.

Klaus beams when Nobunaga responds to his joke while knowing him. "Aw. You got it!" They're very proud of him and it's very obvious. "You should find out from him. He has an angel costar? There are angels here?" He pauses, realizing where they are and then makes a small sound of surprise. "Guess we are in Heaven. But the angel is in hell?" There's a head tilt before things click back into place. "Ohhh. Sharky. Yeah."

They could be surprised that their husband wanted to fight someone's shadow, but they aren't. "Of course you did, babe."

The blushing makes Klaus grin. "Just remember, you said it!" There's something intensely funny about the song changing behind them and Klaus looks over as they start to sing about how he did say it even if he didn't say the word.

"Do you want to go to wherever you're staying?"

Nobunaga blushes EVEN MORE. His accent rarely gets the best of him, but every so often --

"You're an angel now, babe." He gently pokes Klaus' cheek, but nods. "She stays in heaven usually but the elevator lets travel to both. And she stayed with me on the elevator when I first got here and was nervous about it." Klaus knows why. The paranoia and traps and ninja assassins. "So I told her all about you, because I couldn't read the room that she was making small talk." That's Nobunaga for you!

"Mm." A nod about going down to Hell. "They have BDSM rooms in the hotel but they charge extra for those and--" You might want to kiss him to shut him up.

It's so cute of him. Klaus resists the urge to say it, though. But if Nobunaga looks too close, he might find evidence of Klaus thinking it loud enough.

"Ehhh. I wouldn't say that. I'm just like a weird little gremlin in a weird place. And kinda scaley. I'd call me more of like a water menace? I don't know."

But they are infinitely grateful to whoever they were that they didn't mind spending time with Nobunaga all the same. Even if he did overshare. For the discomfort of the elevator. At least now he could do his best to take over from now on. "I'm sure she's fiiiine. I overshare all the time, so she can't feel any more weird having met me when she does."

There is a part of him that wants to hear more about the rooms, but for now, a mostly chaste kiss will have to do. "I think you need to sleep first. We'll worry about BDSM rooms later."

He sees that evidence, and accepts it. Klaus is keeping it internal, so he won't bite him. Yet. In public.

"You're my gremlin, and you're always gorgeous."

He laughs and squeezes Klaus' hand! "I think she might enjoy that, since she's an angel and it seems weird for her. Although hell too."

But he gives a super childish whine about sleep! "But I missed you..." It's only been a month-ish, but this is Nobunaga who starts panicking after a couple of weeks without Klaus. Klaus is his emotional support ex-cult leader, okay.

"Oh! What tattoos do you have?" He takes off a gauntlet to reveal the Yes on his left hand top. "I've got No on the other. But I didn't even know which tattoos you'd have. It was kind of hard to tell people what to look for to be honest. But Megumin and the talking car know that you're all kinds of unpredictable. Oh oh oh!" .... He was going to tell Klaus he was inside of the talking car, but as he already said they were a car...

Also he's chickening out and blushing up a storm. "I went for a ride in someone!" EYE GLEAM! YES. NAILED IT?!

"People oversharing is weird for her? As an angel? That sounds weird to me. Isn't that the basis of prayer? Or do angels not have to put up with that?" Cause that seems like a very angel-ish thing. But maybe it's just god.

"And you just told me you haven't been sleeping." There's a tap to his nose at that. As for the tattoos, there's very much a HELLO and GOODBYE on his hands as well as the Umbrella Academy tattoo and they are planning to tease Nobunaga about his hand tattoos.

All of the general teasing vibes are out the window at the last words and whatever soft light Klaus was emanating is now strangely brighter. Like a very angry lightbulb that would like to pierce someone's eyes.

It's just a brief flash of something before it calms down a little. Mostly because Klaus is counting down from ten. "When you say you went for a ride in someone..." Their voice is unusually calm because there's a part of them that wants to be not unusually loud. It's rare for jealousy to really peak out, but apparently it's the moment for it all.

"I have no idea. I know demonology. There's no angels in Buddhism. Just devas. And I only remember them as messengers of God in the Western bible."

More whining! "I haven't been, but even so!" Nobunaga lines their tattoos up together.

But oh look! Nobunaga actually thought Klaus was incapable of jealousy for some reason. The worst part of him loves it. It's super sexy. The majority of him is the closest to near panic he can get. He drops the hands and gulps.

Deep breath. That was fun, he will never do it again. The making Klaus intentionally jealous thing, he'll still go for car rides or whatever else is offered, probably.

Both hands up, Nobunaga steps back close to Klaus, cherishing their face and puts their foreheads together. "Talking car. Don't worry, I had a snake seat belt on. Like you gave rides to friends with levitation. Not sexually. Sorry, that was a lot funnier in my head. I love you. I only want the best. That's you. Besides, you know how hard it is for me to trust new people. I couldn't have sex with someone else for ages yet, I'm completely ruined for anyone else, they can't compare." He picks Klaus hand back up and kisses it! "Please forgive me. I wanted to make you laugh."

Edited (Phone typoes fuck me) 2024-06-30 04:59 (UTC)

Klaus doesn't know really anything about actual religion. He's well versed in the bullshit he spouted about spirituality and being one with nature and your body and other bodies, but not this one. There's like a lot of weird movies about religion, but they aren't even fun to make drinking games out of for the most part. They'd rather watch Lavalantula every time.

"Don't make me be the one to carry you." It's a threat, but with the telekinesis, less him carrying and more Nobunaga being carried.

They squint their eyes at Nobunaga, watching him closely for a moment. Sure, they hadn't been there, but HONESTLY. He reaches up to flick Nobunaga in the nose. It might not be the right choice, but Klaus is making it the right choice. But they'll allow Nobunaga to have their hand anyway. "If you ever do that again, you're gonna have no sex for as long as it takes me to detox..." This is unlikely as Klaus has no ability to resist, but it seems a reasonably possible threat.
