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. ]

"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.
no subject
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.
no subject
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."
no subject
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.
no subject
"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?"
no subject
"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?"
no subject
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."
1/2
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."
2/2
"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.
no subject
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?"
no subject
"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.
no subject
"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."
no subject
"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?!
no subject
"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.
1/2
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.
2/2
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."
no subject
"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.
no subject
"Babe..." He whines pathetically, but yes, he probably deserved that. Nobunaga holds Klaus' hand to his heart. "I promise, I won't." Solemn swear on the river Styx. Wrong religion, but who's counting at this point? Forehead to forehead, he just breathes in Klaus' scent. Somehow he'd forgotten that Klaus was his demon king tamer. The problems with letting someone else have your soul. No regrets, he'll do it again too.
"I can't give much of a tour, a lot has changed since I was last here." Haha, he still thinks he's from Hell, and even knowing this isn't HIS Hell, he kind of feels like it is, and always has been?? "But if you want to see anything in particular, let me know. In general, it's all drugs and partying and stabbings so... maybe not your scene."
no subject
"Oh. Well, I guess that's bound to happen." What they mean by that is...mostly uncertain. Klaus hasn't been to Hell since that time he went to Nobunaga's memories, but even that was a different situation. "That does not seem to be my scene, no. I mean, I might party if you're there and you keep the drinks away from me. But yeah. Maybe they accidentally put me in this place because of the whole...drug scene."
no subject
He's resisting the urge to put Klaus on his shoulders for a classic oni kidnapping but just grunts. "I could rely on the Devil's Nest to make sure not to accidentally slip you something, but I hate ever owing another demon anything, even if Greed isn't one, he still is." The way Nobunaga counted Reginald Hargreaves as a Demon King. "But Hell is all about temptations, especially for someone up above. I'm not sorry for making them more paperwork though. It's probably my fault. But I'll do it again, no regrets."
Nor does he regret letting Klaus have his whole soul. Should he mention that? It seems like Klaus is able to wield it just fine whether it's been blatantly stated or not, on the other hand...
"Do not, under any circumstances sell your soul. Because you own mine," he says it casually, but he has to bite his cheek to keep from wincing. "I need you to keep yours in tact. I'll lend Yato my power, but all of it remains in your hands." A slight shrug even though it's almost helpless feeling "No regrets, I'd do that again too." A happy blush. "Some like Greed might be able to see it, but that's part of the danger. I don't want to share you either."
Even so, Nobunaga makes sure the elevator is all working smoothly! Going down.
"The hotel lobby is usually safe. The imps get restless, but that's not new. But between me and Lucifer, heaven-bound don't get too hassled there. Devil's Nest and the radio deer guy have some heaven types working with them, they're the other two strongest here. As long as you're wearing my mark, same rules as the ship should apply, but I've been away a few centuries so not everyone remembers how Hell used to be before I improved it." It was worse than this? Oh yes. Very. "Mitsuhide's here, and doesn't remember anything. I feel like I've said that more than once. But if you do decide to wander Hell, try to make sure he's with you if you can't find me." He kisses Klaus' cheek! "Or just never leave my side. Even better."
no subject
They tilt their head slightly. "Well, why would I ever give my soul up to anyone but you?" That is probably the correct response. They were married. There was no reason to be unmarried and everything. They laugh softly at the mention of Greed and not wanting to share his soul. "I think you can be a little greedy on that side of things. You're mine, I'm yours."
Klaus considers that for a moment. "Think they'll do tattoos down here? I could get it tattooed?" They have plenty of free skin for it. "Probably somewhere easy to show." So not like over his heart. Even if they'd talked about that before. What would the cost for that be, though? The cost of things was definitely something. "Mitsuhide is going to have to hurry up and remember me or at least know me. Think I can just bowl him over with all the information and wait for him to bounce back?" They smile at the kiss. "I think we might not be able to do that. But we could sleep down here together sometimes. I'll figure out if there are rules or whatever."
no subject
"Oh yeah paperwork strengthens them. But because I went on vacation they were unsupervised." Klaus no, don't believe Nobunaga's propaganda???? He is not god and has nothing to do with this???
But jokes aside (??? Is it a joke if Nobunaga is losing sight of reality and/or never had it to begin with???) he goes almost completely heart eyes and determined to romance Klaus all over again, as if they hadn't exchanged souls or something, but he already wants to. "I'm yours, you're mine," he replies softly practically floating on the tiny bat wings!
"Mitsuhide could probably do the tattoo for free. It's usually only done for criminals in Hell, but I think he'd get a kick out of that. Make sure you remind him. I'm trying not to information flood him this time, but itll be good contrast. And he keeps acting like I'm feverish when I mention space travel or weapon technological developments, so irritating. Oh, and he's a literal kitsune now. You should pet his tails. He has three." Not that Nobunaga can give permission for Mitsuhide, but something something live vicariously.
Nobunaga waves a hand and kabedon leans over his taller soul mate. "The first rule in Hell is there are no rules. The second rule is everything is done by force. Whatever you want, you must always be prepared to back it up. I love you, I'm glad you're here."
Klaus has previously called Nobunaga out on his habit of eye-fucking them, but now more than ever is that happening, like Nobunaga is seeing the entirety of Klaus all new once again, all at once, and only desires to marry them for the millionth time or something. He can't even blame it on the souls or Heaven thing, just sober Klaus is a casual genius, and everything Nobunaga knew he wanted, and had no idea he needed.
no subject
He squints slightly. "I don't think that paperwork is going to help them. Also I don't think this is your Hell, babe. This is just like...another weird pocket world situation." Which seems obvious. But Klaus knows Nobunaga likes to lean into being a demon king too much.
The bat wings are a weird, but cute touch. Wow. He's definitely delusional sometimes, but the way he gets excited makes him so happy. For some reason. Probably because Nobunaga gets so childishly excited about the fact that they are married and about them being a couple in general.
"Maybe instead of over my heart, I can get it on the other arm about the same place as the Umbrella Academy one. Instead on an Umbrella, I'm part of you. You're my new family here." They haven't seen their own family in so long it's pointless to hope for it to happen now. Nobunaga is their husband and if they can't see their siblings again, at least they will have someone. "But we'll have to look into it. See if he's willing." But the part about him being a fox...that's a fox, right? That part is funny. "Sounds cute. Does he like it?"
Klaus glances up slightly but then they look over at Nobunaga again. "Well, I guess you have a point. But for now..." He notices the looks and needs to make a point of it. "You need to sleep. When you wake up, we can see about your other needs."
no subject
A huff. "Obviously, this is baby Hell. It's still mine because I'm here though." Logic??? Or something... Listen, he really needs Klaus to help him remember who he actually is. Ala Mufasa to Simba etc.
For the Demon King, being married is beyond an impossible luxury he assumed he couldn't ever possibly afford. Like time travel. Speaking of exuberance about them being married -- his crimson eyes just widen. "Ah yes!" FAMILY. Without the immense guilt and baggage that word carries as much. He just noms Klaus' neck unsure what else to do with the surge of mixed emotions. "He loves it." Nom. Stupid Mitsuhide. Why is he jealous of him now? "Three tails, ears. He gets silly looking when wet. I can withdraw my horns some when I start talking about you." And gets all soft and romantic, he hates it. But it's useful in theory. "But if there's a way for him to do it too he hasn't figured it out or bothered really."
There's a sheepish laugh and an intense blush matching his eyes. "You're going to be really stubborn on that, huh? Promise you won't leave? There's a lot I need, and even more I want, but mostly it's just you."
no subject
They give their husband a pointed look. "Babe. Just because you are somewhere doesn't mean you own somewhere, okay?" And on another note. "Plus, you don't have to keep being the King of Hell or whatever. You can just be my c- very sexy, very intimidating to others husband."
The neck noms will mostly be pointedly ignored because there's no way to let himself get swept up in it. They would be going against their own words if they did. And that's terrible. "Sounds about right." They lightly poke at Nobunaga's cheek. "No teeth either. Until sleep. And yes, I am very stubborn about that. I won't leave. You'll wake up and I'll be right there. Hopefully less scaley, but who knows?"
