[ 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. ]

In a cosmic sort of way, maybe she is important. Or, maybe the flock just likes having her around. Either or...

"Ruby. Ruby Gloom." she takes his hand with both of hers and shakes it. "Sorry about all that fuss. It seems like they really like people showing up here... even if it's supposed to be an accident."

She's really adorable. It's nice to see something cute and friendly instead of cute and annoying.

"Nice to meet you." He's very careful when he shakes her hand. He always is, but how tiny she is? Even more so. "Yeah, so it really was an accident? That's - that's a relief, actually."

She's smaller than most of the people here! But a bit taller than the cherubs, so, there's that. She can't help being a kid.

"Yeah. I think it is." Which, admittedly, doesn't amount to much, but stay positive! "I've been here a while, and some people have left, so I guess that means they're fixing whatever the problem is."

"Hey, that's a good sign. If they're leaving, they must be going home."

And people who die don't get to go home. More evidence he's just fallen through a wormhole or something.

"How long have you been here?"

"Uhh..." Now here's where she puts on a cute face, even though she's about to be so, so apologetic.

"A couple months, at least?"

He winces. But then, at the look on her face, he has to add: "Well. That's better than a couple years?"

He's trying.

Did it work?

"Yeah! Now you're getting it!"

That's the key here, surely. Aggressive optimism.

"Before you know it, you'll be on your way too."

The expression he shoots her way is meant to be a smile. It's weak, doesn't quite make it to his eyes, but it's there.

"Thanks, Ruby. I appreciate it."
