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. ]

Kam? A badass name for a badass cat! Hey, does she always look like someone pissed in her litter box or is it just me?

[ sure, she was just warned against saying things so freely but to do anything but continue would be against her character. a glutton for punishment? hardly, she is just so unaccustomed to feeling any semblance of fear that she shrugs it off. ]

I wonder if she’s like Gura-Gura, she could probably take him in a fight. I know that look! That cat has seen some shit, I’d trust her before I trusted anyone else. Bet she can spot danger a mile away.

[ having said what was on her mind, she straightens up and looks down at Greed with a quiet hum of interest. she makes no secret of the fact that she is sizing him up, eyes sliding from head to toe behind the lenses of her mask in a manner that shows this isn’t her first rodeo. if her size doesn’t speak volumes then the specks of blood littering her tracksuit will.

with a jovial laugh, she folds her arms across her chest after pointing directly at him. ]

You look pretty badass yourself! Four arms, the tail, the horns.. I like it! Guess that means I like you too, huh? Can’t get complacent here but tellin’ someone they look cool as shit doesn’t count, right?

You fight? I’m gonna be lookin’ to let off some steam later and I wanna fight someone strong. [ of course, to emphasize the strength, she flexes for him. even on her worst day, she would absolutely destroy a normal human. ]

[nestingdevil]

Ah, yeah. Don't take it personally. [Greed brings the glass up to his face, but waits to take a pull.] She's not exactly the friendliest one of the bunch. [He tilts the drink in his hand as he shoots a pleasant look Kamora's way. The cat of the hour has long since taken up residence on her usual podium; her tail lashing briskly along the stack of name cards and dollars like it somehow offended her.]

[The Sin turns his attention back to Noi.] Don't know what a Gura-Gura is. [He takes a serving of ice and scotch into his mouth, crunches his teeth once, then swallows the whole combination down.] But you're right. I'm sure she could give whoever he is a run for his money.

[And oh, he knows that look anywhere. Running a place like this, running a place like before, there is no short supply of people curious to see what he's made of. So, he meets the look with a thin smile; one dastardly, coy, and every bit as wicked as his given sin.]

Ha - ! Jump right into it, don't you? I like your enthusiasm. [The end of his tail chitters as it brushes against the floor. He's excited, intrigued. This person, whoever they are, has no hesitation at all, do they? It's as if whatever filter they may (or may not) have had is gone, letting all their wants spill out as plain as day.]

[Honestly? It's a nice change of pace.]

[The Sin sets his glass down on one of the barrels nearby and gives the brim of it a thoughtful tap of his claw. Znnk.] No, it doesn't count. But I meant what I said, at least. You're an interesting one. [He pulls his hand away and settles it on the curve of his hip.]

But now you're asking the right questions. And I hate to disappoint, but it would be kind of rude of me to fight in my own Fight Night, wouldn't it? [Greed forces a hum to hammer in his chest, turning his throat jittery with the vibration.] People might start getting the wrong idea about me, and that's bad for business.

Tell you what. [His eyes dart to Noi's muscles, to the bulk of them, and his expression festers wild on his jaw.] When we aren't placing live bets, why don't you come on by? Show me everything you're made of, friend. And I promise, I'll return the favor.

First thing's first - [The former homunculus guides his nails across his collarbone, striking softly at the fabric of his shirt.] - the name's Greed. What do I call you?
