TDM 003 - SUMMER

[heckinmods]

[ SEE GAME NAVIGATION TO READ UP ON HECK GAME BEFORE PLAYING IF YOU SO DESIRE ]


A: Garden Level - OOPS YOU DIED
[CONGRATS YOU DIED. Sucks for you!! But Abe and Lucy are DETERMINED to get paperwork done and to do that, they need to get to know YOU.

So as soon as you appear, no matter if you're going to heaven or hell, you get slapped with a "HELLO MY NAME IS ____" sticker by one of the sheep. Said sticker has two possible effects:
-The sticker may say your "True" name or a nickname you don't like, or an alias, etc. How did it get there?? Paperwork. There is a chance it's blank and you can write your own name too.
-Whenever they see a person, they will be compelled to shout "HELLO MY NAME IS [their name] AND I LIKE [something they like.]"

We speed therapying this shit. ]


B: SUMMER HELL
[Whether you're a demon or an angel, eventually you may want to visit the HellRaiser hotel below! Hell is where all the HIP HAPPENING THINGS are after all. Want a lava bath? Go to a club? Gamble?? Just get fucking drunk? Hell's your place.

However, despite being the afterlife, even hell is not immune from the heat of summer. And it's taking the whole flames of hell thing literally. So!

-You might be minding your own business, and suddenly part of your body or clothing just, fucking ignites on fire. Good luck with that!
-You may get badgered by demonic vendors, trying to push various summer t-shirts on you.
-You might get roped into some demons fucking EMBRACING THE HEAT. Ever been tied to a giant fire spit oven an open flame?? YOU HAVE NOW. Maybe someone will help you, or you can handle yourself just fine.

Or you might get lucky and none of that happens and you're just vibing. Good on you!!]


C: Heaven is Central Air Conditioning
[Heaven-side, the heavenly hotel is its normal, luxurious self except for one key different. . .A/C. That's right, only the hotels in Heaven have working air conditioning. Fucked up!! So chilling up here might be the right call. You can always go visit the beach too, or any of the delightful coffee shops. Heaven also is the only place to get caffeine. Wack.

Of course, even heaven is prone to wackiness. Newbies may be prone to:
-Like hell, there are plenty of vendors up here, but instead of cash, today they ask for payment in...jokes? Better give your best one.
-Cherubs may be especially pushy and try to get you dressed in extremely stuffy/heavenly clothing. Enjoy your corsets and such.
-At the beach, if you sun bathe too long without protection, oops! You may find your skin (fur, scales, whatever) turning not red, but another ridiculous color.

OR AGAIN, JUST DO WHATEVER. WHOMST CAN STOP YOU?? You have a phone just text strangers do what you want.]



OOC NOTES:

"What?" Diego pretends to be offended. "Cut that crap out, I always look amazing."

He shrugs and eyes Klaus' state of dress pointedly.

"You don't look much better."

He holds the offended look for one more moment before breaking it and hugging him with a laugh.

[busball]

"Sure sure. And bears don't shit it the woods." This is just playful jest because they've missed Diego and really all their siblings for so long by now. There's been nothing.

"It's hot fire chic. Cause I'm hot like fire." There's a cheeky grin about that one.

The hug gives him pause before he holds on tightly like someone that's not seen the person they're hugging in a long time. A long almost two years. Somewhere close to a year of sobriety. All of it has been something. And they're married now. The ring on their finger is the only thing that would show it.

"It's been fucking ages. What the fuck have you been up to?"

[always_hits]

"Being dead. All incorporeal and shit. Not sure how I ended up here, you'd think this kinda shit would have happened right away, not after months have passed."

Diego pulls back and studies him, clueing into the ring almost immediately.

"What the hell is that?"

[busball]

"I don't remember you dying." That's gotta be weird. Klaus knows he's died a lot and Luther died. But the others were still alive last time he remembered.

Klaus looks at Diego and looks at where he's looking. "Oh this? Ha. Right. I forgot you haven't been here forever."

If that doesn't tell you something, well, Klaus doesn't know what to do for you. There is a sort of light emanating from him, a soft glow that's a little brighter at the moment. "Well...I got married. I've been away from home for like...a year. On this murder ship. Lots of murder. Surprisingly I only died like once. Weird, right?" A beat. "Well, I guess maybe this is another time? But what's one more in the grand scheme of things?"

[always_hits]

"I guess it wasn't exactly dying. What is it the atupidass kids say nowadays? Unalived? I did that, literally. We all did."

He's a little confused by Klaus having a different story, but he figures this is a timeline thing.

"Well, shit. Congrats."

[busball]

"Did we? Huh. That's news to me." Klaus doesn't remember any of this. What the hell happened since he went chasing after Luther?

"Thanks! He's around here somewhere, I'm sure. Just a matter of finding him. But I bet I could scream free candy and he'd show up. He'd get kidnapped by weirdos in a white van in an instant."

[always_hits]

"I kind of welcomed it after what Lila did. Though I guess you wouldn't know about that, if you don't know the other thing."

He still can't decide if he's more pissed or grossed out about that.

"Definitely sounds like your type."

[busball]

"Buddy, I have no idea what you're talking about..." But now he wants to know. Is it bad manners to ask what he means? They have no idea.

Klaus brightens again, the glow around him brightening as well. "Yeah. He's definitely my type. But we won't get into all of that." He means the sexual shit. But that doesn't make sense considering everything else. "It's been nice, though." They laugh. "He got the number four tattooed on his arm. He's pretty obsessed with ghost numbers. Which is what 4 is. Apparently. Which makes sense, right?"

[always_hits]

"I could explain, I guess. Imagine the worst person she could cheat on me with."

Diego blinks. "The fuck's a ghost number? They die, too?"

[busball]

"Luther?" Considering how often they fought. That seems the most likely. Unless it was someone else.

"Four. In Japan. It's a ghost number. Apparently. And yes. On the ship. Not real life. He's a king from Japan. So I'm royalty now." This is mostly a joke, but also true. "Also he's obsessed with demons, so don't be surprised about that."

[always_hits]

"Wrong. Five."

He pauses at the idea of Klaus as royalty. "Wait, so you help decide laws and stuff?"

[busball]

"Five?" There is clear and obvious confusion on their face. Isn't he like five? "I missed a lot."

There's a laugh. "No. Cause we're not in a place where we're actually in charge of anything. Especially not here. Or on the ship."

[always_hits]

"He's like physically twenty now and apparently makes bad decisions about it."

He shrugs. "Okay, but if you were?"

[busball]

"Ohhh." They don't seem any less confused. In fact, it's confused and bewildered now. "How...uh...did that happen? Like...they just like...boned?" That's a very great way of putting it.

"No one would trust me to make laws, Diego." Okay, Nobunaga might. They hum thoughtfully for a moment. "Well, I guess? Nobunaga might trust me. Only I don't really understand that much about laws. So maybe I'd leave it to him. I can throw a party or something. Try to save money or something."
