TDM 004: BACK TO SCHOOL

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

A: Garden Level - Fall IN!
[The garden is full of fruits and overflowing with milk and honey as usual, truly a paradise. But gasp, what's this? A PALLET CHANGE? Instead of the typical lush green, it's taken on more Autumn colors for Aesthetic^TM. It's still pleasantly warm as usual though, for current denizens and newbies alike, and it's gosh darn nice to hang out in.

But speaking of newbies and passerbys! If you pop in, you'll find yourself landing in a pile of colorful leaves. But these ain't no normal leaves!! Depending on the color, you may experience the following:

Yellow- Get energized nerd!! Despite just dying, you're suddenly filled to the brim with joy, and far more amicable to the first people you see.
Orange- Ever heard of love at first sight?? IT'S HAPPENING NOW. You may become absolutely smitten with the first few folks that help you out of your pile.
Red- Or the complete opposite! You're filled with the POWER OF AGGRO and ready to argue or fight with whoever you see first!

Or maybe you fall in a pile of mixed leaves that give you a combo of effects, or nullify the effect so nothing happens! Up to you. ]

B, Hell Level: Spooky Scary Skeletons
[Down at the HellRaiser hotel, it's already practically halloween 24/7, but now even more so! The standard hellish hotel amenities are available--massages, hot saunas, all the booze and drugs you could ever want, room service, etc!

But the perpetual night life is where it's at. In celebration of the most unholy season of the year (citation needed), the clubs are HOPPING and playing music loud enough it could raise the (un)dead. . .literally! You could be walking on your way back from getting a burger, and skeleton or zombie bursts from the ground! They might attack you or. . .try to get you to dance with them. Weird. Either way, don't linger too long, or they'll try to get you to go back further into the depths with them. . .

Alternatively maybe you're just accosted by some normal party demons/imps and dragged into a club. Have fun!]

C, Heaven Level: The Holy Spirit Halloween
[Heaven-side, the heavenly hotel is its normal, pampering self, complete with every luxurious amenity you could imagine. However, it seems some parts of the hotel are decorated with more. . .demonic accents??

It's not just the hotel either. Outside, spot angels in all sorts of costumes, ranging from black cats to silly godzilla rubber suits. That's right, TIS THE SEASON, and it's the only time angels get to indulge in more silly ~sinful~ desires! Is this cultural appropriation?? Don't worry about it.

As for you, if you're not chillin' at a cat cafe or the gorgeous beach or a coffee shop, you may find a cherub stuffing you into a silly costume. When in Rome!! You may also come across huge golden depots full of costumes, so feel free to shop around! The cherubs within will also see to your every need, as if they're extensions of the hotel as well]

[While that might happen, Stolas sincerely doubts it. Who would be that dumb? But, until he gets a look at that paperwork, he's sort of stuck.]

Actually, I think I'm only a few doors down from you. So, as long as I'm not imposing, I don't see why not.

Well how 'bout that! And nah - we're good.

[Stolas is still on the stuffy side, but the guy bailed him out of a hard place. So how can he be rude? Or annoyed?]

We got drinks if you want 'em. Or I do. Hah! [He was still carrying the entire espresso pot, after all.]

[Eventually he might loosen up..once he gets used to hanging around Oz long enough. Maybe.]

I can see that.

[He does smile a little at least.]

Besides, I think I could use a drink. It might make settling in a little easier.

All righty, c'mon then. And don't mind the dog, he's Fizz's lil' guy.

[... the dog is a big hellbeast with too many eyeballs for a dog. Its name is Lincoln Bio.]

[But Oz just sweeps the door open, to a set of rooms that look like Valentines Day and blacklight bowling night hooked up and their resulting offspring puked all over a sex shop. There's a couch shaped like a pair of lips, that's normal enough.]

Have a seat~

[He won't comment on the large hellbeast. Everyone's entitled to their pets...

As for the room décor, Stolas has to blink his eyes a few times to get used to the sight before stepping in and then taking a seat on the lips shaped couch. He looks a little awkward.]

It's very...eyes catching in here. Do we get to decorate our rooms or did it come this way?

Weeell...

[Either ignoring Stolas' awkwardness or not noticing, he has ventured to a little kitchen nook. Making up a couple coffees.]

Most of it was already here. Like they were expecting me, y'know? But of course, I had to add my own little touches~...

You want yours spiked, birdy babe?

[There's almost a look of relief on his features when he's offered alcohol. With everything going on, he sort of needs a drink.]

Yes please. I'm definitely not opposed to having my coffee spiked right now.

[Though, he IS now wondering just what he can do to his own room to make it more suitable for himself. Perhaps adding bookshelves might help..]

Got it.

[And the coffee is poured, and doctored. We're very sorry, Stolas, but there's also, inevitably, a bowl of those Lust Candies produced. The ones shaped like dicks. And open mouths.]

[He'll take a seat on a much more ... salaciously shaped couch, after having delivered the coffee.]

Never did thank you for the whole ransom fiasco. Figured I'd make up for it now.

[He takes the doctored coffee when it's offered and resists the urge to sigh when he sees the candies. He could have done without those but, he also should have expected them too.

Stolas is also going to pointedly ignore the salaciously shaped couch in favor of sipping his coffee and enjoying the taste.]

Sending me the crystal was thanks enough.

[Sip. Sip.]

But, I will admit that I did enjoy reading through that contract and it's a good thing I did. There was some pretty nasty stuff hiding in the fine print. If you ever need me to read through any other paperwork, I'd be more than willing to help.

Oh? I did that?

[HUH. He'd come from literally the moment after the big Mammon Pageant Explosion. No time for much else.]

Ah, well - you got Fizz to thank for that. He's the one who said it was good to go, patched shit up with your imp bae. [A beat.] He's here, by the way. Dunno if you ran into him yet.

[SIP. We are not airing out the dirty laundry yet.] So I gathered... I might have to slip you a couple favors here and there, if anybody else in Greed gets ideas.

[Ugh.]

[He's a little surprised he didn't remember that? Then again, Stolas just got the crystal and still hasn't texted Blitzo yet soo..]

If he's around, I would be delighted to thank him somehow. I'm also glad they settled whatever was between them. Though I'm still not exactly sure why they hated each other to begin with.

[He remembers they were friends when they were children but, after that? Stolas really has no idea. Though, Blitzo being referred to as his 'imp bae' does make him blush a little and take a long sip of his coffee...

...Only to choke on it a second later when he hears Blitzo is there. Stolas takes a moment to cough and stop choking on coffee before shaking his head.]

No, not yet. I just arrived today so I haven't been able to see who is even here. You're the first person I've run into from our world so far.

He is, yeah. Been doin' some work at another club for the time being. Get this - it's run by a Greed. But not Mammon. An actual decent guy!

[This is still so novel to Oz. Like, all these millions of years living with Mammon, now there's an embodiment of Greed who isn't a pile of shit? Half the time he doesn't know what to do with himself.]

Well, don't think he'll come find you if you're in my vicinity. We had a li'l falling our of our own... It's all good, I'm not gunning for his ass anymore. But I made it damn clear he needs to be givin' me some space.

Still - I figured you'd wanna know.

[While he's relieved this Greed isn't Mammon, that does make him pretty curious about them. Because yes, this IS a very novel concept and one Stolas may just have to see for himself.]

Really? I may need to meet this Greed and see this for myself.

[As for Oz and Blitzo having a falling out, part of him isn't surprised. But it does make him pretty curious.]

I appreciate the heads up. But, I must ask, what did he do to put you both at odds? I know he's a bit abrasive...

I'm sure you will. He's damned popular around here - hell, we're even gonna build Ozzie's 2.0 across from his place.

[It's so weird. He's not used to it, he's not sure he'll be used to it in a while. But... it's also not bad? It's kind of good.]

Mm. He fucked up with some business between him and Fizz - not on purpose, accidentally. It's more their deal to tell than mine. But - [He gestures at Stolas with the mug.] Pretty sure you know how I feel when someone hurts Fizz.

Then he really must be popular if you think he can be direct competition.

[Stolas will definitely have to look into this.]

That.. definitely sounds like something Blitz would do. I suppose I will have to ask one of them about it then.

[He pauses and sips his drink after giving a little nod. He's well aware of how Ozzy gets when it comes to Fizz. He still doesn't feel bad about that lawyer shark getting his just deserts after the attempted kidnapping.]

I'm not exactly thrilled when someone tries to hurt Blitzy either. But, I also know he can take care of himself so I usually don't have to step in.

Mmm, more like... joint venture. Sin Street, y'feel?

[Granted there is only two of them here, but that's beside the point.]

Well. If you can get more out of him than just - [He holds up a hand to mimic a mouth talking:] I fucked up waaaah I fucked up Ozziiiiiieeee, then power to you.

[... He did say he'd be nicer to Blitzo than this, but he's no shining beacon of purity here.]

Physically, he's fine, so no worries there.

[He raises an eyebrow at that and can't help but want to get the entire story even more.]

Well, it never hurts to try. Once I'm settled in, of course.

[As long as Blitzo isn't in any immediate danger, Stolas will take what he can get?]

The physical part never worries me. It's everything else that can be rather questionable.
