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]

There's a moment when Klaus squints at the response before just letting it go. The hand holding makes them smile a bit. They know just how big of a deal it is. In public, too.

"I'm confused why I would assume Lucifer the person, but I got you. Also popsicles aren't poisoned. Usually. They just are cold and sugary." Unless there was something weird with them that made people feel something abnormal or something. "I'd say maybe he said that to keep you from eating more sugar, but that would be Hideyoshi more than Mitsuhide..."

There's a soft, "Hey!" As their drink is sipped from. "Rude."

"Oh, because Greed, and I'm trying not to have an army for those two," a groan, "And I don't want anyone else confusing me for Lucifer. It's hard because -- well, I don't have to explain it to you," Nobuanga smiles to their spouse. It was hard because Nobunaga wants to the fun parts of his evil reputation, and he's not used to EVER sharing... anything. Territory, power, dreams, ambition, it's all either his way, or don't expect to survive the chaos and Hell.

And laughs. "Yeah that's the monkey, not the fox usually. Sometimes Akechi tries to be like the mother hen, but he can't keep it up long term." A cheeky smirk about the drink, and Nobunaga slides his own to Klaus' side. "Love you."

"Because you always call yourself the demon king?" Klaus snorts softly. "But if you were talking about Pride as a person, I would assume you meant the sin. Since you said Greed was a person, so that's one of the sins. But now I gotta wonder if the Virtues are also people." Not that Klaus remembers what the virtues are exactly. Society likes to talk about sins instead. Weirdly.

Klaus rolls their eyes before taking sip of Nobunaga's drink to make up for it. "Hush. You still left me to fight alone! So rude!"

"Well, there's Lust." Nobunaga shrugs. "I only know the demon side." So virtues are a mystery to him. "Is Michael one of them? Because Lust has like... 3 names. They prefer gender neutral like Ozzie, like you."

Nobunaga can't help but grin impishly. "But I wanted to see you do your best. And I knew you could handle it. I didn't leave you at all. I stayed nearby to intervene if you got overwhelmed. I thought if I just rushed in and tossed you my cloak you might get mad at me for underestimating you when I know better?" Nobunaga kisses their cheek! "You were very cool and sexy and I didn't want to steal your fun." He should learn to say sorry. "I am sorry about your burger though." A nod to the others. "This make up for it?"

"So Lust is here, too? Huh." But Klaus is gonna keep that in mind. Ozzie and Lust prefer gender neutral. He doesn't mind male-gendered, but he also likes the gender neutral more.

They pout slightly. "But we could have been fighting together in a cool and sexy way that meant I didn't lose my burger." Said as he messily eats his new burger. Mostly in that he has stuff all over his hands...and maybe on his shirt. "I guess it does."

Ozzie is Lust. And same for him. Not Lust like Greed's sibling. That's Envy. See where this gets wild already?

Nobunaga gently kisses Klaus' cheek, and then licks some sauce off. "I promise you, there will almost definitely be more chances for that. And if I knew you wanted it, I would have taken the chance right away, but you've always fought separate from me, so that's what I thought you preferred, I'm sorry. I want to sexy fight back to back with you. Next time, okay?"

Klaus stills as his cheek is licked. This is something that most people would feel weird about in public, but not Nobunaga. It was hand holding and dancing that would be embarrassing for their husband.

"But like that's cause we get separated when we're fighting...which isn't fair." Cause like they could be like Rick and Evie in The Mummy. Not that he knows who would be who in that pair. Klaus is not smart enough to be a librarian. He also doesn't like books that much. But he's not...exactly Rick either.

It doesn't matter.

"Promise?"

"It isn't." But Nobunaga also greatly worried about treating his spouse like a weapon that way, the deepest promise he made them pre- marriage vows. If Klaus wants this however, then so does Nobunaga!

Klaus is definitely smart enough to be a librarian and archeologist! And would very sexily fight with two knives in a filmy lingerie. He should make sure Nobunaga gets to see the movie.

"Hai. I promise." And Nobunaga offers Klaus a pinkie finger to promise with! "Entwine our red threads of fate." To explain the gesture, but as dramatically as fucking possible.

Choosing to be their own weapon was one of the things that Klaus took on well enough. They didn't like being used as a weapon by someone else, but if they were their own weapon, that was fine. They could be their own weapon while fighting with someone. Especially since Nobunaga is someone that they trust.

"Good." They take their husband's pinkie finger with their own. "They're already entwined, you weirdo." But he laughs all the same. Klaus really doesn't know what he'd do without Nobunaga most days. Logical brain knows he could figure it out, but emotional brain isn't so sure.

Fortunately, that is exactly what Nobunaga took it to mean. That Klaus trusts him, and wants to direct himself for as much chaos as willed, not that Klaus wants to be a pacifist, nor necessarily prove he can fight alone, which he already knows, but doesn't want to.

"Good. Then let's entangle them further so no one can separate them, like having sex." Nobunaga gives Klaus a hard tug, and an even harder kiss. Ah yes, Klaus' stupid Demon King husband who thinks holding hands is more intimate than sex.

Unfortunately he knows exactly what he would do without Klaus, and he hates it. Klaus makes everything better. Like candy.

Klaus laughs, shaking his head slightly before they kiss. It's not surprising when your husband has a weird understanding of intimacy. Or at least a different one. Tayrey's understanding is also different, but they are getting used to the idea. "Well, I think we should probably take that to our rooms. Or like...at least not in a public place where we could get attacked by zombies."

Cause nothing's worse than being mid sex and having to run, most likely naked, through Hell because a zombie tried to bite someone's ass. It's probably safer to be somewhere less open.

"Right, yes," a quiet hum. "Michael and the others keep begging me to learn a sense of privacy." This too, is a struggle since obviously he never had it as Fool of Owari or Demon King ruler of Japan.

"We could probably kill zombies at the same time as sex, couldnt we?" See this is what they meant. Alas.

"I'm surprised how well bullets work on them. It seems like the kind of thing that wouldn't." How he can hold both trains of thought simultaneously is better left unanswered.

Klaus snorts softly. "Yes. Well, you know things are different here. On the ship, it was a matter of finding the easiest way around it. I haven't figured out this place yet." So it's harder to know where they can go without it being a problem. "But that does seem like a thing people ask."

There's a blank stare at the question. "No. I'm pretty sure it's an either or situation, babe."

And Klaus isn't trying to fuck while shooting at zombies anyway. "It's a zombie thing. To the head and they're out."

"Yes. I understand." He did say that. "Though as you know, it's extra difficult with my being used to all of Hell and the world being mine. But I will adapt. You can always ask Ozzie. He's very careful about wanting everyone to have enthusiastic consent. They're the ruler of Lust after all."

A small pout about the zombies. "Well, it's just as well. Even I can't focus on much else when I'm with you." Even just watching them as earlier!

"Is this an American thing?" Zombies being taken out by single bullet doesn't seem like a Japanese understanding of undead, basically. "Knowing that now, I care less about fighting them. I thought it would be like mobile regenerating gelatin training dummies. That splatter dramatically." Everything is always more exciting in his head.

"Yeaah. And now you have to deal with it being not yours, huh?" Not that Klaus believes Nobunaga fully believes it isn't. Not even a little bit. "Yeah...sounds weird for a sin to care about those things, but I guess that's a good thing."

Klaus shrugs at the question. "I dunno. I guess? I don't know who came up with zombies...but someone sure did." And he doesn't know all that much about the hows and whys. Just that the movies show it one way. Usually.
