TDM 004: BACK TO SCHOOL

[heckinmods]

[ 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]

[At least Kalim is a pretty light dude... Not that it matters much when he's coming down from a 10 foot vertical bunny leap.

FOOMF!]

Hnngh-!! Ow! Did someone leave a rake in here or-- [He glances down at the painful obstruction in the leaves and comes to find a familiar shade of blue mingled among the warmth of the foliage.]

Well, that's no rake! [Digging the leaves out from around his upperclassman, laughing with his whole chest.] That's Idia Shroud! [Beam beam, wiggle wiggle. Sorry, Idia, you have your favorite sunshine boy sitting proudly upon your belly.]

You're the last person I'd expect to find at the bottom of a pile of leaves! [People accuse this housewarden of desperately needing to touch grass all the time, don't they?] What a happy accident!

[gl00my]

Hrk--

[Roblox_Death_Oof.wav

Idia stares down the length of his nose at Kalim, his dog ear twitching.]

Ah! [Looking all flustered now that he registers just who this blindingly bright presence is sitting on top of him.] K-Kalim? Is that... uuuh.... uumm.....

[Oh my god this is such an epic fail... Seriously, what is a cheery god-tier "waited on hand-and-foot" type like him doing here? Either Jamil failed at his job or succeeded in his life's mission, who can say?

He's just laying there, a gravelly "uuuuh" about the only sound he can produce.]

[broasis]

[He knew it was gonna be a relief to see a familiar face after supposedly "dying" or whatever, but he wasn't expecting that familiar face to be so freaking cute??? He's so distracted by how adorable Idia looks like this that he completely forgets that seeing him here at all would also imply that Idia has also died... Which would be really sad! Really cushions the tragedy of it all when death turns you into a cute animal, huh.]

Uwwaah! You're so cute! [And he's going straight for the ears... sorry. But at least it probably feels good?] You make such a good puppy!

[gl00my]

[Idia would be jerking away from this but he's always been rendered silent by someone as popular and outgoing as Kalim. So he's just fumbling over himself for a minute, hands curled into (cutesy) fists in front of his chest. It's his only means of self-defense against this social onslaught. Can't really save him from how the way that praise vibrates under his skin. It has the effect of hearing your favorite song blasted at too high of a volume. Sure it's nice in theory but it feels terrible and also you'd rather go home, right?

Well. It doesn't stop his matching tail from wagging.]

Th-that's.... [Snaps back to his senses, jerking his head back. Those cute little ears twitch.] S-seriously that's way too much!

[broasis]

Ah! Right. Sorry, sorry!

[He looks sorry for about 0.6 seconds before holding his hands up with a laugh and that persistent grin of his returning with a vengeance. He does not appear to be getting off of him any time soon, though. Those long silly ears of his swivel and flicker, the golden charms hanging from his halo jingling with the tilt of his head.]

It's like how you get when you see Grim, yanno? You just can't help yourself!

[gl00my]

[Gathering up what's left of his dignity.]

Th-that's not the same at all! I'm not some cutesy mascot character...

[NEITHER IS GRIMM!!]

[broasis]

Well, what's stopping you? With a face that cute you could totally be the mascot for Ignihyde~!

[Come on, how can you argue with that face?]

[gl00my]

[That face that's blooming into red? That face that's somewhere between flattered and flinching?]

Wh-wh-where the hell did that come from? Y-you can't seriously mean that, what are you talking about?

[Continues to become a series of starts and stops and nervous laughter.]

[broasis]

Mm... I mean for one, it's just true. You make a cute beastman~! That aside, I dunno! It just made me feel real warm to see you, just now. [Is that... Is that not strange to you, Kalim? No? Okay.]

[Is he just... making himself comfortable on top of Idia now? Yep, he's crossing his arms over Idia's chest and resting his chin atop them, stretching his long bunny legs out behind him and tangling with the other boy's. They are laying in this pile together.]

Hehe, but why are you so surprised? Have I seriously never complimented you before?

[gl00my]

C-....cute? Warm??

[Is he hyperventilating? It looks like it, sounds like it, the way his chest is heaving. Is the garden spinning? Is this another divine punishment event?]

I think it's p obvious! You're Kalim Al-Asim and I'm me?
