[ 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]

Yeah! I plan to ask him who the heck he thinks he is!

[She might be walking quickly, but she's much smaller than he is. At least it won't be impossible to keep up...]

[As heavy as Law's sigh is, it's still lost in the din of the club.]

That's about what I should have expected. Fine, let's see where this goes.

[At least he can be backup in case things go south and she doesn't have any combat skill.]

Does negotiation usually work for you?

Um... that depends. Usually negotiating goes pretty okay if we have the right evidence.

[who is 'we'. Also—]

Well... I did have trouble getting Espella's guards to let me see her...

But there's nothing a little hard work and determination can't solve!

Evidence? We're in Hell. Nobody's gonna care whether you can actually prove they guy stole from you.

[Law clicks his tongue. Why is he even bothering?]

These situations call for either negotiation or intimidation. Do you have leverage or power?

[Maya lets out a raspberry noise as she passes a sigh through her lips.]

Not... really.

I mean, not that anyone's gonna be afraid of around here...

Of course... [He pinches the bridge of his nose.]

Look, just this once, I'll be your muscle. But you're gonna owe me, got it?

[What can this kid possibly do for him? Who knows, it's the principle of the thing.]

Whoa— so you normally play the muscle, huh?

[Don't mind her very blatantly taking the time to observe what of Law's body she can see past that hooded coat— it must be hiding the BEEF.]

I'll do whatever I can to make it up to you! I just really need that thing back!

No, I'm usually the brains and the precision weapon, but I do what needs to be done.

[Nod a great deal of beef, but he's at least pretty well toned!.]

Fine. We can work out the details later... You talk to the guy, I'll back you up.

Precision weapon...

[There's a spark of starlight in Maya's eyes for a second— really Law, if you want her to ever leave you alone don't mention the whole swordsman thing— but she's easily distracted by their plan.]

Right! Okay! All it's gonna take is a stern attitude!

[...Having someone bigger than her (and like... less pathetic-seeming than Phoenix, strong shoulders aside) is definitely reassuring. She spins back around and pulls up her sleeve, squares her shoulders, and puffs out her chest.]

Here we go!

[She starts stomping off to approach this guy. Last chance to back out, Law—]

I'm not sure if "stern" is gonna cut it, but sure.

[Law, against his better judgement, follows along. Boredom is a powerful force!]

[He is, at least, armed with his usual pissy scowl, which is enough to get the more timid club-goers moving out of the way.]

[Maya squares her shoulders even further, striding right up to the lion-demon that's busily chattering with other demons, and prods him right in the shoulder.]

Hey, YOU.

[She's really going for it, for some reason. Is she stupid? She's probably stupid.]

You had your fun, but you better give me that magatama back, now!

[There is silence as the lion demon and his friends stare at her..... and then laughter. She really isn't threatening...]
