[ 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]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

The Doctor doesn't think that Nobunaga wants anyone to be nice to him either because someone might not believe that.

"You certainly have opinions." The Doctor remarks. Then just gives a head nod at the paranoia.

"Just wondering. That's all." The Doctor replies casually with combing a hand though his hair.

"You don't want to be in either place do you?" Which The Doctor feels the same about wanting an inbetween place.

100%. Niceness to the Demon King is painful. Violence he can handle. See again: imps, Hell, Demon King, etc.

Nobunaga freezes up a little at the last question. "Hahh???" He likes Hell........ right?

No.

He always wants to leave. To travel. But...

A small shudder. "I'll get where I want without Heaven's help." The stars. That's what he wants. Travel. "I'm the Demon King of 6th Heaven. It's not a matter of not wanting to be in Hell. This Hell... is mild. Baby-Hell. Vacation Hell. Fake. I'm never going back to the other." And he'll dig in his heels and all the stubbornness that goes with his insult title will get revealed if anyone tries! "I can't leave until I fix it." He's weary. Reluctant, but it is what it is.

"Allow me the chance to help you then." The Doctor offers his hand towards him. "And where is it you want?"

"Everywhere. The stars. But I mean it. I left the last place early. I thought I could cheat, and this is -- I have to do it the slow way this time, or I can't know the right steps to fix things. And I might break something I really can't afford to."

Build it up stable. If it's a LITTLE early like Japan, he can just set it in motion enough to go, leave it to Hideyoshi and Ieyasu and GO. But on the ship he didn't do that, he was going to leave an escape route the others could follow, and didn't, took a chance, did a test, and broke the Geten and who knows what else.

"I'd take you with me if I could find my shed." A short pause, "Cheat what?"

A quiet hum. "I'll keep looking, but until then, you might need to figure something out." Far be it from Nobunaga to judge why a shed helps, maybe it's a super compressed reverse wormhole battery? Honestly he should have thought of doing something similar, but BEING the wormhole creator was a little easier not to lose himself.

"Physics. Reality. Timeline. Rules." SIGH. He isn't really sure how much is even safe to explain. Especially with observer effect. Sure, he told Greed a lot, but there's a difference, he could pick up on Greed's motivations and core easy peasy. What the Doctor wants is a little more out of Oda's line of vision. "Maybe my own rules," he closes his eyes and nods, "Yeah, my own rules." Because that was what kept him in Japan for decades, after all. That was why he'd exiled family members. Why he was trying not to do the riskiest thing ever especially when he was warned endlessly not to. "I can break the rules," of time, space, physics, and reality, "And I'll do so again, but I knew the consequences could be a lot steeper than this. There's always things I'm not willing to lose," the country, the future, Klaus, friends, "Doing this the hard way is the only thing I can do this time if I want to get free again."

A head tilt. "How far have you traveled?"

"I forgot to mention, I'm brilliant." The Doctor remarks cockily, "That's not a problem, I'll figure those out."

A big old grin, "All over the universe." The Doctor gives Nobunaga how Nobunaga can break the rules. "How do you break the rules are you a god or something?"

"And then some."

Nobunaga smirks evilly, "In my experience, geniuses rarely admit that to anyone else." Especially not to sapiosexual world domination (it's traveling, but to him --) psychopaths like Nobunaga. Then again, that doesn't stop him from deeming someone else brilliant.

"Nah. Being a god would be the worst. They never get to break rules! Or have fun. It's so much worse than being an emperor or prime minister! You have to listen to everyone's complaints and take responsibility and get assaulted by random demon kings with grudges against your followers, I would never do that." BE the random demon king punching god(s) though? Yes. Always. Instantly.

"I can't tell you, or it might break the universe. Again." Blandly. He's not joking. Observer effect is a bitch to deal with. "But a true genius doesn't need me to spell it out for them, they can determine it from my actions, not my words, wouldn't you say?" ALL THE SMIRKS!

But he drops the smirk for genuine curiosity. He wants it to be true. He wants it desperately. And that's what makes it dangerous. He HAS to try to go slower. HAS TO. He's ACTUALLY LEARNED THIS LESSON THIS TIME. He broke the reincarnation cycle, how much worse can it get? The fact that it can get worse actually does scare him enough not to try.

"Tell me about the worlds out there... please." Even if it's all lies, he'll take it.

The Doctor listens to the other ramble, and so far there aren't any actions to make a determination either way.

"That's true. Yeah much rather the universe didn't implode." There's a short pause because The Doctor isn't sure how to start, "They're all sorta the same, same base materials, and mixes in chemistry but the beings are rather diverse. Thars humanoids that look like cactus's or lizard people. And The Ood thar are weird bunch sorta like an octopus, that, expect they have legs and arms and hold thar brains in thar hands."

While The Doctor talks his brown eyes seems to become as vast and deep as the universe itself and non human.

"But you know flying space crafts for the most part on all worlds. They all have family of sorts."
