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

A, Garden Level - Autumn Celebrations!
[It may be November in the real world but when you're dead time is fake! So this week/month GARDENFEST is happening...........aka a bootleg mishmash of Oktoberfest and an Xmas Market. In general: PARTY TIME.

Drinks! Foods! Bad singing!! Drunkenly built gingerbread houses! You're thrown in a festive identity clash of imps and cherubs in the garden playing music that doesn't match or shoving drinks at you. Don't worry, if you don't want a mug of beer, it might just be gingerale! Anyway sorry you died but PARTY PARTY JOIN US JOIN US--]

B, Hell Level: ICE to meet you!
[Down at the HellRaiser hotel, the hellish amenities await your every need, but spooky season is over. Aside from the usual, er, allure of Hell, it also seems to be slowly freezing over. Ruh roh. It's not much now, but occasionally you may be hit by a teeny tiny icicle as you explore, awww. Other times it's a whole fucking STALACTITE crashes down on you. Better dodge or hope someone pushes you out the way!! Look out for slick sidewalks too!

Otherwise, hey have some fun in Hell!! Go to a club, get some drugs, go to a casino, win and get mugged!! Ever have a drink made out of literal MAGMA? Go on, try it!! Slaps hell's cobbled brimstone you can fit so much chaos down here!]

C, Heaven Level: Spice, spice, baby.
[Heaven-side, the cherubs are ready to welcome you and give you the VIP treatment!! Massages! Manipedis! Lavish outfits and attention! You can raise your hand and just get a fucking cat sat on your lap! Truly, this is bliss!!

Oh, but it's also cozy season in Heaven! So along with the best fits for the chillier weather, There are an assortment of beverages being offered by angels for you to sample (CW Mind Manipulation):

Apple Spiced Latte- Tasty and earthy! But you suddenly feel more subservient.
Cranberry Spiced Latte- A bit tart but it works. This might make you sassier than usual.
Stuffing Spiced Latte- There is no effect. Why would you drink this you monster.

For the TDM you can find small cherub-run kiosks with these drinks on any level you prefer! If that's not your cuppa joe, feel free to explore the beauty of Heaven per usual! The beach! Boardwalk! All the cafes!! Whatever heaven should have, you can likely find it.]

[... She should not feel some kind of way about him suddenly deflating like that, UGH.] You're not permanently here, just until the clerical idiots sort things out. Unlike some of us. [Leave one Hell to go back to your Hell is actually pretty funny in a way.

A... Pokemon? She vaguely recalls some kind of monster game that had weird creatures like that, but it wasn't something she ever paid much attention to. Weeeeird.]

A Pokemon. Dragons in a giant... apple... You know what, I'm not going to question it as I feel all that's going to happen is I'm going to get a headache by the end of it and still not understand. [Better to just drop that, right???]

Because they're generally cold blooded creatures like normal reptiles, right? [Dragons are mythical creatures as far as she's concerned, so at least she can kind of understand the logic behind it.] And it could be, who knows when it comes to this place, but maybe go find yourself a fire that isn't a magma fountain or some more layers until this shit blows over?

[Yuugi tilted his head to the side as he got to his feet.

Who was this guy? He'd never seen him before. Then again, he was dead, and lots of dead people looked like animals and such.

But...

At the sheer disappointment in the guy's voice, Yuugi's stomach dropped and his wings visibly drooped.]

Oh, uh...I'm sorry, Mister. Have we met?

[Still, not even a 'sorry'? How rude!]

O-oh! S-Sorry. I didn't know you were like... dead dead. [Kieran, please, stop.]

That's fair. There's a lot to talk about Pokemon. And Battling. And Pokemon Battling. Hydrapple is just one of hundreds! [Special interest, unlocked!

But yes. It's a reptile, and Kieran nods at that.] I wasn't planning on climbing into the lava. Just next to it... where it's warm...

[Warmmmmm. He wants warm...]

What? Don't apologize for that, I'm quite content in the Hell I was in, actually. Can't age, have the power to basically influence all of a ring's social media and clothing? I don't have any problems with it. [Others might, but she's doing pretty well in her little ~~neon~~ castle...]

Battling. So you're basically doing cock fights but with other kinds of animals that evidently are weirdo versions of actual animals. Got it, sure, that's fine. [Everyone has to have one! But it sure is not hers.]

Aaaare you sure about that? You were climbing up to the top of it pretty quickly. [Normal people might just curl up against or around it, not into it, Kieran!!!!]

O-oh! Okay! That does sound really cool... Wowzers... You sound like you were pretty powerful.

[Kieran pauses before he nods. He supposes that's what it is at the end of the day. Not that he knows what a cock is but he'll definitely ask and totally not get scarred by an imp later :)]

Uh... No. I'm not sure. I don't remember coming here so... [He absentmindedly tugs the loose strand of hair, which makes the attached Hydrapple nip him in response.] W-well! I'll just have to make sure I stay warm and not get into a situation like that again. Ahaha...

Mhmm~ One of a few with the title to match the power. [Not that it matters here as she has to start over, but that's entirely irrelevant. Oh this poor boy is going to learn the hard way and she's honestly not even going to warn him about any of it.

Better to learn by your mistakes anyway, right? Right???? ~~No, Velvette, that's just sadism.~~]

You'd probably be better off staying at the hotel under covers or... something... and lock your door so you can't get out until you consciously want to or the cold fucks off. [WHY ARE YOU NOT REMEMBERING WHAT YOU'RE DOING WHILE STONE COLD SOBER, KID??????]

Mmm... You must miss it. Going from the top back to square one is rough. [He can relate, somewhat. He's... still not over his defeat from being Champion. He's not sure what's going to happen once he gets back from this place but he's an Ex-champion now...]

I guess so. Guess I'm just not used to it. Back at the Blueberry Academy, we usually left our doors unlocked. [Anyone could come in at any time and that was just normal.] Aw man... I better find some like... more blankets and food then before I get too cold again. And maybe something thicker than this outfit.

Pros and cons to it. Sure, I miss the getting whatever I want at the wave of a hand, but I don't miss the dickhead and the pissbaby. Not like I don't know how to regain power anyway since it seems like this place functions on the same principles as mine did. [Claw your way back up would be her thoughts on it, not that she's ever really had to deal with anything that would knock her down enough pegs to be threatened. The bonuses of having business partners, you generally get the protection that comes with it. ~~Especially when one of them is a paranoid weirdo that has cameras everywhere.~~]

Left your doors unlocked? That's some small town shit and hilarious given how Hell is. A thicker outfit, huh... [Give her a moment she's tapping her chin as she thinks through what to even go with here. Probably something simple, really, just to keep him from doing something dumb again.]

Hood or no hood? [No, she will not explain.]

[A young girl watches in confusion as Kieran fights off his own hair - or snake hair? Raphtalia's not really sure at this point. Is it trying to eat him?]

A-are you okay? Is your hair attacking you?

[Does she need to stab it - she briefly glances around but doesn't see a weapon in sight.]

Oh dear, is that sarcasm I detect? How clever of you.

[And Emet's tone is is that which one might take when speaking to a particularly dimwitted child.]

I assure you, I know very well the lengths to which mankind is willing to go for the "greater good." It's something I've made great use of, in fact.

[He has himself a good little smirk about it.]

Oh, are the accommodations so superior? What's so good about it? A doubt it can make up for the awful glare.

[He heaves a heavy sight]

And cursed with a pedestrian audience, as usual.

I wouldn't expect you to understand, but I'm likely the only being in this wretched enclosure that even fits the descriptors "normal" and "person."

[Oh boy, he just had to go that far and she's actually laughing behind her drink. If he wants a go, then she's absolutely down to have a go. In fact she shoves her way past a few people to make sure he can see her in front of that stage, setting her drink to the side to place her hands on her hips. Her amusement is clear in the fang heavy grin and head tilt while looking up.]

Oh, babes, you're wrong on every single count there. Might not have the title here but I was an Overlord where I come from. And if you really wanna play that whole person and normal horseshit, I wasn't born like this you absolute dipshit. But go off and say some more drivel, dickhead~

... Yeah. That's fair. I miss my friends but there are certain people I really don't care for. [Drayton, why are you the way you are?

Kieran almost asks if Velvette is going to claw her way back up while she's here or take it easy but is distracted. He gives a sheepish laugh and twirls the lone Hydrapple head.]

Yeah... My school is isolated and I'm from an even smaller town. There's a lot of big city stuff I'm gonna have to get used to.

[The boy blinks blankly but answers.] Uh... hood?

[The Hydrapple is just trying to stop Kieran from pulling at it. That hurts, you know. When he hears Raphtalia, both Kieran and the other Hydrapple heads all turn to her, all of them sporting the same surprised expression.]

Oh! I-I'm fine! [Kieran looks at the young girl and gives her a reassuring smile.] I kind of grab my head a lot and I guess the Hydrapple don't like it since it's their necks. It doesn't hurt! It was just more surprising.

You think I'm speaking of your form? [He smirks dismissively.]

It's nothing so shallow as that, I assure you. After all, there's no shortage of sad, hollow creatures shaped like people on that mortal coil I so recently shuffled off of.

No, I speak of the quality of the soul. Nothing bad sad, fractured remnants everywhere I look. Why, even those who apparently hail from other worlds entirely appear just as diminished as the wretched creatures I left behind.

They’re good, right? [So says the 3’ tall pink… creature who plops down across from Nep with a gingerbread imp in her mouth and a stack of unassembled house pieces in her hands. Her little felt-like wings flutter on her back contentedly.]

There always seem to be some sort of sweets being offered up around here! I love it!

You gotta specify if you're going to be insulting people in a crowd, especially when most of 'em were entirely different before they got down here. But thanks for the clarity. [She could not have more sarcasm in her voice if she tried, especially through the smile that is purposefully all fang. May as well see if this one will fold easily or actually try and keep up this superiority act.]

"Quality of the soul?" Are you talking about the whole "oh, there's a scar on your soul because of your traumaaaaa~" bullshit or is there something I'm missing? [At... least she seems a bit more interested in the subject than telling him to shut up and fuck off. So that's... progress?]

I think I can see why you're not assigned to Heaven.

[And he can snark right back, thank you very much.]

If the light is too much for you you're going to be disappointed. But the room service in Heaven is quite a bit better, not to mention the treatment from the staff.

Now I just need a video game console and a nice t.v and beanbag chair.

[ She can be as lazy as she wants here, no one bugging her about paperwork. ]

[Blink.]

I’m not gonna lie, I don’t know what any of those things you just said are.

Wait, seriously?

[ Neptune isn't used to people not knowing what video games are, after all everyone from her world plays them. ]

For realzies. Well, I mean, I assume a beanbag chair is a bag of… beans? That you sit on?? But the rest?

[Big shrug!]

It seems like my world is really different than most of yours.

Well, a beanbag is a super comfy chair that is lower to the ground and you can sit on it or lay down.

But, video games... [ How do you explain a video game to someone with no knowlege. ]

It's like a choose your own adventure in some ways!

[This is better than the weird purgatory but not purgatory and dead but not dead space she was in before, especially given all of the inherent shenanigans she'd found herself in. Doing what she could to help here and there, even when things seemed to be... different. But that was the nature of her sacrifice, wasn't it? Protect the one person she had actually cared about and it seemed that the universe had wanted to play a joke that last time around.

Unlike Kaiba's more demonic draconic appearance, hers is more... subtle. The blue-white tinged scales primarily kept to the edges of her body and stopping just at her clavicle. She certainly didn't entirely get out of all of this without much other changes if the sleek tail is any guess and the wings a very interesting sort of thing.

Heaven looks good on her, if nothing else, though she's practiced enough to a point where she's a little more comfortable in her skin if the blue pastel dress is anything to go by.

She'd been mostly observing anyone until she overhears the problem brewing and casually make her way over, head tilting somewhat as she pauses at a bit of a distance away.

...

Fate really is playing with her now.]

Perhaps it's better if you go somewhere a little quieter and collect yourself instead of lashing out at the imps just trying to do their job? [Her voice remains soft, but there's a firmness in it that she's not really going to be taking no for an answer on this one.]

B, Hell Level: ICE to meet you!

[You know what's not great for tech? Cold temperatures. Or hot ones really. You'd think a body that wasn't wholly flesh and blood would be less temperamental, not more. His screen glitches, several patches appearing dead all ready as Vox takes shelter inside- ugh, a casino. But he can warm up in here at least, and work out a more long term solution if this cold is going to stick around.

It's been a long time since Vox felt out this out of the loop. All his contacts and souls meant nothing here, back to square one. He'd thought at least he knew what to expect this time round, but now that he can't even predict the temperature he's not so sure.

His thoughts are interrupted by someone stepping on his shoe, and he his head head to yell after them-]

Watch it! These shoes cost more than you'll make in lifetime.
