[ 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.]

Jean looks confused as well. "But the last time I saw you was as I was falling and then I...was here...struggling to find my place," He remembers the confused feelings as he tried to get Javert to listen and let him go to find the girl.

"Are you saying...we have been locked in this back and forth for years," he adds now the one who is struggling, "and it leads to your death in the end?" Jean steps back shaking his head even more confused than he was during the confrontation.

"This world messes with time from what I was told. You appearantly came from an earlier time point. I don't know if there was a purpose for this or it was just a coincidence.

Why should it matter? You won in the end. You got your quiet life, you got to raise the girl and give her a better life. She got a husband. I've accomplished nothing." Javert replied.

"How can you say that," Jean says, "just because I changed your world view doesn't mean you didn't have purpose. I saw the good you did with others"

He shakes his head. "I can't believe I would have changed things for you that much...."

His voice was heavy with pain. "I was just one man..."

Javert made a face at the mention of him doing good. "I don't know what you're saying."

And now they were dancing around each other again of who was the worst while trying to say the other was better. Typical. They were both good at sulking and being dramatic. It was how they seemed to speak to each other. Never in plain words that normal people would have probably been able to do.

"You're putting yourself on a martyr. I'm beginning to think I thought too highly of you when you were a Mayor."

Jean is about to snap back when Javert's words give him pause. This man respected him...the convict he then chased most of his life and killed himself over. Jean is used to scorn and pity but respect is completely new.

He studies Javert for a long moment trying to figure out why and when the other man's regard has become important to him. And why convincing him he too is a good person is important. He sighs. "Another stalemate between us it seems....."

The comment earned a rare smile that disappeared as it came. "It seems to be the one thing we can agree on."

There was a long pause as Javert struggled what to do or say. "If you want, I can show you the safer area and where most people are residing down here. Unless, you reside in the Heaven? Or you can continue to get lost and trapped in the ice here."

"I find myself unable to decide where my soul should be at home," Jean admits quietly feeling a bit odd about seeing Javert smile "Heaven is...everything I was told it would be and my sister may be there but...."

He trails off. "A tour would not go amiss...at least it would be better than all this ice."

Javert refrained from saying that Jean was the only person from their world he had seen so far. He had given the other way too much information as was and it caused a lot of conflict. He chided himself for haven done so, but in his confused state it was hard enough to make decisions on what was right.

"I never had a choice." Only he knew that the minute he decided to end his life.

"The crowd here isn't always so nice. Be careful of who you interact with and be mindful of your surroundings. Anything sinful can be found here. You also need to be mindful of the contracts that people might try to rope you into."

Jean nodded. "That makes sense," he says "A soul is a soul no matter how you get it." He follows along behind Javert taking in everything around him and trying not to think about the man in front of him. "I am used to a rough crowd, you need not worry about me.

"Until that crowd starts telling your stories and beginning for money..." Javert muttered. "Then you fall right into their hand."

CW: so much creative Scottish swearing

A: Arrival

[So he's died. And gone to Hell. Finally. All of Earth is probably rejoicing. Or at least his many many political enemies and -- Malcolm has no friends, so just enemies, even in his own party, and most of the planet to be fair.]

Oh, the paperwork's bollocked? Yeah, that fucking plays. It always is, isn't it? Paperwork getting fucked up is like water running downstream, and cocks crowing about the dawn, like they fucking woke up the sun and dragged it out themselves. What am I supposed to do now then? Anyone I should bullock?

[But the imps and cherubs scatter, because a big bad wolf in foul-tempered and even more vulgar language who is used to verbally harassing politicians as a house whip is not worth sticking around for.]

B: Ice Ice Baby

Fuck! It's colder than a witch's teat out here! Guess all that global climate change doesn't work when humans aren't top dogs.

Ta. [Takes the magma drink and --] What the fuck do you mean it's for drinking? Mate, you do not want to mess with a man [Despite his kind of more wolf-y form now.] holding magma, now do you? Right. Didn't fucking think so.

[... And then he might try to drink it if someone doesn't stop him. YOLO?]

C: Spice Spice Baby
Fuck, this is fucking disgusting. [A stuffing flavored latte.] It tastes like my Nan's old socks run through the dryer and stuffed up the ass of a mule with parasites in its intestines. And I've had haggis. [... And he drinks some more. :| Yes.]

D: Network post
UN: WindshieldWhipper

[He let an imp pick the name and doesn't care.]

What the fuck do you wankers do for jobs around here? I'm recently unemployed on account of being fucking dead, or whatever the shit you call it here, and the last time I took one of those bloody tests on job aptitude they suggested making a fucking children's novel on a Very Angry Spider. Hopefully not fucking that. And I haven't needed to make a resume for literal decades.

Jean snorts softly. "I was in prison for 19 years," he says, "I know a con when I hear one. But your warning is duly noted....should I keep calling you Javert...it seems....too formal right now."

He gave an idle shrug. "Seeing that I'm not an Inspector here or working for the police. That title no longer means anything."

Despite trying to play indifferent, there was a hint or sorrow that showed in his expression before he could cover it. He was trying hard to work through things, but this was an on going struggle of trying to find out who he was now having lost his old identity.

...."How were you able to rebuild yourself?" he asked quietly after a while of silence.

What?

[The blonde woman looks incredibly confused at his question. She's got no clue what he's talking about nor does she really care to find out. She's just here for the booze and to get out of the Nest for a bit. She's not built for the sudden cold that's started going on down there.]

Never heard of her.

[She's not annoyed, but rather amused.]

Jean thinks about the question. "It wasn't easy," he admits, "after I sold the bishop's silver I wasn't sure what to do with the money...I'd never had that much money in my hands before. I took time to work odd jobs and figure things out. I had my moments of doubt...I still do even today. When I brought my factory I thought I was mad for doing so. It took one day at a time and a lot of patience."

"So you had ideas, but no real game plan on what to do." Javert replied. He was a little disappointed and yet he wasn't surprised either. As they spoke he would on occasion point out places that were safe to go to and where to avoid. He also warned how advance this world was compared to theirs.

Honestly he couldn't blame him. He had no one to advice him or what to do. Let alone someone he could trust then. So Javert got it.

"I've been given some guidance....to try to sort things out. Only the more I delve into things the more I find myself getting lost."

"So Hell is as complicated as life itself was," Jean says with a nod, "that doesn't surprise me much. "A place that gives you time to think on how you lived that life with little else to do would lead to confusion....I spent some time in Heaven first and found it much the same way as down here."

He smiles. "Minus your company of course."

[Malcolm may have been abandoned by the imps and cherubs, but guess who doesn't have that much sense? Ari Tayrey. Colorful Earther language doesn't bother her much, and if there's anything worth a bit of vulgarity, it's being unexpectedly dead.

She steps forward, with shiny spacer uniform and shiny halo.]

It's rough, yes? If you didn't expect it. Unfortunately the beings in charge don't have two quarks of sense between them, but this place isn't bad. Better than being permanently dead and gone.

SPIDER-JOU, SPIDER-JOU

[[OOC - This Jonouchi is from a fanfic where, as one might guess, he gets to be spider-man! A spider-man? Doesn't matter. He's from just after his version of Duelist Kingdom, but the timeline is pretty messy in his reality; also, he's only 15 right now.]]

[Arrival]

NYYHHHHH...!! WHY!!!

[Forget the errors, forget the being dead thing. Jonouchi Katsuya is tackling that later. Right now he's looking himself over in clear panic- incredibly uncaring of the fact that he's got the mask of his spider-suit in his hand. Everything else is covered by his clothes, jeans, hoodie...

But the part he's panicking over is. Well. Everything else.] Did somethin' go wrong after they beat Pegasus..!? This ain't fair man I finally got a real meal and sleep..!!

[What's not fair? BEING A SPIDER ISN'T FAIR! It's not unlike a certain other spider- but unlike That one, Jonouchi is...well, for starters pretty obviously just a young teenager. There's a lot more fluff on all those limbs too, and all of it is black. Or at least that weird dusty black you see within the pearly gates.

He grabs at the fluff making up his hair with far more than two hands.] Nhhhhhhh...c'mon, this can't be happening...a Spider..!?

[Oh, one other thing might stand out with the kid having a crisis though.

He's got a halo. That kid's Heavenbound.]

[Heaven - DRINK, DRINK, DRINK-]

Alrigh'...I'm takin' that one!

[Well, Jonouchi's gotten over his crisis it seems, even if he keeps jumping at his own arms. All things aside, now that he's been assured time and time again that they'll Totally fix this soon just take advantage of the perks- and well, it's Heaven so like, Awesome- he's found his way before the sample drinks.

....He's pointing at the stuffing spiced latte.] I remember Mokuba talkin' about that stuff! He said it's bread 'n stuff, how can I not see what a drink made of it tastes like! Bet it's like a smoothie!

...A hot smoothie!

[CHUG IT.

THREE.

TWO.

O-] AUGH IT'S NASTY-

[NETWORK - UN: luckyjacket]

oh man ive never had a phone this fast fuck yeah

haha textings so weird tho i had to redo that so many times

how does anyone do this with toebeans or whatever

SKEIN-VERSE JOU AKA 'Ra's Favorite'

[[OOC - This is Jonouchi as he is in the most recent portions of 'Skein' an incredibly long AU fanfic that went from a simple FemKaiba AU to a whole mess of lore and nonsense. The short of it is, this one's been through a wringer- and at the moment, is 17!]]

[Arrival]

Th' hell do y' mean none of 'm are here!?

[At the moment, an angel is having an argument with the cherub explaining the whole System Error thing going on. Whether he's had his freak out over that yet is...in the air. At the moment, Jonouchi looks more like a weird 'pastel' shadowy griffon, wings and all- though there's lines of gold in his eyes- which were otherwise red- and if one looks they can see a similar line in other places. The palm of one of his clawed hands, the side of his head...a lot on his feet...

There'd probably be more if not for the jeans, shirt, and red coat.]

Well, it looks like the system only had trouble with you is all! Huh, wonder why that is...

[As the cherub looks over their clipboard and hums, Jonouchi just...

Squawks. Genuinely squawks.] Th- Th' only- But Yug's got that whole-

[And then pauses, as if something just interrupted him. No one said a thing though. Still, he manages to frown despite having a beak.] ...nah wait, I guess that wouldn' count...

C'mon though, I can't stay here, that weird french guy's goin' after 'm...!!

They'll probably be alright, it's fine!

Ooo, or maybe, [chimes the local imp,] They'll end up here when that french guy get's 'm!

Don' even joke about that!!

[Heaven - Decisions, Decisions...]

Huhhhhh...I mean, I was gonna go for a cola or somthin', but I guess with weather like this...uhhh...

[Hand hovers over the apple spice...He pauses...

...Grimaces.] Er. Nevermind. Maybe...

[Over the Cranberry...p...pause...] ...Aw c'mon what th' hell...

[Stuffing...]

...Nah I don' need t' see how that one ends actually...

[WHY AREN'T THERE NORMAL DRINKS AIN'T THIS HEAVEN!?]

[Network - UN: redeyes]

aw heck yeah it wasnt taken

i didnt think heaven would have phones and shit but here we are this is awesome

i mean the kidnappin part aint but

anyway hey anyone here play duel monsters i still got my deck!!!

Edited (i forgor i gave him a phone as a plot device in spider fic shut-) 2024-11-30 16:27 (UTC)

Oh! I play!

[Finally, someone else who knows about Duel Monsters!]

I used to be able to play against my brothers, but they aren't here for some reason.

[(Why aren't IV and V here, III knows they died too!)]

You'll have to take a trip down if you want a real duel.

I don't back down from a challenge.

[He's playing it cool but actually, Kaiba's brain is absolutely activated at the idea of someone to play His Game, His Favorite Card Game, with.]

[ Someone Jonouchi has no way of identifying suddenly slings an arm around his shoulder as if they're old friends. (Though his demeanor is that of a guy trying to sell ya something,,)

...Well, ok, there's clues. His hair is white like Ryou's, if a different texture and pulled up, and he's got a pair of suspiciously familiar not-horns sticking up... between two pairs of actual-horns that are probably a more recent hell-ish addition.

But otherwise, he's shorter and better built than Ryou. He's much darker too - and he has a sprinkling of iridescent-white SCALES across his dark check bones, which... might look hell-induced but they're really not. His reptilian red-glowing eyes are only half due to hell's influence - normally they look weirder! But yeah, he's definitely a hell-raised. ]

Ironically, the good shit's down in what these losers call "hell". C'mon, lets get you out of this dump~

[It's a hell of a contrast to Jonouchi, truly. There's not a single fleck of blond left- and adding in the sweater, he isn't even really Dressed like normal either.

But there's no denying the kid's voice, and god knows anyone intent on trolling will catch the sound like a shark catches blood.]

Ny-h-!

[He doesn't quite Jump, but that might be because his spider sense isn't blaring. So he...he's PROBABLY safe right, yeah, probably-

....

oh god is this what being hit on is]

Ahahahhahahaaaa- [How many arms can he use to escape- He's not trying super hard to do it, but he sure looks baffled. There's even a blush under that black spider fluff!] N- Nice try man but there ain't no way I'm old enough for a bar crawl, I-

[wait hold up

That Voice

Let him squint. Pause, jaw hanging open. That.]

....B'kura...??

yeah smth tells me it goes back to that whole clerk error or whatever

Cool tho! You got your duel disk or nah
