[ 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.]

Mannnn... I guess if we're goin' right back to th' same time sure, but that doesn' make it any less crap...

[He predictably misses where the confusion on the French guy is.] Yeah I kinda f'rgot his name already...probably fake, dude was suspicious as hell...

[He takes in the kid. Awwww, cute hair.] ...You doin' okay too kid?

[Damn even the children are getting mis-death'd...]

Yeah... That's fair. It doesn't make waiting now much better... but at least you don't have to go right now. When it gets sorted, it'll be sorted properly!

[That's the hope, anyway! Kieran nods.] We're almost the same age... [Guy has to be like, what, three years older or something? Kieran hasn't hit his growth spurt but he's not a kid! ~~He's a baby.~~] I mean... yeah. I'm fine! Just getting used to things. Sorta scary, knowing that if things weren't different I'd be bound for hell but otherwise it's okay. Haha...

Uh... I'm Kieran. What's your name?

Exactly!!

[And...wat-] NYH- For real!? Y' look as old as S- [WHOOPS don't say that-] Kaiba's kid brother! How old are y' then!?

[Well, age aside.] Mmn....Jonouchi Katsuya. Er...yeesh, sucks about th' destination, they're seriously sendin'-

[kids-] Uh...You there, huh...

As who? [Kieran... has no idea who you're talking about.] I'm 13... but I'm gonna be 14 soon. That's like.... what, two or three years younger than you?

[Any indignation about his age deflates a little as Jou continues. Kieran absent-mindedly twirls the lock of loose hair, making the Hydrapple with horns chase it the wiggling finger.]

Yeah... I mean... It's okay. I deserve it... But d-don't worry too much about it! It's fine! Really! Hell is pretty okay! I mean... it's really hot but I don't like the cold too much anyway. And neither does Hydrapple here, so it works out. [He doesn't want to make it a pity party so he quickly gestures to his hair as a distraction. The Hydrapple look at Kieran and then look to Jou confusedly.]

Yeaaaaah, sorry bud, try three t' four, [He laughs- though gently, at least.]

I mean, y' sure? We're talkin about like...The 'Bad place', all pitchforks 'n torture or whatever ain't it...?

That's basically the same! [Kieran says with the indignation of a child.]

Y-yeah. But we're not being tortured so it's mostly like... imps and other people doing sex, drugs and partying. Or violence. Lots of that. I try avoid it when I can.

Psfhfhhfh... [He's trying not to laugh, but not trying hard enough.] Nah, sorry kid, but it's def'nitely not th' same..!

[...Eugh, he's grimacing though.] Er...good t'know, cause there was like, one good thing in that list an' I get th' feelin' you ain't much for it.

[Violence? Partying? Mysteries.] You jus' hang out up here most of the time or somethin' then?

Fine, that's fair. But I'm not a kid. [Kieran's still pouting a little but the corners of his mouth are turned up. He knows he was pushing it with the age thing (Carmine is younger than this guy) but he's not a child!!!]

Mmm... Yeah... I'm either training here in the garden or hiding in the hotel. I prefer not being in hell... [He sighs. He knows he's a bit of a coward. He hates it.]

[Alright, alright, sure bud- He won't say it any more but you're super duper a kid.]

Trainin'? [That catches his attention though.] What like weights an' stuff?

Yeah. I'm trying to get stronger so I'm not 'fraid all the time. Plus, I'm trying to see if it helps Hydrapple.

[His hair perks up as the heads are called.] See, back at home, Hydrapple can use all sorts of powers. And since I'm syrupy here, like a Hydrapple, I was hoping if I trained I'd unlock something else. Like Fickle Beam or Power Whip!

[Yah lost 'm kiddo.]

Nyh...Hydrapple?

These guys! Say hi, everyone!

[The seven heads attached to Kieran lift themselves up, having been called by Kieran. The syrupents blink at Jou curiously and one extends to even sniff at Jou.]

Hydrapple is a dragon/grass Pokemon. Usually, they're made of seven syrupents inhabiting a giant candy apple instead of my head. They're really strong.

[He's beaming. He's happy. He's beaming, he's ha-

............................]

...Pokemon..?

Uh... yeah. [Unfortunately, Kieran's used to explaining what Pokemon are.] They're sort of like magical animals from my world. They can use all sorts of powers like manipulate fire or shape the ground and stuff. They're usually super friendly - everyone has at least one. Hydrapple is just one of thousands of Pokemon!

An' they're real..?

[Jonouchi sounds curiously awestruck.]

Uh... Yeah, that's what I said, right?

[Kieran asks, brow furrowed in confusion.]
