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.]

[ooc: no idea if i'll app this guy yet but let's play anyway, shall we]

Autumnwinter Celebrations

[There is nothing Leona wants to do less than party right now. In fact, he's particularly intrigued by the idea of taking a nap. The problem is, no one seems inclined to let him just sleep. If it's not an imp offering him beer, it's a cherub offering him ginger ale, and anyone who looks Leona's way can tell at a glance that he's downright fuming about it.

Finally, finally, he manages to escape prying eyes by swinging up into a tree, tucking himself between two branches filled with bright yellow and red leaves, and getting nice and comfy in the tree's shade. This... this could be heaven, whether or not he's supposed to be in it.

Of course, when he finally falls asleep, his tail is left hanging down between the branches, the only evidence that anyone's up there (besides the tell-tale sound of snoring for anyone who stands directly below him. It would definitely be a bad thing to disturb this guy, right? You wouldn't just go up to a guy's tail and mess with it, right???]

Heaven's beach/A

[Finally... finally, a place to rest where people are supposed to rest, and so no one can complain about Leona being in their damn territory or whatever the problem is. Surely if this is heaven, no one will disturb him as he lounges (fully clothed, for whatever reason) on a beach chair under an umbrella, savoring the perpetual twilight and light breeze and perfect temperature.

And he isn't disturbed, not for long enough that he's able to fall right to sleep and to stay asleep for a while too. So long, in fact, that when the tide comes in, he's still on that beach chair, snoozing.

It's not until the water knocks his umbrella away that Leona stirs, sitting up, putting his hand straight down into perfectly warm and perfectly clear saltwater. He just kind of sits there for a moment, staring at the water pooling over his chair and around his legs, and eventually...

Leans forward, putting his hand to his temple.]

You've gotta be fucking kidding me.

[Maybe... maybe help him out? Or maybe don't perceive him. That one might be safer.]

Heaven, B

[For absolutely no reason later on, Leona can be found staring out at the ocean again, this time wearing nothing but a beach towel, scowling at another beverage he's been offered. If you pass by him, he'll smirk suddenly, offering—]

Hey. Those little sheep are passing out drinks again. You want this one?

[as if he's being nice, and not just avoiding taking this one to the trash, which is yards away but still within a visible distance.]

It's yours.

[It's an apple spiced latte! or maybe it's a drink with a different effect...?]

wildcard
[I didn't have much brain for prompts, so if these don't work for you, tag me with anything! i'm open to it all, just want to get a more solid hold on this guy's voice.]

[ Leona's peace is promptly interrupted by somebody tugging on his tail like it's an old fashioned door bell. ]

Ding dong!

[a good number of leaves fall out of the tree as Leona leaps up and grabs another branch, growling loudly.]

What the fuck do you think you're doing?!

[wait, what the fuck kind of guy is this?!]

[ Beetlejuice doesn't let go of his tail. ]

Oh, good! You're home! Do you have a moment to talk about The Lord?

[Leona stares at Beetlejuice with as much concentrated hatred as he can muster, which is apparently a lot.]

You've got three seconds to get your hand off me.

[ The ghoul smiles up at him, utterly unflappable. ]

Listen, there's a party at The Devil's Nest tonight and everyone's invited--especially you, newbie.

[did he just—]

Hey.

Are you even listening to me?!

It starts around six and goes until everyone is unconscious!

[ Finally, one finger at a time, he releases the other man's tail. However, he was far from done spreading propaganda. Leona would feel something poking the top of his head. If he were to look up, he would find a second Beetlejuice hanging from the branch above him by his knees. He's shoving a scrap of paper with direction scibbled on it toward him. ]

First drink is always free! And hey, you're pretty, I'm sure you could score a a few more after that!

[Leona looks up, slow, disbelieving. But just as his ears and nose suggest, Beetlejuice is above him.

God. Fucking Fae. This guy is just like Lilia.]

Alright, old man, I'm ready to press skip on your whole little advertisement here.

[He leaps down from his own branch, really not wanting to deal with Beej, and starts to walk away.]

Let it go now and I won't tear your head off for this one.

[Ruby was happening along, and isn't this a sight. And that's coming from a flying girl still wearing a woolen toque, mittens, and scarf as she hurries over the temperate beach. Stopping just to hover over Leona's position.]

Hey, way to enjoy the sun and water at the same time!

[She means it, too.]

[fuuuucking ancestors in the stars of course there's kids on the beach. At least, Leona's pretty sure this is some kind of kid and not another cherub. Doesn't smell like one, anyway.]

Uh-huh. Real nice and vacationy.

[He lets out a long, grumbling sigh through his nose. Don't immediately yell at the kid, Leona, she didn't do anything...]

You lookin' for someone?

Nah.

[Shrug! Whoa. She rights herself to avoid dropping a paper bag tucked carefully under her arm. Thing looks about ready to topple.]

Just saw you out here in the water and felt like saying 'hi'... Hi! [:D] Are you enjoying the festivities so far?

[Oh great! She's meddlesome, too. Just what Leona wanted yaaaaay.]

...Festivities?

[He very slowly looks back over his shoulder at those further inland.]

What festivities?

[ugh he did not come here to PARTICIPATE either fuck]

[Beach beach beach!! It's like the Scalding Sands but with the ocean waaaaaaay closer! The sand is beautiful too, like glistening like gold beneath the sun and reflecting off the sparkling waves bright enough that he almost wishes his sunglasses would sunglass a little harder. But being partially blinded by the beach and all its splendor is what has him unawares of who exactly he's stumbled upon and is... offering him this beverage...

Though the voice is kind of familiar.]

Thanks, but I don't take drinks from strangers!

[Shading his eyes, he squints at said stranger, his brows bouncing up over the rim of his glasses in surprise once he realizes--]

Leona?! [Azul, Idia, Vil... and now Leona? Are they slowly getting picked off one by one, or--] They got you, too?!

And here I was, about to be offended.

[He really wasn't. However, he could tell by scent that the guy in front of him was Kalim, which is kind of an unfair advantage.

...Well, if Kalim's not gonna take this drink, Leona's gonna carefully balance it on the fence nearby and then cross his arms.]

I already heard you were here. Ain't my fault if you didn't hear the same.

Wh-- you did!?

[Hopping on over to join him, laughing all the way. Where most people would think to keep their distance, Kalim has zero qualms getting up in Leona's business--]

Who'd you run into? Nobody told me you were here, yet! [But then he notices the horns.] Whooooa. You got horns like Malleus! You look so cool!

[For a moment Leona is surprisingly calm, doing very little beyond leaning back an inch— and then Kalim implies that Leona is anything like Malleus and his expression sours.

Grasping Kalim's ears in one hand to keep him in one place—]

Oi. Don't even think about reaching up right now.

[He puts on a smirk, though, trying to move past the rush of anger with a warning, as if he's completely in control of the situation.]

I can't speak for that lizard, but I bite.

..And anyway, I ran into Vil.

Edited 2024-12-24 05:04 (UTC)

A-aah--

[That's such a weird feeling!! He hasn't had his ears gripped yet.

On top of that, nobody outside of his siblings would ever even think to manhandle Kalim like this! Leona better be glad they're not on Asim property or else he'd be walking home sans hands. Not that Kalim cares that much, his first thought isn't even to retaliate! Instead, he simply whines and pleads, reaching up to hold onto Leona's wrists and tug them down a bit to relieve the pressure on his skull.]

H-hey, c'mon Leona, relax!! I wasn't gonna-- [He was totally gonna.] --touch'em, I swear!!

[He's like a little kid... Well, not that you could grab Cheka's ears this way. You can grab his tail, though, and as mean as it is it's still pretty funny...

Anyway, Leona lets go, but not without rustling his hand through Kalim's hair between his ears. He does not believe for a second that Kalim wasn't going to touch the horns, but he does believe that now he won't.]

Who went and gave you these, anyway?

[By which ofc he's asking— is it part of the Heaven schtick?]

[He's a baaaby how could you be so cruel to him. He pulls his ears down to smooth them over, bottom lip puffed out in a pout while he situates himself.]

Uhhh, these guys? I guess? [Sorta waves around at... the area they're in? Surely he must know what he means. The cherubs and stuff.]

I'm an angel! A rabbit? Angel? For some reason? I dunno what that's about, but it's pretty cool, right? I've got, like, a thousand foot vertical leap. [Aaand he thought that was pretty funny. So funny he's smacking Leona on the arm about it. Sorry, guy. Once he wears himself out with that, he wipes his eyes and moves on to patting Leona on the back now--]

You look just like... yourself! Just, you know. With really cool horns! But... [Stops to looook behind him.] ...shooooouldn't you have wings? [Literally Kalim and all the rest of their classmates that are here do...]

Ooh, or is it that you figured out how to hide them already? Can you show me? I really miss laying on my back.

[Why is he touching him??? Leona looks around as if to see if anyone else is witnessing this bullshit, but to no avail.]

Aren't you supposed to be a second year?

Mm... Then again...

[Leona looks Kalim over... no, that would be beyond his experience for now, wouldn't it.]

...Yeah, no, I don't care enough. Teachin' you anything's gonna be a pain in the ass.

[He's always been a touchy guy, he's just not had much time to get touchy on you Leona. Now he's comfort seeking in the presence of people he considers friends and sorry, but.... you're on that list.]

Ah, c'mon! It's not like there's a class on hiding new limbs! Or even old ones!

And look at that... Not a lick of what you said sounded like my problem.

[Leona's tail starts swinging left and right with every touch...]

Seriously?! Is it really that hard?!

I mean, I guess it must be if even you can't do it.
