[ 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.]

Kalim?

[What the hell is on his head. And - wait - his feet?? Vil straight up stares for a moment, not sure whether to be horrified or amazing. He shoves the whole issue aside for a much, much more important question.]

Where is Jamil?

[Not why are you here. Not why do you look like that. Not even are you all right? No. What Vil wants to know is where Kalim's keeper is, because everyone knows he's the only thing keeping Scarabia half-functional. If he's not here to ensure Kalim isn't merrily prancing along and knocking people over -

Well. Then there'll be trouble.

He takes a deep breath, and very very carefully, stands.]

Ahem. I mean, what are you doing here?

[broasis]

[Well, the good news is that Scarabia is probably as functional as it's ever been now that Kalim is... well. Here. Which may very well be the best case scenario for everyone involved! Except for, uh. Kalim. Who has been avoiding thinking about Jamil altogether (to the best of his ability, which is uh... not excellent) for the last several weeks to keep from spiraling completely out of control. Things are fine! Totally fine! Nothing to worry about!]

Ah-- uh. Um. Ahaha! Funny story, about that! [He laughs, but his discomfort is palpable.] Heeeeee's. Nnnot here. [And he really, really doesn't want to think about why he is, but Jamil isn't. Kalim really thought everything was getting better after the overblot, but...]

Wasn't here when I showed up and still hasn't come around yet. You're the first I've seen from school since, uhhh... Well, me! [He laughs, lifting himself to his feet with a flap of his pearlescent wings.] Azul and Idia are here, too! They got here before I did.

[Chattering helps him push the distress further back in his mind, giving him the chance to shine that ridiculously bright smile of his right Vil's way.]

Come on, I can take you to Azul's lounge! [And just like that he's looping arms to start dragging him down the street. Sorry, Vil!] 'Said he's got one down here and I was just on my way to give it a look-see!

[fairestqueen]

[Kalim here on his own is almost certainly a recipe for disaster.

...but is that Vil's problem? Not really. He's got his own house to look out for, even if it seems that none of them are here, and no desire to take the place of Kalim's keeper. If his responsibilities as housewarden are temporarily on hold, that just means that he can spend his free time on important things like refining his workout routine and trying new makeup palettes.]

Oh!

[He stumbles after Kalim, more or less keeping upright, though it isn't easy - or as graceful as he would like.]

Slow down.

[An order, of course, not a request at all. But at least he doesn't sound angry, just somewhat frazzled.]

I'm going to break my ankle if we go that fast. I refuse to start my time here with a broken ankle. [A pause.] Can we get hurt here? If we're supposedly dead?

[broasis]

Oh, sorry! I forget how fast I can get on these things, hehe.

[Gonna be a little more careful with his speed and movements now-- he's still getting used to these bunny legs, but he'd really not like to be responsible for breaking one of the more expensive ankles in town.]

Thaaat's a great question! Did it hurt when you fell from Heaven? [He winks, but then promptly bursts into laughter. If he was trying to flirt, Kalim's clearly not very good at it. But surely Vil must know that nobody gets more of a kick out of their own jokes than Kalim.]

[fairestqueen]

[Vil manages not to roll his eyes, but it's a near thing. He'd forgotten just how Kalim Kalim can be.]

It certainly stung just now, yes. So I suppose that answers my question well enough.

[Actually, it stung his pride more than anything, but that's just Vil.]

That new look of yours is cute, but rather unexpected.

[broasis]

We can ask Azul for a pack of ice for you to sit on when we get there; that should help, right?

[There's a delay in his processing of that compliment, since's he's far too busy giggling about the thought of poor Vil sitting on ice like the fanciest chilled champagne.]

Ah, thanks! I'm still getting used to it, but it's pretty fun! Check it out, I'm super soft, too! [Pushing his sleeve up and holding his arm out for Vil to experience the velvety softness himself.]

One guy told me I'd make a great coat! [He laughs at this decidedly horrible "compliment," but leave it to Kalim to be the only one who would take it that way.] I told him I thought I was pretty lucky to have one built in, but I'll tell you it's not enough for the kinda cold this place can get! Ahaha!

[fairestqueen]

So long as he doesn't try to charge an obscene amount for it.

[With people handing out things left and right, can Azul even make any kind of a profit here?]

It would really depend on the make. You have to be careful with accessorizing with a fur coat, you can so easily begin to look garish. [Okay, he's not exactly agreeing with that guy, but he's not quite disagreeing either.] Do they have shampoo for your fur here? It is quite soft, but I'm sure you could make it even softer.
