MARCH/APR TEST DRIVE
MARCH TEST DRIVE
[ SEE GAME NAVIGATION TO READ UP ON HECK GAME BEFORE PLAYING IF YOU SO DESIRE ]
[CHECK OUT MORE ABOUT THESE LOCATIONS HERE]
A.SPRING FLOWERS INTRO - GARDEN
[Things are starting to warm up in the garden! Slowly and gently, things have begun to defrost. The saturated pink flowers from February have given way to gentle speckles of clover and bright flushes of green, knocking away the winter frost. Daffodils in bright yellow and white greet garden visitors.
Your local cherubs and imps have noticed that getting people to meet each other can be hard. Perhaps people just aren't as social in the worlds they come from! Surely, everyone's just too frozen stiff from the winter weather to break the ice!
Not to worry. They've got a solution! Visitors to the Garden this month will find a nametag affixed to their clothing again, but this time the nametag is here to do the work for you. When another person approaches or even just passes by, the nametag happily speaks up and describes a fun, short fact about its wearer!
Most of these facts are correct… but there's no telling whether or not they're anything you actually want to share. After all, it's not like the cherubs— or the nametags— asked.
B. IN LIKE A LION - PRIDE RING
It's Game Day in the Pride Ring— which is every day, of course. If you've taken the elevator down to floor one today you're inevitably swept up in the crowds, each eager to participate in and cheer for the public Obstacle Course Race.
You're slapped together with a partner and made to wait in line with them as pairs catapult themselves over platforms, jump through rings of fire, climb rocky crags, and swing over pools of steaming water to try and ring a buzzer. Pairs that make it to their destination get a sinful prize— two bottles of a prized hell drink that gives its drinker an ego trip the same way an energy drink would give you a buzz, and a shiny gold-colored badge with their name on it.
The only catch? Both competitors have to make it through to the end for either to receive a prize.
Maybe you're waiting in line, or perhaps you're going through with your partner— or maybe you've just gotta try and book it before anyone catches you. If you won, why not try enjoying that drink together?
C. OUT LIKE A LAMB - HUMILITY RING
[Those who found their way to the peaceful Humility ring are subject to a much less stressful experience. A cherub has organized a small scavenger hunt in hopes of getting folks to explore more of the ring— you know, if they don't mind. It isn't much, but they just hope you'll take advantage of all they have to offer, after all.
The tasks include:
…and other such cozy things. Really, it's a relaxing place to be.
Oddly enough, the place seems a bit more fortunate during the month, too. You might end up getting doubles of anything you obtain in the Humility ring— all the more reason to share with a friend!]
Wildcard

OOC NOTES:

It isn't much, but they just hope you'll take advantage of all they have to offer, after all.
The tasks include:
- taking a selfie with someone in a bookshop

- trading a handmade gift with a denizen from heaven or hell
- wearing a pair of lion ears
…and other such cozy things. Really, it's a relaxing place to be.

no subject
[no one accused her of being cute, though.]
It's pretty common to look like something else when you end up here.
Um, except for the people who weren't human in the first place, I guess...
no subject
[ a hum. ] Except for… are there other sapient species from other realities in this place? [ his eyes are bright with both wonder and curiosity. ]
no subject
[And Maya soaks it up, because it's fun to do so. She puts a hand to her cheek and everything.]
It's true, though! Get this— I've met some guys who say they're like, ancient sins.
[The concept is a little cerebral to her, but they're two of the coolest people she's met, so.]
no subject
[ of course he realizes why is he like this ]
Ancient... sins? [ There's a strange light in his eyes, though his face remains composed. ] As in, physical, living embodiments of sin?
no subject
Yeah! Exactly!
One of them just looks like a really fashionable bad-boy, but the other one's this gigantic bird man!
no subject
Rifling through and quickly discarding about a dozen, he instead says: ]
You’re kidding.
[ she’s not kidding.
He reaches up to touch one of his horns, coming over thoughtful. ]
Sin… right. [ sigh. ] I suppose that might explain these. Which sins precisely walk amongst us?
no subject
[Which she says very casually, as though Heaven and Hell don't really mean much to her.]
The one who looks like a cool guy says he's Greed. The other one is Lust, but he has another name, too. Um... Asmodeus? Everyone calls him Oz.
no subject
I don’t recognize the name. Not as a sin, anyway.
[ he glances away, his sharp eyes softening with a cool thoughtfulness. ]
I’ve died, then. We all have, presumably.
no subject
But they say it was just an accident, and that they're trying to sort it out. Technically, this isn't where people are supposed to go when they die in my world, or your world, either.
[That seems to be enough of a consensus that she can say it confidently.]
So.. we're all just here until it gets fixed.
no subject
I don’t suppose “they,” whomever they are, are at all interested in some help.
[ lET HIM OUT ]
no subject
[Maya holds her hands up in a shrug.]
I'm not even really sure what 'they' are? But you'd think they'd be open to a little assistance, right??
no subject
no subject
[whew.]
But— some people have already been sorted back, apparently!
