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

Queen Beelzebub | Helluva Boss
[Flowers are blooming. And where there are flowers, there are bees, and where there's bees... there is honey.]
Hell yeah, never been able to party it up in a garden like this.
[Not her usual digs, but Bee's quick to go with the flow. She's practically buzzing as she conjures a tall glass of something colourful as the imps and cherubs finish fiddling with that nametag on her shirt.]
Yeah, yeah. Hospitality's my bread and butter. Don't gotta explain to me the rules-
Beelzebub is the deadly sin of gluttony!
Well that's just common fuckin fact. If you're gonna start spewing info about me to the world, you'd better start giving out the really juicy bits.
[Obnoxiously long sip dot wav]
[Pride Ring]
[Whoop, you've been partnered with a powerful sin. Good luck for you, right? Except Bee is looking less enthused than usual, as she waits in line for the games to begin.]
This ring opens up but I can't head back to Gluttony? Psh, talk about playing un-favorites.
[Humility Ring]
[Conversely, Bee's feeling awkward here. Humility? This whole concept was outside her wheelhouse. Gluttony was about living in excess, to excess.
How can she spread the good times in these conditions?]
Hey, hey! Full-sized mocha latte with aaaall the fixings, for you and your mother******* pleasure.
[Cherubs scatter from her path, leaving the Sin disgruntled and holding a lot of different treats others aren't accepting.]
no subject
[Mae hops into line. She's not really a coffee person, but those overly sweet mochas sound pretty good right now.]
Gotta get a ton of whip cream too!
busts in
[Just a swirl of her finger and there's a heaping helping of whip cream on top of that sucker. And, miraculously, it doesn't fall over when she hands it to Mae.]
Help yourself and then some, girlypop.
no subject
Holy shit! It's whip cream heaven.
[She shoves her face right in. And when she pulls her face out, she looks a little messy.]
How'd you do that? Magic?
no subject
A little treat from all the powers of Hell is what it is. [Yes that IS small for her.] You got a name, blue berry?
no subject
[Oh right her name!]
Mae Borowski!
Humility
A hand extends beside her to accept her gift and he doesn't say anything immediately. Normal people had a difficult time telling him and Lucifer apart, but a Sin? Surely (he thinks) she has spent enough time with him to tell. Finally: ]
No matter what you offer them, they won't take it. Hello, Beelzebub.
no subject
Speaking of--] Oh f***ing ***** f***! [She doesn't so much jump back as she buzzes. Hands flailing to catch her colourful concoctions.] Luci-- wait, no... Michael? Wow, man, it's been eons. Haven't seen hide or hair of you since.
[...]
Honestly? I can't remember the last time we spoke.
Pride
[ Runa doesn't belong here she's a perfectly slightly below-average level of athleticism, who doesn't get anything out of her changes here. ]
no subject
[Like she's a literal... well, yeah. She's not exactly an athletic person either. Unless you count the weeks-long ragers.]
Oh yeah, you totally look like you have a taste for that action.
no subject
[ Yeah! Party animal. She sure is... foxy? Other thingsy too, maybe. ]
I do get tired out a little quickly at parties too, though.
no subject
[And she's all too happy to provide.]
You got a particular treat you're dying for, honey?
no subject
I'll never have to sleep again.
...really, all I wanted to do back home was get out for ramen, but it's tough to find a place that's right, here.
no subject
[A whirl of her hand and - where did that bowl come from? It's hot to the touch, with a more-than-descent serving of noodles within.]
...Huh. [She hesitates.] Normally, I wouldn't give a shit about serving up a bite, but running on a full stomach can be even more of a bitch than running on an empty one.
no subject
[ Or consistently trashy.
She reaches for the bowl carefully. ]
