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:

  • taking a selfie with someone in a bookshop

  • sharing a coffee with a new friend at a coffee shop with an animal on the sign

  • 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.

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!]

[She waves off his words immediately.]

Oh come on, where's your sense of excitement?

[Here she gestures at that crimson spaded tail behind her and the same crimson touched with black horns upon her head.]

Besides, doesn't the whole hell thing have to do with fire? So I mean ...

[Don't tell her the whole talk of no special powers was real.]

It disappeared when I died 50 years ago. Come on, if you want some booze. I got some at my casino. We don't need none as some shitty prize.

[... Hm.]

I didn't exactly care about the booze to be honest. A casino does sound like a lot more fun.

[Maybe not as wildly dangerous but fun no less.]
