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!]

Eponine Thenardier | Les Miserables musical
]Here among the colorful spring flowers is someone who doesn't belong. A boy -- no, a closer look shows that it's actually a young woman wearing boy's clothes, trousers, a long coat, a cap -- which isn't the unexpected part, but the fact that her shirt is covered in a large blood stain. Perhaps not everyone's death here is a clerical error.
She's attempting to mind her own business, in fact attempting to make her way out of the garden without drawing too much attention to herself. Which is of course not going to happen.
Say hello to Éponine Thénardier! Éponine is hopelessly in love with a boy who will never love her back!
I am not! [she protests. Except that she is.
Wait.]
Who said that?
[Pride ring]
[This is. A bit ridiculous.
Back at home, in the middle of a crowd like this, she'd be picking pockets. Could probably make a good amount doing so, too. Instead she's standing here in line, paired up with someone she doesn't even know, waiting for her turn to act like she's in a circus or something.
But then she perks up when she sees an agility course. She hasn't spent years running from the police for nothing. This is something she knows how to do.]
Don't worry, I've got this.
Garden.
[ Michael is cut off by his own tag singing a string of truths, which cause him to frown briefly. ]
The Archangel Michael, who will listen to and manage everyone’s problems but his own.
[ He may look a little intense with his penetrating stare and six wings but as soon as he catches sight of the bloodstained blouse he gives her a small, reassuring smile. ]
A new arrival, then? I imagine that was your nametag. Are you injured or is that blood from an earlier injury, Miss Thénardier? I can find you something suitable to wear if you want to look less conspicuous.
Perhaps something that will help you hide from whomever it is you are trying to avoid? [ There is a hint of amusement there, she is obviously trying to pass herself off as the opposite gender. However, if she does not bring it up, he will not pry further. ] As it already said, my name is Michael and you have nothing to fear from me here. Though I imagine hearing that is of little comfort right now.
no subject
I was injured. Is it possible to be injured in the...afterlife?
[All those things the priests kept trying to tell her, were they true?]
I'm not trying to avoid anyone.
Re: Eponine Thenardier | Les Miserables musical
Her own name tag decided to helpfully call out "Meet Skuld, who still hasn't figured out how to beat anyone at Mahjong!"
"HEY!" she protested.
no subject
Not that it had done her any good, in the end.
no subject
"Love should have to ask permission," she muttered darkly.
The small hammer she'd been holding started to float above her hands, she didn't seem to notice.
no subject
"You're right, it should."
Then she notices the hammer, and. Um. As new arrival, there's a lot she doesn't know yet.
"Is that supposed to happen?"
no subject
no subject
Not that she, a brand-new arrival, could probably be of much assistance if necessary.
no subject

She looks down at her blood-stained shirt. "I am dead though. So it's not a mistake."
no subject
Garden
He spotted a familiar figure and was surprised to see her there. H hadn't seen anyone here in a long time from his world. And of course it would be a Thenardier that would arrive here. He frowned, remembering her limp body lined up with the barricade boys.]
Thenardier?
[He quietly greeted. As he approached his name tag tried to speak and he immediately ripped it off and crushed it in his hand.]
Stupid thing.
no subject
And also --
The name tag gets no chance to say anything further. Despite appearances, she's not stupid. She just has to work within her lot in life; it's not her fault she was cursed with parents who are thieves and cons and never taught her any different. But she's clever enough to pick up on what they did teach her, and what she sees others do.
So she knows just how to silence the name tag before it can finish its sentence. She rips it off her coat and tosses it to the ground, where she stomps it under her foot. No, her...hoof? Because where her feet should be, she instead has a pair of perfectly-formed goat hooves.]
Those imps must have been telling the truth, because the only other explanation is that I'm dreaming, and I definitely would not dream about you.
no subject
[He watched her deal with the name tag and noted the hoves.]
Were you assigned to Hell?
no subject
Isn't that where I belong, Inspector?
no subject
[Javert replied. He didn't hear her name tag, but knew enough from having spied on the boys and the reactions to her death when he was captured.]
The boy is still alive.
no subject
Is that all you think it takes for an unblemished soul? Caring for someone?
no subject
[Javert gave a indifferent shrug.]
No, but it's a start. You're one up over your family and myself.
no subject
[Arrested or not, at least Marius is alive. Which had been her goal.]
Might have been easier if I weren't. I might still be alive.
no subject
[He shook his head. Such a waste for those boys to have died. That time in the barricades will forever haunt him.]
no subject
Such a shame they didn't ask your opinion, then.
no subject
Then you and the rest may be alive if they had. They had their chance. Like most young folk they think they know better.
Since you're here. I'll warn you the streets in Hell are far worse then the streets in France. There is now Law there to protect you. Not that I believe you feel you need it.
