TEST DRIVE MEME #19
Arrival
You remember a dream.
Or maybe nightmare is more accurate.
It was full of hellfire nipping at your skin and a sensation of being pulled down no matter how much you struggle or cry for help. There's a voice that feels like it's coming from all around you at once. Contrasting with the nightmare unfolding around you, it's smooth as silk. It makes you want to listen with every bit of attention you can muster in the moment.
"Judgement has come upon you, but not to worry. It can still be undone."
The voice promises you redemption for your sins. It promises you a better life and everything you could ever want, if only you just stop struggling so much.
And so you do.
Everyone wakes up in the same room initially. The room is done up in red with a cushy bed, a window, an old TV in the corner on a desk, and a few Hieronymus Bosch paintings lining the wall. There's a bathroom to clean up in and any belongings will be sat around the room to be gathered later. There's a duffel bag provided for your convenience.
After feeling a sensation of falling or dropping onto the bed, characters wake up feeling like they've just slept for a week. Their body will feel heavy and stiff, and they'll have a massive headache at first.
They'll quickly notice the list of their sins written with their blood on a bedside table on an old piece of parchment. This will mean the list is tied to them and can't be changed or tampered with. They'll also receive their device to connect with others and the network. It won't be anything terribly fancy. As a matter of fact, it looks like a very old Blackberry type phone.
Once characters are ready to leave the room, they'll head down long, winding halls. They're dimly lit and have an ominous feeling. They may encounter fellow sinners or demonic staff that will direct the newcomer down to the lobby to get their actual room key to settle in. The staff may be pushy, or they may border on courteous. It really just depends on the mood of the staff at the time and how they're treated in return. Eventually, everyone comes to stairs that lead downward.
Once down to the lobby, you'll notice the front desk manned by a demon who looks bored out of its mind. To the side of him is the door to the kitchen, where guests may help themselves. To the right is a small duty free shop that seems to have a surprisingly normal, expected stock of items. Look around a bit further, there will be a tiny bar tucked in through a corner door. It seems pretty well-stocked and best of all, there's a demonic bartender who seems to know how to mix any drink you can imagine (and a few you can't). Of course there's some seating, bar games, and a jukebox tucked in the corner if you'd rather stay and socialize a bit. There's also a new addition of a karaoke machine.
Please note that all the songs on the jukebox are appropriately hell-themed. Hopefully Sympathy for the Devil is universally loved.
Stand Your Ground Sinners, new and old alike, will note the freezing cold conditions continuing. It seems like that's just the way it will be for the foreseeable future. Staff seems at a loss for whether this is Lucifer's doing or God's, but either way, none of the local demons seem any happier than the guests. The bloody snow still stands high enough that one may sink in should they venture out and flakes are continuing to fall to only add to the accumulation.
The territory outside still seems to be shaken up from the quake that recently happened, hellfire nipping through cracks in the ground. It's the only thing keeping the snow melted in parts. Demons are trying to shovel paths through the blood snow to get to the local establishments around Hell and they are absolutely not above forcing sinners to work! Slack off too much, they will not hesitate to punish via physical means or denial of food.
The staff will also be asking for help with the animals around the hotel. The horse-like hell beasts can't be rehomed, so they'll need to be kept warm in the stable behind the hotel, and all other animals have been moved to the curiously large hotel basement to be kept safe.
Guests may also notice that there are skeletal soldiers stationed around the hotel and out by the gates. They're out to watch for the local hell cult, The Veiled Order. These guys seem to take their stations seriously, refusing to speak to any who may approach them, no matter how annoying they are. However, try to start anything physical, and you'll witness the wrath of Hell's greatest soldiers!
Those who are sensitive to reading others may note these guys seem to be constantly suffering, having been skinned down to the very bone, and may read a bit of black magic keeping their souls intact and their bodies animated. Not much can be done to ease their suffering, unfortunately!
Best to just leave them be and let them do their job!
Lilith seems to be mostly back to her old job, although she's still bandaged up a bit. She'll be seen around the hotel, greeting new arrivals or speaking quietly to her succubi. Presumably about Club Penance plans for the upcoming theme! Lucifer will also be present around the hotel should anyone need him, but he may seem just a tiny bit distracted... and maybe just a tiny bit down about the current season.
Can't help if there's a bit of sibling rivalry, right? After all, there's no Lucifer day and he was very literally a child of God once upon a time too. As a matter of fact, some may overhear him complaining to Lilith or the staff about it! There are also whispers about blocking God going around the hotel. Huh, nothing could go wrong with that, right?
Prompt I: Give Us a Kiss Aside from all that busy work, the local demons seem to be trying to make the most of the current weather pattern and terrible situation. This includes getting Christmas decorations up to please God, although there's plenty of grumbling about it. There's a lot of grumbling coming from the bar area where the jukebox is consistently playing Christmas jingles of the worst kind. Guests may also want to watch for the strange mistletoe that seems to be floating around the hotel. It's been enchanted to chase those inside the hotel around and trap them! They will be held until a kiss is given.
It doesn't have to be a romantic kiss, but... the staff isn't telling anyone that. Have fun!
Of course if someone wants to try to wait it out, they're free to attempt it... they might just be in for a very, very long wait.
Prompt II: Grab Those Iceskates In an attempt to cheer up the dour mood, Lucifer has also approved a tour to one of the frozen over lakes just outside the gates for some impromptu iceskating and adventuring. Please do note that the lakes tend to run bloody and may contain the frozen souls of the damned, but... well, ignore those bumps along the way and it's actually quite fun! The guides will even set up a fire for those who decide that they'd like to warm up with some s'mores, hot chocolate, or other treats (they're also offering warmed blood and other nasty bodily fluids for those who'd prefer!)
Due to the cold, it seems feral beasts are few and far between, but one can't entirely rule out attacks from hungry animals! Not to worry, the guides will likely protect those who venture out. Probably.
Upon returning to the hotel, guests are still encouraged to seek each other out for warmth as the heat continually malfunctions. Not to worry! They'll fix it.... eventually.
Reach Up High
Prompt I: Just a Little Cut WARNINGS: mutilation, blood, cutting.
Whether you've been here for months or you're freshly arrived, your demonic overlord unfortunately expects some participation despite the current state of things. You can try and shirk the responsibility, of course. You can bargain your way out of it for a while. But eventually, you may find yourself trapped in a room just off the gym that's been fondly dubbed The Torture Room. It has all manner of equipment in there, along with an iron maiden even.
But don't worry about any of that right now. It probably won't be used.
You can try the door, but even with super human strength or every lock picking skill in the book, you won't be able to open it.
It soon becomes apparent what you're supposed to do when someone else is eventually shoved in with you. Both of your lists of sins will appear on a table that's been placed in the center of the room, along with two handy knives. You can choose to guard these or not care at all that they're on display.
"Know that honesty is a good place to start on your road to redemption. Sure, it can be terrifying at first, but that's why you've been given a partner in this journey. Pick up your knives and carve at least one sin into each other's flesh. Help in the journey to be candid with everyone you should meet here!"
The voice echoes all around you again, just like in the nightmare, and once again there's the pull to give in. This voice really does seem like it has your best interests at heart. It's the Devil himself, so you might as well get used to hearing this voice.
"I do apologize for this. If it was up to me, you would have been free of torment this month, what with celebrations looming. However, that simply isn't the case. There will be additional incentive for anyone who should try to resist the task I've appointed them."
It isn't a lie nor an idle threat either. The longer you wait to do what's been requested of you, the more shallow cuts that will appear on both of your bodies. Are you really prepared to endure this pain when giving in would be so much easier?
And more than that, are you willing to let another suffer along with you?
Eventually, the cuts will stop if you suffer them long enough, but you'll have failed this challenge and sustained more damage than if you'd just gone along with it. Satan will also be very disappointed in you.
Prompt II: Just a Chat "My dear guests!" Lucifer greets as sinners are led to a room with two seats and a table in between. They then will be made to sit by two burly demon escorts.
"What I am asking of you is rather simple... pick a sin from your contract, any sin, and explain how you got to that point. Simple enough, yes? Perhaps gaining a better understanding of what made you sin in the first place will clear a path into avoiding situations like this in the future, as well as form that all too important human connection that I'm told some of you are desperately needing. Please don't try to get out of it... I really would rather not punish you.".
And true to his word, so long as sinners comply and share what made them perform a sin on their list, they'll be let go. If, after five minutes, nothing has been shared, a headache will begin. The pain will gradually increase until it floods the body. Nosebleeds may begin to happen, so will bleeding out the ears or eyes. Eventually, a sinner may even lose a sense for a 24 hour period.
Is it really worth potentially going blind just to get out of a little bit of talking? Come now...
(Effects should begin 5 comments in and gradually worsen until sinners either give in or start to lose one of their senses. After this, they'll be released from the room regardless whether they complied or not)
Follow Me Down
Prompt I: The Krampus WARNINGS: sex, drugs, alcohol, aphrodisiacs, body violence, potential kinks, potential non-con or dub-con, possible vore.
Christmas has reached Club Penance in a rather... interesting way. While the hotel is opting to celebrate the birth of Christ in the most festive and cheerful of ways, the club has opted for a punishment theme. The Krampus has come to town to punish all the naughty boys and girls and whatever else lurks about! There are demons who both resemble the Krampus and those simply seeming to be donning cheap costumes running around, using chains and bundles of birch branches to swat patrons. They will loudly proclaim a sin of the victim as they do so, usually sexual in nature (or rather innocuous if one is in the dance portion of the club!)
Patrons will also be encouraged to participate in the punishments! Pillory stocks are set up in one section of the club, along with St. Andrews Crosses, wooden horses, chairs where all the fun parts are sure to be exposed for fun or torture, etc. There are instruments freely available and demonic staff eager to instruct those curious in how to use them.
As the night continues on, the sex portion of Club Penance will also begin virgin sacrifices ('Virgin' is used in a relative way. Someone who has never had anal qualifies, or one who has never performed oral, spanked, or played with bondage, etc. There are so few virgins in Hell after all!) Those kidnapped by the Krampus will be carried to the stage to perform the act, and given a good dose of aphrodisiacs if they need it. It isn't a sacrifice if an act isn't performed by the fun of the crowd!
Some of these sacrifices may take on festive or ritualistic behaviors. Dressed all in white, decorated with flowers, or wrapped up like gifts. Chants of crowds going on around the participants, etc. The only sure thing is the sacrifice will not be allowed to leave until their task is complete!
In the dance portion of the club, these sacrifices may stay focused more on drugs or alcohol one may not have tried yet, or other experiences of a less sexual nature that the demons may grant their patrons. No sex acts will be forced in this section of Club Penance.
Overall, some guests may also notice something strange beginning to spread in the air that may not fade even after they leave the club! Along with aphrodisiacs that do fade with time, there is something in the air that may begin making people feel... possessive or greedy. They set their sights on someone or something, and they'll feel an undeniable urge to own it. With enough resilience, they'll be able to ignore it, but hopefully this isn't concerning foreshadowing of anything to come... Holidays do get strange in Hell!
For those who want even more extreme kinks, the demons are also offering a unique chance to experience the absolutely unique experience of being sensually devoured alive. This will utilize VR technologies in the club and played on screen for those who wish to view the experience as an outside party! Two patrons will be selected to enter the VR world and will be able to engage in a little bit of vore. The scene type and scenario will be left up to patrons to decide, but please rest assured that no actual death will occur! Sinners will wake up after the scene safe and in one piece!
Prompt II: Have a Drink WARNINGS: Alcohol and drug abuse, potential non-con/dub-con
With all the sinners, new and old, the hotel bar will be lit up with activity. Drinks will be readily available, there's food in the kitchens being brought out by staff of all varieties, music will be blaring and overall, there will be an energy to the atmosphere that's absolutely contagious. Even if you aren't typically inclined to linger at these sorts of events there may be be a certain pull to stay and have a bit of fun.
You might not get much of a chance to have that in Hell, after all. One drink won't hurt, right? Nor will one more after that, and after that. Ah, sweet gluttony. Why not have a pastry next? There's some delectable sweets available just a few steps away. More of a meat person? Like things salty? Fear not, it looks like someone graciously brought all sorts of snacks and foodstuffs from the kitchens to the bar as the night progresses. Indulge! You deserve it.
Regulars may notice the shift towards holidays with peppermint flavored drinks and sweets joining the mix, as well as all the holly jolly music you could want! You might not want to try the Baby Jesus cake though. Just don't.
Similar to Club Penance, the bar also has every sort of drug available that might tickle your fancy and some you've never heard of. There's no harm in experimenting, is there? You're already in Hell. The staff will offer to show anyone how to use the drugs or give advice for what to try if you tell them what you want to experience. Shockingly, they won't lie! Their advice is good word its just you might not have been exactly prepared for it.
There's a stage and a karaoke machine for those feeling brave or just wanting to torture people with some sweet, sweet renditions of The Devil Went Down to Georgia.
There are tables set up for all sorts of gambling and various bar games to entertain yourself with. Since currency as most are familiar with it doesn't quite exist down here, most of the demons seem to be accepting bits of your soul or offers to do chores around the hotel. You may also get pulled into a fun game of strip poker against one of your fellow guests for a few succubi that are having a night out.
Relax and enjoy your night. Coming here and facing your sins is the hard part, so surely you deserve to have a little fun.

( arrival )
For a few moments, he doesn't even trust himself to respond, brought back to that night and the flames that had engulfed Kavinsky. But he shoves it down to deal with later and jerks his chin up, mouth a flat line in his face.
"Might've guessed."
no subject
In the end, Kavinsky settled for an enthusiastic double-handed flip off.
"Hello to you too, Lynch. Lovely to see you. Enjoying your stay?"
no subject
So although he flips K off in return--it's reflex, really, no one could expect Ronan Lynch not to--he does none of those other things. Instead, he steps closer, pale eyes roaming over the changes he can see, trying to take them all in.
"I saw Cabeswater on the map," he says instead of responding to the question, a sort of question of his own, even if it doesn't sound like one, "and you've obviously been here a while."
no subject
When Ronan asked about Cabeswater, Kavinsky let it register on his face a little. A disquieted upset that flitted across his eyes, turned that feral, manic grin into more of a grimace. Was that buzzing mire still out there, dragged from the depths of Ronan's memories? Were the barbed vines?
"Come and gone," he admitted.
no subject
What, could hell just not get enough of Kavinsky? (And Ronan, too, maybe.) Is it something about dreamers? He isn't sure he wants to know any more than he wants to examine his feelings about seeing Kavinsky again.
What he does want is to not be sober right now dealing with literally all of this bullshit.
"I need a beer," he decides, "and then I'm gonna' need you to tell me whatever the fuck I need to know." About Kavinsky's stay, about Cabeswater, about.. Ronan himself here, he assumes. He's pretty sure Kavinsky couldn't have dreamed the forest on his own, after all. He hadn't been familiar with it as a place.
no subject
There was something about the idea of catching Ronan Lynch up on a life he had-but-had not led that was infinitely uncomfortable. Kavinsky had gotten used to weird in Hell when he was here last; you had to. There were dopplegangers and demons and all sorts of things going down. But this was a layer of hell he didn't quite know how to reconcile.
He sucked on the back of his teeth like he had a foul taste in his mouth and rolled one shoulder. He scoured his pockets and came up empty on his cigarette case and swore under his breath about it; that was a pain in the ass.
"I'll show you the bar. And I'm missing, like. Six months or something, so. You know, you're gonna have to track down whoever's left after I skipped town for that part." Which would be a whole different shit show, but it wasn't his responsibility to deal with, was it?"
no subject
If Ronan was here before, and was here with K, then.. he's not sure yet, but he doesn't think it was like before, anyway.
"Bar's fine," he says, as if there was any doubt. "Left? Who else was here?" And for how long? And why doesn't he remember? K does, that much is clear, so why not Ronan?
no subject
He turned away from Ronan and headed through the lobby toward the hotel bar. Keep up, Lynch. He'll leave you behind, and you were the one that asked for a drink.
"Everybody," he said, but that was a lie. "Me, Prokopenko and you to start. Noah, Parrish and Sargent. Cheng. Your little brother. Dick-Three, just before I peaced. Regular reunion, my man."
