TEST DRIVE MEME #34
Arrival
"Judgement has come upon you. God has deemed you worthy of Hell. But don't worry, it can still be undone," comes a soothing voice that echoes all around you. The voice promises comfort, hope even.
It may seem like a nightmare at first, despite all of that. Full of hellfire nipping at your skin and a sensation of being pulled down no matter how much you struggle or cry for help. Wretched, unseen hands pull at you, grip tight at your body, tighten on your throat, skeletal fingers grab at your face, slide in your mouth and jab at your eyes as they struggle for purchase. It feels like for a moment, they may snap your neck as they tug and pull. The more you resist, the more phantom hands are added to your struggling body.
It feels like they could tear you apart if you let them. The only thing to do is to let go and stop fighting.
And so you do.
Darkness and nothingness consumes you for a second, And it seems to linger for a long time. There is nothing at all. It must be lonely. But it won’t be forever.
Initially, everyone opens their eyes to a long, dark corridor made of stone. They find themselves in what appears to be a long queue with other sinners, palm bloody.
Characters find their bodies feel heavy and stiff, bruised with odd hand prints here and there that they received during their journey down below. A massive headache throbs behind their temples. They are urged forward to take a numbered ticket and wait their turn in the long line. As they're ushered forward through the corridor, their first stop will be to see Lilith, standing outside her office.
The woman in a smart suit and a friendly smile steps forward to greet sinners one by one. "I'm sorry for your rough landing. We've never gotten it quite as smooth as it was in the past. Please, let me see your hand--"
Once she has the sinner's hand, there's the warm, almost electric touch of magic that soothes away the aches and pains, heals the wound left behind on each sinner's palm. Lilith looks satisfied with her work and gives a nod. "There, all better. Please take your care package and continue on until you reach the stairs."
On their way out, sinners receive their 'package', a contract detailing all sins committed. If they look at the list closely enough they'll notice it's written with their blood. That explains the palm wound then. It's an old piece of parchment despite the freshly written letters upon it. They will also receive a slightly more modern smart phone. Think early generation Android and a pamphlet made by other sinners during their stay here with useful tips.
After that, sinners will be ushered on to a set of stairs where a guard waits. "Welcome to Penance," the demon says gruffly before motioning them on without an ounce of courtesy. "Don't hold up the line."
They seem to go on and wind forever, but eventually, they come upon what appears to be a lobby of a hotel. Once there, they will notice several shops and other areas around the front desk.
The demon at the front desk looks rather bored, but when sinners approach? He seems to snap to attention to offer whatever help they might need of him. He will at least direct to food or rooms to rest their wary bodies, or recommend sights to see around the hotel.
Stand Your Ground "Rise and shine, darling!" Lucifer's voice booms within everyone's minds one fine morning, and sinners will almost feel how infectious his good mood is. And what does he not have to feel good about? They've rescued sinners from Mammon's latest antics and now they can hopefully move on with their lives, without any further interference. "Those who have been here for a while will know that the annual Carnival is well on its way. This time, I would like to assure all of you that I have taken every utmost precaution to ensure it's a good event for everyone from beginning to end!"
"Regardless of what my father would like to see, I would like to reward all of you for standing at my side. All of you havedisplayed astounding bravery and care for your fellow sinners and demons alike. This deserves a reward in my book. So no torture, no pain, no zoos to be forced into... just a bit of fun and games. This time, the clowns have been told to mind their manners!"!
Some of the sinners who have been here since the beginning may feel their stomachs clench in fear at the mere thought of a carnival, but the atmosphere is... happy. Demons are being far kinder than they have been in the past, approaching with kinder requests to help. Some may get a little rough around the edges, may shove or criticize or look like they want to hit, but be patient! Hell is all they really know and those old habits die hard at times! They got the spirit at least...
To show their thanks, they're bringing out cans of Speed Energy again (can you guess the secret ingredient?) that will have sinners absolutely buzzing to help. Decorations need to be placed, rides need to be set, tables for vendors and games. It seems like the beginning of some sort of tunnel of love is being put together by Lilith and the sex demons...
Lucifer is even walking around personally supervising and checking in on sinners with enthusiam and warmth. There may be an air of nervousness about him -- he is technically disobeying God and they still haven't found Emmanuel, but he's putting on a brave face at least!
For those who'd rather opt out of manual labor, some of the succubi have set up lemonade stands. They're offering cups for kisses - and don't worry! They're inviting sinners to join in the fun and take over some of the stands!
There's also some late Spring Cleaning going on around the hotel and guests will find boxes of items left outside to rummage through that may include newer clothes, games, and other sources of entertainment. There may even be the odd weapon or two! Staff will not say no if anyone wants to give them a bit of a and with the cleaning and dusting either... it seems the large spiders have come back in to try to spin their webs and stay. Don't worry! Even though they may rival a chihuahua, these guys tend to be docile and friendly. Be careful you don't accidentally adopt a pet!
Reach Up High WARNINGS: blood, torture
"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 WARNINGS: Potentials for sex, aphrodisiacs, non/dub-con, etc.
Club Penance has decided to don a new theme for the night! The theme is lingerie. The staff now wear more modest lingerie reminiscent of the '50s. Elegant, pretty, tantalizing. Or maybe it's just the aphrodisiacs in the air and food that make one feel that way.
They are also insisting everyone else put on lingerie as well. Don't worry! It's not old fashioned and anything that suites your fancy will be available. Try to skip out? Guests will find it magically appear on them... and possibly not in the theme they'd choose for themselves. If magic fails, the staff or local demons may take it upon themselves to slip it on the poor sinner themselves.
Swinging is an event happening tonight. Put your key from Hotel Penance or Hellburbia into a hat, another sinner draws it out... whoever gets your key will be your lucky partner for the night for any kind of fun! Sinners may find their keys disappearing and appearing in the hat entirely without their knowledge... but staff will be very persistent about follow-through! There will be rooms available for fun in the Club, for those who'd rather not go back to their personal rooms.
Other than that, oddly enough tables have been set up for romantic dinners, private rooms are available for sexual activities (not all of these are vanilla. There are toys and machines and anything else one could want, including costumes or things to suit any fetish). There's also live entertainment in the form of dancing or sexual performances on stages around the club. Volunteers are more than welcome!
For those not partnered up, there's speed dating where demons will lead a prospective partner to your table for a little bit of a chat and a drink. They may not always get your tastes spot on, but hopefully it's entertaining for all involved! if sinners find their drinks seem to have a little extra aphrodisiac added to them, oh well. It was probably an honest mistake.
Those who are attached, either via Casino Styx or through other means may find themselves growing oddly loving or possessive of one another. Jealousy and the urge to claim their partner (even in public) will grow substantially throughout the night. While it may not always result in violence and instead be enthusiastically embraced by both parties, it may also result in the urge to leave marks or claim in darker ways. Collaring their partners, leaving their names, etc. They're yours and don't you want everyone to know that?
Alcohol does flow freely around the club and usual demonic drugs or party drugs are available on demand.
Prompt II 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 if anyone wants to bother serving it, music will be blaring whenever there's electricity, 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.
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.

Lemonade mouth
As seems to be the norm, though, Monika manages to do something a bit more eye-catching. That, and he might as well get some lemonade out of this offer. ]
Still want that date?
no subject
[ Much to her detriment. And to the detriment of others. She's more of a love menace, really. ]
Are you finally interested~?
[ Bonus: this'll probably be a great time to finally learn how to make lemonade! ]
no subject
I've found a source of bullets. Still wanna learn to shoot?
no subject
Do I?! You better believe it! I've got so much stress I need to work off!
[ Eagerly, she circles around him, almost like she's trying to sniff out the scent of these wonderful bullets. It probably has a distinct one she needs to learn to pick up on! ]
I've heard there might be weapons in all those boxes sitting outside. Is that where you found bullets? I bet I could find a gun of my own if I looked hard enough!
[ No one will ever bother her again! ]
no subject
Ah, no. Didn't know about that. We'll see if we can't find one. But ... [ and he crosses his arms, ] what about my lemonade?
[ No lemonade, no date. ]
no subject
You actually want some?
[ Who'd choose that over being destructive?! Pouting, she trudges her way back into the stand. It sure was tempting to steal some of the lemonade from some of the other stands and hand that over... ]
Fiiiine. How do you want it?
[ But how hard can it be to make some, really? Can't she just dump half a lemon and some sugar in a cup of water? ]
no subject
Just regular lemonade's fine. Never had real lemonade.
no subject
[ Really inspiring confidence, there.
Thankfully, the demons were kind enough to give her a recipe, which she manages to dig out from under the cooler of ice near her feet. How it got there, who knows, but all that matters is she has it now! ]
Okay! So first I, er... [ She squints at the sheet. ] Juice some lemons. Right. I can do that. I cooked plenty in Hellburbia!
[ Cooked plenty, sure, but she didn't cook well. Squalo kept the poor Mutou family alive.
She picks up a lemon and the juicer she has, stares at the lemon, stares at the juicer, stares at the lemon...
With a shrug, she pulls over a cutting board and starts hacking away, then does her best to get some juice out of the quarters. ]
Do you ever stop to think about how someone took this totally sour thing [ --she holds up a lemon piece-- ] and randomly stuck it in their mouth and decided it was edible?
no subject
Take it from me, people will always try everything that looks edible. Especially if they're hungry.
no subject
[ Philosophical thoughts on food aside, whoever gets the lemonade Monika eventually churns out would need to be pretty desperate, too. It's cloudy in an unpleasant way, somehow full of lemon chunks, and there's a definite pile of undissolved sugar hidden under the ice. But hey, it's lemonade! Maybe?
With a bright smile, she holds it out. Lucky you, Mordy! ]
One cup of lemon-date, just for you~
[ Get it? Because the lemonade's getting her a date? Ha! She should write that one down. ]
no subject
See, he's never actually had real lemonade, but he's pretty sure it's not meant to look like this. ]
Don't think the lemonade business is for you.
[ But he'll have a sip anyway and--
It's sour. Pretty damn sour. But at least it tastes something, so even though his face scrunches up with it, he has another sip. ]
no subject
[ She followed the recipe to the letter! Sure, she cut the lemons a little funky, and she figured she'd add a bit more sugar for balance, and maybe the amount of lemon juice called for seemed like too little, but she still produced lemonade, didn't she? That has to count for something! ]
No shooting at things for me, then...?
[ And she had so many people she wanted to pretend to kill! ]
no subject
Well, you did make lemonade. Guess we can still do some shooting.
no subject
Heck yes! I get to kill things!
[ She hops up and sets out another handmade sign she'd made--out to lunch, it says--then darts over to him eagerly. ]
Watch my stuff! And text me if anyone comes by wanting a kiss!
[ The nearby demon she's yelled that at just stares blankly. So, perfect! The issue of her absence is taken care of!
Grinning, she turns back to her new best friend. ]
Lead the way, sensei! I'm all! Fired! Up!
[ Prepare for plenty of shooting puns. ]
no subject
Where'd you say that box with weapons was? It's better to learn your own gun.
no subject
[ Everyone in Hell should be running, honestly. ]
There's a bunch of random boxes in front of the hotel! Come on! I'll show you!
[ Eagerly, she leads them on. ]
Maybe you can find some more gun stuff, too! You need stuff other than bullets, right? Maybe a safety strap?
[ Like how you need one for a Wiimote or something. ]
no subject
A safety strap?
[ He shakes his head. ]
Maybe if there's a fancy sight or something.
no subject
As they come upon the boxes and some demons roaming about, digging through them, Monika looks a bit put out. She really thought she was onto something there! ]
Explain a "sight," please.
[ She lets out an "ooh!" once she spots a box that seems to have plenty of scary things sticking out of it. Hopefully the demon perusing it doesn't mind her butting in to join them. ]
And if you see something in here [ --she down points into the box-- ] you think would work really good for me since I'm a beginner, point it out!
no subject
[ It's getting a little crowded around the box, but he'll join in the perusing too. Ever since Pegasus introduced him to a crossbow, he's been interested in maybe getting one for himself. ]
no subject
Oh. Okay.
[ Like, what's wrong with just using your eyes? Eh, who knows. She's not the expert.
After finding a compact pocket knife and sticking that into one of her pockets with no explanation, she comes across a standard handgun. Kind of rusty, unassuming, and whew, heavier than she imagined.
She points it directly at Mordecai, just so he can get a good look! ]
How about this one?
no subject
Whoa, chica, careful where you aim that!
[ If she's never held a gun before, he definitely doesn't want her to just be swinging it around so-- He'll just reach out to snatch it right out of her hand. ]
no subject
Hey!! You can't just take that away from me! I found it first!
[ Monika did nothing wrong! ]
And who says I was aiming it at you? I was showing it to you! I doubt it even has bullets in it!
[ ...Right? Not that it matters! Her finger was barely on the trigger! Therefore, she's going to try snatching it back! ]
no subject
You were aiming the barrel straight at me!
no subject
Then maybe you need to show me how to use it already!
no subject
I will, just gimme a second. Check if there's any bullets in that box.
[ And in the meantime he'll check if this thing seems to work at all. It really needs some TLC, that's for sure. ]
