TEST DRIVE MEME #13
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, 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 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. They may be pushy, 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.
Welcome to My Nightmare Familiar whispers are starting among the demons of Hell yet again! The big carnival is happening soon and it's going to be even bigger than before. Apparently the clowns are out, but special guests are in!
The names Bellas Mammon, and Verinne float around excitedly. Something about the angel is spat about with less enthusiasm from time to time. If the demons are pressed for additional information they'll just say that if the carnival guests are pleased, Hell is in for a grand expansion.
If asked how the carnival guests are to be pleased the demons will simply laugh and tell sinners not to worry. So, new denizen of Hell, guess what! Even with such little information to go on, you get to help the demons get everything ready for the upcoming event. Exciting!
Prompt I: We Built This City WARNINGS: mentions of violence and drugs
Within the gates of our lovely Penance community a large portion of the area is currently in the process of being cleared away. Demons will be grabbing unsuspecting sinners and dragging them into the process without a care of whether they want to help or not. Sinners will work clearing charred debris, constructing stands, cleaning up dilapidated buildings, stringing lights and other decorations, and more.
Curiously, the only things that seem to be off-limits are rides and games, just like the last time. Hands off, buddy. Those are a surprise.
Unfortunately for all the guests involved, it seems like the demons are very serious about their role as supervisor. Cracking the whip isn't just a figure of speech is what we’re saying. If they catch anyone slacking off they will be punished accordingly. A swift hit, a hard shove, a good lashing with the whip for those who are particularly naughty. They may even just crack it if they think a sinner isn't working as fast or as hard as they could.
Well, now you know how serious they're taking this. After all, there's so much work to be done and such little time.
That said, the demons aren't entirely heartless. Just before a sinner collapses from exhaustion or dehydration, they'll be allowed to go treat themselves to some sandwiches and water. There's also an energy drink available simply called Speed Bull.
Knowing Hell, the 'healthy vitamins and minerals' contained in it are probably just code for actual speed. Ah, well, at least it keeps you going. Might want to be careful though. Drinking too many will lead you to, well, die (again). Might not be permanent, but isn’t fun or productive!
Those sinners who are especially resistant or otherwise naughty while constructing booths and other carnival necessities will find themselves put on porta potty duty. Arguably the worst duty of all, and they just might find themselves compelled to do so even if they hate it.
Other areas the guests will be able to help with include the tunnel of love, pens for a petting zoo, and the fun house, but they may not want to gaze into the mirrors too long...
Prompt II: The Maze of Mirrors WARNINGS: mentions of mental health, addiction, violence, and sex
Those lucky enough to get a glimpse at the carnival’s fun house will notice an incomplete room full of mirrors. There’s no demons around cracking whips at the moment and there’s something about it that just feels like it’s calling to you. It’s clearly unfinished and they likely need some help, right? Might as well investigate.
If guests choose to enter this room, they will soon discover it's far larger than it seemed at first glance. Stranger yet, the room is a maze that seems to shift and change with every corner you turn. Didn’t you just enter from that direction? Well, looks like it’s a dead end now. Guess you’ll have to find another way out.
The longer someone stays trapped in this maze of mirrors the more they start to feel different. Sinners begin to change mentally and emotionally into their darkest nature. All the secret parts of themselves that they try to hide from everyone come rushing to the surface and this can also be actual secrets themselves!
Do you struggle with anger? Depression? Been holding yourself together by a thread for too long? Actually afraid of everything? Recovered addict? Jealous of that bitch Stacey? Itching to just murder someone? Maybe you’re a bit of a nymphomaniac or a compulsive liar. Perhaps you’ve been holding back on saying what’s really on your mind to some people or maybe you have a deep secret that’s itching to get out and you don’t care who hears it... like that one time you left someone to die, or when cheated on your significant other with their sibling.
Well good sinner, now feels like a great time to clear the air! Let people know who you really are. There might be someone else stuck in there with you who you can kill, or fuck, or yell all the things you’ve wanted to say to them (or just say in general) but haven’t. If not? Good thing there’s a network in Hell, and the reception seems to be excellent today.
This maddening desire to reveal secrets and become that which is often hidden grows stronger the longer a person remains in the maze of mirrors.
There are two ways someone can be brought back to their more normal selves: either by the acceptance and forgiveness from another person resulting in immediate relief, or by finally finding a way out. Although it may linger a few hours after exit until finally all returns to normal.
Something in the Air Tonight
Prompt I: Something In The Air WARNINGS: mentions of body horror transformations
After everyone's fun time spent in the mental asylum earlier in the month, it looks as though the monster business isn’t quite done and over with. Perhaps sinners missed taking care of a small scratch or maybe the taint has just spread some other way, but sinners (old and new alike) may find themselves beginning to change, physically.
It may start out simple enough. An ache or a pain that could be blamed on a long day of construction or sleeping on the lumpy, uncomfortable beds, but it will soon progress. Fingernails may fall out as fingers turn to claws, legs may start melting together until a sinner is left with something that looks decidedly snake-like. It may feel like one's body is attempting to tear itself apart only to leave them with slimy tentacles.
Eventually, affected sinners might start to even think differently. Whether their physical mutations are big or small, are specific to one animal or several, or are the variety of horrific unidentified monsters from someone’s worst nightmare, the affected may begin to lose their higher state of consciousness for something more primal and animalistic.
Don't worry, Lucifer will reassure you all that this is only a temporary state of being! They’re working on getting everyone back to normal as we speak, so in the meantime just… try to enjoy it. It’s not all that bad, is it?
Prompt II: They Did The Monster Smash (nsfw) WARNINGS: continued mentions of body horror
While under this transformation, some sinners may feel an innate desire for a night of debauchery. Whatever their monstrous state is, they find themselves wandering into the sex portion of the night club. While the mutations may be as small as claws and teeth, those experiencing it will also find themselves with an insatiable need to breed.
As the night goes on, people will find themselves more than just physically affected and begin displaying the following characteristics:
Alpha Traditionally strong and dominant types. They are protective and extremely jealous once they’ve found a mate.
It is not uncommon for Alpha’s to fight over their chosen Omega with other Alphas.
When next to an omega in heat, they may enter into a rut state where their main concern will be claiming and mating with their chosen partner.
Ruts will send alphas into an extreme frenzy and cause them to be very aggressive.
They will be overwhelmed with the desire to dominate and have sex.
When an Alpha is close to climax, their genitals will swell and knot or entrap their partner in order to further ensure breeding. This swelling locks two people together for up to thirty minutes. During this period, it is not possible to pull apart from one another and may result in several rounds of intercourse. Keep in mind, however, that the more sex you engage in the longer it will take for the swelling to ease.
Omega Traditionally submissive types who aim to please. They are physically inferior to alphas and have an innate urge to be claimed and possessed.
When in heat, omegas experience fevers that can be dangerous if allowed to rise. The only cure for this is an orgasm.
Heats may last up to three days. During this time period, omegas will be insatiable. So much so it might become painful the longer they don’t mate.
They will be drawn towards the strongest alpha. Omegas put off a scent that will attract mates, particularly during heat, that often encourages alphas to fight for the right to breed with them among other alphas.
Bites to the neck may calm a feisty omega, but keep in mind that this may also cause a mating bond with them.
Omega’s during heat often become extremely self-lubricated.
Both Alpha and Omega may experience intense lasting orgasms with excessive amounts of cum to further ensure breeding. If an Omega cannot find a suitable mate they will find themselves incapable of satiation. Nothing is enough until a mate is found and even then, heat might hit them again soon after climax.
There’s another category, the Beta. These are those who aren’t really affected either way. Some of these patrons are still experiencing physical mutations but don’t seem to have the same heat and desire to breed. Others might not even be physically changed at all.
This can make things a little bit awkward, though. Especially when even the succubi and incubi are affected along with other demonic staff and guests. They may be eagerly dragging people, staff and sinners alike, off for a rough breeding session.
Of course, because it’s a sex club there’s plenty of other things to do. As always, no guest is safe from the potential of being dragged on stage for a demo or two. There are plenty of rooms with various themes for your delight including all sorts of toys and fucking machines. Anything you could imagine, really!
More information on what to find in the sex club here.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The mods recognize that abo is considered a slur against aboriginal peoples in Australia. It is important to us that we recognize this and clarify that such a term outside of alpha/beta/omega context is harmful and uncool. Stay groovy, and have fun!
Wildcard Not looking for debauchery or looking for a different kind? That’s alright! The club itself has plenty of other options such as a separate side explicitly for dancing. Drink up, maybe do a few lines, and dance the night away. There’s also a spa, a pool, a library, and all sorts of other areas for your character to explore now that they’re in hell.
You can find more information on the various locations here

Gimme dat tail
And she would have but she'd noticed he looked...different. More on edge than the last time she'd seen him which is saying something but then he started touching his butt a whole lot and she sipped idly at a drink that had been refilled more than once but she'd lost count. Trying to figure out what the hell he was doing seemed more interesting than counting.
Then he disappeared for a bit and REAPPEARED with something---
Spewing her small sip of alcohol, she blinked at the new tail that trailed behind him.
She wasn't sure if it was weird, adorable, or just plain funny because of how cranky he looked because of it. The horns or whatever seemed standard. She should have enjoyed those but it was the TAIL...
Fuu was a sneaky sneak. And she was decently small.
And somehow managed to make it to the bar where Squalo was working for a quick peek.
Awwwww....it was so cute....
Apparently she still had her drink in hand when she made her way around the bar and knelt down to brush a finger over the fin of the tail. ]
How cute is this little guy~?
oh no
[ Unfortunately, Fuu's reign as Boss is apparently over, but at least he must be feeling grateful enough for that rescue to not try, like, stabbing her where she stands or whatever. Instead she just gets some screaming. ]
Who the hell're you calling little?!!
😱
HEY! Handsome. Knock it off. I was paying you a compliment.
[ Snickering softly, she smiles and tries to peek around at the tail again. ]
If I’d known all that ass scratching earlier was gonna lead to that little guy I would have paid a little more attention.
[ She stops to take a sip of her drink and blinks up at him almost innocently but it fails cause she keeps wanting to laugh for no reason at all.
Save her. She is a smol and she spends too much time with dudes. ]
Are you doing better? I was worried about you after the hospital thing...
] Easily distracted, she tries to reach up and poke a horn, too. ]
Are these things permanent? Cause I don’t know if I can handle the levels of hot that these are adding this already—- [ Insert vague wave at his person. ] pretty package.
no subject
[ Squalo has his good hand mid-gesture, about to continue going off at her, but stops to double-take. She's calling him "Handsome". Which is correct, but somehow surprisingly few people around Hell seem to be giving him the time of day he deserves, so it's definitely nice to hear. ]
[ Fine. He can give her a chance. ]
[ The tail slowly curls up to let her see it, though it cautiously stays just out of reach. ]
I didn't know either. [ His face is still a bit scrunched up with disgust but at least he's not yelling anymore. ] And no idea. Maybe? It's been a while since I got here.
[ And he sure did a lot of sinning. Honestly, he's surprised he hasn't started transforming into a demon way earlier, though he still has some hope this is not permanent. The tail's just a nuisance and the horns are messing up his beautiful face and hair. It's at least nice to hear someone else thinks he's still hot. ]
...I'm fine. [ He sounds a little annoyed that she deemed him in need of worrying. ]
no subject
The tail curls up again and her eyes brighten a touch before she hesitantly reaches out again to feel it. The fin is sharp, and she uses two fingers to hold it up a little higher. ]
It's too bad you didn't have this thing when you were in the looney. You probably could have used it. It's sharp.
[ But, she does let go of it after a moment. Not wanting to push her luck or make him too uncomfortable. Because believe it or not she doesn't actually mind him. As loud and bitey as he is. She's pretty used to it.
She also doesn't make any move to get out from behind the bar.
Instead favoring looking around and being a slightly wobbly squirrel creature instead. Plus, the view is better back here.
She does risk invading his space a little, though. ]
By the way...if there's ever trouble again...is there someone here you want me to grab for you?
no subject
[ He bares his normal teeth at her. ]
So are those. It doesn't help much with giant monsters.
[ the horns could've also been useful to gore someone, and they're actually pretty hard. just like his head. ]
[ ...he could possibly tie a knife to his tail and use it as a weapon, though? ]
[ Brb doing just that. ]
[ He finishes wrapping the duct tape and gives Fuu a Look as if she'd just said something weird. Oh right. He did spend a lot of time around her bitching that nobody was coming to get him, didn't he? ]
[ But then... he'd been mad at first, but once he had the chance to talk to Xanxus, he realized that he would have hated him showing up there. Making him feel like a damsel... and worst of all, putting himself in danger. ]
[ And he's probably made Xanxus feel like next time something like this happens, he has to come. What if something horrible happens? His heart sinks a little. No, he mustn't make this any worse than he already did. ]
...No.
[ He's not looking at her. ]
There's nobody.
no subject
And she's definitely arching a brow and making a face that's probably weirder than intended thanks to whatever is in her glass but she knows not to approach the tail again. ]
Huh. Well, that's one way to do it.
[ His avoidance however causes her to tip her head and quietly move back around to the proper side of the bar and perches on a stool. ]
Not even someone for a worse case scenario? You know...like...on the verge of death?
[ She sips and watches him, then makes a little gesture. ]
I promise I won't do it unless it's absolutely necessary. But it's always smart to have some sort of life line. Mine just happens to be attached to an idiot.
no subject
...
[ If he was dying? He'd probably want Xanxus to be there, yes. But what if the danger hadn't passed? What the hell is he supposed to do? ]
[ Instead, he gives Fuu a pitying expression. ]
For real? That's your lifeline?
[ That being Mugen, of course. ]
