Day 99 Addendum

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

--Rift--
♕ On the night of day 98, a rift opened to an abandoned Heaven
♕ Speculation that this was caused by the first recent "Heaven's Blessing" graduation

--Heaven--
♕ First Gate: Open. Closed when someone permanently altered by Hell walked through. Re-opened by breaking a glyph in the floor. Adjacent to the Abyss
♕ Second Gate: Required strength to open
♕ Courtyard: Marble floors and lined with trees. Plates, golden fruit, and wooden swords left behind. Most objects too bright to look at. They dim when touched by us. Felt as if inhabitants left quickly but like it had been that way for a long long time.
♕ Battlements: Outside wall besieged with bullet holes. Black mist at the bottom. Same glyphs that warded off people at the first gate. Small adjacent room with a painting of the sky and many vats of (holy) water. Meadows and paths in the distance. Possible this was just an outpost on the edge. Fancy domed room with stars
♕ Living Quarters: Vertigo hallway that seemed to stretch on forever. Like the courtyard, only trinkets of past lives remained. One room had a flower shaped dim mark - something from outside Heaven got in? One room had a repelling ward which convinced trespassers to turn away. Could be overcome with brute force, resulting in seeing a bright light and hearing a foreign language that sounded like metal on metal (Mehniel's room)

--Abyss / Hell --
♕ Multihell - infinite but not all the same
♕ Each Prince has their own section of Hell: Asmodeus's is the section with the casino. Exael lives in Pythia's section (Tokyo-Delphi). Lilith has appeared in Belial's (wires and monsters)
♕ Only Asmodeus and Pythia's domain are friendly to humans
♕ Colder down the further you got. Felt like losing everything and being furious about it. Wanted to fight whatever caused the loss. (Note: Probably entering Asmodeus's realm)
♕ Couldn't see Heaven above once in the city below

--Abyss / Asmodeus's Realm --
♕ Abilities work
♕ Casino, bar, restaurants
♕ People on the street but none of them appeared to be human: odd colored blood
♕ Thing exist in a pristine state and a badly damaged state at the same time. The dead seem fine one moment and fatally injured the next
♕ Chalk outline bodies. Faint shadows of wings. Alarms go off if you touch the chalk outlines
♕ Residents don't like Pythia's people. Have refugees from Pythia's domain: "Better than having my reality rewritten just because there's some new propaganda her Lady's having them put out on the news. Life's harder here but at least I know it's mine."
♕ When asked for directions: 'shouldn't you know?', 'had the face of talent', 'always acting like you can do what you want'
♕ When set off an alarm: 'how we thought we were big shots with a big princedom.', 'how would would pay for trying to touch what belongs to Vengeance'
♕ Interrogated prisoner: "bunch of liars and a devastator", didn't know which back we wanted, in the smallest of the hells, "knew liars didn't have their heads on straight", "Am I supposed to buy you're damned?" and "What would you be doing that far abroad and still solid", "Filming is off limits here without permits, you stupid fucks. That ain't our business here"
♕ Misc: Townsperson had power to split someone's tongue; cursed gun that probably wouldn't end up pointing the way you wanted. Be careful touching weapons in the city
♕ Overheard conversations: arguing about Sartre, calling one of the guys a traitor to the whole paradigm for taking "Being and Nothingness" so seriously
♕ Needing papers to get to Pythia's domain by train; find a forger and take the Judecca line
♕ Pythia = Lady of Delphi
♕ Prisoner was able to summon Asmodeus. Snap of his fingers, and Asmodeus transported people to his parlor
♕ Asmodeus can freeze people. Offered a healing drink (unknown if there were any other properties to it)
♕ Asmodeus did not have visibility into the abandoned Heaven. Only saw the rift and the power blip

--Angels--
♕ Mehniel - appeared after the rift closed. Destruction class Angel
♕ Surprised that they were the only one left. Must have slept through everything. Others presumed dead or fled
♕ Can look into people's hearts. We apparently all reek of hell (can sniff us out), though are not permanently tainted. At least not all of us
♕ Stated the only way a person could become the property of Hell unwillingly was if their home world belonged to Hell
♕ Brought those that were still in heaven back to Tokyo-F
♕ "Hope begets faith, never forget that"
♕ Rapahel - healing angel
♕ Angels don't have fingerprints

--Cleansing permanent effects of Hell--
♕ Method 1: Submerge for 40 days and 40 nights in holy water
♕ Method 2: Exorcism
♕ Question: Does anyone we fucking know have the capability to bless water?
♕ If Hell loses or the permanently afflicted lose the will to fight, they will suffer the final death - struck down to burn for 1,000 years.

--Heaven--
♕ Multi-heaven
♕ To get to the other local Heavens, you need a navigator class Angel. Something to do with the second Gate.
♕ Heaven would never kidnap souls, or condone the kidnapping of souls.
♕ Heaven has shrunk and may still be shrinking now.
♕ Knew nothing of this Production. It seems their companions left them behind when they fled - or were killed.
♕ That Heaven only opens for ascended souls; referred to to the rift as "Heaven opening for us."
♕ Heaven would never condone Heaven's Blessing graduation option - "the demons' fake Heaven business"; would require them to play the demons' game in the first place.

--Fall of Heaven--
♕ God is gone (betrayed the rest of Heaven)
♕ Only 8 doors (Mehniel included) remain in the living quarters
♕ Note: Matches the 8-9 Princes of Hell
♕ The others left without Mehniel

--Seven Rules of Heaven--
♕ One. Live to serve the lord
♕ Two. Fight against hell, like, hardcore.
♕ Three. Don't turn your back to a demon or compromise with one.
♕ Four. Honor your brothers and sisters in battle.
♕ Five. Save every soul you can.
♕ Six. Don't suffer a demon to live.
♕ Seven. love with everything you got.

--Misc--
♕ Those who have been altered by Lilith or permanently marked by Hell are not welcome in Heaven
♕ Magic glyphs that prevent the aforementioned from moving or thinking about anything but how they should return to the Abyss
♕ "What sins are being reflected? I have already received judgment. I will bear the marks. Thus I am not worthy to pass through the gates. I have to go back to the abyss where I came. I should not, could not be where we were."
