>cherubs go to hell
>find out about this hotel that's supposed to be some way back in heaven
>they go there
>sht happens
pretty cool setup
-
>Cherubs chase the imps into the Pride ring
>They can’t get back
>Everyone wants to kill them, so they can’t just wait and follow the imps back up
>Every sinner in hell is jumping at the opportunity to skin an actual angel
>Happy Hotel employs the Cherubs in exchange for their protection
>Shenanigans ensue
-
>The Cherubs mostly serve as therapists and keepers for the hotel residents.

>Keetie takes the role of a traditional therapist, offering an impartial ear to the woes and struggles of sinners, with various nudges towards self reflection and, thus, self improvement.
>A practiced professional, but can sometimes come off as insincere.
>Very stressed, but refuses most outlets; one way or another, she’s constantly on the verge of breaking down.


>Collin mostly helps with chores around the hotel, but his kind, almost passive nature lets him get close to the softer sinners pretty easily.
>Serves as a backup for those who don’t trust Keetie’s professionalism.
>Far more empathetic and sincere, but also easily intimidated.
>Will occasionally cave into sin for the sake of some moral dilemma.


>Cletus plays overseer and keeper. He alternates between welcoming folks into the hotel and dragging patients out of from whatever fights they‘ve gotten into. But only after they’ve gotten hurt.
>Far more blunt with his advice than the other cherubs.
>Tired and resentful, hell is quickly hardening him. He hides it as best he can but, occasionally, his cheery little mask cracks.

>Lusting after cletus

Idea:
>Hell has an an intricate rail network
>since sinners are likely to be shooting each other on the road or in the air, and most waterways are either too cluttered by garbage and pollution, or are patrolled by Leviathan and his kin, the rails are all that the Hellborne are left with to transport and traverse
>most trains are still heavily armed and armored, and they tend to run mixed consists of passenger and freight
>motive power really depends on what part of Hell you're in, with more rural or industrial lines still being operated with steam traction, whilst intercity and commuter routes are electrified, with diesel power being used in the vast in-between
>one of the reasons why they use the rails is because it's a mode of transport that would require the least amount of magic in Hell, apart from keeping portals open between the various rings
>each ring has it's own fleet of engines and rolling stock, and it's own distinct elements which separate it from the other rings, but their signaling system and set of rules and regulations are all the same
>despite the mixed passenger and freight trains, railway operations are still split down into sectors - different types of goods trains are mixed and matched with different types of passenger trains to maximize efficiency
>efficiency here being marked by the ability to deliver the most all in one go, as trains are often besieged by bandits, and, on occasion, get caught in the crossfire of feuding warlords
>since they're mostly used by the hellborne, the rail system is effectively nationalized, not as one whole system (though, there is a central administration and control center), but rather, as "state-owned" entities within the individual rings
>the service is the most shoddiest in the Pride ring, where the trains and track are subject to the wanton destruction and petty vandalism of sinners, who scarcely use the service
>conversely, it's the best in the Greed ring, which also has the strongest unions of rail workers
-
I like this but for the life of me I can't think of anything worthwhile to contribute to it
---------------
Fk this is good.

>Collin sinning to try and comfort hurting folks like Husk and Angel Dust, then beating himself up about it.
>Cletus and Vaggie venting to each other about how stupid sinners are after another day of wrangling.
>Keetie catching herself seriously debating taking a drag of the cigs she confiscated.
-
>Al half jokingly offers to make a meal out of Deerie for them.
>Cletus, entirely straight faced, says he’ll consider it.
>No one’s really sure how to respond to that.
-
How do you think the hotel cherubs respond to guests trying to hit on them?
-
>Cleetus: pretends it didn't happen
>Collin: awkwardly thanks them for it, but doesn't reciprocate
>Keenie: ostensibly the same as Cleetus, secretly offers her "services" in private
-
Awkward definitely seems right, Collin seems like the sort to get flustered really easily, specially during his early days when he’s not used to all the flirting. Hell, it probably wouldn’t be all that hard to seriously woo him.
-
I’d say Keetie probably only gets into offering herself up real late into her time in hell. Takes a good while for an old fashioned gal like her to really fall. For a good while I’d say she’d probably just firmly shoot down any advances.

She might get a little flustered on particularly down days, maybe even take a bit of interest, but she’d never admit to any of that. Not while sober anyways.
