Summary: Catch-all log for The Good Place event!
The Story:

Welcome to the Good Place! Your character, tragically, has died in their world. They might not remember how (or maybe they do!) but it’s okay either way because conveniently they have earned enough points to go to the Good Place when they die! They’ve earned a house that they have been told is perfectly suited to them (it is probably not, but who are they to question the universe?!) in an absolutely delightful and quaint little Neighborhood with a frozen yogurt shop on every block. It’s almost irritatingly perfect!

Most importantly though, someone will be living with your character. Someone very, very special - their soulmate, hand-picked from the billions on Earth! Sure, it may not be who (or even what) they expected, but this is what they’ve earned from the good life they’ve lived in your world. They deserve this! They really, truly do.

Everyone is welcome to add details to what exactly is in the Neighborhood - everyone has different standards for what constitutes an "objectively good but still mediocre" neighborhood experience, after all!

Need more information, or maybe a soulmate? Head on over to the plot post! Prose or [Action Brackets] are both welcome!

[He bends down as instructed and then he sighs and at least attempts to whisper back.]

Wouldn't be the first time. Should've known this whole "soulmate" thing was a scam.

[powerofmabel]

It's better when you get a dumb one. [She lowers her voice even further, as if TRYING TO COAX STAN INTO A LOWER VOLUME.] Roombanzo's great and all, but he's not a thinker.

[charlastan]

[WHAT?? SHE WANTS HIM TO CONTINUE TALKING AT THE SAME VOLUME??? SURE THING!]

Ha! Sounds like you hit the Robot Jackpot, Pumpkin!

[powerofmabel]

[She hisses a bit, and then looks down at her Roomba and flashes a thumb's up, like YES, SHE HAS, HASN'T SHE!! oh god, stan.] We should have this talk inside the frozen yogurt place. [She begins shoving Stan towards the door, tossing a comment over her shoulder to the robutts] You boys keep chatting. Grunkle Stan and I have got some organic person business to take care of. You do not even wanna know.

[charlastan]

[Will E. seems to be okay with this. He just strums his animatronic guitar with GREAT ANIMATRONIC ENTHUSIASM and that's that.

Stan meanwhile is very grumbly about getting shoved around! But he will absolutely use the opportunity to get himself more frozen yogurt.]

So, what's the organic person business all about?

[powerofmabel]

[She sighs and flops against the counter.] I was just trying to throw them off our scent, Grunkle Stan. You gotta be tricky with those gold digging types. That guitar has murder weapon written all over it.

[Wait. She bolts upright.] Crud, we're already dead. Can you double die? Do you just automatically go to the Bad Place if you die in the Good Place??

[charlastan]

Maybe it's like dares, and if we triple die it cancels out the double dying and we wind up back here.

[That made absolutely no sense and Stan doesn't give a fork.]

Anyway, your Grunkle Stan knows all about gold-diggers. My ex-wife and I were married a whole six hours before she stole my car!

[Because knowing about them and avoiding them are two entirely differently things.]

[powerofmabel]

[That makes total sense to Mabel, because it's just silly enough to be brilliant. A+ logic Stan.

But not that last part. Mabel narrows her eyes and purses her lips in judgment.] And you know all the tricks to prevent it from happening again, riiiight?

[charlastan]

[Stan laughs, not at all uncomfortably!]

Sweetie, this is your Grunkle Stan we're talking about here. Like I'd ever fall for someone else's con, no matter how much of a sweet talking robot soulmate they are!
