Judgement

Who is getting judged

The judgement takes place in The Judgement Room of Ice Palace. There are mainly two kinds of people that get judged here: the ones who died, and the ones who committed crimes.

The people who die are brought to the Gates of Hell by Silver Man and Woman. There they are let in, and brought to Glitter God and Satan.

People who commit crimes have to first be captured by the Agents of Secret Agency. Only when they are certain enough that they have the right person they bring them before Glitter God and Satan to be judged.

How are they judged?

Once the person is brought before the Gods, things can go a few different ways. If the person is here because they died, Glitter God and Satan consider different things from how the person died, how much time they still have left of their life and the general way they live their life, their sins and good deeds and the feelings of their loved ones about their death. With all things considered, they decide what to do. The person may be sent back immediately, held in Hell for a while, or even die for real.

With people who come here because they commited a crime, the judgment is similar. Glitter God and Satan consider their crime, the time they have left in their life and all the other circumstances they think to be relevant in the situation. After this, they decide on the punishment, which is usually sending the person in one of the punishing rooms for a time, taking years from their lifespan, or in rare cases ending their life altogether.

Laws and Standards

Details of crimes and punishment in our world may be a bit tricky. There are next to no official laws written and the general rule people have to rely on is the rule of not causing harm to others. This of course is very vague and the rules may be bent and broken arbitrarily. In the end, it all comes down to what Glitter God and Satan decide, and how well you may convince them that they should go easy on you. Since they are gods and they know your soul better than even you do, there isn’t really much you can do other than hope for the best though.

Glitter God is a lot more willing to bend the rules for his fairies, and Satan will stand up for his priests as well, and it’s a good idea to give offerings to either of them in any case. You have a better chance at a lighter sentence if they know you fear and respect them appropriately. Don’t try to take advantage of this either, because then you may end up with an even worse punishment. It’s also good to keep in mind that Glitter God and Satan only judge the worst crimes, as far as the lesser crimes go you may get away with a minor punishment, or no punishment at all. But if you keep doing small things, then again you may at some point end up before gods to be judged more harshly. All in all, breaking laws is a tricky business so just don’t do it.

Punishments

There are very different levels of punishments one can face, and they entirely depend on how you got yourself into this situation. Many of them consist of being sent to one of the punishing rooms in Ice Palace.

If you just died and not by your own fault, you’re very likely to just get sent back, as long as you have years left in your lifespan. If you did die by your own fault, the punishments will still be light, you may have to face some time in a plaid chamber before being sent back, but it won’t be worse than that.

If you actually committed a crime, then you will have to face some real punishment. This may be having years taken off of your lifespan, but this is only the light punishment. You will very likely get sent to one of the punishment rooms for a time - the room and length of that time depends on the severity of your crime. Punishing rooms vary from the easy plaid chamber, to black chamber and go all the way to noise chamber. No one exactly knows what the noise chamber is, but Satan claims it is the most absolutely horrifying place you can find yourself in.

For really severe crimes, or if your time on our Flat Earth has run out, then you will die. You’ll get taken to hell, where you’ll be transformed back into a blank character you once came from.

What about lesser crimes?

There is a mildly complicated hierarchy of judgment, and as already implied, judgment by Glitter God and Satan is the most severe one. Before you get up there, you have to mess up on many other levels below that.

It all usually starts on a personal level. If you get into a dispute with someone else, first, you have to deal with the problem between yourselves. If that doesn’t work, the leader of the family, (or more leaders if there are people from different families involved) will be the one to help you resolve your issues. If you did something worse than what your family leader can resolve, you’ll have to seek help from your local fairy or satan’s priest. If your crime is still too complex or serious, you will be taken by the Agents of Secret Agency. They will consider your crime and try to resolve it themselves first, before sending you to be judged by Glitter God and Satan. In any case, you are well advised to resolve your problems before it gets so far. Glitter God and Satan will not at all be happy with anyone causing trouble in their world.
