{1st Spell: Introduction, just after the Ghost Attack resolves}

[have_hat_will_travel]

[The woman walking around the castle, occasionally stopping to punch a Ghost a few times before it tries to put a ton of status effects on her, looks very, very annoyed.]

Okay, so, collect situation. I'm out of my Queen's telepathy range, so this isn't one of the Nine Hells. Too much oddity in the environment to be the material plane.

No summoner, so this isn't a Call... But it's been ten minutes, so it's probably not a Summon, either.

[Okay, so she sounds kinda crazy. To say the least.]

... I should probably just ask someone more about what's going on here...

[Polite warning: She may try and use charm magic. I'll ask OOC'ly. Suffice it to say, she's only just arrived and has absolutely no clue as to her predicament.]

[Oh? Who is this? Another person that's come through the gate?]

Hello...?

[have_hat_will_travel]

[Okay, Pidonus, get your emotions together, seem nice, get in Diplomacy Check mode.]

Erm, hi.

[Seeming meek comes way too easily...]

[ainodatenshi]

Did you come through the Dimensional Gate too?

[have_hat_will_travel]

... Possibly? I have no clue where I am, at least.

[ainodatenshi]

Ah, well... I guess you must have. I'm so sorry. There's something wrong with it...

Oh! I can tell you where you are. This is the Netherworld! You're in the Overlord's Castle.

[have_hat_will_travel]

... 'Netherworld'.

Which of the Circles of the Nine Hells is that? Or is it someplace in the Abyss? Of course a demon would screw summoning up.

[ainodatenshi]

....Eh?

No... It's, uh, none of those? It's the Netherworld.

[have_hat_will_travel]

... That doesn't fit. Great Wheels almost always have a Nine Hells and an Infinite Layers.

You're saying this is neither? How do I know this isn't some demon trick?

[ainodatenshi]

Um... yes, it's neither of those.

And it isn't a demon trick because I'm not a demon! I'm an angel! --Ah well, a fallen angel, but still!

[have_hat_will_travel]

... Wait, aren't fallen angels usually Devils?

[ainodatenshi]

...Eh....?

[Totally lost her now.]

[have_hat_will_travel]

Yeah, I mean, that's literally how devils started to be, was fallen angels.

Of course, most of them kinda... Changed looks a lot in the process... Not like how you look.

[ainodatenshi]

...You must come from a very different world.



--Ah, you mean... demons, right?

[have_hat_will_travel]

Of course not! The demons are the thing devils fight.

[ainodatenshi]

[And now she is completely lost again.]

O-oh... well... that's not how it is here.

[have_hat_will_travel]

... What.

Then what stops the hordes of the Abyss from going forth and crushing humanity?

[ainodatenshi]

The what? ...Where? H-huh?

[have_hat_will_travel]

... This is some kind of trick isn't it?!

[ainodatenshi]

I already said it isn't. I'm really sorry, but I don't know what you're talking about.

[have_hat_will_travel]

I don't believe you. No way this place is that different.

[OOC: Pidonus is considering trying using one of her abilities to try and compel Flonne to tell the truth for Pidonus' questions. If you don't want her doing this OOC'ly, please say so and she'll do something different instead.]

[ainodatenshi]

Why couldn't it be?

((ooc: Lol I guess I don't mind if she wants to try? She'd be very disappointed though.))

[have_hat_will_travel]

This is clearly a trap, and I'd like you to just explain what's really going on here for me, okay?

[Of course she will be! But that doesn't mean she's not gonna try and compel Flonne to give an honest answer with her magic. Because she refuses to believe Flonne's telling the truth. She's kinda less than trusting like that.

... Should Flonne fail to resist, Pidonus is going to be very sad when she realizes Flonne's saying the same thing.]

[ainodatenshi]

[Given Flonne's gullible and and not exactly high in mental fortitude etc. Yeah. Okay. But...]

The dimensional gate is broken or something, and people from other places are ending up here, in the Netherworld.

1/3

[have_hat_will_travel]

[... That's precisely in line with what she's been saying.]

[have_hat_will_travel]

[This can't be. This 'Netherworld' place makes no sense in the cosmologies Pidonus has known for her entire existence, and her life before that! No way in hell...]
