Welcome to the Netherworld!
[It is difficult to define what a normal afternoon is by Netherworld standards. In the dark, torch-lit halls of the Overlord's Castle, penguin-suited prinnies totter about pretending to do work, while most other vassals make no effort at all to pretend. No fights have broken out yet, but it is questionable how long that will last with the Overlord being awake. It is just the sort of calm that comes before something unexpected happens, or someone makes it happen out of boredom.
And that is precisely when the first stranger comes through the swirling vortex of the Dimensional Gate.
It doesn't seem so unusual at first, because people use that gate on a daily basis. But more people start to show up, people who aren't demons. The Gatekeeper herself has no idea where they've come from, or how they've found their way to the Netherworld.
Unfortunately, neither do the unexpected guests.]

+ Getting information from the castle's residents
Still, one of them has to know something, right?]

I insist you send me back to my realm at once! All you need do is look at me to know I don't belong here!

Odd... I don't remember deciding to visit here. [And there sure are a few humans in this mix. He hums to himself and after a moment's deliberation, starts toward the Gatekeeper]
Mademoiselle, is there any particular reason that I was summoned here? Ah, perhaps the young Overlord has finally awoken to the reality of moi's wonderful insight?

This is because just a moment ago he was asleep, and subsequently, was and still is holding a slightly strange-looking stuffed rabbit. However, suddenly hitting the floor does succeed in waking him up at least.]
Aghggh-- bwuh...?
What's the meaning of this?! Who DARES interrupt my--
[The ghost cuts himself off when he actually pays attention to what's in front of him and realizes...
WHO ARE ALL YOU PEOPLE AND WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY HOUSE
Wait.
Is this even my house??]
...
[He glances around, noticing this doesn't look like his throne room where he was sleeping, or his castle. Okay, maybe it does a little, but not really.
Well. This is odd.
Not going to figure anything out standing around confused though, so despite not recognizing anyone here, he might as well ask somebody for a hint.
It takes him a minute to decide who seems most approachable.]

Hijinks ensue
...and then he steps through the door, only to find himself in what looks suspiciously like a reception area. The effect is so jarring that he doesn't immediately notice he's in a room full of demons; probably a good thing, since his policy up to this point has been 'kill them before they can kill me'.
Stunned, he turns to the gatekeeper (not noticing her ears).]
...I... how... where... huh? What in the world's going on here?!

Without wasting another moment, he walks directly to the Gatekeeper and flashes her a winning smile. (Although he looks ragged as heck with straggly unkept hair and his prison clothes still on, winning combination there for a pickup line.)]
Pardon me, young lady. Could I trouble a beautiful flower for a little time?

They would have been easy prey for her... if it wasn't for the fact that the rest of her team wasn't behind her. You know, now that she thought about it... did she even enter a gate? Maybe she accidentally fell in one, wouldn't have been the first time...
She rather stood in the middle of the floor, dumbstruck. Was she supposed to wait for them? Destroy the demons? Did these demons look like kids... yes, yes they did. What the heck was going on?]
Urgh... I knew I should have slept in today...

[Perhaps unrelatedly, for those who can sense it, there is a dark and terrible power in the air as well, as if so much mana power had been compressed into one place, the very air is about to start dripping energy. Like a vast, horrible presence looming over the castle, something dire has come to the Netherworld. But where is it?]
[Maybe the answers are in the book!]

...but they will never suspect they have brought about their own undoing! To bring a free god like me to this place! The very nerve!

near the gardens
So many strangers today... The dimensional gate truly must be broken.
[he doesn't seem too terribly worried about it, though. It'd probably do the people of the Netherworld good to meet some new people from other worlds anyway.]

making noise
From the look of things, she's generally keeping out of the way, and in fact it appears that she's trying to actively avoid people. Which is a bit difficult when every other step is accompanied by a loud SHKRRRRRRRRR that is almost certainly drawing more and more attention.]

+ Exploring the castle
If you find your way outside, you may notice a couple things. One, the castle is smack in the middle of a lake of lava, and two, that sure is Earth hanging in the sky like a giant moon.]
no subject
At least, until she came across that one unfortunate individual who thought it would be funny to call her a "cute little kitty."]
What did you just call me?
(ooc: Open to anyone! You could be the person who just called to her, you could be a bystander with some popcorn, or you could try to defuse the situation before she does anything stupid! Which will it be?)
yeah he'd definitely call her that

Baiba... what happened to Inferia? Did it change this much? Meredy doesn't recognize this place at all... ( she can be found outside, gazing up at that rock. that... didn't really look like celestia hanging there, either... )

+ The Throne Room
It won't be difficult to find the throne room. Some demons might helpfully provide directions even if they suspect you to be an assassin. It's an impressive throne room, with lava and powerful-looking demons watching as you approach the throne.
And sitting on that throne is... what looks to be a twelve-year-old boy with blue hair playing video games. Seriously?]

[That sure is a book being held by a standard female fighter minion. It sure does have a face and is sure yelling at Laharl.]
Which Netherworld is this!?
