Welcome to the Netherworld!

[lazyvassals]

[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.]

[Terra rubs her eyes and props up her pillow so she can sit up some.]

It's not that bad. I'm more tired than anything else. I had been fighting for a long time before I ended up here.

[Though at the moment, she's not sure she looks or feels like much of a warrior, on either side. She glances to her sword, propped up nearby. ]

[teabending]

That is a shame. Everyone deserves some rest.

[Certainly she doesn't look like a soldier in the strictest sense of the word, but then benders can come in all shapes and sizes.]

I apologize for disrupting yours, young lady.

[narsheprincess]

[She shakes her heard.]

You're not, really. To be honest, I was too busy thinking over everything to sleep.

You came through the Gate, too, didn't you?

[teabending]

I suppose I did.

[He chuckles lightly and scratches the back of his head sheepishly.]

Somehow it managed to break me out of prison.

[...a little earlier than he planned.]

[narsheprincess]

Prison?!?

[Her eyes widen, surprised he's being so forthright about it.]

...what did you do?
