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.]

In the place I usually end up in, yeah. Pretty much non stop as soon as they spot you. But here...

[Yeah, even you can see that no one is giving a single damn about us. On the other hand, she can't help but sigh at his next comment.]

You were about to drop a few minutes ago. I'm pretty sure you're not really up to face anything.

[bound_skyward]

Ah... [Kain shakes his head, as if he can simply deny it and that would be enough to make him regain his full strength. It's not, though.] Even so, I'll do what I must, no matter my condition. I've just come from a war... [He gasps a little, wavering on his feet a little.] ...and there was no choice but to keep fighting no matter what. I can surely do the same here...

[wannabesaint]

Urgh... why do guys always have to act like this?

Look, fine. I don't know how strong you are, but maybe you would normally be able to kick their butts. But right now? I could probably knock you out by poking you too hard! How the heck are you planning on taking them all out if they decide to attack us? You'd be killed for real this time!

Just... let's find a place to rest and you'll be back up in no time and ready to do some damage.

[bound_skyward]

[Kain still has to wonder what would even happen here, in this world. If he died again, what would become of him? It all feels so strange, almost not real.]

Still... I can't rest for very long, if there's any threat of danger...

[He sounds reluctant but at least he's sort of agreeing to it.]

[wannabesaint]

[Priere honestly wouldn't know, but would highly suggest you do not try to find out!]

Don't worry, don't worry, if anything tries to attack anyone, I'll just punch them out. Now... we just have to find a place to actually rest...

[They ARE right near the hospital... not that it looks very inviting. Still... no demon HAS attacked yet and the lady in front looks like she's more after our cash then our lives, so... Priere looks at Kain; your call on this one.]

[bound_skyward]

[Kain looks to be pretty reluctant, surely he doesn't need that much care... or does he...? Because as he starts to move away, he again half-collapses. Yeah, ok, maybe that will be needed after all, much as he'd rather not.]

As long as they understand, I cannot stay long...

[wannabesaint]

[Not only do they understand, but the nurse pretty much agrees with the idea. In fact, she seems to agree so much that she's the one who makes the first move and heads towards him, ready to drag him to a free bed.]

Something tells me they won't mind at all...

You okay with this?

[bound_skyward]

Do I have much choice?

[Especially when he's being forcefully dragged along like this. Kain can't resist too well, as worn out as he is. It was a harsh battle, after all.]

[wannabesaint]

I-I guess not...

[Wow, forceful. Remind her not to get hurt here.]

Well... good luck. If she tries anything, just scream! I'll be right there!

[bound_skyward]

I'll keep that in mind...

[Kain scowls at the forceful treatment, but he can't do much else against it. Sigh. As long as he doesn't stay long. He's going to do all he can to avoid that.]

...it may be necessary before long.
