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.]

[Once again, she's not the only one feeling that way.
'Cause hey, a different Netherworld! That makes sense.
... Okay not exactly, but it's enough explanation for Betrayus at the moment.
He clears his throat as he suddenly sounds a lot more confident, with a more proud posture (and now hiding the rabbit behind his back).]

Well then, in that case, you're correct!
Lord Betrayus, glorious and exalted ruler of the-- um, another Netherworld!
The pleasure's all yours, I'm sure~

[Blink... she hadn't really noticed the bunny till he went and hid it. But RIGHT. Introductions!]

I'm very pleased to meet you, Betrayus! My name's Flonne! I'm a fallen angel.

[betraitorous]

[He... may or may not know what that is, depending on if angels are a thing where he's from. But whether or not he does have any idea, he's going to act like it.]

... I see. You look more like the witches in my world, so that's why I made a mistake.
Though maybe the fact you're a lot less ugly should've tipped me off.

[ainodatenshi]

Is that so...? [Flonne is... clearly wondering what kind of world it is he's from.]

Ah, well, most everyone here are demons. Except some of those who came through the dimensional gate, like you did. A lot of them appear to be human.

[betraitorous]

[It's a very, very silly world, Flonne.
The fact alone his name is Betrayus probably tells you how seriously you should take where he's from.]

Hyoo... man?

I'm not following.

whoops, how'd I missfire that...lol

[ainodatenshi]

[...Well, that doesn't really tip her off all that much. Not when got people around her with names like Zommie, the zombie and Ghoss the ghost and Manty the manticore... etc.]

Human! They're kind of like me, but without the pointy ears or wings! Or a tail.

no worries!

[betraitorous]

... Oh, right, of course! Duly noted!

[So there's species with torsos other than witches? WHO'D HAVE THOUGHT.]

[ainodatenshi]

[How much you need to learn~]

Well, if you have any other questions, I'll be happy to try to answer them.
