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.]

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
Cute little kitty! I was hoping you'd be able to tell me how to leave.
[since panic isn't doing him any favors, he's decided talking to the cute, seemingly non-dangerous girl might help]
no subject
How should I know? I just got dumped here too!
no subject
[he reaches down and pats her head gently] Fear not, my lady! I shall protect you from the monsters!
no subject
Headpats? Okay, that's a bit much; Bunny's just going to interpret it as a condescending gesture. A gesture that she responds to with an unimpressed glance and a bit of a flat tone.]
Uh...sure. You do that. [Protection? Psh. She doesn't need that; she's well capable of holding her own if she gets into any fights.]
no subject
[as he talks, his fingers end up curiously rubbing her bunny ears, and he gets distracted as he tugs them gently] ...hm.
no subject
Do you mind? That actually kind of hurts a little.
no subject
Wait, those are your ears? What about your cute little feline ones?
no subject
Even if she'd never wanted them, until she could find a way to get rid of them for good, she had to admit:] Those too.
[So. Four ears. Wrap your head around that, would you?]
no subject
...how cute!
no subject
cute(?)impact.]The cat ears are from a curse, dammit! Who cares if it's cute when it's something like that?!
[And it was all because she'd happened to be too close when an actual cat literally exploded. Seriously. It sucks.]
no subject
no subject
Causing a scene.]
Do you have a brain at all? If I did know how, do you think I'd still have these stupid things?! We've been trying to find a way but nothing's worked! ["We" being Bunny herself and recently-crowned Fairy Lord Chelsea Mamanaju.] It's annoying as hell trying to deal with them because they don't do anything and I can't get rid of them, and then someone always has to come along and say something stupid about them! [Like calling them cute. Or asking her what she's supposed to be. Or both.]
no subject
[he kneels before her, taking her hand in both of his] Fear not, bunny girl! I shall find a way to break your cute curse!
no subject
So she jerks her arm away with barely even a moment's notice.]
Back off, I'm not asking for your help!
no subject
Ah, but you need not ask! Such is the generosity of my heart!
no subject
Well, I'm rejecting the offer, then! What the hell would you do anyway, compliment them until they got fed up with it and disappeared?
no subject
[he grabs for her hand again]
Come, we shall make them take this curse off you at once!
no subject
She pulls back again, this time before he can make contact.] And "back off" means back off, or do I need to make you cut it out?!

(Oh hey, that's a familiar voice from behind Bunny. She doesn't seem to be interested in getting in the way, though.)
no subject
At least you know that. [From experience, even.] But what the hell is going on here? I know I didn't somehow go and spit us into another timeline or anything. [Considering that Chelsea can tell when Bunny's using her powers, she would have noticed that if it were the case. It's not.
And then the individual who had called to Bunny before calls out again, already tired of being ignored. Knowing how much of a touchy subject it is, Chelsea could probably count down to the exact moment where she turns back around and reacts.
Three...
Two...
One...]
Stop calling me that! Or do I need to beat it out of your vocabulary?!
no subject
Provided he survives, at least.)
Maybe he knows the answer. I bet you can beat that out of him, too.
no subject
That poor fool's having too much fun as well, by the way; he's started repeating the word "kitty" in an incredibly childish mocking tone, either unaware of or completely ignoring Bunny's looking angrier and angrier with each repetition.
Until he takes a spiked ball to the face with a very audible smack. Only a smack, though, and not a crack, showing that, as surprising as it might be, Bunny is capable of holding back. Besides, that guy needs his face mostly intact so he can actually talk.]
So how about you cut the kitty crap and just tell us what's going on and where we are, okay?
["You're in the Netherworld, duh. As for what happened, I dunno, it looks like the Dimensional Gate broke or something? Just please don't hit me with that thing again, ki—" He shrinks back a bit at that glare. Or the sight of the Spike Hammer. Possibly both. "—miss."]
no subject
(Chelsea rubs her chin in thought.)
I'm sure it's a nice place and all, but we have things to do back home. How do we fix the gate?
no subject
As if we're gonna know anybody by name around here. Why don't you just point us to her before you lose your teeth?
[Following the request exactly and doing nothing more than that, he points off in the gatekeeper's general direction. Which is relatively-crowded thanks to additional arrivals milling around the place.
So helpful.]
