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.]

[Having come from a world with things that are fairly bizarre in their own right, it was easy enough to see the castle and its residents as relatively normal. Sort of. As such, Bunny was content to simply let everyone else be while she wandered about trying to see what she could figure out on her own.

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?)
musicalplum: (and that's why MY hair looks so good)

yeah he'd definitely call her that

[personal profile] musicalplum 2014-03-13 07:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[Troubadour blinks and then smiles his most charming smile]

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]

[personal profile] something_or_other 2014-03-13 07:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[That was definitely an eyebrow twitch just now. She's trying not to let the whole cat ears thing get to her and is willing to at least try to let it slide this time around, but there are no guarantees. Especially not if he calls her that again.]

How should I know? I just got dumped here too!
musicalplum: (oh so cool)

[personal profile] musicalplum 2014-03-13 07:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah! Those scoundrels would even trap an innocent child here!? Their evil truly knows no bounds!

[he reaches down and pats her head gently] Fear not, my lady! I shall protect you from the monsters!

[personal profile] something_or_other 2014-03-13 08:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[Child? Maybe. Having time-manipulation powers tends to muddy that up a little bit, though. Innocent? Uh...not really.

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.]
musicalplum: (...eh?)

[personal profile] musicalplum 2014-03-13 08:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[he continues to pat her head as he talks] Indeed, now that I know the severity of the situation, we must consider the best course of action! Demons and monsters lurking everywhere and no way home! Whoever did this is surely the darkest fiend in history!

[as he talks, his fingers end up curiously rubbing her bunny ears, and he gets distracted as he tugs them gently] ...hm.

[personal profile] something_or_other 2014-03-13 09:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[Gentle or not, he's still tugging at her ears, which honestly isn't really that comfortable for her. For one thing, he's tugging at her ears. For another, this is totally a violation of personal space.]

Do you mind? That actually kind of hurts a little.
musicalplum: (uuuuh)

[personal profile] musicalplum 2014-03-14 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
Eh? What does? [he blinks, looking down at his hands again, before bring them swiftly away with a start]

Wait, those are your ears? What about your cute little feline ones?

[personal profile] something_or_other 2014-03-14 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
[Somehow, she knew that was coming.

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?]
musicalplum: (dokis)

[personal profile] musicalplum 2014-03-14 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
[he blinks a few times, and then it seems like sparkles might have just appeared around his head]

...how cute!

[personal profile] something_or_other 2014-03-14 04:45 am (UTC)(link)
[Brace for 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.]
musicalplum: (where are your pants)

[personal profile] musicalplum 2014-03-14 04:22 pm (UTC)(link)
A curse? How unfortunate? And do you know how to break this adorable curse?

[personal profile] something_or_other 2014-03-14 04:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[Must not cause a scene. Must not cause a scene. Must not cause a scene.

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.]
musicalplum: (bishounen mode: on)

[personal profile] musicalplum 2014-03-14 05:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmm, I see. That such an innocent young flower has been saddled with such a ridiculous fate is nearly tragic!

[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!

[personal profile] something_or_other 2014-03-14 06:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[Normally she would at least briefly consider offers to actually help her with it, but Troubadour's really accomplishing little more than pissing her off with...is that mockery? She's pretty sure that's mockery. Either that or he just doesn't know when or even how to shut up, which may arguably be worse.

So she jerks her arm away with barely even a moment's notice.]


Back off, I'm not asking for your help!
musicalplum: (my talent overwhelms me)

[personal profile] musicalplum 2014-03-14 06:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[his impenetrable wall of idiocy allows him to carry on, despite her tearing her hand away]

Ah, but you need not ask! Such is the generosity of my heart!

[personal profile] something_or_other 2014-03-14 07:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[So he doesn't know how to shut up. Wonderful. At this rate she's likely to try gagging him with the most painful thing she can think of.]

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?
musicalplum: (!?)

[personal profile] musicalplum 2014-03-14 07:12 pm (UTC)(link)
They? Is it some evil fiend that has cursed you, then? You know who it is? Why didn't you say so earlier?

[he grabs for her hand again]

Come, we shall make them take this curse off you at once!

[personal profile] something_or_other 2014-03-14 07:17 pm (UTC)(link)
The ears, dammit! [Because she's calling it now: the only thing he would even do is keep calling them cute and adorable. Which maybe they are. And she doesn't care about that.

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?!

Something he's going to regret, I'm sure.

(Oh hey, that's a familiar voice from behind Bunny. She doesn't seem to be interested in getting in the way, though.)

[personal profile] something_or_other 2014-03-13 07:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[She's not at all surprised when she hears Chelsea, and turns around to face toward her, momentarily distracted from the source of her agitation.]

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?!
ladderalbeatdown: (My best weapon is a ladder)

[personal profile] ladderalbeatdown 2014-03-13 08:25 pm (UTC)(link)
(Perhaps if Chelsea cared more, she might give the other person warning to not be so stupid, but she doesn't. Besides, it's better to make your own mistakes and learn from them.

Provided he survives, at least.
)

Maybe he knows the answer. I bet you can beat that out of him, too.

[personal profile] something_or_other 2014-03-13 09:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[Chelsea. Chelsea please. That's actually a good idea, but you're already having too much fun here just by encouraging her.

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."]
ladderalbeatdown: (The flavor of the fairy queen)

[personal profile] ladderalbeatdown 2014-03-15 07:44 pm (UTC)(link)
The Netherworld, huh...that explains all of the demons and the dark aura around the castle.

(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?

[personal profile] something_or_other 2014-03-16 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
["How should I know— Whoa, WHOA!" Unsurprisingly, Bunny's started to advance on the poor guy. "I'm not the guy to ask about that, you'll want to go take it up with Fiona!"]

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.]
