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.]

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?!

...oh.

[he rubs his chin thoughtfully]

So, if I am to understand you, you...don't want my help?

[Since it looks like he's getting the idea now, she starts calming back down just a little bit. Still clearly very, very annoyed, though.]

Now you're catching on. It only took you twelve minutes and thirty-two seconds. [That's. Um. Awfully specific there.]

Because first impressions go a long way, bucko. [Yeah, Troubie, you kind of uh. Annoyed the shit out of her there. And she still feels like you were mocking her, even if you didn't mean to.]
musicalplum: (eh!?)

Are you saying you would rather stay cursed than accept help from a well-meaning, handsome, mysterious stranger?

[Bunny's just going to let her expression speak for itself.

She still wants to be rid of the cat-curse, but like hell is she going to accept help from a mysterious stranger who came within moments of having a flail shoved into his mouth like a ball gag.]
musicalplum: (SHOCK)

This curse is more serious than I even imagined! It has so poorly affected your judgement!

[personal profile] something_or_other 2014-03-14 07:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[She feels like she's getting nowhere here.]

My judgment is fine, you moron! Seriously! Who in their right mind would accept help from some idiot they don't even know?!
musicalplum: (and that's why MY hair looks so good)

[personal profile] musicalplum 2014-03-14 07:51 pm (UTC)(link)
I would! Surely such an offer would open the door to a lasting friendship!

[personal profile] something_or_other 2014-03-14 08:02 pm (UTC)(link)
With a guy that's been poking fun at my ears? Are you kidding me?!
musicalplum: (...eh?)

[personal profile] musicalplum 2014-03-14 09:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Poking fun? When did I do that?

[personal profile] something_or_other 2014-03-15 06:48 am (UTC)(link)
[By some miracle or another, that question makes her pause for a moment. Did he actually not realize that what he'd been saying was bothering her?

...

Nah, he's probably just playing dumb.]


Don't pull that crap with me!
musicalplum: (:|)

But I do not understand! I would never make fun of you, especially for something you cannot help.
