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.]

Whoa, what?!

[The prinny looks rather shocked at this.]

Celestia, dood?! You mean, you came from there, dood?

[melnics]

You bet! ( fist pumps for you, prinnydood. she'd have been scolded by the others for being so liberal, but finally something is making sense! ) Do you know the way?

[lazyvassals]

Well, sorrrrta, dood. It's pretty long trip from here though, dood. You'd usually take the dimensional gate to get to the entrance, but that's kinda broken right now, dood.

Besides, I hear there's a giant gate that can only be opened by angels, dood! So, unless you happen to be an angel, you aren't going to even be able to get in, dood.

[There's a lack of angel wings going on here, so the prinny is a bit confused.]

[melnics]

Angels? ( hm! maybe the penguin is referring to rem, the greater craymel of light -- she considers it, tapping her chin with her index finger )

Maybe there is someone Meredy can ask. Is there someone that knows an angel here?

[lazyvassals]

Well, I guess you could ask Flonne, dood. She used to be an angel, but she's fallen now, dood.
