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.]

...you only came in here to bother me about prinnies?
I've never heard of a "sanctioned Prinny Instructor," and I've got more important things to worry about than prinnies being lazy. That's their natural state.
no subject
But of course. As a sanctioned Prinny Instructor from Hades, seeing to how Prinnies do their jobs is my job. One I take very seriously. And as an expert on the matter, it may be their natural state... but it is a state that must be mercilessly beaten out of their pitiful excuses for skulls.
So if you have not heard of such a thing, then I can only assume Etna is their Master. Then your Prinnies' behavior is not her fault, clearly. Whoever taught these pathetic dregs truly did not see to their duties.
Nevertheless, something must be done about it.
no subject
That's just as well. If you're going to be stuck here for the time being, then I'll need you to make yourself useful.
no subject
[At least this one is more than happy to do some actual work around here, right?]
...And yes, I believe I may well be trapped here for an indeterminate amount of time. At least it should give me plenty of time to bring these bums into proper order.
Soon you shall have a more loyal and more effective squad of vassals. I will see to that personally.
no subject
Good. Then we have an understanding...
...what was your name again?
[He guesses he should know his new vassal's name.]
no subject
My name is Valvatorez. It's a pleasure. I have heard from your vassals that you are Overlord Laharl, correct?
no subject
[If he heard it from them, does that mean his vassals are actually starting to use his correct title? That's some good news for today.]
It's good to know at least one of you lot has some manners.
