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.]

Very well! If I have your permission, I will begin rounding up Prinnies for re-education effective immediately!

[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.

[Yesss, vassal get.]

Good. Then we have an understanding...

...what was your name again?

[He guesses he should know his new vassal's name.]

[arcadianvampire]

How rude of me. My apologies.

My name is Valvatorez. It's a pleasure. I have heard from your vassals that you are Overlord Laharl, correct?

[makainoou]

That's right.

[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.
