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.]

[Betrayus lowers his head as palm meets face. This conversation is getting him nowhere fast.]

Then is there anyone else who might actually know what's going on?

[He's probably just been wasting his time with this decomposing dolt who's brain must have already rotted away. Maybe he'll have better luck with somebody different...
If only he could find another ghost.]

[lazyvassals]

[That's how things roll here. Zommie shrugs.]

Eh, not likely.

[betraitorous]

[He spares no expense on being remarkably deadpan.]

Wow, I'm so much more informed. You should get an award for your outstanding helpfulness.

[Yeah, it's time to float away and go find someone with more intelligence than a brick wall.
Good luck with that, Bets.]

[lazyvassals]

I hope not! I gotta reputation to uphold!

[Oh well. Back to not caring.]
