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.]

Thinking the same damn thing.

That being said... he didn't look too panicked for someone who just randomly dropped into the Netherworld. Another demon hunter then?]
I don't usually mind going down there to train... but how the hell did I end up in a castle filled with kids?
no subject
[There may be a touch of bitterness at the thought of fate playing with him again.]
They make look young, but any one of the demons or monsters in this hall might be much stronger than they appear. That said, they'll probably leave you alone if you don't pick a fight with them. But you said you train in the Netherworld, huh?
no subject
[Now, usually that means maneuvering through hoards of demons waiting to rip you to pieces... but yeah... he's right about that: those demons don't look like they're about to attack at all. And while she's pretty sure they are stronger than they appear... they still do look like kids... how hard can they be?]
Of course I train here, I'm a demon hunter! It's the best place for a workout.
... well "here". This place is kinda new...
no subject
[...Of course, he seemed to forget to check his own status screen upon arrival, because that's still his title. He's not quite used to being back in his home universe just yet.]
I'm not even sure which Netherworld this one is. Not the one I'm used to, that's for sure. But it's close, I can tell. Even got the same kind of lazy Prinnies running around.
no subject
Huh? What do you mean 'which one'? Isn't the Netherworld just... the Netherworld?
... and now that you mention it, what the heck are those things anyway?
[She points said Prinny]
no subject
No, there's more than one. I don't exactly know how many of them there are, but I've heard that there are thousands of Overlords out there, so you have to to figure there's a Netherworld for each one, right?
[He remembers well the storm of Overlords invading Veldime to try to fight Zenon, after all. Lot of them died, but it wasn't really his concern.]
Those are Prinnies. They're usually used as servants in the Netherworld, paying off a debt they accrued while they were still alive.
1/2
... this is GREAT!
This means there's no end to just how much training she'll be able to do. She's bound to become the Maiden of Light if she defeats them all, right?!]
Haha! Wait until I go home and tell everyone about this! They'll be so surprised and--
2/2
... wait... if there's that many Netherworlds...
They're not all trying to take over the world, right?
[We're doomed...]
no subject
I doubt it. It also depends on which world you're talking about. But I don't think most demons could be assed to bother with conquering human worlds. Too much work, or not fun enough.
Besides, if your world managed to earn the ire of all Netherworlds, it had to have done something really stupid.
no subject
[Well... okay, most the demons in "her" Netherworld were stuck in their own war... but still, she still had to deal with a bunch of them trying to kill all humans...]
I didn't realize "fun" had to be part of it...
no subject
...Or maybe whatever Netherworld you're used to is just full of jerks who need a good ass-whooping. That might be a solid possibility too.
no subject
So maybe mine is just full of jerks.
[I mean, some of them had reasons... not that she approved of them, but the rest? Beats her.]
no subject
[He smiles, in spite of things. That was more of what he was used to: beating down bad guys for doing bad things. He could get behind that.]
My name's Adell, by the way. Good to meet you.
no subject
[She intended it to make it sound as happy and victorious as she could, but there was some sadness in her tone, not that she really realized it, and anyway, this wasn't very important.]
Oh right! I'm Priere, from the Church of the Holy Maiden. Nice to meet you too.
[Hey, guess being randomly teleported to the Netherworld isn't all that bad.]
