An Announcement [Backdated to March 13th]
[Later in the day, once everyone has had time to determine they aren't in Kansas anymore and can't get back there, they might find themselves approached by prinnies. The little plush creatures will simply say that 'The Prince wants you in the throne room, dood' before wandering off again.
If they follow these instructions, they'll find Laharl standing before his throne with his arms folded. Once enough people appear to have gathered, he speaks.]
For those of you who haven't already barged into my throne room today, I am Overlord Laharl. This is my castle, and you're all intruders here.
But considering it was unintentional, I'm willing to allow you to stay here until the Dimensional Gate is fixed, under certain conditions. Either you can make yourselves useful as my vassals, or you can pay rent. Those are your options.
Anyone who doesn't agree to them will be made to see reason.

U-um, excuse me!
What sort of tasks would the first option involve, and...and how much would it cost for the second?
no subject
As for rent... [Laharl proceeds to throw out a number which, for anyone familiar with the currency, is clearly at least 10x too high to be reasonable.]
1/2
2/2
I guess I should start looking to see what kind of work needs to be done... [There should be something that she'd be able to help out with. ...right?
In fact, when it comes to looking for work, wouldn't it be best to ask the person in charge of everything?] Would there be any need for a mage here? I—I know all four of the elements, fire, wind, ice, and star...
no subject
She clears her throat to gain Laharl's attention.]

Unfortunately, it didn't look like he was going to have much choice. He'd rather keep his pride and just pay money than take orders from a brat like him. He knew the guy wasn't all bad after his experiences with him and knew well enough that him even making this offer was his idea of charity.
But he still didn't like it. Still didn't want to be here. He wanted to be back in Holt. He was so close to home he could taste it.
...But out of curiosity, he had to ask the question, even if it wasn't the path he wanted to take.]
So what kind of jobs do you have around here, if that's the way you want to go? Are we talking menial labor or are we talking actual, legitimate positions that actually have meaning?
no subject
There is, of course, no recognition on Laharl's face when he turns his attention to Adell.]
That depends. What kind of legitimate, meaningful position do you think you're qualified for?
no subject
Still, he's going to be a wise-ass.]
I'd say Main Character, but I'm guessing it's just not my turn yet. Maybe later for that one.
no subject
Over my dead body.
The best you could hope for is maybe to be a side character, but you have to earn it. I'm not handing that out to just anyone.

I can't be a vassal to a demon! What the heck?!
[She'll be tossed out of church for sure!]
no subject
Though I've had human vassals before.
no subject
I'll never be the Maiden of Light this way!
... ...
HOW MUCH FOR RENT?!?
no subject
[Who then became a fallen angel, so yeah, this is probably not the path to becoming a "Maiden of Light" or whatever, but why should he clarify for her?
He will, reluctantly, offer the now-reasonable rent rate though, since she asked.]

I have some battle magic. I can help defend this place, if need be. That's really all I know....
no subject
no subject
...alright. Are there some spare rooms around here for us to use?
[She can't imagine the hospital wanting to put her up forever, especially since she's not needing much more than rest right now.]
no subject
[Oh, right. These people crashing in his place will have to actually sleep somewhere and stuff.]
Yeah, sure. Just take a look around. If you find someplace really dusty, probably no one's using it.

no subject
I'll accept valuables, since somehow I doubt you've got the money.
no subject
[Even if she did, she wouldn't give them to him. She frowns gently, her eyebrows furrowing.]
...I suppose I could offer you protection.
no subject
Protection? What kind of an offer is that?

Excuse YOU, since you clearly have no idea who you're talking to - I'm the Overlord of MY OWN Netherworld, and whether or not I'm in someone else's I'm NO ONE'S vassal! Why should I have to pay anything either?!
Besides, what's a kid like you doing in charge? I have a hard time believing YOU'RE the real ruler!
no subject
And if you really do rule another Netherworld, then you should understand I'm not running a charity here. If you won't work for me and you can't pay, then get out.
no subject
You look and sound like a child. What was I supposed to think?!
And I would GLADLY get out and go back home, except in case you forgot, I CAN'T! Do I also need to remind you who's fault that is? Because it isn't MINE!
[He points a sharp metal finger at Laharl.]
Oh, I understand making commoners pay or serve you, but if you really ARE the ruler here then you should be honored to host a fellow Overlord!
no subject
And I meant out of my castle. Why would I want to host another Overlord? If you were anywhere near my level, that'd make us enemies, not allies with visiting rights.
