{1st Spell: Introduction, just after the Ghost Attack resolves}

[have_hat_will_travel]

[The woman walking around the castle, occasionally stopping to punch a Ghost a few times before it tries to put a ton of status effects on her, looks very, very annoyed.]

Okay, so, collect situation. I'm out of my Queen's telepathy range, so this isn't one of the Nine Hells. Too much oddity in the environment to be the material plane.

No summoner, so this isn't a Call... But it's been ten minutes, so it's probably not a Summon, either.

[Okay, so she sounds kinda crazy. To say the least.]

... I should probably just ask someone more about what's going on here...

[Polite warning: She may try and use charm magic. I'll ask OOC'ly. Suffice it to say, she's only just arrived and has absolutely no clue as to her predicament.]

[have_hat_will_travel]

... Uh. Huh.

So. Uh. Now what?

[ainodatenshi]

Ah... well... [Man, she hates to be the one to break the news...]

Laharl decided anyone who arrives who wants to stay here at the castle can either pay rent to stay or can serve as his vassal. Or else you'd have to leave... I'm sorry.

[She looks terribly apologetic about this.]

[have_hat_will_travel]

And who is this Laharl? If I have to talk my way into this...

[ainodatenshi]

Oh! Laharl is the Overlord!

[have_hat_will_travel]

Oh, that makes things easier. Charming and getting influence with local lords...

[BAD IDEA. BAD IDEA. VERY BAD IDEA.]

[ainodatenshi]

[She'd normally have corrected her here how Laharl is the only Overlord, but uh...]

...Charming!?

[have_hat_will_travel]

Do you think I wear this outfit without reason?

It's what a Succubus does, after all~

[Yes, she can totally handle this situation and it won't end in a horrific beatdown!

... No, she can't handle the situation and it definitely would end painfully.]

[ainodatenshi]

Y-you can't do that!

[Flonne does not like this plan of hers, nope.]

[have_hat_will_travel]

Oh? And what's gonna stop me?

[Besides the practicalities like the fact that Laharl would beat the hell out of her for trying that she's steadfastly not acknowledging.]

[ainodatenshi]

[There is that, although that's not what actually is on her mind...]

Me! I WILL!

[have_hat_will_travel]

Oh? And how do you intend to do that?

[Besides befriending via severe beating. Or not.]

[ainodatenshi]

[Flonne pulls out her staff, seemingly out of no where, and holds it up in front of her.]

By whatever means necessary!

I won't let you just come in here and use your--your... feminine wiles on Laharl!

[have_hat_will_travel]

Oh? So you're fine with him throwing young ladies he's accidentally kidnapped out onto the street?

[Crap, weapon's out, that's +5 to will saves against Charm Monster. Her best bet was talking the girl down first, that was certain.]

And, really, do we have to fight?

[ainodatenshi]

W-what? No! But! That's not what this is about.

I don't want to fight, but I'll do it if I have to!

[have_hat_will_travel]

Oh? Then what is it about?

[Keep trying to defuse, keep trying to defuse...]

[ainodatenshi]

A-ah... W-well... [She momentarily looks like a deer in headlights. An embarassed one.]

J-just stay away from him!

[Annnnd... Flonne's gonna go beat a hasty retreat.]

[have_hat_will_travel]

[... Pidonus guessed that that would work. She'd slip around and pursue some more information, though. Seemed appropriate.]
