[There's a pile of boxes today on the Rosenqueen counter, along with balloons, streamers, party horns and confetti! Also a banner that reads:

RosenQueen Co. Presents:

The Hellberry

Today RosenQueen is launching a brand new product, dood!

The Hellberry!

We're also going to be having a special promotion just for all you newcomers to the Netherworld, dood! Anyone who's come through the dimensional gate recently gets one FREE, dood! That's a 49999HL value for free, dood! Isn't that incredible offer, dood?

Be sure to come get yours while supplies last, dood!

(OOC: Come get your network, folks. :D OOC post is here! Anyone not in the castle can handwave that they got a delivery from a prinny, that, yes, tracked them down to get their free phone to them. The RosenQueen prinny will talk if addressed, but feel free to also use this post to mingle!)

[Anyone checking the bulletin board today will find a note written by a particular ice queen who they've more than likely encountered at some point in their life. Needless to say, their impression of her so far may not fall in a positive light, but it's not that she's necessarily concerned with others' perception of her. In any case, the note reads:]

It's not like I particularly care for any of you, but I'll be hosting a concert sometime next week. Lamenting our circumstances won't do any of us any good, so we need something to try and lighten the mood. It'll be at the Plains of Grief. Feel free to come if you feel like it.

[Though she'd never admit it verbally, she'd definitely appreciate it if you all came.]

[Laharl originally came to the library with noble, Overlordly intentions. The evidence of that is in the few large volumes taken off of his father's shelves, lying on the floor with their pages opened to things about other Netherworlds. He may even have read a few of those pages.

But then he got sidetracked, because they were incredibly boring.

He can now be found sitting in another corner of the library reading comic books, a box of snacks clearly labeled "Etna" sitting open at his side.]

[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.

[Troubadour stands by the message board, staring at any passerby with what he believes is discretion but is actually hopelessly obvious]

[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.]
