Hysteric Kingdom

[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!)

[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.]
