♕ first;

[You find yourself in a castle: a large, impressive one, with a moat made out of lava. The inside is just as impressive, if not for the occasional penguin-like creature running through the place.

And one of them is being kicked straight out of one room in particular.]

And don't come back until you get me that pudding from Etna, got it?!

[The penguin replies with a stammered-out "Y-Yes, sir, dood!" and runs off. If you choose to enter the room, you'll find a young boy with two hair antenna sticking up lounging around, watching something while eating popcorn. Whatever it is isn't important, though.

It's the boy, who'll only register your presence after a minute or so. And, even then, it seems as if he's mistaken you for the penguin. And who wouldn't, when their attention is focused on the TV?]

Didn't I tell you not to come back until you got me that pudding?!

[The popcorn is his, Ami (though really it was one of the Prinnies' first, he wonders who gave that one popcorn) and you do not steal his popcorn.

He yanks it away from her, glaring daggers at her. Insolent human...]

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

How rude! Shouldn't you be hospitable to a guest?

[tiniestoverlord.livejournal.com]

Why should I? I'm a demon, and demons aren't hospitable to guests, especially if they're human.

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

If you can't see what's in front of you, I can't help you.

[Really, Laharl. Calling her human.]

[tiniestoverlord.livejournal.com]

[She's definitely not an angel, or a demon. No pointy ears, wings or a tail.]

That's good. I don't need your help.

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

At least you have that much pride.

[Goddess, Devil, one of the two. Devil these days; damned, certainly.]

[tiniestoverlord.livejournal.com]

[He'll just ignore her (and the Prinny screaming "help me dood!!" outside, Etna probably got to him) from here on out and focus his attention on whatever he's watching.]

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

[A glance towards the noise - and then she ignores it, too.]

What is this? [She jerks her chin towards the television.]

[tiniestoverlord.livejournal.com]

It's a TV, duh.

[There's the news, of course--some guy named Axel and Pleinair (though really it's more the Axel guy) talking about some random concert to be held somewhere.]

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

What show? [Idiot.]

[tiniestoverlord.livejournal.com]

The news. [He's got Captain Gordon as his vassal, what did you expect? Though Jennifer is rather smart...]

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

You keep informed. [Now why would some little imp like this be keeping tabs on the human world?

She doesn't really bother with the question too long; even Nephrite had gotten interested when it suited him. Smart when he wanted to be.]

[tiniestoverlord.livejournal.com]

Of course.

[He's more keeping tabs on what happens in other Netherworlds, but he does check in on the human world every now and then.]

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

[She watches for awhile in silence before finally descending to ask the obvious question.]

Who are you?

[tiniestoverlord.livejournal.com]

I am the great Overlord Laharl, of course! The strongest demon in the Netherworld, too.

[Though you wouldn't know it by looking at him...]

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

[Oh. Just a youma. A strong youma - if he's even telling the truth - but just a youma.]

I didn't know this world's youma could speak.

[tiniestoverlord.livejournal.com]

What the hell's a youma?! I'm a demon! And of course I can talk!

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

[She's going to enjoy this.]

Demons. Our servants.

[tiniestoverlord.livejournal.com]

...You're kidding me. There's no way!

[He's used to it being the other way around.]

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

Comfort yourself with your world if you want.

But this is definitely the truth in mine.

[tiniestoverlord.livejournal.com]

Ha! As if!

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

[A shoulder shrugs before she returns her focus to the newscast. She doesn't need to convince him.]

[tiniestoverlord.livejournal.com]

[He just glares at her before returning his attention to the news, which now seems to be focused on a sale on puddings in the Sea of Gehenna. Oh, well.]

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

Don't be so upset! You can still be the highest servant.

[No, she really couldn't help herself.]

[tiniestoverlord.livejournal.com]

Whoever heard of an Overlord being a vassal to a human?!
