[The first thing you might hear in this dream is a cry of "DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!" as there's an explosion, a sign that Laharl is pissed again and that you should really approach with caution--]

WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DIDN'T GET THAT SUPER RARE PUDDING?!

[...Well, at least some things don't change, even if about a few hundred years pass by and your appearance changes into something like this. He still has that sweet tooth of his, and although he has matured, today is one of the days when Etna's ordered those delicious puddings from the Sea of Gehenna and absolutely refuses to share any with him, so this is justified! Really!

Oh, yeah. After the Prinny's scurried off to get said pudding from Etna, Laharl slumps into his throne, closes his eyes and seems to fall fast asleep. When he senses your presence in the room, though...]

Whaddaya want now?

((OOC: So I'm back! And so are Laharl and Whitlea. Also: this dream takes place roughly a few hundred years after Disgaea 3's post-game. Flonne's become an Archangel (don't ask why, it's a dream), and he and Etna are still in the Netherworld, still lording it over the Prinnies and other demons. Also, he's waaaaaay too over-leveled now.))

wb! and just for the timekip-theme lulz... you get bb!Ami

[Ami's eyes widen. She stays right in the doorway, not quite daring to come in, in the face of Laharl's temper.]

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt.

I am so so sorry, Ami.

[tiniestoverlord.livejournal.com]

[He snaps one eye open, and briefly wonders what's so familiar about this girl.]

Who the hell are you?

don't worry! i sent her knowing what Laharl is like XD

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

[Eek! She made him mad. Not that she's sure how she made him mad, but that's far less important than the simple fact of someone shouting at her. Ami winces visibly.]

I'm Mizuno Ami. [She answers the question somewhat automatically.]

/phew

[tiniestoverlord.livejournal.com]

You're that girl from before?! Since when were you a kid?!

[It isn't anger in his tone this time, it's shock and surprise. Mostly because the Ami he knows is cocky and way too confident for her own good.]

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

[Ami is, quite simply, caught at a loss. At this age, she's never met Laharl. But she can't exactly say she doesn't know him, if he seems to expect her to; it seems really rude. Mama wouldn't like that.]

I'm seven years old. [It's as close to an honest answer as she can give.]

[tiniestoverlord.livejournal.com]

Is that so? Why are you in the Netherworld, then? Shouldn't you be on whatever planet you come from?

[His voice is now calm, if somewhat concerned, for a certain value of "concerned". This is Laharl we're talking about here.]

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

The Netherworld is just in stories. [And Laharl? Totally explained by cosplay.]

[tiniestoverlord.livejournal.com]

I've got news for you: you're in the Netherworld. It's real.

[Oh, wow, rude. Can humans have this awesome a hairstyle?

Ironic, considering this is a dream.]

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

[Well, she certainly seems to be somewhere else.]

How did I get here?

[tiniestoverlord.livejournal.com]

Do I look like I know? It's probably the Dimension Guide's fault.

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

The dimension guide? Who is that?

[tiniestoverlord.livejournal.com]

...Never mind.

[Great, he's stuck with the kid. Now what?]

whoops misread and was thinking there were remnants of old ones /fixes

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

[Well, she's kind of... staring.

Apparently, Laharl, you are expected to know how to entertain her. Chess? Books?]

That's fine!

[tiniestoverlord.livejournal.com]

...go watch TV.

[Yes, really.]

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

What shows are on? [She watches it occasionally, but never very much; her tastes are fairly educational, too.]

Sorry for lateness!

[tiniestoverlord.livejournal.com]

How should I know?

[Mostly? Junk.]

no worries!

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

Let's find one we both like.

Thanks!

[tiniestoverlord.livejournal.com]

[He rolls his eyes, mutters something about "stupid Love Freaks", and stands up, walking on over to the TV set and turning it on.

It's tuned in to some lame rip-off of Prism Rangers. What was that again, Power Rangers?]

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

This one this one! [Yeah Ami has a thing for heroes of justice. Who'd figure? She calms herself with an effort, and stays polite.]

If it's alright with you.

[tiniestoverlord.livejournal.com]

[...goddammit she even has the same thing for love and justice that Flonne has.]

Fine.

[He sits himself right next to her, looking like he'd rather go drown in a lake. In a few minutes or so he'll be rooting for the Megazord.]

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

[Ami will probably decide he's just kidding around. She is long before her own bitterness and cynicism.]

If you don't want to we don't have to! It can be something else!

[tiniestoverlord.livejournal.com]

No, it's fine. Besides, I've been waiting to watch this one.

[Mostly to riff on Rita Repulsa--what kind of villain with his voice messes up against Prism Ranger rip-offs?]

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

Can I sit down with you? [It looks a lot more comfortable, really.]

[tiniestoverlord.livejournal.com]

Fine. [Notice how he says this with much reluctance.]

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

[Ami nods wordlessly, and sits down somewhat nervously. She stays as far from Laharl as she can without seeming obvious about it, mostly to avoid irritating him further.]

[tiniestoverlord.livejournal.com]

[He stays mostly silent throughout the episode, but when Rita comes on and yells something about having a headache, he rolls his eyes and mutters:]

You wouldn't be if you didn't have that much trouble trying to wipe out cheap Prism Ranger knock-offs.

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

But the power rangers are allies of justice! [She can imagine wanting to be the same. Being special, being able to protect.]

[tiniestoverlord.livejournal.com]

If they're the allies of justice, then justice doesn't know how to pick its allies. They're freaking teenagers.

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

[Teenagers look pretty big to her! And although she doesn't know it herself yet, she was about the age she is now when she became a soldier in the past.]

Do you dislike teenagers?

[tiniestoverlord.livejournal.com]

...You're completely missing the point.

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry.

What were you trying to say?

[tiniestoverlord.livejournal.com]

They're kids. Nobody should have that much trouble trying to defeat them. Especially if they can make their monsters grow.

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

[Well, but they're big kids!]

They're special.

[tiniestoverlord.livejournal.com]

So?! Even if they're special they shouldn't be able to survive that long!

[He'd have gone down there and pulled Meteor Impact on them if he was in Rita's place.]

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

It's a TV show. [This explains unreality. Really.]
