009 - Voice | Locked from Laharl

[divine_storm]

Errr, I was just curious about something. You know that castle in the Netherworld, what exactly do the people living inside do? All I ever saw them do what stand around and say they don't wash their hands... or see a bunch of penguins run away.

I thought these guys were supposed to be "vassals"... so what exactly does a "vassal" do?

Comments

[beautifulrondo]

Er... Yes. But aside from the prinnies, those particular vassals you encountered are not technically Laharl's.

And I can assure you, the prinnies are paid more than they are in Celestia.

[divine_storm]

So... who's vassals are they? Shouldn't they not live in the castle then?

... Celestia?

[beautifulrondo]

That question would be better asked toward them, would it not?

Celestia, the world of angels.

[divine_storm]

... what's so wrong with asking YOU?

Oh... wait... why would they be paid less if they work with angels?

[beautifulrondo]

If you are going to ask a demon who they are loyal to, it is best to ask the demon is it not? Only they know who they are and who they are not loyal to.

Prinnies do good deeds under angels for free, they are paid--albeit in small amounts, in the Netherworld. It is part of their penance.

[divine_storm]

Okay... so who are you loyal to?


Just how small do Prinnies get paid then?

[beautifulrondo]

Hmhmhm~ That would be a secret.

That depends on who they work under. I would normally advise you to ask Etna, but Laharl may be better to ask in this case. Although the best answer, I think would be "an extraordinarily paltry amount."

[divine_storm]

*Urgh... demons*

... well, I'm not a Prinny, so what do I care...

So, are you one of that kid's vassals?

[beautifulrondo]

...No. I am not one of his vassals.

[divine_storm]

So... what are you then?

[beautifulrondo]

Me? Why, I am a beautiful flower, blooming in the shadows of mystery. There are some that call me... the Dark Adonis.

But simply "Vyers" shall do.

[divine_storm]

*silence, Vyers... there's a whole lot of silence*

...

...

So you ARE just a vassal in denial, huh?

[beautifulrondo]

Kh--! Absolutely not! That is not what it is at all!

[divine_storm]

That's some heavy denial there...

[beautifulrondo]

It is not denial. I am not his vassal, nor will I ever be.

[divine_storm]

Sure sounds like denial.

Okay, okay... fine. You're the Dark Adonis--

Hey wait a second, I heard that name before!

[beautifulrondo]

Eh? ...Ah. So you are that--

[awkward cough] I... I cannot apologize enough for before.

[divine_storm]

... look, it was a stupid love potion, right? Just forget it, it's not really important.

Imtheonewhoshouldbesorry...

[beautifulrondo]

I... suppose you are correct. [doesn't make it any less awkward]

Yes, you are absolutely right. It is all in the past.

[divine_storm]

Do... things like that happen a lot with that woman or...?

After a few minutes...

[beautifulrondo]

I am not entirely sure how to answer that. [in a way that won't get him in trouble]

[divine_storm]

... *that tells her everything, really*

Well, okay, nevermind then.


Hey... what can you tell me about that kid Overlord?

[beautifulrondo]

Laharl, you mean?

[divine_storm]

Well yeah... do you know a lot of kid Overlords?

[beautifulrondo]

There is another one here--I think. The position of Evil Academy's Dean is said to be equal to that of an Overlord.

...In any case, what is it, exactly, that you wish to know about Laharl? [though he is kind of starting to put two and two together here]
