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?

[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]

[divine_storm]

There's more than one?! *fffffffffffffffffffff---- what is this? What's with you demons and your upside down Netherworlds?*

How the hell does a kid like that become an Overlord anyway? There wasn't even any real Overlord in the Dark World back home... and he's a little kid! *Shut up, there's nothing here*

[beautifulrondo]

But of course. There are as many Netherworlds as there are stars in the sky. As a human world's countries have kings, so to does each Netherworld have an Overlord.

As for Laharl, he is Overlord because he defeated all challengers to the throne after his father died.

[divine_storm]

... well not all of them... that's why that demon at Rosenqueen kept bothering us to train demons and monsters for him.

... His dad died huh... Huh, so he did earn it after all...

[beautifulrondo]

Of course. It is only natural for the son of the great King Krichevskoy to have inherited such strength.

[divine_storm]

The great who-kevchoy?

[beautifulrondo]

...The previous Overlord, who accomplished a great many wonderful things.

[divine_storm]

What kind of "wonderful things" are we talking about here? *there's some suspicions in her voice there... "wonderful" and "demons" don,t always mesh correctly...*

[beautifulrondo]

He worked to eliminate class hierarchy between demons, sought to forge greater links between humans, demons, and angels, sealed Tyrant Overlord Baal with his last breath...! Well, nearly last breath.

Surely you cannot deny that those are all the marks of a wonderful Overlord!

[divine_storm]

... errr, well considering that the only demons back home considered killing all humans in the world as "wonderful"

... it's... an improvement? *VYERS USED CONFUSION, WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?*

[beautifulrondo]

[all of Vyers thoughts suddenly come to a screeching halt] All of them did? Why in the world would they do that?

[divine_storm]

...

Well... that's not very important, in the end, they failed. *you probably don't want to hear this one, Vyers*

And I'm pretty sure some of them didn't really care, those in the Netherworld were in a civil war, I think.

[beautifulrondo]

Well if they were in a civil war, that might explain why they had no Overlord. It is likely their previous one was killed.

...What would be the point of destroying a human world? [sorry, Priere, he's stuck on this. Vyers is confused now]

Are you certain it was not only one or two of them? Or a small faction?

[divine_storm]

Well, the fraction that was in the human world, yeah... who were running the biggest church in the country.

The ones who didn't care stayed in war... maybe. *honestly, she's guessing on that part, but it seems the most logical*

[beautifulrondo]

They made a church? You are certain these were demons? [he gets enough flak for thanking God for stuff]

[divine_storm]

... pretty sure yeah... considering we're the ones who stopped them.

Actually it was just a front to fill the world with darkness... like they sent a demon out to kill some members of the church to kill people and cut out their hearts. It was part of their big evil plan... *honestly... she sounds sadder than she should be about that part*
