…Okay… What the hell?

This definitely wasn't right. He was supposed to be in a new Netherworld, not some crappy-ass city. Where was this, anyway? Was this some sort of joke?! Ugh… Figured that this was what

Rosette was wandering. Okay, so wandering out in streets infested with murderous crabs probably wasn't the smartest plan, but somehow she just couldn't believe that there was no way back to the mainland. Plus, she had her gun, and it was fully loaded. It couldn't be too bad, right?

That was before she heard loud cursing. She was running towards the source and almost there before she realized that she couldn't hear the crabs or the monster at all. It was just some guy cursing.

She sighed, rounding the corner into the street, ready to yell at whoever had been swearing like that-

Except there was nobody here. There was just a book.

A book with a face.

That was sure weird, but it wasn't like she hadn't seen possessed items before. Not having a holy seal with her would make exorcism difficult, but she'd deal with it. Somehow.

She strode over to the book and looked down at it. She'd feel pretty silly for talking to a book, especially if it didn't talk back, but...oh well. Not like anybody else was there to see.

"Shut up already."

It was shortly after his last shout that Zetta finally noticed the woman approaching. Now that was timing. It looked as though this might be easier to get out of than he thought. Now all he had to do was try and convince her to be his personal chauffeur he'd have gotten somewhere. Then he could find more people and rebuild his army and try and get out of here.

...Crap, she was a nun. So much for that.

She had quite a mouth on her, too. Didn't she know who she was messing with? Figured he'd find a human. "'Shut up?!' Well, don't we just have a smart mouth! Don't piss me off, lady, I'm not in the mood," he snapped. Now he needed to find where the nearest Makai Gate was...

Despite the fact that it had been cursing the air blue only moments earlier, somehow Rosette had not expected to get lip from a possessed book. "You're not in the mood?" she snapped. "There's a monster running around, you're yelling loud enough to attract half the crabs in the city, and - and I'm talking to a book, dammit!" Rosette had just about had it with all the crazy stuff going on in the city, and she was more than ready to leave this particular one behind. She spun on her heel and left, her parting words a kind and tender, "Get yourself eaten for all I care."

She hadn't gone more that a dozen steps before curiousity got the better of her. Why was a possessed book in the middle of Manhattan - nevermind that, the middle of the street?

She slowed to a stop. "Hey," she said over her shoulder. "What the hell kind of demon are you anyways?"

Well, what else would possess a book?

Zetta was about to snap at her, to tell her--albeit in more forceful terms--that he didn't mind whether or not she left and he would find his way around this place on his own (if he ever found someone else), when her words finally sunk in.

A monster running around? Attract half the crabs in the city? So this place was filled to the brim with monsters, too. Great. Wasn't this day just getting better and better? At least he could keep the bastards away if he needed to. As long as none came behind him, he guessed.

Huh? Oh, she was stopping.

He laughed loudly at her question. "Me?! The name's Zetta, the most bad-ass freakin Overlord in the cosmos!" he boasted before letting out another peal of cocky laughter.
