... Demon Lord? Frederic could see the man's pointed ears, but he highly doubted that.
"Pardon me, but... As far as I have been told, I believe that the Overlord is apparently the person who is having this dream. If that is correct, then I'm not sure that the Overlord of this world is the sort you are thinking of. I believe you are describing an "Overlord" in the royal sense of the word, am I correct?"
"A Netherworld?" He said, looking confused. That word usually referred to the afterlife. While Frederic had certainly considered the possibility of this world being the land of the dead, but he had already met many people who came here without dying. "Somarium is supposed to be a dream world, isn't it?"
[There appeared to be some confusion, which would not do at all. It detracted from the whole point of his speech. Best to clear this up quickly and move on.]
Your pardon...I am in the habit of refering to other worlds as Netherworlds, as that is the style of my own place of origin. Shall we say then that I mean Overlord as one who rules the world they inhabit?
[Really, we didn't mean it as an insult. We're actually kind of amused. It's like a puppy marking its territory! D'aww.]
Or perhaps those with said leadership abilities are finding those skills are best applied in other means. This world has a leader, after all, and I've found her to be quite....capable.
[There's quite the air of power around this one - she would make a fine vassal indeed. Unfortunate then that she seemed wary of him.]
Why yes, mademoiselle. I am a nobleman of the Netherworld [That had a nice ring to it, he'd have to remember that one], in other words, a lord and a demon.
[Frowns slightly, then shrugs.] I am afraid I have not heard of this 'Twisting Nether.' The Netherworld, or rather a Netherworld, is a world that demons call home.
[He smiles at her, attempting to turn up the charm.] While it may be true that demons are in general rather unpleasant, I assure you I am a truly noble example.
*grins* Now how best to get Chrona to go along with this...dreamingadonisApril 28 2009, 22:43:40 UTC
Indeed! [He's gesturing with the rose, expansive motions.] Look around us, my boy - this world we are living in. A place of such potential, is it not?
[Vyers meets and tries to hold Chrona's gaze.]
But without someone who can lead the people to their true potential, to guide and protect them, who knows what could happen to this place? A true leader is someone who could perform this role. Luckily, I have all the qualities required of such a leader!

An Overlord is one who rules a given Netherworld. Is there any other kind?
[And what did he mean, 'having this dream'?]

My, this dream does attract all types, doesn't it?

Indeed - it's a shame that up until now it does not seem to have attracted anyone with true leadership qualities.

[He smiles thinly.]
And what better application of talented leadership can there be but to lead?

"Demon Lord"...?

[A low bow, his typical introduction.]
Is there some problem?

*She answers his bow with a polite nod* Where I come from, demons are rarely pleasant to interact with.

So, you have come to stake your own claim? I would expect nothing less from my rival!

What kind of idiot are you, Mid-Boss? Didn't you know that everyone here is my vassal already?
Reply
Ha, you must think me foolish! The only mention I have heard of your name is alongside words like 'short' and 'terrible disposition.'
[And now a wide smirk.]
You've not managed to get much respect, child. Maybe you would be better served as my vassal than my rival.

Y-you're... still trying to do this?

But of course, dear boy! Where would this world be without the presence of true leaders like myself?

"True leader..?"

Do you wish to protect people, young Chrona?
