Half of me wants to Photoshop an icon but the other half is like "god no"

[Immediately following these transactions, Laharl quickly and stealthily locks himself in his room and barricades the hell out of it. He's Brooding about more than one thing. Nobody can get in, but he does have a phone in there. Nothing's to stop his two BRAND-NEW PRINNIES, however, getting comfortably out of earshot so they can laugh about "Lord

[knocking on his door]

Laharl! Are those weird penguins yours?

[yournewoverlord]

[Through the door]

Yeah. Do me a favor and throw one, will you?

[raven_daughter]

Just come out and tell them to be quiet, will you?

[yournewoverlord]

I'm busy in here! You tell 'em to shut up. They're Prinnies, they'll basically do anything if you threaten to blow them up or take money from them.

[Oh, look. Penguins. Susan briefly nods at the creatures as she passes.]

. . . . . . . . . . . . . .

[Susan backtracks.]

Now I've never seen one outside the picture books that assure me they exist, but the two of you are certainly not proper penguins.

Don't mind the old dummy journal

[castle_vassals]

We're Prinnies, dood!

[deaths_heritor]

Not proper at all. I'd much prefer to be addressed as 'miss', if you would, please.

Where did you even come from?

[castle_vassals]

Dood, if I could say miss instead of dood, Master Etna would have made sure I do it full-time by now.

Lord Laharl regained us, dood. We're stuck here with everybody else, dood...

[Wanders by, tapping away at her newly-regained Pokedex. She stops in front of the Prinnies, blinking curiously and looking a little sad.]

"...You guys sure are weird-looking Piplups. Though you're probably not actually Piplups at all, huh?"

Don't mind the old dummy journal

[castle_vassals]

...What the heck's a Piplup, dood?

[noneed_2worry]

[Dawn taps a few buttons on her Pokedex and then holds it out to the Prinny It displays this picture and begins to speak in a programmed, robotic voice.]

Piplup, the Penguin Pokémon. Piplup is very proud, and its thick down protects it from the cold.

[castle_vassals]

Definitely not us, dood. If we had thick down, it might cushion us when we get tossed, dood!

Not to mention, pride is illegal for Prinnies, dood.

[no_bullying]

You're very weird looking penguins.

[castle_vassals]

[The two stop and talk to each other.]

Everybody says that today, dood. Do you think we look funny, dood?

I dunno, dood. Did I forget to take off that fake hair?

No, dood, you're lookin' good. Maybe it's our pouches, dood...

[no_bullying]

Well...your pouches could be a little cuter...

[castle_vassals]

I toldja we should have accessorized better, dood! We're unfashionable!

[angelic_meister]

Demons?

[. . .]

Soul Perception says you're evil souls and not exactly sane, but...there's something telling me that I'd feel seriously lame and guilty reaping your souls.

[castle_vassals]

Uhhhh... what exactly would happen to us if you reaped our souls, dood?

[angelic_meister]

Uh. I'd kill you, feed your soul to my Weapon, and then give the souls to Lord Death. But my Weapon isn't here and neither is Lord Death, so...

[castle_vassals]

Th-that doesn't sound like the Death I know at all, dood! I thought he was just supposed to let us pass on when we were done redeeming ourselves!
