Episode 1: Who wants to be an overlord ? [Disgaea]

Archonessa: The contract is written in pure legalease and you can understand individual words and sentences, but can't make sense of the contract. It's something that would make the highest burocrats proud.


"The name of the region you control is the Plains of Ragnarok."
 
Sasha concentrates and a tiny pinky bit of her tongue gets out of her mouth as she does so.


She signs the contract with a big X nicely drawn in about 30 seconds.


"wuddoo hy doo naow ?"


***


What do I do now ?
 
Eclypsia


"A really good question. It'll be quite odd... running an section of this land," Eclypsia mentions in response to Sasha, "Much less getting there." She crosses her arms more in an effect to just hold herself rather than look unhappy, which in any account she is to a degree.
 
Rei


"A free for all battle? The problem, one supposes is that there is in the end, but one prize," Rei's eyes moved over the others speculatively. "And so many of us. Who here... really wants the position as an overlord?"
 
Alexander


"Also... just to be a bit pragmatic, but is this a 'last one standing' getup?" asked the young man. "This is a contest of sorts, and as the prize is a whole demonic realm, there's a bit of a high chance of violence coming into the picture. I'd like to know I'm not signing up for a definite 'win or dirt nap' situation. Or if coming out alive at the end regardless of the grand prize is a possibility."
 
"The conditions of victory have been kept a secret. Normaly, this sort of despute is typicaly sorted by battle royale, submission, compromise, children's card games and many challenges with seet conditions. Here for some unimaginable reason, late overlord Velan has chosen to keep the ideal candidate profile a complete secret. For all we know, the cruelest could win, or the strongest, or even whoever looks best (knowing him). There's even a chance that eliminating your siblings could theoraticaly disqualify you. Your father probably wished for the judge or judges to see your real yous before making the choice."
 
"So.. wee dunno haow wee suppoz ta ween... dahdee wuz nutz"


***


So... we don't know how we are supposed to win... daddy was nuts.
 
Alexander


"It's looking like 'dear old dad' was a lot of things..." He shook his head.


"So, other than the grand prize, and that we're goin' to be on tv most of the time, what ARE we allowed to know about this?"
 
Rei


The magical girl thought very carefully on this, before looking at Theresa over steeped fingers. "Everything else is unrestricted, you say.... mmmmh...."


"Excellent, most... excellent," for a moment, a brief one, the face of the magical girl is shrouded in shadows before a prinny replaced the burnt out lightbulb.


"Tell me, when do we start?"
 
Eclypsia


Eclypsia frowns yes, she had to admit that her father... was out of his mind, but then he was a demon. But she nods with the chilling magical girl statement waiting silently for an answer. She didn't like this at all.
 
The burocrat takes the now signed contracts and gives them to a prinny for filing. The door then suddenly opened and a demon soldier came in. He stood nearly as tall as the hallbard he was carrying, had brown hair held by a bandana and began speaking loudly:


"Capitain Malal, ready to escort you to your palace, sirs !"
 
Alexander


Taking a look at the soldier, and then at the other 'contestants', Alex sighed to himself and quickly scribbled his signature on one of the contracts before thrusting the paper into the hands (flippers?) of the prinny who ha taken the others. He had no straight idea what he was getting himself into, but at least none of the others did either.
 
Eclypsia


With a frown and a heavy sigh the young Celestial moves and readies to follow. She was by far quite nervous with this, the last thing she wanted was to make those in Celestial more upset with her as they were now. Tossing back her luxurious and very long, black hair and keeping her wings folded behind her she glances to the others and waits for the escort.
 
Sasha gently tries to hold the hand of the angel kin with a large innocent and friendly smile while getting ready to follow her.
 
Rei


"We can, I assume, check in on you later on?" The magical girl stood up as she asked her question.
 
"Yes you may. I perform other administrative functions for your estate and will often be contacting you."


As the burocrat is done talking, Malal keeps the door opened for you.


"It is a honor to meet the progeny of overlord Velan, sirs. I somehow expected more, sirs."
 
Eclypsia


Eclypsia frowns at the bureaucrat, "Well Father was womanizer so its kinda obvious I guess that to punish him of that most of his children would be non womanizing women." She smiles slightly but for only a moment. Well she knew she wasn't a womanizer or a manizer... as far as she knew she wasn't interested at all in anything like that. She gives a sigh.

(OOC: Sorry I didn't even notice you had replied >< Has been one of those weeks...)
 
(gm note, when Malal said he was expecting mor, sirs. It meant he was expecting more kids. The sirs is the military always finishing their sentences with sir.)


You are now being escorted to your overlord home. While your team travels lets have a word from our sponsors.


A Sony PSP: £100


A copy of Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness : £30


Beating the living day lights out of Uber Prinny Bhaal and bragging to your friends: priceless.


There are some things money can't buy, for the rest there's Rosenqueen.


And back to our show.


At the studio, Axel is talking to the experts while the group is marching towards their new home:


"Tell me, what do you think of our candidats so far ?"


Vader answers firsts:


"They do not seem to know the power of the dark side yet. But they shall soon learn."


Mao continues:


"Now that you mention it, the candidats show a dissapointing lack of evil tendencies. I do seriously hope you're planning to influence the outcome somehow."


Axel answers:


"This is a TV reality show."


"Oh so you're rigging it."


"Pretty much."





Kane smiled a little:


"We have only seen what they chose to show. It is important never to show all your cards at the beginnig, brothers."


"Good point, so we'll have to see who is plotting. They seem to be arriving close to the castle and... oh, that's interesting..."


And now to our group:


After a while of walking with captain Malal, you can finaly see the castle of your late father. It is quite your average impressive gothic building with the exception that instead of gargoyles and monster and dragons on the decorations, it's women, of all sort of species. You do notice however as you're getting close, that the entrance is open and people seem to be popping in and out.
 
Rei


Gazing upon the castle, Rei blinked at how impressive it looked until she noticed the decorations. The female sculptures and statues seemed rather.... indecent, given the way they were posed.


There was also the matter of Rei recognizing a number of them... a small number of them to be sure. But she did.


That statue was dead on for Dark Princess Illura, if it wasn't posed so wantonly with a look of satisfaction on her face. Were those angels posed near her?


And over there, that had to be the Star Sailor magical girl team with their princess, but those positions seemed to indicate the magical girls to be doing something rather naughty to their princess.


Eventually, it was inevitable really, Rei saw a statue of her mother. The position she was posed in was suggestive as were all the other statues, but the sultry look on the face was.... no one wanted to see their mother with that kind of look. At least normally.


Doubly so, if one looked almost identical to their mother. At least beyond hair style and outfits.


"Oh mother...."

I'm imagining that the old man had the decorations of his castle based on his many conquests. :lol:
