001. This Can't be Good... [Voice Post]

[notafakehero]

Oh, it does work. I've never really used these that often, am I doing this right...

Did I tell the Dimensional Gatekeeper the wrong thing? I'm not really sure where I'm at but it looks like I ended up somewhere in the Human World? The remains of the skyscrapers do remind me of the ones at--

Where am I!?! This can't be the Human World or even the

I'm afraid there's much more to be missing than your favorite show, amigo-- relative safety. Peace of mind. Friends and family-- an entire world away...

Not to be a downer or anything. But I find the sooner the bandaid of falsity is ripped away from the wounds of confusion and fear, the sooner they begin to heal.

[notafakehero]

... it's sad to say but that's happened to me before, sir. I-I'm really not sure if things will turn out as well this time around though. Aaah, this place sounds terrible!

[cafedeinfierno]

Hey now, don't despair. Despair is the last refuge of the weak. Now is the time to stay calm and make a plan.

Besides, what are neighbors for better than to help one another?

[notafakehero]

Y-you're right! I have to be brave! I can't let my title lose its meaning, after all!

That's true too, I'm not alone here-- Thank you, mister...?

[feverxtimexbaby]

You come from the Netherworld, too? Do you know Laharl? He's the Overlord and all, so you probably do...

Anyway, calm down! This is Manhattan, and it's okay once you settle in and make some friends. You're safe for the most part: just stay out of the way of Big Mommy and the crabs and you'll be okay. And I'm sure your princess is missing you, too.

See? Nothing to worry about! I'm Anise, by the way. What's your name?

[notafakehero]

Well, not exactly. I'm from the Human World, but I have friends in the Netherworld too. It's different from the one Mister Laharl is from though, Mao is the overlord there.

I-I've somewhat calmed down by now. But it's still a lot to take in! ... "Big Mommy"? Is- is that the giant monster I've been hearing about? What an odd name... And she- I hope she does. P-Princess isn't the sort to... is sh- no!

Oh, I'm Almaz. It's nice to meet you, Miss Anise.

[feverxtimexbaby]

Wow, there's more than one?! That's so cool! But...who's Mao?

Yup, she's the big monster. I wouldn't take a closer look at her if I were you. But she's super loud when she comes out, so you don't have to worry about any surprise attacks or anything.

[notafakehero]

Yup, there's a lot of them out there. Oh, and like I said, Mao is the overlord of the Netherworld I know. The heir to the Evil Academy. Umm, he's here too, somewhere...

If she's as big as everyone says, then I don't think I'll need to. Not that I want to in the first place! And if she is that big, I wonder if it would be even possible or her to sneak up on others.
