Hmmm... What are you? Interesting technology, but what is it used for--hm? Oho... recording me, are you? Hm... This had better not be some sort of spying device. If it is, I'll just dismantle this thing and use it for scrap metal.

But I suppose if it's going to be recording me, I might as well make good use of it. I wonder if this is broadcast anywhere... A communications device?

Oi! If anyone can hear me over this thing, where's the nearest Dimensional Gate?! Obviously there's been some sort of mistake. Whose idea was it to put a prinny in charge, anyway?

And what's with the domes? Is there some kind of climate control necessary for this place or something? ...I wonder if there's a machine for it around here somewhere...

I am sorry, but that title does not mean anything to me. I do not think it will carry much weight in this place.

Why are you stuttering? Do demons normally stutter when they are angry? Maybe that is your way of trying to frighten me?

[voice]

[madsciencemaou.livejournal.com]

Of course it will! Only the strongest demons become Overlords!

Wh-what's with all these questions, anyway?!

[voice]

[theboywithhorns.livejournal.com]

But demons do not rule this city. At least, I do not think they do.

I think you are having some trouble adjusting to this place.

As for the questions, I don't know. Why were you so interested in the shadows?

[voice]

[madsciencemaou.livejournal.com]

Even if they don't, it should be common knowledge. And I'm not having any trouble adjusting!

I haven't heard of anything like them before. I intend to study them.

[voice]

[theboywithhorns.livejournal.com]

Well, it's not common knowledge. Don't you think you are being a bit unreasonable?

Study them?

[voice]

[madsciencemaou.livejournal.com]

It's all in the title! "Overlord." Someone with that kind of title obviously has to have a lot of power behind them. Or they lord over a bunch of weaklings.

Of course. Maybe capture one for myself.

[voice]

[theboywithhorns.livejournal.com]

So if I told you that I defeated the Queen of the Evil Fortress, and am now Emperor of the Whole Land, that would be very impressive to you?

As for the shadows, I think that might be a little difficult if they are trying to attack you. What do you mean by study them?

[voice]

[madsciencemaou.livejournal.com]

Geh... It's... somewhat impressive, but I don't know who this "Queen of the Evil Fortress" is.

So they're aggressive? I'll make a note of that.

Capture them, find out what they are, maybe fit in a little dissection... I'll have to set up a lab somewhere.

You are a very funny demon. It must be very hard to know who's telling the truth when you believe every word you hear.

You are going to try cutting them open? What if they do not have bodies?

[voice]

[madsciencemaou.livejournal.com]

O-oi! Don't lie about something like that!

If they don't have bodies, I'll just think of something else!

[voice]

[theboywithhorns.livejournal.com]

So you are not lying about being the Overlord of wherever you are from? Are demons supposed to be honest, as well? I thought they were supposed to lie and try to trick you into doing their bidding.

...I am actually starting to feel a bit guilty, needling you like this. For an evil creature, you are obviously very impressionable.

[voice]

[madsciencemaou.livejournal.com]

Of course I'm not! A-And we're not! We lie, cheat, steal, play pranks, all of that! Except Beryl, but she's a delinquent, so she doesn't count.

What's that supposed to mean?!

[voice]

[theboywithhorns.livejournal.com]

Then I am very sorry. You are obviously having a lot of trouble being a demon, if you are being so nice and honest with me.

Would you like me to teach you how to lie, someday? It will probably make spotting liars much easier.

[voice]

[madsciencemaou.livejournal.com]

I'M NOT HAVING ANY TROUBLE BEING A DEMON! I was the top Honor Student at the Evil Academy before I became the Dean! My... My evil intellect is just too much for you to handle, that's all! You're just a human, what do you know, anyway?!

And I'm not being nice! Stop saying that!

[voice]

[theboywithhorns.livejournal.com]

That does sound very impressive! You obviously know a lot about being a demon. I am sad that I am not intelligent enough to understand how evil you are, or I would surely be very terrified.

Maybe you should practice being nice more often. You are very good at it, and maybe that could help you trick humans like me!

[voice]

[madsciencemaou.livejournal.com]

Why you...! Just consider yourself lucky I don't know where you are! I'm sure there are plenty of things I could do to you...

[voice]

[theboywithhorns.livejournal.com]

Like beat me up?

Or is that not evil enough? Would you try to study me also?

[voice]

[madsciencemaou.livejournal.com]

I'll put lasers in your eyes and put you in a room filled with mirrors! Or maybe I'll rearrange your body parts and see how you fare on your own in the middle of the city!

[voice]

[theboywithhorns.livejournal.com]

What are lasers? Are they very evil things?

I think you would have to catch me, first. I am very quick.

[voice]

[madsciencemaou.livejournal.com]

Why the hell would I tell you anything now?!

[voice]

[theboywithhorns.livejournal.com]

Well, if you don't tell me what they are, I can't very well be scared of them, right?

[voice]

[madsciencemaou.livejournal.com]

Then I'll just do the other one! Be afraid of that!

[voice]

[theboywithhorns.livejournal.com]

Okay, I will!

It was very nice to meet you, Mr. Demon!

[voice]

[madsciencemaou.livejournal.com]

It wasn't nice at all!
