[When the video starts, the familiar face of Laharl can be seen. However... something is different. His face is forced into a neutral expression, but murder can be seen raging in his eyes. When he speaks, his voice is just as restrained as his body language.]

Citizens of Genessia, I come before you today not simply as Laharl. Not simply as another resident of this place. Today I don the crown of Overlord, and I have two demands. In the time I slept, a certain resident by the name of Lucifer damaged something of mine, and anyone who has any clues as to his whereabouts is hereby ordered to divulge that information immediately.

Second, to anyone in this place that has access to healing magic or abilities, you are hereby ordered to report to the Nova City clinic where you will find a man named Vyers. You will be compensated for your effort in healing him.

Oh, and Satsuki Kiryuin. If anything happens to him before I return, I'll have your head.

[Satsuki didn't even know a 'Vyers' was even in her area, she'd seen hundreds upon hudreds of people being passed through the archway- and without his wings he really just didn't stand out in that mess. Though.. As she stares a moment at Laharl, she feels a nagging familiarity.

Anyway, she does end up responding and really wishes she was speaking with Flonne instead. She's a little sweetie. Rather than dismiss him, she decides to trace the connection between the individuals. Her expression is as neutral as one may expect.]

I see. And what is your relation to said patient, Laharl?

[Video]

[forever_prince]

[Laharl wouldn't be surprised really. Mid-Boss has a habit of blending in with the crowd. However, Laharl is definitely not in the best of moods, even if he is just sitting outside Mid-Boss' spot waiting for someone to have a tip for him.]

Not that it's any of your damn business, he's a vassal of mine.

[weavemyownfate]

You made it my business just moments ago. If you don't mind, I would rather not be beheaded over someone I know nothing about.

So I suggest you prepare to grant whatever information I ask-seeing as he is your vassal, you would be the most reliable, and valuable, source for saving his life.

[Over a private feed, of course. She's also exaggerating a little, but the ball is currently in her court. Might as well use it.]

So will you cooperate, or will you take back the responsibility you have given me?

Overlord.

[forever_prince]

WHAT!?

[banishment]

I highly doubt many people will recognize your so-called sovereignty.

[melonsaregreat]

Who are you again?

[Someone is unimpressed by his visibility as a civic leader.]

[Video]

[forever_prince]

Right now I'm getting increasingly annoyed with people asking questions instead of following order.

[He likes to sleep. A lot.]

[melonsaregreat]

Finding out that the authority you presumed to have was a just a well-cherished delusion does sound irritating.

Given the circumstances it shouldn't come as a surprise, though.

[ainoakuma]

Laharl-san! Please....

[forever_prince]

I can't just let this go, Flonne. I can't.

[ainoakuma]

But... what if you get yourself hurt or killed?

[dragonform]

No need to worry about Vyers, Laharl. I've been using my magic to help him. He also had a favor to ask of me. I don't know where Lucifer currently is, but he doesn't want you going after him alone.

If you want to compensate me in any way, then just do as he asks and don't go rushing off after Lucifer.

Audio/Private

[forever_prince]

I choose what to worry about.

That's the one thing I can't do. This is more than an issue of being Overlord. This is a matter of pride.

[Nobody does that to King Krichevskoy - regardless of how washed up his current form - and lives to tell the tale.]

Audio/Private

[dragonform]

Then I'll fight with you. One way or another, I can't let someone like that still walk free. But we can't go rushing into a fight, there's no sense in pride if you don't survive.

I know how you're feeling right now. Believe me, I do. Someone did the same to my brothers a very long time ago, but you have to choose when to fight carefully. Make it on your terms when you have a clear head, not his. Even then, there's still the matter of finding him.

[Audio]

[crimsoneye]

Such demands from our wise overlord. [Oh my, did he sound entertained?]

But as our overlord, shouldn't you be worried for the well being of all your subjects, and not just the ones from your world?

While your goods were damaged, at best, others have had their lives taken. Do they not deserve justice as well?

[Oh yes, he went there, and he wasn't backing down.]

[Audio]

[forever_prince]

Considering that the person I'm looking for started the whole mess, it kind of kills two birds with one stone.

[His voice darkens a bit as his anger flares up to the point that you can practically feel his aura through the device.]

But if I ever catch you back-mouthing me when I'm this pissed again, I will have your head on a pike.

[Audio]

[miniczar]

Did you not see the broadcast prior to the explosion?

Whether the person responsible for the destruction of the hospital is the same one who tampered with your property is to be investigated.

But I'm more concerned with your reign over the city, since I doubt everyone has accepted your leadership to be absolute.

[Koenma hasn't for one, and none of his former detectives would either.]

[Audio]

[forever_prince]

No, I didn't. I was asleep.

All I know is the guy who did this called himself Lucifer. According to my vassal, he was the one at the center of everything.

Right now, I don't give a shit about that. All I care about is finding the idiot that would dare harm my vassals, and ripping him to shreds. I'll deal with the rest later.

[Audio]

[beautifulmidboss]

[Vyers had been keeping an eye on the communicators whilst he recovered, yet this was not what he was expecting to see. He had suspected that Laharl would want to go charge Lucifer for this - much to his concern - but here… Laharl actually called him by the name 'Vyers', not 'Midboss', and seemed to actually be concerned for his wellbeing like this?

To say that he was a lost for words, for once, was an understatement, and it takes him some time to reply. He was still exhausted, so simply turned on an audio feed and left the device on the pillow next to him.

Telling him outright to not fight Lucifer was certain not to work, so instead: ]

…Honestly, I imagine he intends to lie low after this. I am sure he's aware there are plenty of powerful people who want to hunt him down.

[A pause.]

Thank you.

[Audio]

[forever_prince]

[Calling him Vyers was a slip up. That's his story and he's sticking to it.]

Save your thanks, Mid-Boss. You're my punching bag. Only I get to beat the crap out of you, got it?

[Careful Laharl. Your tsun is showing.]

voice.

[xroyal_bratx]

Are we seriously having this problem again?

[ You know what ignoring. ]

Where's the injured person, so I can get to their injuries and if you can give me a full description. That would be helpful.

voice.

[forever_prince]

We won't as long as you do what I say.

[Good idea.]

He's in the clinic in Nova City. Just ask for him at the front desk and they'll point you to him.

[...And a thought occurs to him.]

Oh, he's under the name Mid-Boss.

[melodyoftheabyss]

I have assisted previously with Vyer's injuries. If you require more healing, I can stop by. I do need his location, however.

[forever_prince]

[Hearing that she was one of the ones that helped with the healing - and thus took some of the weight off Flonne's shoulders - goes a long way toward calming the raging demon down.]

I'm fine. ...I slept through the whole thing and wasn't aware of what happened until after the fact. Mid-Boss is in the Nova City clinic. Just ask for him and they'll show you to him.
