[When the feed starts, a rather annoyed looking face belonging to someone who seems to be wearing far too little clothing considering the weather looking into the camera.]

Alright, I gotta admit, this was a fun prank, guys. Ha ha, strand Etna out on some backwater nexus world or whatever this place passes as, but fun's over.

I know the Senate or the Prinny Squad is watching so... GET OFF YOUR LAZY BUTTS AND COME PICK ME UP!

For every hour I'm stuck here, I'm deducting a century's salary for the Prinny Squad. So hop to--

[She's cut off mid sentence as a snowball comes flying out of nowhere and hits Etna right in the face.]

Oh you are SO dead!

...Complete absence of good taste aside, that must be cold.

[ And here's Remilia, who is naturally properly dressed for the weather. ]

[Etna takes a break from repeatedly stabbing the pile of snow that used to be a snowman with a comically large spear to give Remilia a Look (tm)]

Hey, it's not my fault I'm hot enough to keep me warm without looking like an overstuffed great grandma.

[ Well... that thing is down for now. ]

Go freeze solid. See if I care.

I think I'll pass. It'd be a crime to deny the world the glory that is Beauty Queen Etna~!

[Yeah she's just gonna let that self proclaimed title hang in the air for a bit.]

Etna!

[Great to see fellow demon friend!]

It's not their fault. Didn't you hear from the hologram girl? We were abducted by spirits!

Oh, hey Flonne.

[She double takes a bit as she inspects Flonne's bow. Blue huh. ...Weird.]

I don't care who's fault it is that we got stranded here. The senate can pass a bill to summon us back so its on the Prinny Squad to get the mana together to get us back.

A century's? I-Isn't that a bit harsh...

[Yoshiya shudders when the snowball gets her.]

Are you okay, miss? You must be freezing...

What you call harsh, I call extra incentive.

[She shrugs.]

Of course I'm fine. Demons like me are very warm blooded. Besides, it'd be a crime to deprive everyone of my beauty~

What's a Prinny?

Beauty?

[... Wait. He had better not question that—-] Ah, I mean. I’m just glad you’ll be okay. I don’t want for you to catch a cold, miss! I’m sure you could make a coat look beautiful too, though.

[Wait (again.)]

Demon?

Still... You don't have to be that harsh. I'm sure they're working hard.

[Those poor Prinnies.]

I'm glad you're here. It's been very quiet.

[Cue the Snowman monster growling in the background.]

Well, almost.

When a human that led a sinful life dies, their soul is encased in a shoddy penguin costume and forced to do menial labor for demons in the Netherworld to atone for their sins.

That's a Prinny. I'm kinda in charge of a bunch of 'em.

Are you kidding? Of course I have to be harsh! If I'm not they'd just sleep or party instead of actually working. Besides, think of all the Hell I'm saving .

Tell ya what, I'll buy you some Prism Ranger DVDs when we get back if you don't make a big deal out of it.

[Etna just arches an eyebrow.]

Yeah what's the deal with those guys?

Yup~! I'm a demon of desire, and I like gobbling up innocent little brats like you, so you better watch out~

[A demon of desire? Yoshiya takes a moment to think this through.

Desires → Thing People Want
Gobble Him Up? → Fulfill His Desires?
His Desires →→→ ???]

So you could make a whale CD for me?

[There's a long silence as Etna just... stares trying to parse this kid's logic.]

...what...?

[Meanwhile, Yoshiya assumes that she knows what he's talking about. She is, after all, a demon of desire. Surely she can sense his wishes through the video call!]

Oh, sorry. I guess, what I should ask is more, um... What's the price? For my desires?

[He's not sure how much he's willing to give up for that CD, but he had might as well price check the universe.]

That's... not how this works. ...Whatever it is you're thinking.

[She changes her tone of voice to be as patronizing as demonically possible.]

I'm the one with desires. And I said I was going to eat you.

Oh.

[Slightly disappointed about the lack of whale CD, just for a moment.]

I really wouldn't recommend that, miss. I don't think it would be very healthy. I'm probably stale.

[Because he's essentially a zombie. Not that he's going to bluntly admit that.]

Deal!

[Meanwhile Flonne is apologizing mentally to the Prinnies. Talk about priorities.]

We can have it a marathon of it.

Well... [She looks off screen, to where one is, then back.] From what I've heard, something happened in Fayren and the summoners there are asking for help.

Huh.

[That's a new take on the afterlife than what she's heard of. Penguin costume? What the hell?]

Do they ever eventually atone for their sins and get to lead an afterlife that's a little more peaceful?

I mean, they pay off their debt eventually, but no they don't get another shot at an afterlife.

[She shrugs.]

Once they pay back enough Hell to fund their trip to the Red Moon, they're 'purified' and reincarnated.

[Etna grins. It's good to see that bribing Flonne was still nice and simple.]

Uh... yeah. Sure.

[She'll have to evade that invitation later.]

Oooh, so we're getting paid to beat these guys into a pulp? Count me in.

Wow. You do... not get out much do you kid?

It's more of a metaphorical thing. Demons eating people is largely made up and we just go along with the threats because it's funny.

Technically that's another chance, if they lead a better life the next time they're reincarnated.

[She's got to know, though.]

Why the penguin costume? Is it to make the work more embarrassing or something?

Is it though? Like, demons can retain memories of past lives if they reincarnate but humans don't. The person that was the Prinny is effectively erased in the Red Moon.

[There's an instant of sadness as her thoughts drift to The Queen.]

I dunno why they look like that. I always assumed to make it as humiliating as possible.

[No Etna! Don't!]

A little vulgar but I suppose that's the idea, and returning them.

[As for getting paid...]

Pretty much!

I got a stone to capture them, and a strong hold fort in the Everglade. ...Can you make it here? Soon?

[Not that she's nervous or anything.]

Capture? Laaaaaame. I thought we were slaughtering 'em.

[Sigh.]

At least we're getting paid. Didn't expect you to have a fort lined up. Maybe we'll turn you into a proper warmonger after all.

We are beating them up! Then the stone does the-- I'll show you later.

[War--whut! Flailing angel!]

I-It's not like that! Not like that at all!

Uh-huh. Suuuure. You were enjoying this, Flonne. I'm proud of you~!

[She's enjoying teasing Flonne about this a bit too much.]

If you keep true to your threat, then going by the way this world works, I'm sure your squad is going to see a millennia of pay reductions.

[He would think that's cruel, but... well. He is a Nohrian.]

I don't, no, but that's not the point.

Demons can eat people. There are places in Everglade that cater to that.

[But if it's a joke to her, that's fine. Yoshiya is still on the fence about people being food.]

And your joke wasn't very funny.

Just because we can doesn't mean we want to. I mean really a good parfait trumps stringy human meat any day for me.

[She rolls her eyes.]

Don't really care if you didn't find it funny. It's supposed to be funny for me and you killed it. I hope you're proud of yourself, mister.

[She puts her hands on her hips and puffs out her chest in mock anger.]

That's fine by me. More Hell to spend on snacks for me then.

[She shrugs.]

They deserve it anyway. They're supposed to be rehabilitating after all.

Nooooooooo!

[Sob, denial forever! Until-- FWAP! One snowball thrown on one side of the face. Which makes her falls off screen while her smartphone twirls in the air.

All is quiet.]

[3... 2... 1...

Flaming Flonne merges!]

You asked for it mister!

[The snowball war is on. Again.]

Snowball of LOVE!

Hm. It's hard to say if it counts as a second chance if they don't remember anything from their past life. I guess it's a matter of perspective.

[It doesn't sound like anything she'd want to be seen wearing, at least.]

It does seem like a pretty embarrassing costume. Even if someone liked penguins, if it's shoddy, then they still wouldn't be happy wearing it.

Oh, it comes with peg legs and a fanny pack for maximum humiliation.

Killing snowmen with love!?

How barbaric Flonne~! I'm so proud!

[Also making a bee-line for Flonne's location.]

Oh, um... I can see your point, you're right. I-I'm sorry. I guess I just have a terrible sense of humor.

So you're a demon... who likes parfaits? [...] Is it because you're a demon, that you don't need a coat in winter?

[Bulla can't help it, she cracks up laughing.]

Oh no! I shouldn't laugh at those people but...

[It's still quite an image.]

Oh yeah you should. They deserve it. Part of why they're Prinnies.

[Small shrug.]

You ask a lot of questions. Little rule of thumb, if you have to ask a demon about stuff like that, the answer you're most likely to get is "Because I'm a demon."

I mean, it won't be the correct answer most of the time but we don't care.

[She's not paying attention right now, must ~~murder~~ free snowman's soul! Meanwhile Etna may find the little angel on top of a snow made tower-like fort. One incoming boulder made of snow from up there.]

[Thankfully for Etna, she was wearing her jumping shoes so she had no problem getting up to the tower Flonne was raining icy destruction down from.]

Havin' fun Flonne~?

Hi Etna! Yes I am actually.

[Cause it looks like the snowmen are too, somehow.]

[Etna peers out over the way to where the snowmen were and frowns.]

Flonne... you're not doing a very good job fighting 'em...

[She pulls her spear out of hammerspace and grins sadistically.]

Need me to remind you how to fight? I can give you another tutorial fight if you need, but I don't have any Prinnies to demonstrate throwing...
