makaistation | Deep Burning Question

I guess Etna's feelings for him were partially strengthened by her seeing more and more of Kri in Laharl(by the end of the 5th novel she actually starts referring to him as "Your Majesty"), but I guess Etna is often paired with him because...honestly there's not much choice for her otherwise.:/ I always thought recruiting Laharl was a...post-game thing since I saw him as a lv 5000.o_o Does he actually speak if you have him in your party by the final battle? Because some Japanese people mentioned that he actually said some pretty awesome things in the novel.

Oh man, that's news to me.x_x I had no idea the deterioration went THAT far...I've seen some theories floating around saying that she mistreats prinnies to help them reincarnate faster, which I could sorta buy into based on D1, but her cameos...just no way.

I heard about his MK appearance. It was really aww for him to even consider avenging his father(I guess he managed to bring himself to forgive Kri, just a little?), but doesn't he kill off Zetta in one of the Game Over endings to completely destroy Baal? idk the circumstances but that seemed sorta...overly aggressive? I haven't gotten past the 15h mark in DI yet(Laharl has exploded like...10 times! I'm starting to feel sorry for him!), but he does seem to stay truer to his D1 self, being visibly worried when he couldn't find Etna for a few hours and really bothered by Flonne's change of outfit.

And before that, Laharl actually thanks Flonne for offering to cure him and apologizes for causing trouble, which Flonne notes was a first.D:(although it made her so excited that she forgot that he was poisoned for a moment, much to Laharl's chagrin XD) Well, she built her own church outside the castle to preach about love and teach kid demons the value of an object by making them into figurine otakus.XD But it's a church, so she might live in the castle....idk, the novel didn't mention a bed in it or anything, just that Flonne keeps a Lamington statue in the altar and a low desk for the demons to work on their figures.

Kira is like a shipper retardant in this book. Every single chapter he goes around telling Etna/Flonne in very convincing words that they really fit Laharl, but then you realize that he got them so jealous of each other they actually started throwing magic around.:/

Oh wow... that.. .snap. XD One of the Etna's I rp'd with once called him that after some stuff happened... except it weirded him out and sounded wrong. |D lol Ah, nope! It is before, but you don't, alas, see him in the final battle or anything since it's an optional recruiting. Etna's only one who appears in the actual story ending. (And does, imho one of the best things she does in the game... shelters Hanako from an attack *A*b)

It gets worse too, I'm afraid. D: In D2 even her and Laharl are just... so I'LL KILL YOU, YOU LITTLE BRAT. YOU FLAT CHESTED SHREW. It just.. realllly comes off more like they're older sister and and annoying little brother. XD It pretty much has killed me shipping them. Flonne, meanwhile, sticks by him for most part. lol

Ah, I don't remember which ending it was... I don't think it was from the same one where he says "WELL time to kill the body." But I'd have to check the script again. (Gamefaqs has the script up with all the endings and dialog. ^^b) And hm he just says he has to destroy Zetta's body so they can really defeat Baal cause he keeps hopping bodies. lmao. It's a bad ending though. And oh awesome! I haven't got DI yet. want so much. ;-;

OHhhhhhhhh okay XD THAT makes sense, lmao. XDDDD And aww Laharl. XD

...Wow.

In the D2 audio drama Flonne convinces Laharl that there's a love triangle going on between Adell and him and Etna, and that's why Etna won't come back home (... which in d2 he wants her to come back to scrub his toliets, apparently. :x But I think this is the abandonment issue at play really.) But yeah... it's pretty hilarious he believes Flonne. Etna just gets caught up in the notion cause she's falling into Etna Next Time mode and seems to think it's HILARIOUS. That's about only reason she seems to let it go on. XD

OH.. and little question a friend is wondering... did the novel give an idea of how old Laharl was when his mama died? :Oa

Oh lol why are the fans so good at predicting stuff?XD In the novel he was like O_O at first, but was actually pretty happy that Etna finally recognized him as a true overlord and said (in a roundabout way) that she won't be actively planning to backstab him anymore....although she still loves the idea of being the overlord. I just watched the ending on nicovideo, and damn, Etna protecting Hanako almost redeemed herself in my eyes! One of the small crowning moments of awesome for her, imho. I also found it hilarious whenever Hanako and Laharl talked to each other, since they're voiced by the same person in the Japanese version.

lol what? How did Adell get involved in this mess!? ~~Stay with Rozalin!XD~~ Is Flonne a shipper on deck or what? Are all the drama CDs this cracked up?

It wasn't mentioned yet, but here's a little snippet of Laharl/Gwen/Flonne interaction:

The two of them walked ahead, side by side. It wasn't long before they were in deep conversation, looking as if they've known each other for a long time. Flonne has never seen Laharl smile so openly as he did now, and she couldn't help but feel a bit estranged.

"Why is Laharl smiling like that? And he's lost his arrogant attitude. I'd prefer him this way!"

Flonne muttered under her breath, unconsciously puffing her cheeks. Laharl turned around and spotted her expression.

"You hold a strange expression. What's wrong?"

"Yes! My face is strange! I'm not pretty, unlike that girl!"

"What are you talking about?" Laharl asked, confused.

"Aren't you scared of mature women?"

"As long as they're not busty, no."

At Laharl's comment, Flonne peeked at the girl in front of them and visibly relaxed. "It's true that she isn't very well endowed."

"What are you guys talking about?" The girl turned around and asked.

"N-nothing." Laharl hurriedly changed the subject. "Right, I haven't introduced myself yet, have I? I am Laharl."

"I'm Flonne."

"I'm Gwen." Flonne was deep in thought after hearing that name, she swore she heard it somewhere before. But Laharl remained unmoved and asked "How old are you?"

Gwen turned around and looked at Laharl.

"Laharl!" Flonne reprimanded Laharl angrily.

"Twenty-four."

"Any children?"

"None."

Flonne poked Laharl's back. "Laharl, it's very rude of you to ask!"

"She doesn't mind."

"Still! That's too direct, don't you think?"

"What? Are you angry?" Gwen didn't understand Flonne's anger.

"Nothing." Flonne closed her mouth.

-skip some lines-

"Is the king inside?" Laharl asked, surprised. Gwen replied with pride, "My king is always on the front lines."

"You too?"

"Of course!"

Laharl turned pale at Gwen's attitude.

"Don't. What if you die in battle?"

Flonne was shocked at his words - it didn't sound like something the ruler of the Netherworld would say, taking pleasure in the death of others might be more fitting.

But isn't caring for others also a show of love?

Flonne happily nodded her head. But somewhere in her heart, she was bothered.

"It's natural to die in battle. Of course, if the king died, I could not imagine how I would live."

Gwen smiled lightly at seeing Laharl's shock, and gently held his hands.

"Is the king that important to you?"

"Yes, he is my everything." Gwen admitted without the slightest hint of embarrassment.

"...I see." Looking crestfallen, Laharl shook his hands out of her grasp and slumped his shoulders.

Gwen lightly patted Laharl's hair. "Too bad, if you were older, I might have to compare you two."

Laharl whole-heartedly felt Gwen's light touch on his messy hair, and muttered in an inaudible voice, "That...will never happen."

Only Flonne heard his lonely voice.

She suddenly felt a searing pain in her chest, and couldn't say a word. Why do I feel such pain? Even she couldn't give an answer.

;_;

Haha We have a knack I guess! XD;;; He was happy but at the time 'Prince' was a bit more familiarly comforting. Any other time he woulda been epic happy. XD And YES. It is hilarious to see Laharl and Hanako talking to eachother, right up there with Marona and Laharl. |D

Haha Adell would love to know how he got dragged in too, I'm sure. XD The dramas range from epic to cracky. XD The D1 ones are my faves.. There's one where Vyers unknowingly at first talks to mama in prinny form we think.. and ahhh there's one Flonne tries to have a recital, but no one comes. ;-; BUT Etna and Laharl turn out to be there and Flonne just starts crying and EPIC GLOMPS Laharl. XD So cute~~~ I could prolly link you to downloads of em', if you'd be interested~ :D

O...Oh my... ahhhhhhhhh!!! *___* Oh Flonne. XD She doesn't realize who-- But Laharl so knows. Oh Laharl. ;-;

S-so much ;_;

(and so much epic appreciation for you sharing this, you have no idea ^_^ )

It gets even more epic in D3 where even Baal is voiced by the same person(apparently Plenair too?)....XD The Japanese weren't kidding when they said N1 loves Laharl's seiyuu.

I think I heard a clip from it once...Flonne was singing something awful, and you can hear Laharl groaning in the background as if he's in some deep pain, then he goes "WON'T YOU STOP IT ALREADY-!?" and general smashing occurs. Aww Vyers talks to prinny mama(who, incidentally, is also voiced by Laharl!) in the drama CDs :O? They sound really interesting, I'd love to have some links.

No problem! Novels are epic stuff, they deserve to be shared.

Kaori Mizuhashi. :3b She does Pram, Culotte and recently Asagi too. XD They really do love her, but she's just SO GOOD. I love her. XD But I especially love her as Laharl.

Yes, that's it. XD Flonne sings him a killing song~ XDb I will pm you. :3 I'm not sure where any pre-uploaded ones are, so I'll toss em' up for you myself. :D

Ah, I was gonna PM you the dramas, but some privacy setting apparently won't let me. Whoops. XD So >.> <.< ...here (http://overlords-wrath.livejournal.com/11307.html). :D

Thanks a bunch~! ~~lol Snagging download links from RP journals. Now THAT'S something I don't get to do every day.~~

I've only listened to the first one, but gosh do they sound like they're having fun. I think I've caught Laharl's voice actor stifling her laughter a few times when he's supposed to be angry.XD

You're welcome! :D ~~LOL I toss all kinds of random stuff into the back of Laharl's journal, for some reason. I have so many backdated hidden posts there lol~~

Oh really? XD I never caught that! I'll have to listen again more closely. XD; I'm usually distracted trying to pick up what's going on. (A bazillion listen throughs later, despite not knowing exactly what they say, I do have a pretty good idea what's happening in all of them. It's kinda astounding how much you can figure out!) But YES, they definitely seem to have fun with the dramas!

Is Flonne being jealous of Laharl's mom? Or is it just because she doesn't realize who she is, because it's kinda strange if she did.

Sounds to me like Flonne hasn't put two and two together. XD

Ouch, she's going to feel bad once she does.

Though... there's Flonne for you XD.

Yeaaaah. |D Oh Flonne---

...WHy are you suddenly on that journal. ...USING THAT ICON?!? a;oisjda;io

~~You just answered your own question.~~

What? I wanted to get on the RP journal fun too~

~~S-so cruel ;-;~~

Lol... I've been tagging stuff and was too lazy to switch between this and my personal. XD

BEING ON THAT JOURNAL IS DANGEROUS THOUGH.

She's definitely jealous, but at that point she didn't know who Gwen was, so she just considers her to be this random girl that Laharl seems to get along with.
