Episode 20: A Stitch in Time [Voice Post]

[fail_assassin]

[BZZZAP!] Ouch! Ooh... I'm sorry for neglecting you, Mr. Communicator!

I didn't think that I would end up getting so preoccupied with things, and... well... The time just passed me by.

Actually, it seems like a whole lot has happened since the last time I recorded an entry. Though, it is hard to remember everything that happened before, and I have this strange feeling of deja vu sometimes... B-but the important thing is that everything worked out in the end. Somehow. The monsters that were attacking the city before are gone now, and I think we can owe alot to everyone who worked hard to protect this city and the people living here. I know this comes a little late, but... Thank you very much, everyone!

Hmmm... What else?

The Prinnies and I are doing just fine. Though sometimes they seem a bit apprehensive... I wonder what went wrong?

...Huh? That's strange. It feels like I'm forgetting something important. [...] Oh well. Maybe it will come back to me later.

[[ooc That something is this, actually. (Anastasia, you are free to nag me on this, now that I have a more cooperative muse.)]]

They couldn't spend it.

[fail-assassin.livejournal.com]

That's true.

But in the Netherworld, the money they earn goes toward their reincarnation!

[rules_the_north]

How?

[fail-assassin.livejournal.com]

Well, they earn money by performing labor in the Netherworld, or through doing good deeds in Celestia.

Once they've saved enough to be atoned for the sins they committed in their past lives, the Prinnies are reincarnated by the time of Red Moon.

It's a very bittersweet ritual, but... I can't be anything but happy for those Prinnies that earned the right to be reborn again.

[rules_the_north]

There is not proper afterlife in your world?

[fail-assassin.livejournal.com]

N-not everyone becomes a Prinny when they die, Mr. Sweden...

[That would flood the entire universe with the word "dood"!]

[rules_the_north]

What happens to everyone else?

[fail-assassin.livejournal.com]

You know... I'm not completely sure.

The Seraph would probably know more about what happens to the humans and other beings in Celestia, but I haven't met or talked with many of them personally to know for certain.

I'm sorry.

[rules_the_north]

Is there a hell?

[fail-assassin.livejournal.com]

Oh! That's another name for the Netherworld, isn't it?

[rules_the_north]

No angels there.

[fail-assassin.livejournal.com]

No. Only demons.

[rules_the_north]

Been there?

[fail-assassin.livejournal.com]

Well, I am Fallen. But that's skipping ahead...

I was sent to the Netherworld as an Angel Trainee on an important mission given to me by Master Lamington!

[rules_the_north]

What mission?

[1/2]

[fail-assassin.livejournal.com]

To assassinate the Overlord of the Netherworld, King Krichevskoy.

The story behind her usename.

[fail-assassin.livejournal.com]

...But I failed.

I blew my cover right away.

/hugs her

[rules_the_north]

Why did they send you? [Baffled, worried, angry. How could they send a girl like her.]

D'awww.

[fail-assassin.livejournal.com]

I-I'm... not exactly sure, but...

[.....]

I think that when everything was said and done, Master Lamington really believed that this was something that only I could do.

[rules_the_north]

You had no help?

[fail-assassin.livejournal.com]

Not at first.

But then I met Laharl, Etna, the Prinnies... everyone! From the Netherworld and even the human world, I was able to make a lot of wonderful friends!

[rules_the_north]

Not in heaven?

[fail-assassin.livejournal.com]

Well, no... Not after I returned to Celestia.

Master Vulcanus had convinced the Celestial Host that I was a traitor who wanted to wage war on Celestia using demons, and that I was to be executed.

He wouldn't listen to reason, and even tried to keep me from speaking with the Seraph.

[rules_the_north]

But you survived. [At least he hopes that. He knows that there are people here that will be dead when they return home.]
