It’s been a couple of days, and it appears that there haven’t been any new comments since I finally followed Jennifer’s path. Oh well, doods; guess I’ll just make my own choices until someone speaks up!
Starting off, just to get it out of the way ASAP, I’m curious as to what happened to the last member of Captain Gordon’s team, the invaluable robot Thursday. After the original scene is over and done with, it seems that Thursday (and the dood possessing him) are now in the shop. Noticing something interesting, he gets out of the way of a chase scene between Flonne and Mao. Come to think of it, it was right about now that a crazed Thursday knocked Mao right out of the building in the original timeline at this very location…
Getting back on track, Mao apparently wants to dissect Flonne first, and analyze the concept of ‘love’ later. Thursday quickly identifies Mao as a character matching all the physical characteristics of the delivery boy his allies are looking for (well, at least a 98.88% match), and then Flonne comes and tells us that we saved her…despite not having done anything to Mao yet. On cue, Mao comes into the scene and recognizes Thursday as the honest-to-goodness real deal, which means that he’d delivered his package to the bona-fide Jennifer. Two thought bubbles pop out of his head in a sprite event; one with Captain Gordon’s team posing in front of the Earth, and one with Fallen Angel-style Flonne standing next to a pile of defeated Prinnies holding an evil-looking sword.
Mao: A fallen angel and a group of heroes…This place is like a treasure chest! *huff* *huff* …! *drool*
Flonne’s even more worried now, but Thursday’s focused on getting Jennifer’s proper package, which the Angel-In-Training takes as a cue to leave everything to him. Thursday questions her logic, but Flonne just says “That’s how it is!” and runs like the wind. Mao decides to prioritize on the robot, and uses the Disgaea 3 game play mechanic of Magichange to easily capture Thursday. Mao asks himself how he should start experimenting, and Prinny’s a little worried about this unexpected accident. Cue credits! …By the way, according to the guide I occasionally read, this abrupt ending doesn’t get us any bonuses.

Next time I start from 13 o’clock, I decide to begin by possessing Thursday again, but switch to Flonne the first chance that I get. At 15 o’clock, we encounter Etna in the Hall, who asks if Flonne looks so freaked because of something Laharl did. Flonne corrects her by saying that the cause is far more important: like Etna, she didn’t get the package she ordered, and she got chased by the delivery boy when trying to exchange it.
Etna: So he’s still around here, then? I’ll catch him and pull his entrails out of his nostrils!
Flonne: You’re so brutal and dependable, Miss Etna!
Etna: You aren’t gonna try to stop me?
Flonne: This is no time for lecturing! He’s ruined all of our fun! It’s only fair we make him sorry.
…Uh, Flonne? Removing his organs is more than ‘making him sorry’. Then again, Mao’s probably one of the few demons that would enjoy watching himself dissected…remind me, doods, what’s the age demographic of this series again? Imagery like that sure as heck ain’t for kids, dood…
Back to recapping the story, Etna asks what Flonne got instead of her DVD. The love freak replies that it was just an old bottle with a tag saying “A must-have item from the world Ivoire”. Etna’s further examinations of the product’s tag let us know that it can suck in anything, that it can be used to send letters, and that it’s a “Limited Netherworld Version”. Etna then says…well…
Etna: Interesting. Mind if I take a look at it? Not that I have a bottle fetish or anything.
TickTock: [Etna grabs the old bottle from Flonne! She has a vaguely perverted grin on her face, too!]

Flonne, completely ignoring some of the possible implications of Etna’s actions, asks for the bottle back so that she can exchange it. Etna decides to just exchange the bottle for the package that she received, AKA Thursday’s extra fuel pack. So now the question is this: just how did the fuel pack get from Flonne’s pockets to Laharl’s mouth?
Etna: Well, should I try to suck the Prince into this bottle? Hmhm-ha ha ha!
…Well, that’s…ominous. Chekhov's Gun, anyone? Even the Prinny Diary now has an entry saying that we could probably forget about this whole pudding crisis if he was sucked into the bottle. It’s not the most twisted thing that I can imagine you could do with such a bottle (say, sucking in most of the Sea of Gehenna and then flooding the entire castle), but still a rather cruel thing to do to any guy.
And on that morbid note, let’s end this update! According to our timetable, this is the scene in which Jennifer ran into Flonne back on Page 13 of this Liveblog. Since she hasn’t appeared yet, I suppose that means we’ll run into her after Etna leaves. So, do we possess Etna now while we have the chance, continue possessing Flonne and see what happens to her, or swap from Flonne to Jennifer, and then to Laharl when the time comes to see how he blew himself up? Leave your comments below, doods!
Other No. 56 – What is an Overlord?
The highest rank of Overlord is Badass Overlord, then Demon God, then Overlord.
Some of the known characters are:
- Badass Overlord: Baal
- Demon God: Zenon
- Overlord: Laharl, Zetta, Pram, Chairman of Evil Academy, etc…
Demon Lord is the same as Overlord, or lower.
You can earn the title by defeating the title holder. Therefore, these title holders are almost always being attacked.
Badass Overlord Baal is feared as the most powerful in all the Netherworlds, but he’s not seen very often. Many travel around the Netherworlds to find the Badass Overlord.
You can also proclaim a title whenever. However, these pseudo-titles may not be taken even if the proclaimed title holder is defeated in battle.
