The 4th Cycle - Out of Time, Out of Mind, dood!

Part 1

Medinoc: I'm more interested in the "wrong package" Flonne received, but I have to admit, Laharl acted Too Dumb to Live here. Mistaking an unstable material for food, seriously? That's what I'd expect from Luffy.

Swingyshark: After the previous update, I now imagine you as some sort of Meta-Prinny, breaking the fourth wall to play and LB your own game, Endark. I'm also really tempted to start an LB of Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure just to add to the NIS-ity, but keeping up with the two I have open is hard enough. Also, for the lulz, how about defining 'Laharl'? I'm curious to see what the Database has to say about him.

Thanks a lot for the compliment, dood! As for Rhapsody, go for it if you wanna, but try not to multitask too many things. You try to juggle too many balls, and they’ll end up crashing down on your head. Oh, and the following bit of dialogue happens at 7 o’clock this time around, dood.

Ghost Prinny: [This is all because Lord Laharl ate what wasn’t even his, dood…I can’t believe our salary gets cut because of that! …Not like Lord Laharl would care even if I cried about it like this, dood. I’ll just have to stop the explosion!]

TickTock: [I know you can do it, probably! All Mind Control work performed will reset if you go back in time again. Knowing that, you should be careful.]

Ghost Prinny: [So…I’m still destined to fall out of the castle right now?! Awesome, dood! I got it!]

8 o’clock goes the same way they did last time, except that I choose for Laharl to think that our comatose body is actually dead, dood. In the event, the Prinny body just topples onto its side, and all of the colours get inverted. By the way, the next bit of text is automatic, so it took a few reloads to get everything written down.

Laharl: C, could he be…dead?! Dude, this is a crime scene! (Picture of Etna shooting a Prinny, while a large white anthropomorphic cat watches nearby) Overlord Catle Mysteries: Prinny’s Grudge! (Grainy picture of TickTock) The secret of a forgotten pocket watch…(Pic of two Prinnies in a field) An escape attempt’s tragic end…Season Premiere at 9, 8 Central! W, what the hell’m I saying?! Whatever! Forget the Prinnies! I’ll find that pudding myself…Get ready for my unstoppable resolve, Etna! Heh. Hehehe…Haaaah-ha ha ha ha ha!

The time turns to 9, we meet Captain Gordon again, and I tell him not to clean Laharl’s room this time. After all, that’s where the fuel pack landed when Thursday when nuts. And even if Thursday goes bonkers again, at least it won’t land in the Prince’s stuff if he’s not in the room, dood!

Laharl: (Thrusts fist towards Captain Gordon) Don’t go into his, er, my bedroom, dude! (Hearts in Laharl’s eyes, plus a picture of a Prinny in a giant heart near his head) I, uh, command the Prinny be left to sleep peacefully, until further notice, dude!

Captain Gordon: Wh, What’s the matter, Overlord Laharl?! You speak as if you’ve been poisoned!

Laharl: What? No! I’m probably bombarded by those stupidwaves your pathetic aura emits. I’m outta here.

TickTock: [Laharl’s confliction emotions confused him!]

Laharl leaves, but since I jumped to Captain Gordon as soon as that event started, this hour isn’t over yet.

Thursday: BEEP, BEEP, BLIP, BEEP. AWAITING COMMANDS, GORDON. END INVESTIGATION PROTOCOL?

Captain Gordon: What? Uh, well…

A mind control option pops up. Good thing we chose Captain Gordon over Thursday, or we’d probably end up going to Laharl’s room anyways. The options are to say that the Prinny’s sleeping, that Thursday’s broken, or that we should start investigating in the Throne room first. I pick that last one, and finally unlock the Database entry on the room we’re currently in.

“DATABASE: Throne Room” has been added!

Captain Gordon: We’re not going to that bedroom, dude! We’re gonna go to this room instead!

Thursday: BEEP, BEEP, BLIP, BEEP. GORDON’S ACTIONS ARE MALIGNED, TOO. (Thursday projects an image of three Hellcats, Gordon, and a black version of the anthropomorphic cat eating fish out of pet bowls) DID HE EAT SOMETHING NUTRITIONALLY POOR?

Captain Gordon: I always eat healthy, but even so, this is weird. There might be some kind of power in this room causing this phenomenon. Let’s investigate…this room first.

TickTock: [Gordon investigated the Throne Room!]

“DATABASE: Scavenger” has been added!

The time turns to 10, we’re still in the Throne Room, and Thursday’s scanners haven’t picked up anything. I quickly check the Time Table, and while Captain Gordon and Jennifer’s chasing after Thursday is still destined, the meeting where Thursday goes haywire is gone. Another scene that’s gone is “Prince Boom”, though I’ve got a feeling that he’ll still get blown up today, dood. Also, the scene we’re in right now is called “Hero v Etna”.

So, Captin Gordon’s worried about dulling hero senses since they couldn’t detect anything in the room, but Thursday’s hero radar indicates that he hasn’t changed a bit. They keep searching, and then Captain Gordon requests to speak with Etna when she walks into the room.

Etna: Ugh! After all my effort to ignore you and pass by with my boiling, bottled rage…Really. Get a clue, Gordito.

Captain Gordon: [What’s with that attitude towards a hero?! This bi…wait, no…no, calm down, Gordon. She’s a child. I must be nice to her.]

“DATABASE: Gentleman” has been added!

So, Captain Gordon asks about suspicious activity in the area, but the weirdest things Etna’s seen today are the two interviewing her. Captain Gordon says that maybe they picked the wrong person to talk to. Etna replies by saying she may have had something juicy, but now she doesn’t want to talk about. Captain Gordon calls her a Wandering Beauty and tries to apologize, and Etna tells him that one of the flames in the room has an evil aura and wants to do away with justice. Captain Gordon falls for it hook, line, and sinker.

As the clock rolls to 11, Captain Gordon tries to hit the flame with a Gordon Punch…which TickTock narrates, for some reason. Of course, he gets his hand burned, and Thursday confirms that it’s just a regular fire seconds later. Captain Gordon thinks that this just means that the evil thing’s no longer cloaked, and tries to get it to reveal itself. Captain Gordon checks the other flames, while TickTock and Ghost Prinny mention how pathetic this situation is.

“DATABASE: Gordon [skill name]!” has been added!

It’s now high noon (12), the time table lists the next scene as “Super Thursday 2”, Jennifer’s going to be coming in soon, and Captain Gordon’s about to Gordon Punch another flame. And sorry to say, doods, but I think this is where the update ends. Taking a peek back at the guides, there’s something special we need to do soon if we ever wanna reach the second half of the game. And rather than put choices up and let you doods guess which is the right one, I think it’ll be more efficient if I just Rail Road the campaign for a bit. But hopefully, I’ll update again by the day’s end, and you’ll get plenty of things to choose from!

Character No. 1 – Laharl

  • Gender: Male
  • Age: 1313
  • Height: 135 cm
  • Weight: 38 kg (w/scarf)
  • Likes: Himself
  • Dislikes: Love, kindness, and sexy bodies
Main character of Disgaea: Hour of Darkness. Former Overlord, Krichevskoy, is his father. He lives selfishly and he is the best. He became an Overlord after overcoming many obstacles, but he still gets called Prince. Recently, his personality has rounded out a little more. Apparently, he has a very embarrassing secret that he’s never told.

NEW DATABASE TERMS: Throne Room, Scavenger, Gentleman, Gordon [skill name]!

Part 2

Swingyshark: I love how Tick Tock is only partially supportive of Ghost Prinny. And for some reason, as soon as I saw the line about Laharl's emotions, I immediately thought of: "Laharl’s conflicting emotions confused him! He hurt himself in his confusion!" He'd make a good Pokemon, I think. But, really looking forward to the next update~ This LB is getting very interesting.

Note: You'll notice that the word 'here' in the below paragraph, which would normally indicate a link, is currently plain text. This is simply because I don't want to risk using HTML here. In case you're curious, it led to a page on a webside called Siliconera, and focused on two PSN mascots that were downloadable characters for Disgaea 3 in Japan.

Time for the third update of the day, doods! In case anyone’s wondering, my throat’s still a little sore, but some rest and medicine is probably doing me a world of good. Oh, and those giant cats that I mentioned? Read here for more information on them.

Back with Captain Gordon and Thursday, the Netherworld Hero manages to punch out a flame in a sprite event, but a tiny bit survives and engulfs his entire body in flame. Our player characters still can’t believe how pathetic this is. And then Jennifer walks into the scene with Thursday’s Power-Up Unit. This plays out a lot like the original Super Thursday scene in Laharl’s room, including Captain Gordon being happy that the room’s going to be cleaned up faster. Go figure; I had no idea that the Throne Room was even half as dirty as Laharl’s room…Anyways, doods, the main difference is that Jennifer doesn’t trip over anything when she installs the thing into Thursday, and thus doesn’t get stuck inside.

Captain Gordon: Whoa…! The power-up unit is getting installed into Thursday…I wonder…could “installing” be…innuendo?!

I certainly hope not, Captain Gordon. Thursday goes on to talk like a normal person, and then ejects a fuel pack + random junk in a sprite event. The fuel pack lands on Captain Gordon with enough force to bury him partly in the ground. Hey, better here than Laharl’s room, right doods?

The scene at 13 o’clock is called “Odd Parts”, and a Prinny walks in. Apparently, this is the same Prinny that’ll tell Laharl that he last saw Etna in the bedroom. Methinks that this is a bad sign, dood, so I possess him ASAP. Captain Gordon and Jennifer say quick hello and goodbyes, while this new Prinny notices the thing that came out of Thursday…and decides to take it. This nets us a new definition, and two new diary enties: “The mysterious object is probably the fuel pack. I realized it looks exactly like the pudding, dood.”, and “The pudding Lord Laharl gobbled up was probably the fuel pack, dood…”.

“DATABASE: Thursday’s Body Part” has been added!

The time goes to 14, and this new Prinny mentions under his breath that he needs a stiff drink. Laharl walks in and asks about Etna, and our Prinny has no clue. Laharl notices the fuel pack he’s holding, and swipes it out of his hands…er, flippers, dood.

Laharl: This must be Etna’s Super Rare Pudding! You’ve done it! This is me praising you!

Prinny: What? Seriously, dood? Uh, thanks, dood.

The time’s now 15 o’clock, which I’ve come to know as the hour of reckoning. The scene’s called “Prince Boom 2”, takes place in the Throne Room, and both Laharl and the new Prinny are involved. Laharl gloats about how he’s better than Etna, chuckles, gives out a louder laugh, bites down, and explodes.

Ghost Prinny: [Gimme a break, doooood!]

TickTock: [At least now we know that Thursday’s part caused the explosion. I’ll cheer for you next time, as well!]

Time reqinds back to 7, and we get a new diary entry. Instead of the usual green, or the black they become after reading them once, these new entries are coloured red! Clearly, dood, this new information deserves being on separate lines.

“I have to prevent Jennifer from tripping at the Throne Room. Then she’ll stop Thursday’s rampage, dood!”

“First I’ll Mind Control Lord Laharl…then Possess Gordon, dood. I won’t let Gordon go to the bedroom!”

You know those are smart ideas…familiar-sounding smart ideas. We did those exact things last time, dood! ...Perhaps, if we want the madness to stop, we should jump to Etna after getting Captain Gordon to investigate the throne room, followed by jumping to Jennifer. And from there…eh, we’ll probably figure something out along the way.

Prinny Ghost: [Re-do, dood! Mulligan…load! I’ll stop Lord Laharl from exploding this time around, for sure!]

Well, you seem to be pumped…but we don’t want the madness to stop quite yet, do we, viewers? We’ve still got to find out if Flonne ever finds that delivery boy, how to unlock Ending #1, and what to do to unlock Ending #13 later in the game! Now, the only characters we haven’t followed to 15 o’clock yet are Flonne, Etna, and our original body. Pick one, viewer doods, and let’s get ready to rumble!

Other No. 43 – Gentleman

A perfect, elite demon royal with education and knowledge that would make a grown man cry. This chosen one will attract all female demon royals and be surrounded by them everyday. This is known as the “Royal Harem” in underground information networks. It’s also a prerequisite to be a total hottie.
