[Flonne stumbles onto the Plane, giving a surprised gasp as she looks around] Ah! This isn’t--! Oh, my. Did the Gate Keeper send me to the Stellar Graveyard by mistake? But it doesn’t look the same… It doesn’t feel like the Netherworld at all.

[Her high heels click as she walks forward and calls] Laharl-san? Etna-san? Are you here? Hello? Is there anyone there?

…It looks like I’m alone here. Maybe this has to do with that new shop. Demons have such a strange sense of humour sometimes, so this could all be a joke.

[She looks more relaxed this time as she looks at the stars, a warm smile on her face] But this place is so beautiful. I feel so close to the stars. It can’t be a joke. But I wonder where I am. I better find out fast before everyone wonders where I am!

I'm Kougaiji. [He nods once.] This is your first time on the Plane, then?

It's nice to meet you, Kougaiji-san. [she nods in return] Yes! I've never been here before. Does this happen often? It's beautiful here.

As far as I can tell, this is how this place always is. And you can come here whenever you like.

That seems very nice. It reminds me of a place in the Netherworld but the stars there are all dying... This place feels so much more alive.

[onetrueprince]

I don't know that I would call it alive, myself. But it's certainly... real. [Just don't ask how long it took for him to readily admit that.]

What exactly is the Netherworld? I have never heard of such a thing.

The Netherworld is the home of all demons. The universe is divided into three realms. There's the realm of angels, which is Celestia. Then there's the human world and lastly there is the Netherworld. Until recently, travel between the realms was only for certain purposes. But everyone is growing more willing to accept each other now.

Angels? .... And, humans and demons are... accepting each other? [Silence as he just sort of dwells on that for a bit.]

[aimania.livejournal.com]

Not all of them accept each other... There's still a lot of prejudice to overcome. The gate was up for as long as I've been alive. And most angels believed the demons to be pure evil. But I believe we're making progress in loving each other.

[onetrueprince]

I see.

In my world, there are no angels. The humans and the Youkai -- demons -- don't agree. It wasn't always that way, however, but I have my doubts that we can ever go back to any form of... wary coexistence.

Humans dislike demons as well. They consider angels to be better, I think. But angels are just as biased against demons. Master Lamington said that long ago, everyone was at peace with each other. I want that to be our future.

... I doubt those of my world care to live in peace. It would be nice, but it would take some form of compromise or change in attitude that most aren't willing to accept at this time.

I see. Perhaps in time they will learn to accept each other. If even one person wants to build a better world, then there is hope. It may take years but I believe it is possible.
