Say Hello to Geoffrey [Completed]

Character(s): Geoffrey and Yorda
Content: Geoffrey's arrival at Paixao City
Setting: Muspelheim
Time: Beginning of the night.
Warnings: None.

How strange…

Geoffrey never stepped a foot on this place before.

This didn’t look like any netherworld he had seen before either. No. This is not a netherworld at all. There are humans around.

He just stays quiet wondering what happened and how he got here, Geoffrey never felt so deeply confused. The old butler looks back trying to find a clue and sees a fancy gate decorated with golden flames. He sighs.

Geoffrey then changes his sight to the squared electronic device that was handed to him just a few moments ago. It seems to be working rather well, however, is mind is too occupied with his master to explore the gadget more.

Geoffrey needs to go back to him quickly.
This was not in his plans at all.

She was restless. It wasn't rare for Yorda to wander the city, taking in the sights she already knew so well, but tonight, for some reason, she lingered near one of the gates, wondering if perhaps she shouldn't go and look for Mao. She was worried about him; what if he got hungry or cold, or tired? Of course, Mao was much stronger than that, but it didn't stop the princess from noticing.

As she looked at the gate, trying to decide, she noticed a man with pointed ears, white hair and glasses like Mao and walked up to him curiously. "Who are you?" she asked, remembering what Mao had told her. "Are you a demon?"

Geoffrey looked at the pale girl in front of him. She could be his chance of getting out of here, so he politely answered:

“My name is Geoffrey. Yes, I’m a demon. Do not be afraid please, I mean no harm…” he then proceeded “I just want to know where I am. I need to leave this place as soon as possible! I have matters I must attend to, you see.”

This girl was very different from the people walking around the city so he hoped she knew something.

"I am not afraid of demons," Yorda told the strange man in front of her with a smile. Why would she be afraid of someone, simply because of demonic heritage? The girl didn't know the rumors and stories that flew around in other worlds regarding them, much less here. She frowned a little. "No one has been able to leave this place. I do not know why." And even though Yorda didn't mind, many others seemed to.

"My name is Yorda."

“You’re not?!”

Odd. All humans Geoffrey knew were afraid of demons…. That is, most of them.

“If you want an good advice, Miss Yorda, you should fear them. They’re dangerous creatures. I mean, we, we are dangerous!”

The butler looked at the floor. “No one has been able to leave you say… well, I will eventually find a way sooner or later.”

Guess his plans are going to be delayed again, what a bore!
Geoffrey started to think about the ghost that has been silently haunting the Evil Academy… Was he responsible for what’s happening? Impossible…

It wasn't easy to miss in the dark; Yorda wasn't human to begin with. From the slightly-pointed ears to the glow she constantly emitted, it was easy to see that Yorda was anything but human. "I am not afraid," she repeated, a gentle smile on her face. "The people I love the most are demons." At least, Urd was half-demon, and Mao was fully one. "There is no reason I should fear them." Wait, hadn't the strange man included himself? He didn't seem fearsome at all.

"You cannot leave," she continued, "but sometimes people disappear. I have heard they return to their own worlds." Yorda, meanwhile, very much did not want to go back; she had finally been able to enjoy life, and she was sure she would die once she returned.

The butler took a second careful look at the girl. She was glowing like the moon… was she a demon too? It couldn’t be, the aura she emitted was certainly different. Besides, he met many strange looking humans through his life... Geoffrey started to suspect that Yorda was some kind of ghost.

Furthermore she spoke about loving demons the most! Loving demons?! She was crazy!

He continued to speak without showing any signs of changing emotions.
“I’m surprised that there are demons living here. This place looks rather peaceful. Could you enlighten me more on the subject? What kind of demons are there?"

As Geoffrey stared at Yorda, Yorda stared right back. She was used to being stared at, and didn't mind. Furthermore, she had not yet learned that staring was generally considered to be rude. After a moment's thought regarding the stranger's question, she spoke. "It is mostly peaceful here," she answered, "but sometimes Heartless appear in the city. They are very dangerous. You should be careful."

Another pause, and she continued. "I do not know what kind of demons are here," she answered, "but there are many." Perhaps if he asked around on the message board, he would learn, but Yorda hadn't even realized there were kinds of demons.

"Thank you but you don't need to worry about me, Miss Yorda, I can fend myself." He was still a great warrior after all. The one who will slay the most evil overlord in the universe to keep his glory shining.

The situation was starting to look troublesome. Geoffrey needed to get back to Mao as soon as possible. What was he doing now? Was he keeping up with the specific indications Geoffrey gave him or was that pesky delinquent around him again?

Maybe it should be better to calm down and explore the city further, looking for a way to get out.
"It's no good for a young girl to stay out in the darkness like this. Are you by yourself? Where do you live?"

Yorda nodded. Many of the people in this city were strong, much stronger than she was. Although when it came right down to it, she could defend herself, she didn't yet know how to control her power. "I am glad," came the reply. She didn't like it when people got hurt.

"I live in the hospital," she told him. "And I do not live alone. I live with Mao." He'd made her his lab assistant, and he sometimes ran tests on her, as harmless as they were, trying to discover the source of her "bioluminescence", as he called it.

And she made him cookies.

...

Did Geoffrey hear the name Mao? Great. Now his hears were playing tricks on him. It was too good to be true!

Well, it could me another person named Mao so Geoffrey tried not to get too excited.

“Excuse me? Did you just said the person you lived with is named Mao? Could you describe him for me, please?”

"Yes. His name is Mao," Yorda said with a nod. "He is a little shorter than I am," she explained, "And he has white hair and red eyes." Now, what had he called those odd, shiny things he wore in front of his eyes? She couldn't remember. "He likes to experiment on things." Sometimes he even had Yorda help, though he never let her touch his chemicals.

Perfect. Just perfect.
His little pet was here too. How did he manage to get here? That doesn't matter now. Fortunately, getting back to the Evil Academy is not a concern anymore. Geoffrey was smiling behind his beard.

"How intriguing! Does he have a red jacket too? Hmhmhmhm!" he spoke amused. "By the way, I work for him. I'm his loyal butler."

Strangely, Mao was living with this girl. Since when? Geoffrey hopes that she didn't mess up with his work though.

"And between you and me you should keep away from my young master. He's very mean."

"He has a red jacket," answered Yorda. She blinked up at Geoffrey, not quite understanding. "What is a butler?" She wondered if butler was just another word for laboratory assistant, but no. Wouldn't Geoffrey have admitted as much if it were so? The princess merely stared at Geoffrey again, unfazed by his attempt at manipulation. "If Mao tells me he does not want me around, I will go," she said simply. "But we have been living together for awhile, and he has not asked me to leave yet." She knew a good deal of Mao's ways, by now; even when he was in his bad moods, she simply waited for him to finish sulking and saw that he was taken care of.

Mao definitely was here. Geoffrey needed to find him. Perhaps he could use the electronic device to reach him since talking to this girl isn't going anywhere.

He expected that Mao hasn't forgotten his lectures. Albeit Mao's trauma made sure he didn't deviate from the evil path that Geoffrey planned for the young boy he was prepared for the worst and even recurred to the use of drugs to make Mao just the way he wanted. A evil, perverse, heartless demon.

Geoffrey just hoped that this girl didn't get in his way. He decided to keep up with his role a little longer to get more details.

"A butler is a person that takes care of the welfare of a person. A servant." he spoke slowly. "As you see, it's a very important role, that's why I would like go back to my master."

Yorda, while not knowing what Geoffrey was doing, had every intention of staying by Mao's side. Even someone as naive as she was could see he was lonely, and needed someone with him. She would gladly welcome Geoffrey, as she believed he meant no harm and wished to help. Mao needed more friends around him, even if he didn't want to admit it.

"Then, perhaps I am also a butler," Yorda pondered aloud. For all that Mao knew more of the world than Yorda did and often explained things to her, in his blunt, impatient way, Yorda usually ended up making sure Mao ate and went to sleep at reasonable hours, cleaning up after him and working to cheer him up. She didn't mind; wasn't that what was supposed to happen when helping someone else?

"No, miss Yorda, butler is a word used for men. You're a maid at best."

What's going on? Was this girl always oblivious like this? Even better, it would be far easier to trick her and get her out of his path than he thought!

"So tell me, Miss Yorda" he proceeded "How has the young master been behaving? Has he been fulfilling his honor student duties?"

"What is a maid?" Yorda asked Geoffrey, oblivious to the insult as well as his condescending manner. Perhaps it was a good thing she had still maintained her sheltered view of the world, in a way; had the girl been able to recognize his tone, she likely would have been very hurt.

"What are his duties?" she asked, never mind that she had learned her questions sometimes bothered someone. She decided to elaborate. "He is very proud of being an honor student. I think he has been doing well." There. Maybe that would help.

Geoffrey sighed. This was going to take a long time...
"Oh, it's a female servant... You know what a servant is, right?" he then adjusted his glasses. "Let me explain to you what his duties are." His voice started to sound excited. "My young master is the son of a great evil Overlord. It is his duty to take his father place and to be the most ruthless vicious Overlord to grace the netherworld. A true demon!"

Yorda nodded. "Yes," she replied. "Laharl explained it to me." It occurred to her that Geoffrey might not know who Laharl was, but if necessary, she could explain. At Geoffrey's explanation, however, Yorda drew back a little. "I do not think he will," Yorda replied, though she was growing a little afraid. "He is very nice. He kidnapped me when I needed help." It hadn't occurred to her yet that it hadn't been a real kidnapping, what with Mao's insistence that it was only a kidnapping and nothing more.

"Help? He helped you?!" Geoffrey couldn't believe it. "It seems I need to contact him as soon as possible."

Geoffrey almost forgot the squared device he had in his hand. He looked at it.

"Tell me, do you know what's the purpose of this?" the butler showed the strange object to her.

"Yes," Yorda answered, liking the butler less and less at every moment. "He has done a lot to help me." She looked at his journal. Even if he made her uneasy, he hadn't actually tried to harm her (and seemed to have no intent of doing so), and he did seem to need help. "That is a journal," she replied. "You can ask questions and contact people with it."

Finally this girl was starting to be useful! This means she could speak with the disobedient boy through this Journal device.

"Miss Yorda, excuse me but I have to go now. Thank you for the information, it will be very useful to me." Geoffrey abandoned the girl, unconcerned about what could happen to her or what she had to say.
He needed to start to plot his next moves.

Yorda nodded, not making any move to stop him. Honestly, it was a relief; she did not want to return home and have him follow her, even though Mao wasn't there at the moment. Mao's true duty was to become an evil Overlord? It worried the girl, even though she trusted Mao completely. More than that; Yorda believed in him. As soon as Geoffrey was out of sight, Yorda turned and ran in the direction of St. Destino Hospital.

She had forgotten her journal, and she needed to warn Mao about this man.
