Hazuki rushed around aimlessly, still trying to remember what it was she was supposed to be doing. She knew it had something to do with Prinnies, or was it dragons? She fiercely gripped long magenta hair with slim, long-nailed fingers as she crumpled to the rocky floor beneath her.
"Oh no. Oh no. Prince Laharl will be angry with me again if I don't finish my task!" She furiously shook her head, her sharp nails digging into her scalp so roughly they drew blood and she finally looked up, peering through disheveled strands of hair as she heard a familiar "Dood!" come from around the corner.
"Prinnies!" Hazuki clambered to her feet and rushed around the corner, coming into view of several prinnies playing a game of cards. "Prinnies! I need your help! What did Laharl tell me to do earlier?!" Her eyes were wide, her voice frantic and her heart sank as the prinnies continued their game, not seeming to notice her presence.
"HEY! I'M TALKING TO YOU!" Her voice was now a shrill cry as she was running out of time, it had been hours since the prince had sent her on her task and she still had no recollection of what it was.
"Dood!" One of the prinnies exclaimed, finally taking notice of her. "We're playing here, can you go scream somewhere else, Dood?" His beady black eyes bore into her as she pouted and spun around in irritation, cracking her face right off of the wall ; only to wake up in a daze several minutes later by way of a familiar irritating laughter.

Ersatz slowly strolled up to Hazuki's position, continually pressing the "Go" button on his newest creation - a Psychic Terror Generator. He just wasn't sure why it kept generating what sounded like getting run down by a bus full of clowns.
Tripping over her and ripping the head off his Clever Disguisomatic 3000, he gave a hearty "Dood!" as both his heads, false and real hit the floor of the castle. Ersatz quickly hopped up and put the head of his prinny-sized prinny suit on. "Passed out, Dood!? Stressed out on the job? Work got you down? I've got what you NEED, dood!"
Ersatz always acted to impress, and after a minute of working with it, managed to pull a suitcase larger than himself out of his bag. After fussing with the fasteners of the suitcase, it popped open, again containing an alarming quantity of shiny things of all shapes and sizes. "Anything catch your eye, dood!?"

"Turn that thing off!" Hazuki squealed, covering her ears with her hands. The irritating sound had been what Hazuki expected, Ersatz and his infernal racket-making machines. She sat up from her crumpled position on the floor, moving a hand from her ear to her forehead as she pouted from the dull ache generated by it's previous collision with the wall.
"No, I am not passed out silly! I ran into the wall!" She nodded her head in punctuation of the statement, her eyes wide and still surprised at the sudden impact she had made with the sturdy palace structure. She tried not to giggle at the prinny who was always full of surprises and her eyes suddenly lit up as he pulled out a suitcase and popped it open before her.
"Ooooh... What's this?!" She reached her hand out, snatching up the shiniest object in the suitcase and raised it to her eyes; studying it in amazement.

"Dood! The legendary spear, the Tines of Justice! It only shines in the hand of a true demon, dood! It has the power to grant hidden wishes and slay your true foes, dood, and I'll sell it to you at the bargain price of ... 1,000,000 Hel!"
Ersatz realized then who he was talking to. "... We also accept IOUs and rainchecks, dood! And for hitting your head, dood, we have HeadOn! Apply directly to the forehead!" Ersatz pulled a small roll-on stick of balm out of his pack and tossed it at her. "Free with the tines, dood! I'm barely pulling even, here!"
Ersatz looked around for anybody else in the castle...
(OOC: Tines of Justice being, of course, a well-polished, slightly overlarge fork.)

"Wow! Really? I can have this, free, if I buy this shiny thing?!" She mused as she lifted the balm to her eyes and blinked at it; still clutching the over-sized fork in one hand. She popped off the lid and smeared a bit more than needed onto her forehead, scrunching her nose at the price he stated; but smiled recalling the mention of an IOU.
"I really don't have that much money, but.. I can give you a kiss!" She giggled as she set the 'spear' down and leaned toward Ersatz, planting a kiss on the tip of his prinny suits beak. "Thank you so much! I won't forget this!" She smiled and picked up her new items, cuddling them closely as she rocked happily on the floor.
"Oh! Have you seen Laharl.. I forgot what I was supposed to do for him today; did he tell you anything?"

"Sorry, dood! I was just coming back here after making my rounds." Ersatz began packing his case of wares up again. "So empty in here today, isn't it, dood!?"
Ersatz turned about and faced out the castle gates while putting his case back in his pack. He remembered something. Something very important. He'd left his oven on. "Dood! Fire! Seeya, dood!" Ersatz bolted out of the castle to his shack in the stellar graveyard, leaving a streak of fire behind him from his ZzzipBoots 666... which exploded, blowing him into the air 15 seconds outside of the castle. A faint "Doooood!" could be heard in the distance.

Hazuki sighed after hearing that Ersatz had no information for her regarding her task at hand, though she had been thankful to see him; gladly adding this new item to her collection of shiny things. She carefully tucked it away, along with her HeadOn balm, which seemed to be helping drastically, though leaving a large green spot in the center of her forehead where it was applied.
Unknowing of her unsightly appearance, Hazuki climbed to her feet and sighed; deciding to look around the castle for any clue as to what she was supposed to be doing. After turning down several corridors she sighed again, pressing her forehead against the cool stone wall of the castle in irritation.
"Laharl will never like me at this rate..." She mumbled to her self, disheartened to the point of no return. When she finally straightened herself and had made the decision to head back to the throne room to ask of him the task again, she realized that she was standing in the corner of his bedroom. "Oh goodness! How did I get in here?" She looked around bewildered, eyeballing everything in sight; clasping her hands together as she began to explore the treasures of her beloved Princes room.

Laharl had been dealing with hordes of demons after the throne all day again and was not in the mood for what he came across as he entered his room. There, in the center of his room, digging through his things was the most irritating vassal of all, Hazuki.
"What do you think you're doing?!" He hissed, his blue antennae shooting straight up in the air as he crossed his arms and glowered at her back. "PRINNIES!" His voice could be heard echoing down every corridor and signaled a small group of prinnies to his aid.
"What is it, dood?" The first prinny shouted as three of them clambered into the room, crashing into one another and falling in a domino-style. Several cries of 'Dood!' could be heard coming from the pile of wings and feet.
"I thought I told you to keep an eye on her!" Laharl bellowed, still standing with a formidable look on his face as his eyes swept back and forth between prinny and empusa. "How could you let this happen! GET RID OF HER AT ONCE!" He shrieked even louder than before, his whole body quaking with rage at the Empusa who stood staring at him idly, holding one of his treasures in her hand. "NOWWWW~!"
"Dood!"
"Aye, Aye, Dood!"
"Dooooood!"
All three prinnies stood at attention, quickly rushing at the empusa in attempt to shoo her off at Laharls command.

Startled by the sound of Laharls voice, Hazuki spun around, her tail slapping into the small makeshift dresser that sat near his coffin. She cringed with pain, nearly dropping the framed photograph she clutched. It was a photograph of Laharl as a baby, being held by his mother. She had never known her mother, and she had always admired Laharl; so she found the image soothing.
"No! Wait.. I.." Before she could squeak out and explanation she was tackled by the prinnies who had been called by Laharl; sending all four of the creature into the dresser and the photograph flying out of her hand. "Oh no!" Hazuki cried out as she felt the frame slip from her fingers and she knew there was no time to catch it as she soon hit the floor with a barrage of prinnies on top.
"Dood! We got her, dood!" The prinnies called out, one of them sitting up, still on top of her as the other two clambered to hold her arms down. "What now, dood?"
Hazuki struggled to break free of them, but was unable to move under their weight; the three of them easily pinning her to the ground. A loud crash startled her as the picture struck the far wall and the glasses shattered, sending the photograph inside wilting through the air; before landing on a flaming torch nearby.
"Noooo...!" She cried out, knowing that Laharl would be more than angry with her for this mistake; she knew he would never forgive her and for that, she wept.

"YOU IMBECILE!" Laharl's voice reverberated off of the walls as he shrieked at the empusa, who was pinned down by three prinnies in the center of the room. His face was red with rage, his body trembling as he was losing control of his emotions; anger overcoming all of them. "I'LL KILL YOU!" He hissed, his arms uncrossing as he drew his sword and stalked over to Hazuki.
"Not us, dood!" One of the prinnies shouted as he loomed over them, his eyes gleaming with anger; drool dripping out of the corner of his mouth. "Dood!" The small group quickly scattered and dashed out of the room wailing. "Master Etna! Laharls' gone crazy, dood!"
