Suggested Music Emily and Boogie had their share of small adventures. She remembered the feast she had prepared for Laharl upon her arrival, and Boogie was always a calm and mysterious soul. She never understood magic and stayed out of his study when she went to dust. Her singing was too "hymnish" for most of the tastes of the Netherworld. Quite frankly because all she sang were prayers she remembered from her human days. She didn't remember much about her human life anymore, but at least remembered the pretty music she knew all of her life. Perhaps it was one of the reasons she angered Maderas... There she went again, going on one of her 'woe is me, I should be more evil to keep a husband around here' moments. She got like this about every month. Thusly was the price of being a female vampire and those females were often prevented from getting station because of their out of control powers during those few days of the months. They were masters of blood, and those who mastered controlling their own could acquire a dangerous forbidden technique. Of course, until those thousands of years of training, they were prone to emotional outbursts and mood swings worse than any other female race in the Netherworld. Tears streaked down her cheeks as one of those very attacks was starting to come around. "Oooooooh... why couldn't I have stayed a human?! As a Prinny I would never have to worry about what to wear!" Of course, the last time this happened, Boogie ended up having to help her clean one of the walls from her lack of control of her Chaos Fire after she accidently blew up an entire Prinny Squad.

Boogie thumbed through a series of files with pictures and information that he digested thoughtfully. He was a little nervous about making a choice like this, but he knew he should first talk with Emily about a subject like this. Major life decisions was a new thing to him, he had been on the path of power for a long time, and he was still adapting to the gravity and tone of this dilemma.
With a sigh, the mage set down the files and left his desk. Boogie opened the closet and looked through his nicer clothes. Without even thinking about it, his eyes fell on a certain suit which he wore on a very fateful day. It took almost a whole year to completely clean out the stink of Aramis' zombie attack.
Nostalgia had a certain charm, but perhaps a set of clothes less battle damaged would be best. Boogie took out a double breasted suit that he had recently acquired. This would be best to wear before he or an enemy had a chance to "break it in."

Since then she had traded her long black gown for a maid outfit, but the Prinnies caught wind of her sudden moodiness.
"Doood.... Miss Emily? Are you okay, dood?"
"Ohhhh... you know... just... one of those days. *sniffle*"
The sweat drops began to fall around some of the Prinnies as she dabbed her cheeks with her handkerchief. Her long ears were sulked as she winced slightly. The Prinnies started to panic slightly, as one of them started to bark orders. He had been the Sous Prinny several times and served Emily with more loyalty than Etna.
"Get the chocolate, dood!" "Dood! Master Etna forced us to fork over that one stash... ! Whoops!"
The Prinnies paused, everyone dropping bullets of sweat after the cat was out of the bag that Etna found out about Emily's stash of chocolates. Her head went down and her hand slowly crushed the feather duster she had been using. Her bats started to squeak in panic as a calm, dark rage started to well up in her.
"... I ... know that Master Etna is your primary employer... but to hand over MY CHOCOLATE STASH!?
"GAAAAAH! DOOOOD!" "It was that or our lives, Miss Emily! For real, dood!"
"After everything I've done to try and be fair to you?! You... you... cowards!!!"
"Doooooooooood! We'll get you some better stuff! Promise!" "Y... Yeah! Lots of desserts, dood!"
A roaring red aura was emitting around her, her rage barely able to be contained. Her wings shot out from under her apron as her eyes turned pitch black with nothing but two raging red balls of light for her eyes. Her fangs were totally bared as her Vampiric side was at last starting to get the best of her.
"Get me some sweeties or Don't. Come. Back."
All the Prinnies saluted in unison and made a mad rush for the door in order to get something... ANYTHING to appease the almost always kind and gentle Emily. Today, however, was the last straw to her saintly patience.

The Prinnies sounded more agitated than usual, but given the moods and demands of the castle's denizens it was hardly a surprise. Boogie finished the last button of his shirt as a Prinny barged into his room, "Boogie dood! We have an emergency, dood!"
Boogie reached for his tie as he responded with a little humor, "Does this emergency require a military response, or a little diplomacy?"
"Lady Emily is mad as hell that Master Etna pilfered her stash, dood! If we don't do something fast, the bodies will hit the floor, dood!"
Boogie completed the knot as he calmly instructed, "Then let her know I want to leave for a new place that opened near Sphynx's, which I am confident that can satisfy her cravings. If she were to accompany me, I would be the most delighted demon in the Netherworld."
The Prinny saluted, then scampered off to relay the message. Boogie grinned like a crocodile as he studied himself in the mirror. The robes of aristocracy were too alien to him, yet he had no appetite to dress like a peasant, but this manner of dress appealed to him. He hoped it appealed to Emily as well.

The Prinny ran like hell... the one smart enough to know that Boogie and Emily were close friends. He tripped over his pegs and face planted in front of her feet, bullets of sweat pouring down his body.
"Miss Emily! ... B... Boogie said he's gonna take you out on the town, dood! There's a new place that opened by Sphinx's!"
Emily's aura calmed down considerably as her fist was still clenched. Her eyes closed and she huffed while crossing her arms.
"Alright... but you still have to replenish my old supply, is that understood?!"
"We'll fill the coffers with sweets, dood! J... Just don't get mad on us! Your, like, the only nice person here, dood!"
"Then remember that the next time you snitch me out!"
The Prinny got up and saluted again, tears running down its eyes like a faucet.
"Gaaaah! Y... you got it, dood!"
And off he went like a bat out of hell. Emily was, at last, able to relax and breath deeply. Her fists were still clenched from the incident, and swore to herself to get even with Etna one of these days. Slowly walking to her room, she decided she needed a break for today and rummaged through her clothes. Nothing but black dresses, but she always liked a little variation on them.
Boogie was always such a good friend. She missed Aramis and him making all those zombies. She decided to go for her old black and purple vampire gown as she fixed her hair with the aid of her bats. Sighing as she calmed down considerably, she hovered next to the front gate, waiting on Boogie to come over.

Just before he left his room, Boogie debated with himself about bringing his staff with him. The Netherworld could be a violent place, but lugging around a weapon like that would not suit the mood. Still, it would be reckless to not bring something to aid him in a fight. Boogie reached for a pair of gloves amplified by magic to boost abilities. They didn't truly match his suit, so he stuffed them into an inner pocket.
Boogie approached the gate and saw Emily already waiting for him, "Shame on me, I hope I didn't make you wait long. Thank you for agreeing to come along with me on such short notice. You look very lovely, today."
The mage gave the coordinates to the gatekeeper, then turned back to Emily. He resisted the urge to make a wry comment about the drama pertaining to Emily and the betrayal of the Prinnies. Boogie just smiled before offering his arm to her.

"Hmph..."
She wasn't blowing him off, but she was still in a foul mood. She took his arm slowly, appreciating the gentleman that her dear friend was. Her nose slightly scrunched as her emotions were still on... overdrive. Still her tone was as demure as she could get with the events of today still fresh in her mind.
"Thank you."
It took her a moment to notice him. He was dressed pretty fancy himself. Was he going to ask her out or something? Oh God, she wasn't in the mood for this despite how much she wouldn't mind it.
"This must be quite a high-end place. The only time you dress like that is for the assembly."

Her mood was still sour, and Boogie imagined that it had more to do with more than a simple plundering of the sweets. To drag up the issue to the surface would likely only agitate her, and Boogie thought it best to only talk about it if she wished to. He cleared his throat before he replied, "How else should I dress? I'm going on in the company a lady. "
Boogie gently led Emily to the dimensional gate, and they were awash with the strange sensation and displacement that comes with traveling through time and space.
On the other end was the more developed region in the Sea of Gehenna. Demons of every variety gathered here for the various attractions, even ice aligned demons were common in this bustling area. Boogie stated, "It should be quieter once we get inside."

"Oh yes... I keep forgetting they are a rare commodity in this world..."
Her voice was slightly dry and sarcastic, but it surely wasn't to him. She just tugged a little closer to him and sighed.
"And... so are gentlemen. True gentlemen, anyway. Pardon my demeanor, but I am unwell today."
She really couldn't wait to get into wherever they were going and get something... anything which could be comfort food. She remembered the Valentine's Day dance and the blood slushies there. Or was it Christmas? It was far too long since Boogie got promoted, and frankly this was their first outing in awhile.
"Ahhh... how I needed a break!"

Nostalgia nipped at his heels as Boogie recalled his first meeting with Emily. Her beauty was very striking, but it was her tenderness that endeared him to her. Grace has always been a rare virtue among the denizens of the Netherworld, even among those who were originally human.
"Yes, it's important to relax," Boogie paused before he added, "Did I ever tell you that when we first met and Laharl was considering his options, I was seriously thinking about turning on him if he moved against you?"
He looked, and saw the establishment beside Sphynx's, a place called Belial's. The front man noticed the pair and opened the door for them.
