In Which the Overlord Dislikes What He Sees [Open]

[badassfreakingoverlord]

In roaming the ship, out of an increased sense of irritation and impatience, Zetta had discovered someplace new to him.

Most of the murals and paintings and sculptures in the place, disturbing though they might be to a mortal mind, gave the Overlord no pause whatsoever. In his thousands of years, he had seen the death of worlds, the descent into madness of some truly great minds, the greatest depravities of the Netherworlds, and Mickey in a feather boa. These 'alarming' sculptures couldn't dare disturb the mental integrity of the Overlord! Hyaaa ha ha ha ha!

...What DID shock him, though, was the statues beneath a giant head-sculpture thing. Two of them, in fact: the first an obstinate Overlord, arms crossed and looking stubborn, his back to the second; the second a woman walking away, stoic despite tears.

"What the... What the HELL is THIS crap?!" Zetta demanded of the room in general and the cosmos at large.

"They put you in a nursery-rhyme tome instead?" Smooth Lash. Very smooth.

[badassfreakingoverlord]

"Wait, what? NO! I confined my soul to the Sacred Tome to prevent my own death!" Where did that nursery rhyme thing come from?!

Guess who listened to Maritsu Evil Academy all of yesterday on repeat.

From Lash's twisted mind, of course! The one that liked to insult people a lot of they gave her an opening.

"Tough choice," she snickered. "Death or being turned into a book." She looked over at the statues again giggled at Etna's.

"Hey, I don't know who she is, but she's got a really great style! ...and what are these penguin things?"

Zoki?

[badassfreakingoverlord]

Zetta looked back to the statue, then glared. "Hey! Quit showing people from other games!"

Obligingly the statue transformed into Zetta quite literally kicking another guy's butt. Zetta looked at that for a moment, then snickered. "Take THAT, Alex! Hyaaa ha ha ha ha!"

Somewhat more pleased, Zetta turned back to Lash. "The penguins were Prinnies."

Yes it was Zoki. And now I am entertaining thoughts of poddropping Gig but I'd need a Revya. gdit.

[thewunderkind]

Show people from other games, what was this guy on?

She just started at the statue. "Is he...hold a guitar?" she almost commented that he wasn't too bad looking with that chest, but caught herself in time. "W-Why is everyone wearing such strange outfits anyway?" Pot, meet kettle.

Without waiting for his reply, she knelt down near one of the penguin like-creatures and looked at them closer. "Prinnies...any reason why they have purse attached to them?"

[badassfreakingoverlord]

"He has lightning powers. You know how people like that are. Always carrying around instruments without plugs so they can charge 'em up," Zetta said scornfully. "His MAIN schtick is being the God of Destruction, but he's no good at it. He's actually an Overlord too, and he THINKS he's my rival."

What was wrong with the clothes? Zetta looked at his own image for a moment, then mentally shrugged. "I wear that because I look damn good in it," he said. "As for Prinnies, it's where they keep their stuff."

[thewunderkind]

"I'll take your word for it," she said shrugging herself. That sounded like the stupidest idea ever. Maybe she should think about getting herself an instrument with her own sentai powers...

She was about to remark something about books and leather and be a general nuisance, but the Prinnies had really caught her attention. "They have material belongings?"

[badassfreakingoverlord]

Lash was right. It WAS stupid. Alex was stupid. He could go on.

"Yeah, they have their knives, and fish bones, skulls... unlimited supplies of mana-created bombs... their pathetic wages..." No, he had no idea he'd just said magic words.
