In Which the Overlord Has the Least Subtle De-age Ever [Open]

Another day in the Overlord's Fortress.

Today, Zetta sat in his throne lazily, feet up on the most freaking sweet ottoman in creation, grinding out a few levels of the freaking sweet new game he'd picked up on XaXing (Nuclear Death Apocalypse Extravaganza: The Annihilation of All Mankind: Tactics) on his freaking 99" widescreen TV.

Yeah, he'd gone pretty wild at XaXing, to judge from the various tapestries and banner's now hanging on the walls, the statues positioned in key places around the fortress courtyard, the sapling planted in one corner that visibly distorted time around it, and various and sundry other luxury goods.

Oh yeah, and he apparently had a body. What's up with that?

[[OOC: So, uh, since Zetta's de-age is, as noted, as subtle as the Overlord himself, and we don't want an obvious reveal too soon, it would be appreciated if any characters who wander by not run off to tell lots of important people quite yet. ^.^ ]]

"Either that, evil, or ineffective," Zetta said. Take THAT, democracy. "And they all suck, Lash. You just ignore it and keep playing."

Were the Zettarockets detonating a BIT TOO CLOSE to Lash? Yes, yes they were.

Ignoring it, she did. The Nameless President Guy obviously had two of the best wingmen at his disposal, as the AI kept telling them to get back on the path to help him out.

Instead there was now a war growing on between them. Or at least in Lash's eyes anyway.

"Hey! Don't think I didn't see that!" Retaliation came in the form of a counter missile blowing up the building that Zetta was working on. Yeah that's right, she just let you damage the entire thing and finished off to take one of your building kills.

Yes, these two heroes will totally save the day.

That is entirely in their natures. Heroism. Valor. Stuff.

In retaliation, Zetta planted a missile directly into the engine of a jet that would have been an easy and glorious kill for Lash.

Definitely save the day.

In counter-counter retaliation Lash...pushed Zetta's right elbow with one of her feet while she continued to play with both her hands and lay waste to all her enemies.

"Think fast!" Technically it wasn't cheating. Just bending the rules. Or in this case, pushing someone.

Of course it wasn't cheating. That was standard Netherworld tactics!

The Overlord countered by turning sideways on the throne to lean heavily on her as he played. Luckily his hair doesn't burn quite as much as it looks like it ought to.

But it still did in some way, or at least got an initial reaction from Lash at seeing the flames around her and she yelp out, nearly dropping the controller. The giant robot she piloted in the game swirled around in the sky and smashed into a building before exploding, making her lose a life. Okay. This was war.

"Hey!!" Forget the fact she had been playing dirty a bit before, now she was going to go all out and take advantage he was now turned sideways. Was the so-called great Overlord ticklish in the sides? Only one way to find out.

W-what the--?!

That was a tactic he'd never have expected Lash to deploy! And Magog help him... He let out a sputtering laugh that turned into a choke as he tried to bite it off. The Zettarobot started running in circles as he reflexively hunched forward and started elbowing her. "C-cut it out!"

Ladies and gentleman, Lash and Zetta: like, four years old.

Lash was full of surprises.

"Tee hee hee!" At this point she'd mostly forgotten the game, finding it much more amusing knowing that he was ticklish than anything else. She tried to dodge the elbowing and make it worse. "I totally heard that laughter!"

Uh, yeah and I guess the terrorists were taking over the city from the helpless president at this point.

"Y-you didn't hear anything!" Zetta said, half-turning back to shove at her with one arm.

"Not so tough when you get a case of the giggles huh?" Your feeble attempts were just going to make her try harder.

Oh yeah? He reached out to throw an arm around her, then stand up. Let's see how Lash liked dangling in midair! Hyaaaa ha ha ha ha!

"H-hey!" She moved her legs around in an attempt to kick him from the back. "That's not fair!" Because everything else had been.

"Life's not fair!" Zetta said, with the smug joy of someone to whom life had just been unfair in his favor.

"Release me right now, or face the consequences!"

"Oh, this I HAVE to see," Zetta said, lifting her a little higher.

Flak had found out the hard way a long time ago that it was a bad idea to tease her about her height. Perhaps Zetta needed a similar lesson as well.

That was probably not the best of ideas, as she mustered all of her non-Ranger strength and kicked backwards as much as she could, aiming for right between his legs.

He was the strongest Overlord in the cosmos. He had more strength and a higher DEF stat than any being in existence. He could endure the plasma furnace of star or the depths of space without harm!

...but outside of battles, especially, he had no resistance to slapstick physical comedy.

The arm around Lash went limp as Zetta collapsed bonelessly, face first, into his throne.

Victory!

Alright after doing that, she did feel a built guilty and poked at him with one hand over and over.

"Are you okay? Maybe I shouldn't have kicked that hard. I'm sorry." Wait no, she shouldn't be apologizing after he held her up like that but...whatever.

Poke, poke poke.

"You're not dead, right?"

The Overlord twitched slightly and made a feeble whimper that was almost entirely muffled by the throne.

Aww come on, even Flak didn't take it that badly. She came back with a glass of water a few minutes later and...threw it on him.

"Come on, wake up!"

Zetta had spent those minutes fighting down nausea. By the time she came back, he managed to slowly lift his head--

aaaand glass of water to the face.

"Oh oops."

She held the empty glass in one hand.

"Uhhh...feeling a bit better now?"

Zetta just blinked.

One long, slow, blearly blink.

"Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy."

"Well...I did warn you," she stated simply. "This is what happens when you mess too much with the wunderkind."

...is there any situation you do NOT have an icon for?

Considering she's from an unpopular fandom I'm surprised sometimes myself.
