There's A New Overlord in Town [Open]

Pram had been very quiet for a while. She was one of the more quiet overlords as far as she knew, but she always made sure she made her appearances whenever she needed attention. She had her reasons for keeping quiet for the last month or so.

It didn't take long for her to find out Zetta was on board this ship. A brief moment of relief and happiness swept through the young overlord's mind when she found out, although it was immediately replaced with her usual mischievous personality to start plotting how to mess with her favorite 'plaything.' Never mind her worries of getting by the days without decent food or place for herself, she could just take over Zetta's place. Since he had been on this ship for a while, he's bound to have a castle of his own, right?

And that was what she exactly did. To her luck Zetta seemed like he had left for elsewhere for a while. With the "Most Badass Freaking Overlord" gone from his castle, it didn't take much for the self-entitled Oracle to take over. ~~Really, all she did was just walk into the castle and sit down onto the throne.~~

So there she was, giggling to herself as she had one of Zetta's minions fan her while she continued to sit in the throne that was not her's. She was going to boast all she wanted about taking over Zetta's castle (while he was gone) as she had the other servants do a complete makeover of the castle and left the entrance open.

"Mwa ha ha ha ha...! Tee hee!"

[[OOC: It is a momentarily takeover of Zetta's castle with the mun's permission, and will end with Zetta getting his castle back. I do know the Cloneplot is still going on due to LJ being a butt, so I will say it is bendytimed to after the plot is over just in case. Feel free to have your muses come in and chat with this lolita Overlord?]]

So she really did know him from way back then. It would have been amusing, to see what would happen when he came back then. She remembered how he reacted to one of those other people from his world: what would he say about this Pram opening up shop in his castle? She knew a few of his choice phrases.

"So you two are very old friends then." Good thing she hadn't underestimated her because of how young she appeared. "I wonder if you can help him then, to regain his demon body again."

"Friends???" Pram questioned, raising her thin brow at the word. "Demons don't call each other something cheesy like friends."

So other than the cause of Zetta losing his Netherworld, it seemed like it was just like how it happened before in her time. Which meant, there was the possibility of that Tome-girl being around somewhere on the ship, whether she was still in the pods or not. Pram put this thought in the back of her mind for later reference.

"Zetta regaining his body and lose the Sacred Tome's powers? Sorry to disappoint you, but I'm not going to let this opportunity slide away."

Yup, he was from his world all right: all those rules about somehow not having attachments to each other or calling each other friends definitely sounded like the Zetta she knew. At least she wasn't saying there was no way possible ever that demons made friends, since she knew exactly what nonsense that was.

"Since when is having friends supposed to be something that's cheesy?" Kaya wanted to know. "If you ask me, on a ship like this you're bound to need the help of a friend or two. Not emotionally, since you guys are demons and totally don't get lonely, but at least to help you with adjusting to this ship, telling you where everything is. They d come in handy for things, after all. And there's always minions, right?"

Not that she would ever call herself that.

"Opportunity to do what? He hates being a book. Wouldn't you?"

"It's cheesy! Way too full of stupid fluffy things like 'caring for others' and 'helping each other out.' Comrades is a slightly better word for this entire situation we're all stuck in, if you want to stick to it. I admit, even demons can't live on their own after all. Honestly, you can't become Overlord unless you have someone to beat up." She replied as she brushed her hair away from her face.

This person seemed she was competent to know how demons typically acted like. While it made her feel a bit at ease in such a humongous ship filled with people she barely knew about, it also made her a bit weary; how this girl talked reminded her of Trenia just a little bit.

"Don't you know what the Sacred Tome is supposed to do?" Pram replied with a scoff. "It can read the future, as well as grant wishes. I don't want to be stuck as the book, though."

While all the book-related jokes were hilarious the first time, Pram herself didn't want to be at the receiving end.

"Plus, I think that appearance suits him just fine!" Perfect for her favorite plaything.

"There's nothing wrong with caring about people: we sort of need to, since we all have to help each other out anyway. Don't see how one word is better than the other. Besides, there will be plenty of people to beat up, trust me, by the time all of this is over. I have a few people even I need to beat up."

"I've heard a bit abut the Sacred Tome, Overlord Zetta has told me quite a bit. He says that the Ohm cursed him, but I always had the feeling it might not have been quite that way. All the same, I'm also trying to find a way to get him out to be in his body again, despite how weird it was that last time."

But he was younger and probably hormonal then, right?

She made a face. "But he should be out by now. No one wants to be a book forever."

Pram listened to the first part halfheartedly, not taking it too seriously to heart. For demons, overlords especially, Mana Power was everything. Nothing else mattered in any Netherworld. Of course, she wasn't completely stupid; if she needed to she will help others out...only if there's a benefit for her.

She did speak up when the other started talking about Zetta, although she completely ignored the bit about helping the overlord gain his body back. "What do you mean, weird? I'm curious."

Kaya was definitely trying to remember the things that the Overlord had said about Pram, but nothing was springing to mind. Now she wished she had been paying more attention to when the Overlord was spouting off on.

"Well, at one point the ship was hit with a sort of magic that made people regress to their younger selves, and the Overlord did have his body back then. He said some...pretty weird things then, and he was under the impression he was still an aspiring Overlord."

Age regression? What the other was talking about was things Pram made awfully curious.

"Weird things? Care to elaborate on it?" She asked, leaning in with curiosity. A younger version of Zetta was something Pram wasn't familiar with: she was a little baby when Zetta was that young!

"Well, it was...kind of flirty." That was putting it mildly, considering what the Overlord had actually said, but of course Kaya was not about to have him looking so bad in front of his friend. "I guess demons have a pretty roaring libido when they're young.

"But yes, misfortune can happen on this ship at the drop of a hat. It's something to be expected."

"It depends on the demon, actually." Pram replied, "not all demons go for sexual things."

Name a sin and there was probably a demon who had that embedded in their personality.

"But 'kind of flirty' seems too mild for Zetta. He was already full of himself with how good-looking he was when I got to know him."

"Oh thank goodness," Kaya said, heading her head. "Anyway, Overlord Zetta isn't really like that anymore. It was just a weird situation for anyone involved."

She put a hand to her forehead. "No, it's definitely mild for what he was saying. I prefer not to think about it to much, since, you know, he and I are definitely are nothing close to that intimate with each other."

"Well I would be creeped out if it lingered even when he returned to his usual age." Pram replied with a giggle. Although, that may have been a fun thing in its way.

"Don't worry about it, even though he flirted with you, you clearly aren't his type." She replied. She wouldn't lie, but she certainly never made an effort to be nicer with words.

"So would I," Kaya said, trembling a little. "I care a lot about the Overlord, but the idea of him hitting on me is just wrong, in many ways. I'm glad he returned to normal eventually."

She made a face. "Uh, he's not my type either. Don't get me wrong, he's definitely fun and
strong, but he and I are definitely not meant to be that way. It wasn't even a question."

Like she would just be swooning because he was an Overlord, really.

"Oh really? Zetta may be stupid, but he isn't that bad to look at." At least his real body wasn't. "But I guess some people wouldn't like how narcissistic he is with himself."

Even with that, there weren't a lot of people who would be up to date a demon.

"Oh, I'm used to how narcissistic he is by now," Kaya said, waving her hand as if it wasn't even worth discussing. "If I wasn't used to that, we might never talk to each other. But he's just not someone I look at that way, demon or not."

It was less to do with him being a demon, and more with how she thought of him AS Overlord Zetta.

"Is that so." Pram replied. "Ah well, he does have someone to care for."

At least that was how it was in her timeline, but perhaps this Zetta was very different.

"Of course he does, he cared for that Salome, didn't he? He can pretend all he likes that he didn't, but anyone with eyes could see that. That was his someone."

He was capable of that feeling, she knew that to be certain. She also knew that the Overlord would not want that shown to anyone. So she made sure not to bring that up.

Whoa. Whoooa. This girl was able to see through Zetta about that? Demons were never the sharpest when it came to love, even if they were capable of having such feelings. Pram couldn't help but feel a tad impressed with this human. She stayed quiet as she floated in place, staring at the other. This place really did have so many kinds of people.

In normal circumstances she may have asked for a name, but she was an oracle. She was supposed to know this. If she were a real oracle, that is. All that was left ~~with so much text~~ was just have Pram being quiet and stare.

Kaya stared the demon back. By now she knew that once the Overlord got wind of this, he would have the appropriate reaction, but for now, there was little point in arguing over who's place was whose. For all she knew, Pram might just give the Overlord back his castle once he arrived.

Yeah right.

"Well in any case, when the Overlord comes back, and he will, let him know that Kaya says hi, and she'd like to see him."

Excellent, her question was answered by itself. A smile crept back onto her face.

"Of course. But, I wouldn't know how much he will listen when he's having a fit." She replied with a giggle. "...Teehee!"

Oh, she figured that Pram might want to know: she had never introduced herself, after all.

"No, you're right about that. He'll probably be pretty mad when he gets here. Almost makes me want to see him blow up. It's usually pretty funny..."

"Exactly!" Pram replied cheerfully with a nod. "It's always so fun to mess around with him, his reactions are one of the best things to watch."

Kaya sighed. She did want to be her when that happened, but she knew she had abut a million things to do right now: sitting and waiting for the Overlord right now was simply not an option.

"Well, I guess I'll find out who it turned out later," she said. "I'll see you...soon, probably."

"Most definitely," Pram replied. "It was surprisingly fun talking to you. It'd be nice to have this kind of conversation later down the road."
