[badassfreakingoverlord]

...What the hell are you talking about? Sure, I tried to bind my soul to the Sacred Tome to save myself, but it didn't turn me into a BOOK!

It turned me into a FREAKING PONY! [He points a hoof furiously at himself to demonstrate.] It was all an evil plan by the Pale Pony to sabotage me and make me weaker, since she couldn't take me on at my full strength. That's why she sabotaged the Sacred Tome in the first place!

[Behold the conclusions Zetta had drawn, in the absence of Pram and the other Overlords and in conjunction with the ongoing travails he'd experienced here.]

I'm starting to wonder if she got to you, too... Whatever the case, I've been stuck here waiting for my chance to conquer this world and turn it into a Netherworld to regain my strength. Completely without any help from anyone, I might add, especially other Overlords!

I'm dying over here; 10/10

[floesight]

[...

...

. . .

Yeah, you can actually see the little cloud above her head ellisping. That's how hard she's judging Zetta right now.]

...did you hit your head on something? That is literally the dumbest thing I've ever heard, and I've spoken to King Drake the Third. The Sacred Tome turning you into a pony? On what Netherworld does that even begin make sense? If the game had been about that, we'd all be bankrupt!

/CPR!

[badassfreakingoverlord]

No one said it made any freaking sense! But let's spell it out simply! Step one -- [He lifts one hoof.] I bind my soul to the damn Tome. Step two... [He drops that hoof, then lifts the other one.]

...I wake up a freaking pony! It doesn't take a 1.6 million EQ to put two and two together, Pram!

Okay...okay...I'm good. Probably.

[floesight]

[Blink. Blink. You know, he had a good point there. Except...]

Zetta. You're forgetting one thing. I'm a pony too! And I didn't bind my soul to the Tome! And if there are others here too that are in the same situation, I highly doubt they all did!

...which probably just means you got sent here before you became a bit...wordier. Heh.

/maintains EKG

[badassfreakingoverlord]

Hyaaa ha ha ha ha! The answer's obvious, Pram -- I'm the only Overlord so powerful that the Pale Pony had to rely on such a cheap trick to affect! Everyone else she could handle without that kind of stunt!

[Zetta has yet to even SUSPECT the true identity of the person who meddled with the Sacred Tome.]

Re: /maintains EKG

[floesight]

[...well that's good. Let's hope he never figures it out.]

...sometimes I wonder how you became the main character. Last I checked there was a requirement that included a thing called a "brain".

[badassfreakingoverlord]

The martial arts guy.

[Adell IS a pretty good counterpoint.]

Argue all you like, but you know I'm the most badass freaking Overlord in the cosmos. Even a villain like the Pale Pony ought to fear me!

[floesight]

I like how you don't even remember his name. Shows you how memorable he was.

[But sadly, he still isn't wrong. Thanks NIS.]

Yeah, yeah. No ones saying you aren't the biggest badass around, Zetta, least of all me. I'm just trying to get it through that thick skull of yours that I'm telling the truth. Seriously, what do I have to do to get you to believe me?

[badassfreakingoverlord]

Hmm.

You're an Oracle, but the Sacred Tome contains the future of my Netherworld too, doesn't it? Maybe what you think happened was an oracular vision that didn't come true because of Pale Pony's interference.

...Zetta just...said something...really smart. I'm scared.

[floesight]

[COMPLETELY BAFFLED???!!?! WHAT IS

THIS. WHAT.]

That...that actually makes sense. If you were sent here instead of the Cosmic Void...then...the future that was supposed to happen wouldn't have happened. Which would mean to you, I'm not from the future but an alternate timeline.

[...her mind is blown.]

He's been a unicorn for a year. He's actually had to use his brain!

[badassfreakingoverlord]

Wait a minute.

So I actually got turned into a book in an alternate timeline?

[There's a very long pause.]

Aaaaaigh! That's horrible! I never thought I'd be so glad to have been turned into a pony in my life!

I'm so proud of him right now.

[floesight]

Yeah, you bound your soul to the Sacred Tome and essentially became it. You still had all your powers, but you'd end up falling over a lot during your evil laughing.

And your so-called "battle monkeys" had to carry you around.

[badassfreakingoverlord]

[Zetta has all but scrambled back in terror at this recitation.]

Falling over while laughing!? I, the almighty Overlord Zetta, reduced to comic relief? That's -- that's --

[Abruptly, Zetta remembers a few key incidents in his time here. Key, painful, embarrassing incidents.]

That's horribly believable!

[floesight]

Yeah, it was pretty funny. You did get your body back, though. And your Netherworld. Thanks in no small part to yours truly.

[Nevermind the fact that it was all her fault to begin with. Not that he didn't deserve it at the time...]

[badassfreakingoverlord]

...What was the catch?

[They're demons, so obviously Pram hadn't done it out of the kindness of her heart or anything. Heck, Zetta had spent a year plus explaining laboriously to all the ponies here that demons didn't have friends or show each other compassion or selflessness.]

...as you can see I've played too much Disgaea. Freaking Axel...

[floesight]

[Eyebrow raise. Looking confused is all part of the act, but it is of course convincing. Telling him the truth was out of the question, at least for now.]

Catch? There was no catch. Aside from the fact that getting you back to your normal form would mean I could mess with you more. Books make awful toys. All I could do was throw you at Alex and that's about it.

He's the Dark Hero!

[badassfreakingoverlord]

That still seems uncharacteristically nice of you... Come on, Pram, be honest. You were secretly plotting to backstab someone while they were distracted with me, right?

[White Tiger intensifies]

[floesight]

Zetta, it's obvious you don't understand how I work. The more players I have in the game, the more toys I get to play with. What purpose does knocking someone off the board serve?

[Besides, as far as she's concerned she's already the second strongest Overlord. If she really wanted to off someone, she would have done it long ago.]

[badassfreakingoverlord]

Oh. Wait. I see how this works. You were helping me just so you could laugh at my suffering the entire way, weren't you.

[floesight]

Pretty much, yeah.

[NOT...REALLY A LIE.]

[badassfreakingoverlord]

So long as you got something out of it. You know better than to expect gratitude from a demon of my level!

...Here. Here is a different story entirely, though.

[floesight]

...I'm almost afraid to ask you to elaborate. Whatever it is you're talking about, I doubt it's any good.

[badassfreakingoverlord]

Check your mana power, Pram. And mine. Tell me if you still feel like you're your amazing self as a pony.

[floesight]

[That actually gets Pram to stop and think. She doesn't move from her spot, for fear that her already unsteady legs might cause her to tip over (seriously how do you even walk like this), but she does at least look like she's thinking. Assessing her power level. And then...]

...what the hell?! I know for a fact that I was a lot stronger than this!

[Sure she was sealing in a bunch of mana power to begin with, including hiding her true form, but this? This was ridiculous.]

Tch. And it looks like it's the same for you.

[badassfreakingoverlord]

I'm still as strong as they come, of course. But I wasn't just making up stories when I said this explains why the Pale Pony went through this whole stunt to bring me here. I hate to admit it, but without a Netherworld to gain strength from, I might actually fall behind the curve.
