We Went To the Land Of the Ice and Snow

[badassfreakingoverlord]

[The scroll flickers on to show nothing but white. Distantly, beneath a blowing wind, the sounds of whirling propellers and hard work press faintly through. Then crunching -- the unmistakable sound of hooves compressing snow.]

Aww, crap.

[The viewpoint jerks up to reveal the Overlord, snow spotting his coat but not his fiery mane, as he stands in the midst of a swirling blizzard. In the distance, barely visible, his minion horde marches off the airship he'd long ago stolen for Talk Like A Pirate Day and... neglected to return.]

Who the hell designs a magic scroll that's so easy to accidentally turn on?

Hmph. Looks like the cat's out of the bag. [Smirking, the Overlord sweeps a hoof out as he turns the scroll to reveal great mounds of snow lumping up across an otherwise featureless plain. Closer inspection shows that these lumps are in fact ruins, crumbled buildings in various states of decay.]

Stalliongrad. The site of an ancient battle between ponies and windigos, and if Princess Celestia's dreams are anything to go on, the Frozen Fire of Friendship just might be here somewhere. Once I find it, I'll have all the power of ice and snow that the windigos have... and then Equestria will either be mine, or a frozen hell of ponies in ice blocks, trapped and wishing their Princesses had surrendered instead of condemning them! Hyaaa ha ha ha ha!

[Zetta flicks his tail at the scroll as he turns to match towards the ruins, shutting it off.]

Thanks for the tip, Carl. Here's one for you: Don't tell everyone exactly where you are if you don't want to be found and beaten to a pulp.

[visual]

[badassfreakingoverlord]

Right, because that's exactly what I fear, here. You people.

I'd roll my eyes, but since I don't have visible ocular structures, you probably wouldn't get it.

[thedoctorsmate]

Y'know... pride goeth before the fall. I'm gonna love the look on your face when we get it before you.

[Mani knows she's meant to be ignoring this guy, but this sounds important... if confusing.]

...Windigos?

[Mani's never heard of Windigos before, but pony's are everywhere so they must have won the battle right?]

Why are you looking for the weapons of the people who lost?

[badassfreakingoverlord]

Lost my ass. This is where they won. The 'ultimate weapon' of ponykind got frozen right the hell over!

[rabbitheartedfox]

But if they won shouldn't everything be frozen already?

Why do you want to freeze everything anyway? I like this place as it is.

[sailorlaughter]

Geeeeeeeeeez, Zetta! Don't you think that's kinda mean? Maybe you should just -

2/2

[sailorlaughter]

[Sunglasses on]

- let it go.

[YEEEEEEEEAH]

[badassfreakingoverlord]

Sorry, Pinkie Pie. I think you'll find I'm a little bit of a fixer-upper.

[mechmadeoflove]

Harv - Neph - tell me you saw this.

Captian Joshua Preston of the Aneigma Corps reporting for duty as ordered, your Highnesses. Just let me get my Anchors together.

[badassfreakingoverlord]

The what Corps? Isn't that the fault with the creepy person-shaped punishment holes?

[private visual]

[millionbitpipes]

Yep, I'm here.

[name_is_zedd]

Do you actually think that you'll win by turning this world into Popsicles?! Ha!

Before this is all said and done, the only thing frozen is your own ambitions! The better one shall be ME!

[badassfreakingoverlord]

Hyaaa ha ha ha ha! Do you really think the Princesses will let me freeze over their subjects rather than surrender Equestria to me? While you've been unleashing periodic monster attacks, I've been preparing TRUE evil! Witness a level of ambition you can only dream of!

[How were they dating before her accident? How can her other self even consider it?

Looks like the Elements might be needed. All of them.]

[You are so lucky she's still recovering from changeling wounds, Zetta, or else she'd be leading the charge with the princesses.

Doesn't mean she can't snark the hell out of you, though.]

I dunno, bein' turned into a cavepony popsicle sure as hell sounds a hell of a lot better than listenin' to your screechy voice for all of eternity.

[Visual]

[badassfreakingoverlord]

Screechy?! How dare you insult the dulcet tones of Crispin Freeman?!

[iron_mare]

[The sigh Liz gives seems to be more out of disappointment than anything else.]

Oh Zetta...are you really gonna make me have to stop you? I don't want to have to beat the best GM ever to a pulp.

[visual]

[badassfreakingoverlord]

Business before pleasure, my dear hapless player.

[fckingcazadors]

Wouldn't your hair just melt anything frozen?

*Because that seriously looks like fire. How are you not howling in pain?*

[badassfreakingoverlord]

It's primarily cosmetic! This is awesome hair, which means its only purpose is to be awesome!

[Visual/Private]

[magicalrealist]

The Frozen Fire of Friendship, huh?

I have to say, Zetta: I'm impressed.

[Visual/Private]

[badassfreakingoverlord]

Hyaaa ha ha ha ha! Princess Celestia's mind was MOST forthcoming!

[visual]

[holyfight]

You know nobody's going to let you do that.

[visual]

[badassfreakingoverlord]

Hyaaa ha ha ha ha! You mean to say, "you know everyone will try to stop you". That doesn't mean they can!
