[And you'll find Lord Zedd scrounging up various books to look over the translation to that message. Sadly, he's... not having that much luck.]

This is insane! All I'm coming up with is bits and pieces! [He starts slamming a hoof onto the table he's working on.] WHY DOESN'T THIS TARTARUS-RIDDEN WORK NOT MAKE SENSE?! [And Zedd is just glowing with anger.] This entire blasted world doesn't make a lick of SENSE! This has to be some sort of JOKE!

[Zedd, you make it easy to troll you.]

You mad?

[name_is_zedd]

[Oh, and now his scroll is playing, great.]

You stay out of this!

[kungfublackfrog]

Public post. Should've watched your scroll more carefully.

[name_is_zedd]

Like the rest of you do! BAH! This entire planet is nuts! I'll be glad when I've taken it over so I don't have to deal with it!

[kungfublackfrog]

Or maybe you're the nutty one.

[verygassy]

Looks like it~

[kungfublackfrog]

Show of hooves on who agrees with this.

[His is raised.]

/thread-jacks

[ponymechanic]

[Raises his hoof with a grin.]

[kungfublackfrog]

[Good kid.]

[ponymechanic]

[Well when you deal with someone like Eggman for years, it tends to make you not so scared of bad guys like Zedd.]

don't mind the threadjack

[stormbroken]

Overlords and would-be conquerors, often stumped by things such as basic literacy.

[Hoof up.]

don't mind if i do

[kungfublackfrog]

Or common sense.

Re: don't mind if i do

[verygassy]

Or fashion sense!

[stormbroken]

Makes ya wonder what's all that special about megalomania.

[verygassy]

Well, yeah! I mean, he's not really that intimidating looking anyhow. He looks like a big piece of chewed gum, if you want my opinion.

At least put on an ominous black cape that flaps in its own wind and also sensibly covers you up or something!

[kungfublackfrog]

Don't let his looks fool you. He's strong despite sending all those monsters to attack the town.

Now that I think about, it sounds pretty lazy.

[stormbroken]

Zetta's the same way. Whole bunch of minions, but he was here almost a year, flirtin' with the princesses, before he pulled this whole Frozen Fire deal.

[verygassy]

It does sound lazy! Does he just laugh evilly all day and expect things to fall in his lap with one foot soldier or something? Why do most crazy evil would-be tyrants think that will work? Its like they know nothing of organization!

[Granted, most of the villains she'd faced were better prepared than that. But not all of them were.]

And strength is no excuse for bad taste.

[morphitudinous]

Affirmative!

[kungfublackfrog]

[Billy you are always awesome.]

[foolish_seal]

Yeah, he's mad.

[Another raised hoof]

[kungfublackfrog]

Thought so.

[Yep, Trixie knows you didn't mean to post this.]

Behold!

[Trixie magics over a piece of string into view.]

A string! 'Tis the most important instrument in dealing with this way of communication, for it can prevent accidental messages via scroll! No longer shall you ever be embarrassed, revealing that which you do not wish to reveal! It does require but one simple action to be performed: Tying the scroll up! Once done, the scroll shall not unroll and no mistaken broadcasts shall be made!

Was there ever any doubt?

[name_is_zedd]

[And Zedd just glares at Trixie, growling all the same]

[cape_and_wizard_hat]

What's more is that string can be found at many a place! Many stores sell string, so there is no excuse for you not to be able to locate some.

[forwantofapartycannon]

Silly, it's really weirdly transcribed Russian and its a cake recipe to boot!

[name_is_zedd]

THIS HAD BETTER NOT BE A CAKE!

[forwantofapartycannon]

It's delicious cake! I'm surprised you haven't gotten the rhythm down yet.

[morphitudinous]

If it is a joke, I'm failing to find the humor.

[He's downright angry---but Zedd doesn't seem to be an immediate threat, so he'll just keep his guard up. And try to assist the others in getting a translation before he does.]

[name_is_zedd]

[Oh, it's you.]

It is not a joke. I don't DO jokes...!

[morphitudinous]

Yet almost everyone else is laughing.

I'm too tired of all this to laugh, though. I'll have my eye out for you.
