I used to wonder what friendship could be... [Visual, open.]

[badassfreakingoverlord]

[So yeah. There's a familiar unicorn popping up on the scrolls, except, uh, he's not a unicorn any more. There's a couple of wings poking out from behind that massive fire mane.]

...As my first decree as Overlord of Equestria, apparently, I hereby, uh, politely request you all go light on the Princess jokes.

[...maybe he actually totally legitimately earned those wings, if he's asking like that.]

[badassfreakingoverlord]

Hey! Just because I maybe accepted the concept of friendship doesn't mean I've accepted you as a friend!

[Zetta waves a hoof angrily at Pinkie in the least menacing fashion imaginable.]

1/2

[sailorlaughter]

Really? Then I guess I'll just have to...

2/2

[sailorlaughter]

...KIDNAP YOU!

[SWINGING DOWN TO GRAB ZETTA AROUND THE MIDDLE]

[badassfreakingoverlord]

This is improbable at best!

[The Overlord would love to know how Pinkie Pie is even capable of lifting him at all, let alone with one foreleg while swinging. About the only defense he has is to vigorously extend his wings... and that isn't even a conscious choice.]

[sailorlaughter]

[Both forelegs! Pinkie squeaks indignantly as she's smacked in the face.]

Heeeeeeeeeey! [And she grabs the wing in her teeth.]

[badassfreakingoverlord]

Ow! [Okay, it doesn't really hurt, that's more a gesture of surprise.] Why are you kidnapping me?!

[sailorlaughter]

[Good, she didn't mean it to hurt]

I'm taking you to your alicorn party!

[badassfreakingoverlord]

Why can't we have it here?! [Zetta flails a bit, ineffectually -- he is completely helpless against comedy, which this definitely is.]

[sailorlaughter]

It'd be a lot harder to kidnap everyone else and bring them HERE, don't you think?

[badassfreakingoverlord]

Wouldn't the more appropriate reaction just be to throw the party here without my permission?

[sailorlaughter]

What, like not kidnap ANYONE?

[badassfreakingoverlord]

I know, it's revolutionary and I can't believe I'm suggesting it. [Completely flat and deadpan.] But you'd be committing property invasion, that's also a pretty cool crime.

[sailorlaughter]

I'm just trying to do a theme thing, y'know? 'Cause you're an Overlord and all!

[badassfreakingoverlord]

Yeah, but... [He takes a deep breath, because this is still hard to admit...] I did it the proper Equestrian way, not the usual demon way.

[sailorlaughter]

Oh, wait, so do you just want a normal party? Cause we can do that!

[badassfreakingoverlord]

Actually... yeah, I kinda do. Come to think of it, that would probably be fun. A lot better than some stodgy coronation.

[sailorlaughter]

Oh! Okay! That'll be WAY easier, then!

[That means we can just drop from the ceiling then!]

[badassfreakingoverlord]

[Zetta makes a perfect one point landing, that one point being his back.]

...And only now does it occur to me that I can freaking fly now.

[sailorlaughter]

[And Pinkie lands on top of him.]

Yep! Don't worry, it took Twilight AGES and ages to get used to them! Maybe - oh, I guess she's off doing her princess thing now.

Well, I bet someone ELSE can help teach you to fly!

[badassfreakingoverlord]

I can figure it out! [Of course Zetta is too prickly to accept help, not without a little convincing, anyway.] I just have to get used to having them. I spent a couple years without them, after all!

[sailorlaughter]

You had wings before?

[badassfreakingoverlord]

What? No! I mean as a pony I didn't have wings. I didn't have them as a demon either!

[sailorlaughter]

I thought demons DID have wings! Like angels!

But they all look totally different depending on where they're from. Not like humans, those're pretty much the same from anyplace!

[badassfreakingoverlord]

Only the more monstrous ones. Wait, how did you miss my magnificent demon form both times it showed up here?

[Zetta turns to look at her, as a thought strikes him. Then keeps turning, because she's on his back, and no matter how much he turns, he can't manage to get her in his vision.] Hey! Cut it out!

[sailorlaughter]

I dunno! I was all over town with a camera this week, but I don't think I saw YOU. Your mane looks like that all the time, right? Have you even LEFT the castle since you beat Tirek?

[lol nope staying here]
