"...A castle. I need an Overlord's castle!" [video]

[badassfreakingoverlord]

[The video feed of the scroll displays... a castle. An ancient, crumbling castle surrounded by forest, yet with enough stability left that much of it still stands tall and proud.]

Okay, two questions. First, why is there a sweet if poorly-maintained castle in the middle of this forest, and second, mine now! Hyaaa ha ha ha ha!

Hmm. You're right... I need an umbrella.

[Zetta may have taken exactly the wrong conclusion from her concern.]

So wait, even you wouldn't come in the Everfree Forest?

Trixie deems that you'll need much more than that.

[Trixie lets loose a short, haughty giggle.]

Of course Trixie would when circumstances require it. However, she is the only unicorn strong enough to tackle any challenge within the Everfree. Besides, that castle has not any vacancy nor the required necessities to continue living.

[badassfreakingoverlord]

Ha! I accept your challenge! I'll get this castle fixed up nice, and then you can come get a tour of it!

[cape_and_wizard_hat]

[WHAT!?]

That's not what I meant!

[Oh look, she's gotten so frustrated and dumbfounded that she dropped the third-pony.]

Just... get out of that castle and the Everfree! There's no food where you are!

[badassfreakingoverlord]

[Wait. She's actually serious about this?]

[Zetta gives her image in the scroll a long look before sitting down to address her directly.]

All right, Trix, let me ask you something. Reverse our positions. You're off doing something only somepony incredible could do, and I tell you to stop, it's crazy.

Do you listen to me and stop, or do you use all that awesome power of yours to prove me wrong?

[cape_and_wizard_hat]

[She'll choose C: Attempt to survive by the skin of her teeth because she doesn't have as much power as she says she does and then stretch the truth later in order to prove them wrong.

There's somewhat of a long pause.]

...As you wish, but since you don't have nearly as much magical power as Trixie possesses, she warns you to be cautious.

[badassfreakingoverlord]

Thanks for the concern. [He says that sardonically because that's pretty much how he knows how to communicate, though it is secretly a little nice that she's concerned, however misplaced that concern is.]

Like I said, I'll show you have nothing to worry about. When you visit here, you'll see there's nothing I need to fear.
