"...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!

Most ponies don't like dancing like that, but I've got lots of practice!

[badassfreakingoverlord]

So you're a dancer, then? I can kind of see it.

[sailorlaughter]

Sure! I'm Ponyville's premier party pony, and a party without dancing is just no fun!

[badassfreakingoverlord]

Oh, so you're a hard-partying girl, huh?

[Needless to say, the image in Zetta's mind is starkly at odds with reality.]

[Except for Twilight's birthday party that one time.]

[sailorlaughter]

You bet! I throw parties all the time - you should come! I'm really glad we have these magic scrolls, it would be really hard to get an invitation all the way out to that castle!

[badassfreakingoverlord]

Lots of hot chicks? Plenty of booze? Hangovers and regrets the morning after?

[sailorlaughter]

...what? No, Fluttershy has all the chicks over at her place. [Miscommunication is go]

[badassfreakingoverlord]

Hmm. Sorority house, huh? [It was inevitable!] You party there often?

[sailorlaughter]

Nah, I mostly throw my parties at Sugarcube Corner. Or sometimes, if it's really REALLY big, Applejack lets me use her barn!

What's a sorority house?

[badassfreakingoverlord]

It's where all the babes have their best parties. The fact that you have to ask that makes me a little sadder for the state of this world.

[sailorlaughter]

Oh! Well, now's the perfect time for those! Fluttershy's always got a bunch of cute baby animals running around in the springtime! I tried to throw them all a giant birthday party once, but it was too big and noisy!

[badassfreakingoverlord]

Not THAT kind of babe! The sexy lady kind!

[sailorlaughter]

Oh! Sorry, Fluttershy doesn't have any of THOSE! If you wanna meet mares, I think Cheerilee hosts a Singles' Club somenight!

[badassfreakingoverlord]

That... is just not cool. Forget it. I'm sure this entire world can't be so sugary, I'll figure this out.

[sailorlaughter]

Okie-dokie-lokie! And if you need help finding cool stuff, you can ask one of the Rainbow Dashes, okay?

[badassfreakingoverlord]

So what's YOUR deal, by the way? Why so helpful?

[sailorlaughter]

Why wouldn't I be?

[badassfreakingoverlord]

I HAVE declared war on your world, and I haven't met a pony yet who wasn't on the sun-chick's side.

[sailorlaughter]

Awww, but you haven't really DONE anything yet! I bet a good party would cheer you right up!

[badassfreakingoverlord]

...I'm pretty cheerful already. What, don't I seem like a happy guy?

[sailorlaughter]

Kinda, but you can't be TOTALLY happy, or you wouldn't want a war and stuff! Those aren't very fun, y'know.

[badassfreakingoverlord]

They are to me. I'm a demon. War and violence are as natural to us as manes and tails are to ponies.

[sailorlaughter]

Really?

Wow, you must get some REAL nasty bedhead in the mornings!

[badassfreakingoverlord]

Does this gorgeous mane look like it gets mussed easily?

[Zetta rears back and tosses his head side-to-side, making the sheet of flames that is his mane ripple and spit out more fire bats.]

[sailorlaughter]

It looks kinda like you'd light your pillow on fire...
