[ Much like everyone else post-mission, Della looks exhausted as hell. But! She is trying to smile. ]

Hey guys. So, uh... not... the best ending to a mission, but we still succeeded! Kinda, sorta. And we're all alive! Kinda, sorta. ... Right, should probably get to the point before you all get mad at me.

Before the mission started, I got a hole in my prosthetic leg. And while it wasn't a huge deal during the mission, it got pointed out to me I should probably get it looked at anyway... At least, I promised I would after the mission. So, here I am.

[ She leans down, and, pop! Holds up her leg - it looks like an odd one, with some metal parts held together by gauze. There is a pretty noticeable hole in the lower half. ]

I made this out of rocket-ship parts. Kind of a long story. So, with all that out of the way, anyone know how to fix this?

Hey, you asked, I answered. Long and the short of it. No one said you had to like the answer.

[sos_pilot]

[ Eyeroll. ]

Oh, shame on me. Next time I ask everyone a favor, I'll make sure to include, "that doesn't involve be becoming anyone's vassal."

[badassfreakingoverlord]

That's fair, if you also reject all the other awesome deals that are totally beneficial to you.

[sos_pilot]

I do, in fact, also reject everything else about it. 100% percent.

[badassfreakingoverlord]

I mean OTHER offers from OTHER people! Like, if someone goes, "here, I'll fix it for you for free and ALSO give you a pony," none of that is okay!

[sos_pilot]

A free pony is pretty tempting...

[ She's just messing him with. hopefully. ]

[badassfreakingoverlord]

Exactly, so you're not allowed to take that offer. The same way you're not taking an offer that works out great for you with absolutely zero downsides.

[sos_pilot]

... Awww, Zetta, are you trying to make sure I don't belong to anyone else but you?

[ She knows he isn't, at least not in "that way", but teasing is fun. ]

[badassfreakingoverlord]

That's only PART of it.

[Hey, should he just say things like that?]

I'd put more effort into that if it weren't for 'Sephe.

[sos_pilot]

Sephe?

[ Curious head tilt? ]

[badassfreakingoverlord]

Persephone? Gratuitously pink goddess of Spring?

[sos_pilot]

Oh, her! Sorry, I've got like, ten different nicknames for each person here. She's such a sweetie. Haven't met the one in my world yet, but I always hear good things from Selene.

[ she might have already forgotten what they were talking about. ]

[badassfreakingoverlord]

'Sephe. [Yes, he's going to be insistent.] I dunno if 'sweetie' is the word for her though, when she's got that bit of an edge.

[sos_pilot]

Hey, sweeties can have edges! Just makes them a surprise, and who doesn't love a good surprise?

[badassfreakingoverlord]

I'm just saying, she's sweet but not a sweetie! [Zetta doesn't realize he sees a different side of Persephone than most people do.]

[sos_pilot]

What's the difference?

[badassfreakingoverlord]

Uh, degree, mostly. She's not sweet and sometimes snarky, she's snarky and sometimes sweet.

[sos_pilot]

Really? Cause I've experienced the reverse with her.

... Miiight have something to do with who she's talking to.

[badassfreakingoverlord]

Hmm. I was going to say that it might be because you come off more maternal to her... but nah, you're a teenager at heart and it's clear as day!

[sos_pilot]

Objection, your honor, I can be both!

[badassfreakingoverlord]

Yeah, right! It's pretty clear you haven't let the passage of time slow you down or age you up one bit. And that's a compliment, so you know!

[sos_pilot]

Aw, now you're starting to sound like a sweetie.

[badassfreakingoverlord]

Heh, no way. I'm coming at this from a lecherous standpoint after all!

[sos_pilot]

[ Sing-song teasing. ]

Zetta has a hea-aaart, Zetta has a hea-aaart~

[badassfreakingoverlord]

You're lucky I don't have a body right now, Della.
