[The feed opens up with... a far-too-close zoom-in on Enna's eye. But then once she's satisfied it's on, she leans back, and nods to herself.]

Hello! So, Vee did that game where everyone got to ask it three questions. And I thought it seemed kinda fun. It would be a fun way to get to know everyone here. So I think it should be a game for everyone to play.

If you can do this.... Caw, ICP? Thingy. And talk to people. Let people ask you three questions and use it to get to know people! And even if you're the kind of person who doesn't care about getting to know people, it's still worth trying, because if we're all on teams and going on missions together, the more we know about each other, the better we can work together. Tactics, battle strategy, abilities, knowledge, strengths and weaknesses... And things like personality, history, all of that. The more we know about each other, the better we'll be.

Ready? I'll start!

Are you actually immune to soothing or is this another one of those reputation things where you're supposed to be immune to nice things?
badassfreakingoverlord: (dot dot frickin' dot)

[personal profile] badassfreakingoverlord 2020-12-18 10:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh.

[This question has never occurred to Zetta, and he goes silent for a full two minutes while he considers it.]

...there's no difference, so no soothing!

[Is that an answer? That's not an answer.]

[She can't help it, it pops right out. A question she's been asking herself for ages]

Isn't it tiring forcing yourself into the mold others make for you?
badassfreakingoverlord: (determined)

[personal profile] badassfreakingoverlord 2020-12-18 10:28 pm (UTC)(link)
...Look, that question is really hard for me to even think about when I've been a freaking book for a couple of years. I've been laughed at, mocked, diminished, and ignored just because of this form.

[He might say it's hard to answer, but it seems to have broken a dam within him. Not that doing so is hard, since Zetta has no concept of restraint, but it's not like he TALKS about this sort of thing to anyone...]

So yeah, it's freaking exhausting living up to these standards I have. It'd be so damn easy to just blast this train and everyone on it to bits, then go conquer the nearest world. It would've been easy to take the entire Far Shore over while it was distracted, too. It'd be easy to just squish people who doubted me! But I'd always have to live with the fact that I took advantage of someone's weakness or cowardice or folly -- that I could only take someone on when they weren't at their best, not when they were at full strength. That's not something I can live with! I won't have that sort of allegation tainting my name and title!

[It's not really what she meant, if she's honest, but it's an interesting take nonetheless. She props her chin on her hand, listening intently] I guess I meant more the acting properly evil all the time but--I don't know, having honor about it, wanting things to be fair, that's not a bad thing. I get the urge to do what is easy, to make things simple by not doing things right. But showing control--you're a good person. I might not agree with your methods but I'm trying not to be a hypocrite about it.
badassfreakingoverlord: (looking at you)

[personal profile] badassfreakingoverlord 2020-12-18 10:48 pm (UTC)(link)
You're not a demon, so that's fine. You've got your own things you're supposed to do.

[A moment's silence, and then:]

YOU'RE supposed to do. Not what someone else tells you. You do what you want. Anyone who's on your side will support it. Anyone who's against what you want isn't on your side.

[She smiles, thin and a little sad, not up to her usual standards] Yeah, well, I think we're both dealing with others expectations of us. You might be a demon Overlord and I might be goddess of spring but there's plenty more we're not showing.
badassfreakingoverlord: (animated laughter)

[personal profile] badassfreakingoverlord 2020-12-18 11:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Heh heh, you definitely have plenty I haven't seen yet.

[Leer, leer, perv.]
springforth: (281)

[personal profile] springforth 2020-12-18 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[Eyebrow raise] Well I was going to tell you something but now you'll never know.
badassfreakingoverlord: (smug sneer)

[personal profile] badassfreakingoverlord 2020-12-18 11:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmm. You know, I think you'll tell me anyway sooner or later, because my biggest flaw as far as you're concerned is thinking you're hot as hell. That isn't so bad, is it?
springforth: (076)

[personal profile] springforth 2020-12-18 11:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Your biggest flaw is that you are overcompensating.
badassfreakingoverlord: (why am I hurt?!)

[personal profile] badassfreakingoverlord 2020-12-18 11:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Wha -- I am not! How am I overcompensating?!
springforth: (281)

[personal profile] springforth 2020-12-18 11:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Any time a conversation goes anywhere near something soft or emotional, whoops, better be a pervert. Someone might think you have emotions, can't have that.
badassfreakingoverlord: (pouty-lips literature)

[personal profile] badassfreakingoverlord 2020-12-18 11:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[Zetta huffs.] Lust is an emotion. And I definitely have that!
springforth: (383)

[personal profile] springforth 2020-12-18 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Is it though? I mean, I guess technically, but it's not one with any depth. And you can huff and puff and get mad, but you have depth and you just aren't showing anyone.

[There's a lot more she could say but this is semi public and this... Discussion? Argument? Shouldn't have to be]
badassfreakingoverlord: (animated laughter)

[personal profile] badassfreakingoverlord 2020-12-18 11:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Depth... of EVIL! Hyaaaha ha ha ha ha!

[Look, if she didn't leave him these openings, he wouldn't take them.]

Do you have any doubt where you stand in my view?
springforth: (pic#13866791)

[personal profile] springforth 2020-12-18 11:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Well I mean, I was going to tell you about something private and important to me and you came at me with this, so I guess I know where I stand.

[Look she's got standards. Not high ones but step over the bar here Zetta. It's not hard]
badassfreakingoverlord: (my point is made!)

[personal profile] badassfreakingoverlord 2020-12-18 11:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Sure, for like one phrase! I can behave if I have to!

For you anyway.
springforth: (pic#13529937)

[personal profile] springforth 2020-12-18 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh huh. [She raises an eyebrow and then let's out a deep sigh.] I'll think about it. If you're actually interested in hearing about it. I guess I never asked if you were.
badassfreakingoverlord: (omfg yay)

[personal profile] badassfreakingoverlord 2020-12-18 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Hell yeah I'm interested! I'm not sure what you could say that I wouldn't want to hear!

[That's a little more open about his opinions and feelings than he intended it to be...]
springforth: (pic#13529946)

[personal profile] springforth 2020-12-19 12:07 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh. Well. He stepped over a bar, genuine interest in what she has to say, more than she expected. What did she expect, more blustering? She twists a lock of hair around her finger, suddenly nervous. At his interest, at what she has to say, all of it really.] I guess I'll come find you at some point after all this dies down.
badassfreakingoverlord: (Badass zoomout)

[personal profile] badassfreakingoverlord 2020-12-19 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
You know where my domain is, and that you have eternal hospitality there. Also probably lotuses soon.
springforth: (pic#13529946)

[personal profile] springforth 2020-12-19 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
[Nervous laugh>] Right. Uh--later then.
