Bendytimed to whenever a book could reasonably leave the City. (Under its own power. Sort of.)i_am_the_bafoOctober 8 2010, 17:37:42 UTC
With the threat abated, to Zetta's infinite boredom (seriously, no one had even attacked his fortress! What was the point of having a fortress if no one attacked it?!), the Overlord had taken up his old bad habit of walking in on people in the sensoriums to see what they were doing. Someday, someone might tell him to stop. He probably wouldn't care when they did; he certainly had no qualms at the moment.
So in strolled the Overlord (or rather, in came the tome, carried by his leader-minion), completely unaware that he was the second-worst person on the entire ship to be wandering in on Katara at the moment. "Huh," he said out loud. "Isn't this that place that belongs to that thing Starfire is a part of...?"

Katara startled at the voice, but then saw a girl with the book, so she knew it was Overlord Zetta (it was still weird for her to just call him Zetta). She was still trying to figure the best way to set up the courtyard for training: Beastboy had mentioned that there were some other people interested in joining The Outsiders, and she wanted to be ready.
"Yes," Katara said, brightening. "Stafire is one of the embers of The Outsiders, a team me and Beastboy are trying to reestablish again. Since I can't get to the City right now, I'm figuring the best way to arrange everything. Any thoughts?"
Her eyes are red, but she is giving no indication of being upset at the moment.
"It shouldn't be too much longer till you can get back in," Zetta said. "I got out, after all."
It simply didn't occur to him that no one really cared what a book and its magical constructs, all of which generally had no susceptibility to viruses, did. It barely occurred to him that not might consider his comings and goings of the utmost importance.
"It should be a castle," Zetta continued. "Not as good as my castle. But castles are the best."
It did occur to Katara that Zetta could get out easily because he was a book, but she wasn't going to be rude. "That's good to know: I've been trying to prep the hotel, just in case it ever gets attacked like with the zombies."
She laughed. "We work with what we can, Overlord Zetta. AS it turns out, a hotel is actually pretty good housing, and I can talk to multiple people from one room with the PA system there."
"Oh." Zetta also hadn't even stopped to think that they were limited in the selection. "Well, it really depends. Is it a permanent home for people? Assigned rooms or rotating? What other needs do you have?"
"It's not a place that I stay," Katara says, "but there are a few of the members that stay there too. We don't assign rooms to anyone though. There are plenty of room for everyone, so they can have their own room. I have the presidential Suite though, for nostalgia's sake."
She thought a moment. "We need more people to train others, I have to make a few alterations to the hotel...and I have to figure out some more things for the Outsiders to do."
"Actually, once things settle down a little, I HAD planned to start up some training classes in the sensoriums," Zetta said. "If you guys wanna do a 'fight as a team' training thing, I can accommodate that.
"As for other things to do? Hmmmm." The Overlord lapsed into a thoughtful silence as he pondered the matter. None of his usual activities applied here, really. Oh sure, maybe he could somehow trick the girls into giving him a sponge bath and spa treatment, but he was a book, it just didn't have the same appeal. (Besides, how OLD were these girls anyway? Why did Zetta seem to be surrounded by adolescent girls on this ship?) But trying to think of something new made it a challenge, and the badass freakin' Ovelord couldn't wouldn't back down from a challenge!
"That sounds like a great idea!" Katara exclaimed. "I was looking for a way to get them to train. I'll have to get some of the younger kids not to try that yet but I'm sure some of the older ones can give it a chance."
"What other things did you have in mind?" Katara asked, blissfully unaware of what was on his mind, luckily. "Any team building activity would be appreciated!"
"Ha! Youth should never be a barrier! I started training when I was only eight hundred or so! I don't know what that means for you, but I know it was younger than you are now. Not that I think you're eight hundred. But if I was you when I was eight hundred... I'd... be.. not... eight hundred... you... not..."
The Overlord trailed off as he lost the thread of what he was saying. After a moment of vigorous thinking, he finally came up with... something entirely unrelated. "So, how many people are we talking about here anyway? I mean, there's you, there's Starfire, there's that... one kid who was on the Omnicomms the other day... "

She paused. "Are you able to help in anyway?"
