The Garden Car

Visitors to the garden car, no matter when, always endure the same ritual: a greeting by a curious woman, armed with a sword and apparently of the opinion that wide belts were perfect substitutes for shirts. With a rather vapid smile, she simply said, "Welcome to the domain of the Overlord."

Inside the garden car, as always, milled a half-dozen people with the same vapid cheer as the girl outside. Some of them were even walking in place, living up to their role as NPCs. A couple of others had the engine of a beat-up old truck half out, while from beneath said engine a pair of legs kicked futilely. Slight technical problems, don't mind that. And in the center of it all, atop a small mound of stones, floated a book -- who was yelling at three patchwork, peg-legged penguin things.

"I told you to steal a proper throne, damn it!"

Fun and Games

"Hyaaaha ha ha ha ha!"

Possibly the weirdest sight to date: a floating book with a VR headset rather haphazardly strapped on, cackling maniacally as a minion listened to his orders and relayed inputs on a controller.

"Yes! Ram the hero into the tree again! Five hit points down every time! Stupid hero, how dare you try to save the day?! This is what you deserve!"

Yes, Zetta was taking great joy in stupidly suiciding the young adventurer out to save the day. After all, humiliating heroes was part of his duty as an Overlord!

"Just in case you try to make a point about it not being 'badass' enough or something," Nita remarked, brushing her hands off.

She wasn't in a hurry to explain how it worked, of course - that would defeat the point!
unfavorableinstigation: Nita looking directly at the viewer, mouth slightly open, as if she's in the middle of an important or unamused expression. (Focused)

Nita looked - almost - genuinely surprised by the offer.

"Might've given us all the wrong impression, commandeering a whole car of the train like this, but alright."

Nita stood up again, hands on her hips.

"If I give you the deactivation word for this shield, can you promise to play with that instead of the plant? Please?"
unfavorableinstigation: Nita looking right, holding a book. (I'm In The Book)

Her original purpose here settled, Nita set off back for the front exit.

"Do you really need the truck, though? How does it actually help you?"

"Having a word with the magma flows, and having a teleportation wizardry on hand."

Said Nita in an utter deadpan.

"And, preferably, backup."
unfavorableinstigation: It is dark, but Nita is inside reading a book. (Dark)

"Wouldn't be the first time," Nita muttered, then kept making her way out...

But she paused before leaving, pronouncing one clear word in the Speech.

"There; that's the shield-word, like I promised."

And a wizard does keep their promises.
