First Invasion - In which there is one drenched Irken

[zim]

Characters: ZIM and anyone
Location: The plaza
Time: Around noon...?
Style: Any~
Status: OPEN

[If you decide it is a nice day to take a walk around the city and somehow happen to cross the plaza, you may come across an interesting scene. There is a short, green and wet person that seems to be very busy trashing around on the floor, running in circles and, well... Screaming.]

THE BURNING! THE BURNIIING!! Pain, oh horrible PAIN!

[He has not noticed yet, but right at that moment Zim is making a scene out in the open without even wearing his disguise. And that is how the short alien stops his flailing for a bit to point up at nothing in particular and yell on.]

Horrible, Earthen LIQUID! How DARE you do this to ZIM?! YOU WILL PAY HORRIBLY FOR THIS!!

[Catch! But then it goes back again, shit she doesn't want it.]

Okay, whatever! You can stay wet if you want, I just noticed you were new and freaking out. Sorry for trying to help, I guess!

...And I'm not playing your little war game, either. I need to get the grocery shopping done.

[zim]

GAH!

[Totally using those tiny claws of his to block the incoming towel. This is followed by some glaring for the cloth. Followed by glaring at the girl again.]

Do I look like I need any help from you filthy dirt child?!

[heartandsoul]

[BUT IT'S NOT TRUE, SHE SHOWERS REGULARLY.]

Filthy? That's rich coming from someone that looks like he's allergic to water! And yes actually, the screaming and running around in circles usually indicates a need for assistance in human cultures.

[zim]

[Freeze.]

Human culture?!

[Yepp, Zim. HUMAN culture. Now... Note that twitch? Right. That's the twitch of realization. And then he quickly reaches up to check on his disguise. Which is... Well. Missing.

So there goes the screaming again.]

KYAAAAHHH!!

2/2

[zim]

[But he interupts himself, trying to seem calm and collected again.]

Eh- ahaha... Ri~ght! So, uhmm... How do you like my... Costume!? Huh? My fellow human Earth creature.

[Zim gives a nervous laugh and reaches up to pull on one of his antennae, flinching visibly.]

Alien costume. Quite convincing, huh? He-heh. Was a lot of work yes!

[heartandsoul]

[...No, sorry, Zim. Maka's grade-A at identifying non-humans.

Also she lives with one.]

I'm not doing it right now or anything, but...I can see souls. And if I looked at you, I would probably see a non-human soul. [Or maybe a floating pig.] It's okay, it's not a big deal that you're an alien, there are lots of aliens here.

[Is this what getting a migraine feels like? Because she might be getting a migraine.]

2/3

[zim]

3/3 - I need to upload more icons.

[zim]

Wait. Other aliens, you say?!

[heartandsoul]

Well, of course. There's also the trolls from Alternia...they're gray-skinned and have horns, then there's the gods and demons--of course that's stretching the term "alien" to the different from the norm in general category. There are probably a lot more that I haven't even met yet, but you get the point, you're not the only one that's not a human. So you don't have to freak out.

[zim]

[He thinks about that for a moment, then waves it off.]

Ah, don't be silly! Every smeet knows that there is no planet by that name! You must be mistaking them for Vortians.

[Why, distracted easily? But of course.]

[heartandsoul]

[Welp at least he's given up on the I'M TOTALLY NOT AN ALIEN schtick.]

Um. Okay, whatever a smeet is, no, I'm not mistaken. Maybe there's no planet called Alternia in your universe, as far as I know there isn't one in mine, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

[Never mind that the universe is an incredible bag of bigness and they can't ~completely know~]

You'll meet one of them soon enough, probably. There are quite a few here. So...what's your name? I'm Maka.

[zim]

[Probably not given up, just been distracted from it, sorry.]

So you are implying the existence of multiple universes? Let Zim assure you: That is stupid! Just as stupid as claiming that there is some alternate Halloween-dimension brought into existence by the giant head of some moronic dirt-child!

[Yepp, he sounds totally convinced of this. Being hypocritical again much?]

[heartandsoul]

...Is it normal for your species to refer to yourselves in the third person? Because it's sort of distracting. You said something about Halloween and dirt again?

[zim]

What? Halloween?!

[And that's two antennae perking up all of the sudden. Too bad he entirely missed that first question.]

Don't tell me it's Halloween again! GAHH!!

[Some more flailing again and the frantic screaming is back.]

I need to increase the base's security systems! Quickly!

[Now this is where he attempts to run off... Totally ignoring that he has no idea of where he is.]

[heartandsoul]

--Hey, genius, you don't even have your base here!

And of course it's not Halloween, it's February. Sheesh, I think you should get a calendar first.

[zim]

[Have an abrupt stop and one smallish green alien turn around towards you to... Well. Glare again.]

You tried to fool ZIM?!

[heartandsoul]

Huh? No...you just jumped to conclusions.

[She's starting to get shades of Black*Star here.]

You can go get a new place, though. Everything is free here as long as we show them the mark we get on our bodies when we arrive.

[zim]

Mark? Wait! What mark?!

[Back to being frantic we are. Also he is now checking every possible bit of himself. With total disregard that everything but his head is stuck in his uniform, of course.]

No one marks ZIM without permission! And even then! I am ZIM!!

[Sorry, Maka. He's just sort of a moron.]

[heartandsoul]

Okay, yeah, I can't blame you for being annoyed about that. I didn't like it so much when I found out either, but it doesn't matter if you're ZIM [she mimics his voice there] everyone gets marked automatically.

[zim]

By whom?

[Yepp, that's one tiny antennae twitching in apparent irritation. But oddly enough he does sound calmer now. Plotting something again, Zim?]

[heartandsoul]

That I'm not entirely clear on. Since the coral pulls us here, though, and the mark what lets us experience the coral's effects I'm going to assume that it was the coral.

[Oh wait. He might not know what coral is. So she'll point it out.]

The big spiky thing that was near you when you washed up here, I mean.
