ooc: i am not immune to deltarune

[hitchinnhikin]

Rancid water? Sun baking the planet? These things really didn't apply to out where she lived but she did know a place where they did.

"Wait, where have you been living all this time?" She asked. "I mean, you told me at first that you were just passing through but now that I know you've been hear for a year, where have you been?"

They arrived at the cabin and walked back inside. Mar peeked into the bathroom and sighed. She wasn't going to think about repairing that level of damage right now...

[irken-overlord]

ZIM scoffed at how forward she was being. "You needn't know the location of my base. But rest assured it's in a very strategic and brilliant location, near the heart of your human civilization." Well, one of the human civilizations. The settlement patterns of humans were unintuitive, but he was sure he chose a location with enough humans to weaken their defenses considerably when he, um, got around to it.

[hitchinnhikin]

"Well, first things first, I think the seasons." Mar said. "As a farmer seasons are very important to me and if you watch them as closely as I do, I bet you'll fall in love with at least one."

She glided her hand across the dewy grass as her breath fogged in the air. "Right now we're transitioning from winter to spring. The lambs have been born, the ground is almost ready to work. It's like the Earth is holding her breath and waiting.."

She spoke so dreamily about this dingy old planet that you would hardly guess that she spent most of her life at it's mercy. Toiling day after day through rain, sun, snow seemed to do the opposite of disenchant her in regards to nature.

[irken-overlord]

"Watch the seasons? What does that mean?" ZIM kicks the ground a little as he walks. "Waiting for what?"

"Believe it or not, I've been here a whole Earth year, and I've yet to fall in love with your seasons. Having rancid water fall from the sky, or an atmosphere so pathetically thin it lets your sun bake the planet is not my definition of 'a good thing.'"

i got it from the car store!

(He smiles, proud of himself.)

i saved up a whooole bunch of money!

[irken-overlord]

ZIM squints fiercely at the robot, searching for deception. Evidently, he doesn't find it.

"Yes, yes, GOOD! We pay for things. With money!" Whatever crowd ZIM had been trying to appease has long since left--not that ZIM's noticed.

[hitchinnhikin]

"Phew, you got that right." She sighed. "Well, will you come with me back to the house? Even though I tackled you?"

[irken-overlord]

ZIM didn't see the harm in it, but even so he had to give her a hard time.

"Still avoiding holding up your end of the deal," he chided, although his voice didn't hold any malice.

"You will tell me one thing that's useful about the Earth while we walk back. Then you can waste time sleeping," ZIM declared.

[mongoosepuppy]

do u liek it?? it haz a secret ingredient!!!

(Motor oil. It’s motor oil.)

[irken-overlord]

ZIM winces hard, but he must put on a convincing show. "Mmm. Yummy-" He gags. "So good!"

He turns away and whispers "GIR, where did you get this???"

[hitchinnhikin]

Mar sighed with relief before looking back at ZIM. "Alright..." She huffed, before offering her hand and helping him up. "I didn't squish you, did I? Are you hurt?"

As she did so, she stifled a gasp and looked down. In the blur of the chase, Mar didn't realize that she had ran through some kind of thorny brush. Her pant legs were torn and her skin was scratched up.

"Aw man..." She hissed. "I just got these.."

[irken-overlord]

"Of course not!" ZIM dusts himself off with a huff. "I've survived much worse than that!"

ZIM snickered, a high-pitched sound that seemed like it would grate on his vocal chords if he were human. "Pathetic human uniforms. Always so fragile."

[irken-overlord]

"Of course I celebrate my normal human emergence day. It's..." He had to think quickly. "TODAY! Yes! TODAY is the birthing day of ZIM!" Saved it.

[mongoosepuppy]

WAOWWW REALLY??? HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!

(He pulls an entire multi-tiered cake out of his nonexistent pocket.)

[irken-overlord]

ZIM coughs and winces slightly at the cake.

"Thank you, GIR! See! Normal human!" He plucks a bit of the cake off with his pointer finger and thumb and makes a show of putting it in his mouth, where it promptly starts steaming and burning.

"Witness my-" Ow- “Human birthday!” 

[hitchinnhikin]

Mar shot out from the bushes and pounced on ZIM. Panting and tired, she was able to pin him down in the freezing grass. "Wait!" She barked. "Just wait a second, alright? Please."

She caught her breath a bit before letting go of ZIM's wrists. She was surprisingly strong for a "pitiful human", in fact her farm weathered hands were like vices. She was heavy too.

"Listen..." She said. "I'm sure there's a lot of things about Earth that you don't understand." She climbed off of ZIM and sat on her knees which were now scrapped and bloody from tearing her way through the bushes.

"Before you annihilate us or take us as slaves or whatever you're planning to do, let me show you the thing that are *good* about Earth, ok?"

She looked into his reddish, bug-like eyes sternly but also almost pleading.

[irken-overlord]

ZIM was surprised as Mar jumped on top of him, momentarily stunned. It took a moment for awareness to return to him, and Mar narrowly avoided getting kicked by both of his small organic legs as she moved off of him.

As he listened to Mar’s plea, ZIM resisted the urge to recoil back from her intense gaze. He was tempted to refuse; he did not make alliances with humans… but it would be a misstep not to take free intel on what humans consider “good.” Maybe he’d even find something that could lower their defenses.

It’s not like he could easily leave. No. He wouldn’t think about that now.

“Hmmm….” ZIM made a show of thinking it over, and talked with a deliberately slow cadence. “I doubt there is anything of value the Earth can provide. Still… you are free to make your case.”

This is a recreation of a way smaller watercolor painting I did back in March. I liked it so much that I wanted to make a BIG ONE too!

[hitchinnhikin]

Mar's break was short lived as she heard the window shatter. She fumbled with the chair and the door before ditching it and tearing out the front door. She looked around before spotting ZIM racing down the path back out to the orchard.

She took off after him. She had no clue what to do when she caught him but she just couldn't let him reach the ship.

[irken-overlord]

ZIM didn't have time to think as he tore off towards the Voot. He didn't even let himself smirk as he passed small bits of jagged metal that promised he was closing in on it.

Then, he saw it. Really saw it for the first time, not clouded by pain or panic. The once perfectly acceptable glorious feat of IRKEN technology reduced to smoldering chunks. It would be a miracle if the engine was even salvageable.

Eyes wide, he forgot about the chase, and his pace slowed to a creep.

[random-iz-stuff]

I don’t think I can find a better example of Zim going easy on Dib even though Dib refuses to do the same than Issue 26.

Zim has his extremely sharp PAK legs out and is in the perfect position to skewer Dib in one shot, killing him instantly, but instead uses his legs as a blunt object, knocks him into a pile of muffins, and escapes without attempting to harm Dib further.

Meanwhile the first thing Dib does upon acquiring what he thinks is a gun is attempt to shoot Zim point blank.

[hitchinnhikin]

Mar quickly ducks as ZIM launches over her. She quickly put space between the two of them as he landed in the bathroom with a loud clatter. She backed away with her wrench still at the ready.

She was about to make another move until she came to a realization. She grabbed the doorknob and slammed the door closed, trapping ZIM inside. She slid a kitchen chair over and jammed it under the knob. Her heart pounded in her chest as she began to slowly her breathing. This would hold him off.

But what the hell should she do now!?

[irken-overlord]

ZIM jumped at the sound of the door slamming and fumbled more with the window. This time, he really did need to use his weapons. He retracted his top right PAK leg, refitting it with a laser gun inside the PAK. It reemerged and charged up. ZIM held both of his arms across his face as he loudly blasted the glass window, shattering it twelve inches from his face.

Not wasting another moment, he scrambled out.

[hitchinnhikin]

"You just admitted that you're going to destroy my planet." She said as she slowly continued to approach ZIM, gripping the wrench tightly. "This is my home and I can't let you do that without a fight."

She could see him gesturing to the door. She couldn't let him leave. Who knows what he had planned once he got his ship fixed.

[irken-overlord]

ZIM put up his arms in a placating motion and bared his teeth, trying to think up a way out of this. He couldn’t turn his back on her like a coward and run towards the door—he was a mighty IRKEN INVADER!

But, maybe… He spots the bathroom window and very suddenly retracts his PAK legs. He LEAPS, intending to soar above the shoulder opposite of where Mar was holding the wrench, to claw at the closed window. It was a very dignified tactical maneuver.

[hitchinnhikin]

Mar backed away quickly, bumping into the sink as ZIM began to pound his fists on the door. "Ohmygodohmygodohmygod..." Mar whispered to herself, clutching her hair. As if it wasn't insane enough that an alien crashed onto her farm, he's also some kind of invader!? And she let him into her house!?!

"Ok..." She huffed. "Okokok...what do I do?" She began to frantically look around for some way to escape or at least hide. She grew more and more panicked until finally she looked at herself in the mirror and...realized something.

She was 5'3. Small for a human but towering over that alien. She was nearly 200 pounds. She wakes up and does hard labor all day, everyday. Compared to ZIM, she was huge.

She took a breath and reached under the kitchen sink and grabbed a wrench before facing the door. She twisted the handle and stood back.

[irken-overlord]

ZIM growled and backed away from the closed door, gearing up twin blasters in his PAK. He intended to blow the doorknob off, but by the time Mar opened the door, the blasters were just barely peaking out of his PAK where his top two spider legs would normally be.

He quickly slid them back in and grinned; a momentary feeling of victory overcame him.

“Finally! You’ve seen the error of your ways- ah.” And then he spotted the wrench.

His smile became strained. Curiously, he found himself backing away without any conscious thought. He could take Mar—he’s faced bigger foes, both during his elite military training and in the field—so why was he backing away?

“So about that whole ‘helping me’ business: it turns out I don’t need help at all,” he gave a strained laugh, trying to play all of this off casually. “After all, ‘I am ZIM’ you know? I’m just gonna-“ He gestured towards the door.

[hitchinnhikin]

Her eyes narrowed as she slowly stood up and put distance between her and the alien. She was debating as to whether she should look for something to defend herself with or not.

This changed everything.

She obviously couldn't help him with fixing his ship but now was unsure how he would react if she refused. Would he force her? Would he be willing to *kill* to keep this secret?

She stood quiet and still for a while, just staring at ZIM. Suddenly she made a break for it and dashed into the bathroom. She slammed the door and locked it.

[irken-overlord]

ZIM growled in frustration. Humans! Why must they cower in fear whenever it isn't helpful for him?

After Mar slams the door, he belatedly chases her down. He slams against the wood door with both fists. "We made a deal! Does that mean nothing to you??"

Why won't she just help her future overlord?
