☆ NMBH1 :
❝ well , OF COURSE , they don’t . they’re an accessory , not a weapon . if i WANTED to shoot lasers i would use one of my many firearms . ❞
❝ HAH ! YOUR pathetic human-child excuses don’t fool me -- there’s no way you possess many firearms, let alone any. Nice try at impressing me -- BUT I’M NOT IMPRESSED ! ❞
❝ BY THE way, even if they are just for show ... they look STUPID, and I HATE THEM. ❞
☆ URTHSAVIOR :
Dib grins from ear to ear as he looks at the alien. Finally, he was the one with the upper hand. “ I have you right where I want you, Zim ! ” Holding up a cup of juice, the boy quickly splashes it in his enemy’s face, jeering && pointing mockingly when he does so.
IT BURNS -- IT BURNS !! Oh, the cranberry-flavored AGONY -- he screams, the juice sizzling upon contact with his hideous alien skin, smoke drifting in tendrils from the impact.
❝ RRRGGGHHHH -- DIB !! ❞ he seethes, a lingering smell of burnt paper wafting from him. It’d be fitting retaliation to vaporize him where he stands: however, his vaporizing kit is at home, and it’d be unwise to cause such a commotion in the school cafeteria. He, instead, opts to take a healthy dollop of the coagulated white goo that passed as mash potatoes onto a spoon, and flings it at Dib’s enormous head.

❝ DO YOU happen to have a, uh ... skin condition as well ? ❞
☆ HEBELIEVED :
Excitement boils at the pit of his stomach. This is it! The moment of truth has finally arrived! Dib chuckles stupidly; for once, a device from the mall’s wizarding store really works! Zim is his. No one can stop him now! Not even the police…or Zim’s weird robot-parent-doodads!
“HAHAHA! JUST YOU WAIT ZIM! YOU HAVEN’T SEEN NOTHING YET!” He’ll smirk. “According to the instruction manual, it should take five to ten minutes for the full hypnotic affect to take place!”
And so…he waits. And he waits. And the only thing Dib is sure of, is that Zim has sneezed up a lung at this point ( sadly, not literally ). His malicious grin turns to a disheartened frown. “…Is it not working?” He’ll give the cheap gadget around his wrist a quick jostle. “Is this thing just making you sneeze or what…” He’ll inquire, pressing a finger to his chin. “Uh lets test it out, I guess…
“Hey, Zim! Do a STUPID dance!”
HE STOPS, practically mid-sneeze, snapping out of his allergic reverie to jolt into rigor-mortis stiffness: his actions are hardly his own, and the hideous compulsion seems to overtake him once more. Tiny gloved hands ball into fists as his knees creak into a bend, and he GNASHES his teeth together in acrimony as he -- ABSOLUTELY UNWILLINGLY -- begins to do a li’l jig.
❝ DIB ! ❞ HE shouts, his scream so ear-piercingly shattering it disturbs the birds in the nearby trees, ❝ CURSE YOU ! CURSE YOU DIB ! ❞ he continues to scream as he jigs, alternating hopping from booted foot to booted foot. He screams and jigs. Jigs and screams.
HIS SENSE of rhythm is impeccable and his technique flawless -- he would make the finest Irishmen WEEP at his jig prowess, but that isn’t the point. HE DOES NOT WANT TO BE DOING A JIG.
☆ MCRTIMERSMITH :
“You should probably WORK on making a sign for it.”
Why was it so FUN picking on the little alien? He always got so….DEFENSIVE whenever Mortimer came back to this version of EARTH. Although, here it was plenty more TECHNOLOGICALLY ADVANCED to the other versions he’s been to.
“Although. Considering I AM HUMAN, it’s hard to not show up here.”
❝ I’M WORKING on it, ❞ he gripes angrily, casting thoughts back to the ugly cardboard sign abominations GIR made the other day. GIR is hardly literate and wrote most of it with ketchup. ZIM had to throw them out because they were attracting ants.
❝ YOU MIGHT be an inferior, filthy Earthling, ❞ he seethes, ❝ but you are NOT from this dimension. GO BACK TO YOUR OWN !! Surely there’s a version of ME there that is JUST as amazing -- probably not more amazing, since I think that’s scientifically impossible -- and that other dimensional me would be glad to yell at you so I DON’T HAVE TO. ❞
☆ ESTABLISHED TRANSMISSION WITH : @wastelck
❝ DIB -- DIB !! Are you prepared ... to meet your COMPLETE and UTTER DEMISE ?! Even if you aren’t, it’s STILL HAPPENING ! Oh, just you wait, human, when I -- ❞
❝ OH. WELL. Okay. You’re not Dib. ❞
☆ MANENIMITTLIV :
Petting the dog was incredibly tempting. Even if she could see that it wasn’t actually a dog. She’d managed to live without all of her brain once… It wasn’t exactly something she was willing to repeat, however.
“What sort of normal human science class are you taking? I’ve taught a few and we’ve never used actual human organs.” Clearly, that was the right thing to ask.
❝ DO NOT question ME, hideous beast of MEAT and HAIR, ❞ he demands SHRILLY, before he clears his throat and momentarily composes himself. ❝ It’s, eh ... science ... class. Schmience class. Science-schmience. Y’know. ❞
❝ SO, ❞ HE continues -- there are more pressing matters at hand. ❝ Is that a ... yes ? You can keep your brain while you pet my dog. I’ll remove it after. ❞
☆ ESTABLISHED TRANSMISSION WITH : @tresinked
❝ I DIDN’T hear you. Probably ‘cause I wasn’t really listening. ❞
❝ THIS ISN’T an invitation to repeat what you said, by the way, because I really don’t care. ❞
☆ HEBELIEVED :
With age, the world became visibly grayer. All the color - the passion within him - was leeched by some occult force. There existed an unspoken rule, that in preparation for adulthood, one must abandon their youthful optimism, their wanderlust. Dib was no exception.
These days, he works a dreadful nine-to-five job at a tech company just north of town. Some haphazard siege of teenage rebellion had captured his heart, and never seemed to extinguish; it is why he refused to work for his father. Despite nearing his thirties ( twenty-eight … twenty-eight is just another way to measure his body’s yearly decay until death ) , his eternal grudge remains.
Sometimes, Dib will take his laptop to a small cafe in town, simply to people-watch. He is terribly lonely. And though he has no intrinsic connection with any of these strangers, their presence alone is comforting. This way, Dib’s personal bubble remains uncontaminated, but he is wholly led to believe that he’s thriving. ( Nothing like a rando making eye-contact with you that screams ‘I have friends! I’m sociable and totally not a shady-looking dude in a trench coat! )
Dib sighs, cheeks hollowing as he takes drag from his cigarette. His stare is vacant and tired as he stares at the computer monitor: it’s not even turned on, but set on idle.
OH, HOW he’s waited.
IT’S BEEN difficult -- patience is not among his many virtues ! -- but perhaps the sweet, sweet taste of DELICIOUS SUCCESS would make it all worth the while, if only he could bide his time and wait a little longer. It’s been a terrible, miserable smear of drudgery without his esteemed enemy being a thorn in his side, but the look of utter horror that ought to cross Dib’s face when he realizes he’s never really left will surely be the cherry on top of his vengeance sundae. ( Sixteen scoops tall; one for every year he’s -- okay, nevermind, Zim thinks, this metaphor is going absolutely nowhere. )
EVEN AFTER a decade and a half, human technology has crept along at the pace of a GLORBIAN WEB-SPINNING SNAIL. Dib’s fancy, state-of-the-art computer is nothing more than a paltry smeet’s plaything compared to Zim’s tech, outdated as it is from his time far from the Empire. Dib really ought to pay attention to his screen: someone seems to be sending him a message.
HELLO, DIB. _
THE TEXT flashes across his screen in a new window, black, plain, and giving no indication as to who the sender could be.
NICE SECURITY ON YOUR COMPUTER. IT TOOK ME THIRTY SECONDS TO BYPASS IT. NOT THAT YOU CAN EVEN COUNT TO THIRTY. _
A MOMENT passes.
BECAUSE YOU’RE STUPID. _
ah yes, look at this perfectly normal human boy child. i sure enjoy your normalcy you tiny beanarooni. why, as a perfectly normal human child surely you will partake in the biyearly jumping off a cliff ritual! as of course you may have heard the saying that encourages such activities. only instead of jumping of a cliff, you'll jump into this cage labeled "not an alien lifeform" to show your boyness. and then promptly shipped from the nongovernment colored van back to your home
"hey! heyyyyy! i have some irken snacks, do you want some? there's plenty to share!"
❝ Y E S !! ❞
❝ OH, YOU would not BELIEVE how much I’ve missed this stuff. The food on Earth is garbage – GARBAGE !! It makes me sick to my squeedly spooch. Humans gorge themselves on literal sewage and I have to sit here pretending to ENJOY MYSELF when I’m presented with it. UGH – OH, and GIR wants some, too. ❞
Losers try to tell me I emit "nuclear radiation", like thats my vibe idiot
☆ ESTABLISHED TRANSMISSION WITH : @sweet-smarts
❝ IT’S IMPRESSIVE -- not as impressive as what I’VE BUILT, but impressive nonetheless. ❞
❝ IRKEN MILITARY tech is the most ADVANCED GADGETRY in the known universe -- the Vortians had us beat, so we, y’know, annihilated their government and enslaved them to build stuff for us. Pretty cool, right ? ❞
☆ PCRTICLVOID :
“Riiiight, doomsday machines… rentals. I don’t recall any businesses auctioning off any type of machinery, nonetheless doomsday devices—as I’m pretty certain they would’ve secured a sponsorship slot in my broadcast…”
It was likely that a small, radioactive-ridden child asking for such items would be seen as concerning at the very best, catastrophic at the very worst, but really - if Cecil received a paycheck for every time the topic of apocalypse-generating tools were discussed, he would be able to afford a much larger apartment by now. Considering how often the end of the world occurred, this was fairly routine.
“I’m likely not the best candidate for discussing Armageddon and its potential causes, as I’ll probably be too busy reporting the numerous fires, break-ins, and hellish beasts intruding on our once relatively peaceful burg, but I’m sure I can refer you to someone?”
Nimble digits carelessly flip through documents, likely previous segments, present segments, orfuture segments that are subject to change any second from now, concentration evident. Surely such a proposal had come up at a time—it was practically (and metaphorically, literally) illegalnot to memorize the coordinates of each and every device that could procure any fatality. After tossing a few pages out, adding a few in, and scribbling a few words in a totally undoctored style that was definitely not supposed to mimic the handwriting of the Station Management.
“… Have you tried the Ralphs by the Dog Park?“
HIS SOMEWHAT diminutive stature makes it difficult to get a good look at the papers Cecil is fussing with: even perched on the chair, he can barely see over the edge of the desk. Not a problem. He decides to stand on the chair, slamming tiny hands down onto the desk as he smacks Cecil’s nimble fingers away from the papers, sweeping them into a tidy pile.
❝ I’LL JUST go through these myself, ❞ he coolly explains, ❝ ’cause I’m sure you missed something. I saw a billboard advertising doomsday machines when I flewAAGHHH -- I mean -- I MEAN, when I drove here. But I wasn’t the one driving, because I’m a mere earth larvae, and I haven’t won my battle against the driving instructor yet. GIR ! Take these papers for the computer to sort through later, ❞ he commands, and his obviously-not-robotic doggy salutes him from under the desk as he opens his mouth wide to inhale all the papers, as voracious as a vacuum cleaner.
❝ PAPERS TASTIN’ LIKE KALE, ❞ GIR offers. Zim shushes him -- talking could blow their cover ! After all, Earth dogs do not speak.
❝ OF COURSE I have ! Wait -- no, actually, I haven’t, ❞ he remembers -- he’s accomplished so many amazing feats, they blur together in the larger scheme of things. ❝ What is at this Ralphs by the Dog Park, and what sort of secrets are to be unlocked there ? ❞
