GIR!

[Oh what the fresh hell is this.

Zim's certainly a sight here, a panicky, vaguely smokey sight, judging from the shadows and background, he's perched on top of the pod he woke up in.]

GIR, I can't reach you through the communicator link, you better be on this frequency, GIR, LISTEN TO ME.

[That's right. He's assumed that this is a private conversation. Here we go-]

I'm surrounded by water and if you do not get here right now, GIR, RIGHT NOW, I'm going to burn to death, are you listening? I need you at my coordinates right now, GIR!

I'm at-

[A pause, because he... doesn't... know where the hell he is, or what his coordinates are, or probably what day it is. There's some aggravated grunting]

Look just... just figure it out! GET OVER HERE RIGHT NOW, AND DON'T LET ANYONE SEE YOU! If I fall in the water and die, you can't have any more waffles ever again! ... EVER.

EVER, GET OVER HERE!

[Poor little guy. :c

She's very gentle and careful with him, but get hold is secure, as she adjusts him, so she's holding him more upright, and closer to her chest.]

I won't let you go.

[And they're clear of the water in two steps.]

There. See? We got you out safe. Do you want me to put you down here?

YES!

[This is weird and he DOESN'T LIKE IT. He's already scrambling to get himself down the second they're clear of the water, his tongue jutting disdainfully out from between his teeth.]

What kind of person makes a cave full of smelly dirt water be the first place everyone wakes up in?!

This is a horrible kidnapping! GOD!

I'm going home, this is stupid.

Thanks for all your help, hair beast, don't tell anyone what you did today.

[Gosh he's wiggly.

She sets him down on his tiny feet, and squelches the instant urge to pluck him right back up.]

You're welcome, Zim. But I think you'll find getting home to be very difficult. We're all rather stuck here. I've been looking for a way out for months.

Yeah well that's you. I have experience escaping awful miserable planet prisons.

I'm a genius at it!

[You did it once, Zim.]

Have fun sucking at breaking out, I'm going home.

I'm fairly good at it myself, usually.

[It's like she's found a tiny green Edwin mixed with a dash of Tiax. Why is that so adorable to her?]

Well, if you need any help with it, I'm easy to find.

[Also, she's not actually leaving. She's hanging around to see if he'll need more help. Just in case.]

Not good enough!

You'll see, I won't even be here by tomorrow! Stupid filthy water prison planet- I'm going to blow this whole stupid place up!

ZIM NEEDS NO HELP!

[And... he's... yeah he's waiting for her to leave and... she's... not leaving aaaand....

There's some awkward little sounds... He scuffs his boot a little-]

Okay no seriously, get out.

[It takes a lot for her not to laugh and call him cute. He's clearly someone who wants to be taken seriously. A good friends would respect that.]

You sure you don't want even some directions? I know where there's a map you can have.

[Please stop scuffing your tiny tiny foot. She's not a saint.]

[Oh... shit.

That's right.

Directions. His GPS doesn't even work here, he's figured that shit out fast, shit yeah he's gonna need directions.]

Fine, fine! Gimme the stupid map! It's not even gonna matter in like an hour but whatever.

Maybe I can throw it at Dib when I get home.

[She'll just head out to the mechanical illusion and the kiosk, making sure not to go too fast.]

Is Dib your friend?

W-NO!

NEVER!

He is my most hated nemesis! The bane of my existence, my arch rival!

HE'S THE ONLY THING BETWEEN ME AND THE TOTAL CONQUEST OF EARTH! I've been battling THE DIB for control of the planet for... I dunno a year? ... A couple months?

....

I HATE HIM! And I'm gonna throw this stupid map at his big dumb head when I get home!

I see.

[Ohh. Best friend. Got it.

She grabs the folded map and hands it down to him.]

I'm sure he will be duly impressed with the tale of your escape.

HE BETTER BE!

[He snatches the map out of her hands, grumbling as he opens it up and glares at it.]

I bet it's his fault I'm even here! If he thinks this is going to stop my inevitable take-over of his crummy dirty gross germ infested planet, then he's even dumber than GIR.

Is Gir a nemesis too?

[She doesn't think so. Probably family, or something like it.]

....

[SOMETIMES. UNINTENTIONALLY.]

No, he's my robot servant. ... Hey, if you see a weird green dog around here, sticky, loud, smells of beef, I need you to tell him I'm here.

I told him not to talk to strangers, but he's gonna do it anyway, so I may as well try and work with that.

[A pet! She was close!]

I'll be sure to keep an eye out for him, and send him straight to you, if he arrives.

You know, if you decide to look around a while before you escape, they give you a free place to stay here in Genessia City, for a little while.

What, and live in a building full of CAMERAS?

ZIM IS NO FOOL!

I'll BUILD MY OWN HOUSE!

[lbr he won't, he better get that key to the apartments, he's gonna be in it for a while.]

[Her brow cable together in puzzlement, as she mother the word 'cameras'.]

Oh. Right. You mean the thing that shows us to each other on the device.

[She knew she'd heard that word before.]

Well, if you decide otherwise, the key in that box you woke up with is for the room. And you need the necklace too, if you want to move between the areas.

[She's not wearing hers. She just carries it around and users it when she needs it.]

What areas?

The what? Why would I need lace for my neck? I know what lace is, there wasn't any of that in there!

[Zim.

Zim the jewelry you boob.]

I didn't see any box!

[Yep.

That's right

he left that shit in the water cave go Zim.]

I-

Well-

[Where to even start?]

Stay here a moment. I'll get your box. It might have some of your belongings in it.

[She threw that last bit in, because after only 10 minutes of knowing him, she's already aware that he's a chronic arguer.

She'll just pop back into the cave and get his stuff.]

[welcome 2 ur life sye. He looks annoyed, but then, Zim is also chronically annoyed, on top of that chronic arguing, so you know.]

Fine.

... AND DON'T TAKE ANY OF IT! Everything in that box is ZIM'S!

[That he forgot inside the cave and had no idea was even his until this very moment. IT'S CLEARLY VERY IMPORTANT.]

[She stifles a giggle, getting herself together, as she picks up his box. He wouldn't be half as cute if he weren't small, and it is unfair to giggle about his tiny angry green kitten rage.

She's got it together when she comes back out.]

Here you go. Not even opened yet.

[So she didn't take any of your stuff, Zim.]

[He's still there, having gotten into the pamphlet stand to dig through the rest of them.

That's right.

He's in the stand now, pamphlets everywhere, lord only knows what he's looking for. He pops his head out when she comes back, before hopping out, scattering more maps just fucking everywhere.]

It's about time!

Show me this neck lace.

[Well. That's a mess.

She'll have to decide if she's going to clean it up. She knows he won't.

She's probably going to clean it up.]

It's pronounced necklace, not neck lace. They aren't always made of lace, you know.

[She kneels down and opens the box for him. And there is his stuff! Necklace included.]

This acts like a key, to get from the different cities.

Then why even call it neck lace?

[He's gonna keep calling it that. Forever. Fight him.

He snags everything out of the box, the device on his back clicking and opening for a moment as he jams all of it in there. Seems pretty roomy in there.

As for the pendant, he dangles it about for a moment, looking unimpressed.]

This doesn't even look like lace! It should be a neck chain! Humans are stupid.

... What part of it is the key part?

Well, it is most likely a generalizing term for ornamentation, wore around the neck. Some have been made of, yes, lace. Neck chain isn't inaccurate, but it doesn't flow off the tongue so nicely.

[You asked, friend.]

As far as I can tell, the entire thing is the key, not one given piece. So I wouldn't recommend taking it apart, if you want it to keep working.

[It's like she knows you, Zim.]
