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!

Oh, you can't swim? I'm sure there's somewhere you can enroll for lessons.

WHY WOULD I WANT TO SWIM?!

ARE YOU TRYING TO GET ME TO DIE?! YOU'RE AWFUL!

[fashionably_strong]

The whole point of getting swimming lessons is so that you don't die in the water. Or is water itself harmful to you?

[spaceroach]

YES!

YES IT IS!

I'll BURN TO DEATH! I JUST SAID THAT!!

[fashionably_strong]

[Well, that explains him being so high strung.]

I wasn't paying attention to the conversations you had with other people. Sorry about that. Is someone coming to help you out of there? Water won't hurt me.

[spaceroach]

My stupid robot should have been here forever ago, so I DON'T KNOW!

[WOOP! Woop woop almost slipped there, watch the angry hopping, little man.]

[fashionably_strong]

How about I help you get to dry land? Your message might not have gotten through to him.

[She would feel bad, leaving him where he could be hurt. She's assuming that's why he's so high strung.]

[spaceroach]

He probably filled his head with syrup and bacon again and gummed up his radio receiver.

Like an idiot.

FINE, come and assist Zim. But if this is a trap I'm going to melt all your skin off.

[fashionably_strong]

[Bulla raises an eyebrow. The fact that this guy says "again" in relation to his robot filling his head with syrup and bacon has her raising her eyebrows. She has so many questions, but she's not sure if she wants to hear the answers.]

I've got no reason to trap you.

[She'd add in that she doesn't trap people she's only just met or that she wouldn't trap people...but she did take that one bounty to go after the air conditioner thief. So she sticks with the part that's true.]

[spaceroach]

I'll be the judge of THAT.

Are you coming or not?

[fashionably_strong]

I'll be there shortly.

[She's already left. The background is a blur if he's looking carefully.]

[spaceroach]

[Zim doesn't look at a lot of things carefully.

As it is, he's probably already not looking at the pod he's standing on that carefully, much to his own detriment.]

Also what stupid planet is this?

[fashionably_strong]

It's not a planet. It's a multiversal nexus point. The city you're in is called Genessia. If you've been to multiple planets, Nova City is probably the city you'd like best of the five here.

[spaceroach]

What, like the dimension consisting of a single room with a moose in it?

[Don't ask.]

... Wow, these little pocket dimensions got really complicated since my last reading of them. Huh.

Well that's all great and stuff, but I'm going to need to not be here anymore.

[fashionably_strong]

Did that dimension draw in people from many different universes? Because that's what this one does.
