MEANWHILE in Commons [closed w/ Zim]

[fadedscarlet]

- Action -

[This red-head was getting to the point where the Commons Apartments were really boring. There was nothing but boring and confused people everywhere. On top of that the place was beyond cramped. Thank evilness that they nabbed a job at the library and is picking up some sweet goods from others. It was definitely time to look for a place of their own.

Their thoughts were cancelled when spying upon a small, green, bug-like creature--wait. That looked like an alien. No, everyone's an alien here, but this one looked like an alien portrayed by Earth. How exquisite. It was so loud and..

Zim's backpack caught Kii's greedy eyes. Now THAT would be something to have! They bet it would sell for a LOT of money on the market. Being discreit and following behind the green one, Kii was finding it..easier than expected. When it was time to strike, the Demon came close and attempted to take Zim's backpack away.

In a hushed voice, while reaching out, Kii whispered]

Gotchaaa...

[First: Yes. Zim was loud, it was one of the very few things he was remarkably good at, without fail. He had exactly two volume settings: LOUD and 'broken windows'.

At the moment, he was hovering around a modest LOUD. Bitching about something frankly not even terrifically important, looked like it might be related to how the buildings here were spaced. A lot of pointless kvetching about how far apart they all were and how dumb blocks were.

Second: While anyone else with Zim's less than stellar observation skills would have missed their backpack being taken from them, Zim had a leg up in this area.

In the fact that it was fuckin' attached.

So if that pak moved, well, so would Zim.

Kii touched his pak, and that was grounds for immediate retribution in the form of a reflexive SCREAM and one balled up map being thrown directly at the demon's face.]

GET AWAY FROM ZIM!

[OH GODS THEIR EARS WERE BLEEDING. Kii grasped their ears and snarled]

I JUST bumped into you! Fuck! Don't make me punt you to the sun!

[Also that backpack was attached..welp]

You know, there's such a thing as whispering? ?? Have you heard? Probably not you deaf punk!

[spaceroach]

WELL GO BUMP INTO SOMEONE ELSE!

[This was followed up with a second hurled balled up map, pulled from the depths of the pak, of which had now clicked open to allow Zim to hurl all the random garbage he'd collected and stuffed into it.]

WHY WOULD I WHISPER?!

I LIVE HERE, YOU CAN'T TELL ZIM WHAT TO DO!

I CAN YELL AS LOUD AS I WANT!

[fadedscarlet]

[Kii flinched at the ball being thrown at their face] Hey!

Fuck! Stop! WELL I LIVE HERE TOO YOU PEST!

[like the very mature person they were, the Demon picked up the map and other balls of garbage that was thrown at them, and threw them back harder]

By the way YOUR HATRED IS DELICIOUS! I'll be at full power at this rate!

[spaceroach]

WELL I LIVE HERE MORE!

[Which frankly, doesn't make sense and is a terrible counterpoint but it's the one he's going with.

BAP. Garbage in Zim's face. With an enraged SHRIEK, he darts over to snag a small waste basket, because now we're stepping it up a notch.]

I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS!

[fadedscarlet]

[HOLY GODS THAT SHRIEK, Kii grabbed their head to get that ringing out but it didn't suffice, so the red-head went to try to kick the small alien away]

IT MEANS THAT I LIVE HERE MORE AND I'M SUCKING THE LIFE OUT OF YOU, YOU LITTLE WORM!
