Voice testing because I haven't played him IN FOREVER.

[agentm0thman]

Look, mun, I know this is really hard for you, having played a grown version of me for a while, but I'm pretty sure you aren't going to screw me up! I mean, he's still me, right? Essentially?

Okay so look mun, I'm sure I'm not nearly as rusty as you think I am! Look! All my joints work just fine! And my mouth still works too! And my brain still thinks... words... to speak things with? Okay so maybe I suck at that, not you.

See? No problem. Just drop me on in there, mun. You can do this! You...


You don't have the vaguest idea what to do with me now that you've got me, do you.

Great.

[smarmiest of asshole grins over here, pal]

I can tell your filthy mun what to do with you.

[agentm0thman]

[OH YEAH? HOW ABOUT SOME NOPE FOR THAT SHIT EATING GRIN OF YOURS.]

I don't think they listen to alien jerks like you, Zim.

[madethefiresbetter]

[how about some FUCK YOU]

Pity! I have quite a few ideas for you, Dib-stink! Most of them involve explosions.

[agentm0thman]

You wouldn't get away with it, you know.

[Maybe. Dib's not sure how this whole pan-universal thingy works. But he's SURE there's somebody around to get mad about kids exploding! But hey look, aloof Dib is suddenly aloof.]

But that's just as well, I guess. I know what your mun can do with you. It involves industrial barrels full of radioactive waste. The kind that doesn't mutate you.

[madethefiresbetter]

What good is radioactive waste if it doesn't mutate you!?

[agentm0thman]

Hideous melty burns. It dissolves even bone and metal!

[AND EVIL GRIN GOES HERE]

And I just so happen to know where to get some of that stuff! You'll be a puddle of goo before you can even figure out how to explode me!

[madethefiresbetter]

My pak has lasers, y'know. I could explode you right HERE AND NOW if I felt so inclined! Do you think I don't know where to get radioactive waste!?

[agentm0thman]

Yeah, well, your PAK is useless when I have an electromagnetic pulse generator that can short it out!

[Hey what's that Dib has in his jacket pocket? Could it be? IT IS! IT'S... what looks like a pen.]

I dare you to come anywhere near me, space chimp!

[madethefiresbetter]

[Zim sees your "pen" and snorts defiantly]

What're you gonna do with that? Get ink on my shirt!? PATHETIC!

[Okay so maybe calling Dib's bluff wasn't the smartest thing ever but Zim's an asshole so what do you expect. Zim steps forward as if DARING the little mutant to try anything]

[agentm0thman]

[Dib clicks the top of the pen and tosses it towards Zim the moment after the stupid alien walks ahead, and sure enough, it's giving one heck of an electromagnetic pulse out. Nothing deadly, just really, really annoying though. Aaaand he's stepping back from it, himself.]

YEAH! HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT?

[madethefiresbetter]

[FUCK Zim wasn't expecting the thing to ACTUALLY WORK. Zim's PAK brain thingy goes fuzzy for a moment and he stumbles backwards and falls on his little green ass. It takes him a second to recover, but once he DOES, he snarls and glares at his large headed nemesis]

I DON'T LIKE THAT! I DON'T LIKE THAT AT ALL!!

[well at least he was honest.]

[agentm0thman]

HA! good. That's only a taste of what I've got back at home! I've completely surrounded my entire home in a bubble of the stuff! I mean sure, we can't get any reception on the TV anymore and it makes me feel like I'm always being watched, BUT THAT'S A SMALL PRICE TO PAY!

[All of the smug.]

[madethefiresbetter]

I... don't have any reason to go to your house, though. Why would you do that? If I want to destroy you, I can just do it at skool!

[Fat lot of good all that smugness is going to do you against a zim that is too confused to give a fuck!]

[agentm0thman]

[The pen device stops giving off EMP after a certain time, and Dib walks up to collect it and put it back in his jacket.] Which is why I have this to protect me! Just think. Its range is exactly fifteen feet. It's silent, undetectable, and you sit only ten feet away from me. I could just... grab the wrong pen while doing a test!

[Dib WANTS you to start living in fear, Zim. Just like you have done to him time and again. It's your comeuppance or... something.]

[ex_shadowstep567]

Agent Mothman?

Wasn't mothman a giant monster movie from japan?

[agentm0thman]

You're thinking of Mothra. No, the Mothman is a cryptid which was sighted in West Virginia in the mid-1960s! He was supposedly larger than a human, with glowing red eyes and a gigantic wingspan! The story is, that he was a portent of a really bad disaster that would befall the city in which he was seen. Only a few weeks after they saw him, the only bridge into the city collapsed!

[He really loves that one. It's neat.]

[ex_shadowstep567]

Wonder if he's real?

You know, like in my world.

Becausse there are a lot of weird things in my world.

Like this evil clown man who is eight feet tall, fat as a sumo wrestler and has this big mout fulla spikey teeth in his gut.

[agentm0thman]

Wow! That's really weird! But I suppose anything's possible for a world with sapient felines.

[ex_shadowstep567]

Used to be a human once. Younger than you.

And for the record felines are those itty bitty kitties people keep as pets.

Lions are panthera leo. Panthers! Why does everyone not know that?

[agentm0thman]

Oh! Well I thought that all cats were under the same scientific family. That's my bad, but at least I learned something! Sorry for the misconception.

And you were? Wow! That's really amazing! Why are you a lion now?

[ex_shadowstep567]

Nuh. It's felidae. Close isn't it? I swear I will buy a soda for whover gets it right in casual conversation.

But... maybe I oughta not be so uptight either.


Uuh. Well there was this darkness monster who attacked me after infecting a lion so there was this transfer of DNA and I got turned into this and got shadowy powers all at once.

[agentm0thman]

It's a pretty common misconception, but I can understand your reasoning behind being a little prickly about it! I get pretty pedantic about stuff, myself.

[But that whole thing about the transference of genetics and powers? That's super cool!]

Do you know what kind of monster it was specifically? I haven't heard anything like that happen before! I mean sure, I've seen people get transformed into other creatures before, but nothing involving a malevolent spooky shadow spirit! I'd love to write a case about it.

[ex_shadowstep567]

Huurr... Eeyeah, and I always thought names and stuff for things were important. Like would you confuse salt and sugar? They're both crystal.

Anyway, they started calling that thing that did it an umbral beast. They're probably from another dimension or, that's what we think. It trapped my mom into her own shadow too.

[agentm0thman]

Umbral beast.

[Dib whips out a notepad to write that down and a few other details about it.]

Well, a lot of extradimensional creatures do possess the ability to shapeshift and to transfigure other beings as well, so that doesn't surprise me very much.

I'm guessing it's pretty bizarre, having to learn how to walk and stuff like that, when you're used to being bipedal. I'd get really confused over which foot comes first. But I suppose that's nothing to you, now. Second nature or something like it.

[ex_shadowstep567]

[He flops on his belly and rumbles at Dib. Any one should know there are automatic brownie points for humans who give the big kitty treats.]


I was really little back then though. Five. So it was just relearning everything. It was harder to relearn how to talk with this chip in my brain.
