SLEUTH DIB!
Skitterklat: OMG! You know what would be one of the funniest AUs EVER? (In my opinion)
Skitterklat: SLEUTH DIB!
RandomLurkerJ: ooh, with the little hat and the coat and big magnifiying glass? XD
Skitterklat: "The name's Dib. No last name- but don't call me Dib. Call me DETECTIVE Dib."
Skitterklat: Yes!
RandomLurkerJ: *DED*
Skitterklat: "That's Gaz- one of the nastiest bitches you'll ever happen to cross. She has purple hair and a mean throwing arm. She's my landlady, and also happens to be my younger sister.
...Doesn't mean she cuts me any slack on the rent."
RandomLurkerJ: HAHAHHAA NOIR Dib.
RandomLurkerJ: YES YES YES
RandomLurkerJ: gogogo!
Skitterklat: "It was a miserable day in Ney York- it made the beer I kept under my desk warm as piss. That was too bad, because I sure wouldn't have minded getting drunk after dealing with this client."
RandomLurkerJ: "She was old. REAL old.
Skitterklat: XD!
Skitterklat: AHAHAHAH YOU'RE THINKING BITTERS, AREN'T YOU?
Skitterklat: I was gonna go with Zita but that's even better!
RandomLurkerJ: "The kind of old that makes me feel young. And I'm not old. What the hell am I saying... fuck. Back up. Start again. Put an 1/8th of a shot in me... better. Now. She was old. "
Skitterklat: *ded* YES YES YES. I'm pasting this convo into livejournal- you don't mind, right?
RandomLurkerJ: nah XD
Skitterklat: Yay! <3
Skitterklat: "The kind of old, like, the rat skeletons you find in your Granny's hope chests kind of old. Thin and nasty and dry as a bone. She had a spitty way of talking and a mustach (sp?) to match. The two feet of my desk wasn't enough distance between us, and I leaned back my rickety old chair to escape the flying spit."
Skitterklat: Who should Zim be? The criminal or a rival detective? XD
RandomLurkerJ: "She brought pictures, slapped them down on my desk with a hiss. Missing child. I picked up the photos. Strange kid. Green skin. No ears. I specifically noticed the ears, or the lack of them. Maybe it means something. Maybe it's important. Hmm."
Skitterklat: "He was dressed in a tight red wool suit in one of them, holding a little green puppy and looking grouchy. He looked like a Christmas present all done up in red and green and I had to feel sorry for him like that."
Skitterklat: Missing person, or does she think he's done it?
RandomLurkerJ: Hmmm. Since this is AU, let's say her only relative, who she thinks has run away.
Skitterklat: *completely killed*
RandomLurkerJ: "I could see why he ran away. Anyone who made ME wear a sweater like that would be eating lead for brunch with a side of knuckle sandwich."
Skitterklat: ...*totally ded*
RandomLurkerJ: "But the hellbtich downstairs wants her rent, and I'm not getting any younger sitting here in the dark, staring at dirty old UFO magazines waiting for the phone to ring. I took the case. I didn't take her hand. I swear I saw something crawling on her. The air felt ten degrees warmer when she was gone."
Skitterklat: AHAHAHAHHH..
Skitterklat: He needs an assistant.
Skitterklat: I'm thinking... Keef, maybe?
Skitterklat: But I don't know.
Skitterklat: Gretchen?
Skitterklat: Maybe Gretchen can be the cute and innocent love interest. XD
RandomLurkerJ: nono, gretchen's the hot dame.
RandomLurkerJ: Works as a singer in a nightclub.
Skitterklat: Hot dame! Yes! loloolol. XD
Skitterklat: So... KEef, do you think?
Skitterklat: Or maybe Skoodge? Or should Skoodge be Zim's concerned best friend?
RandomLurkerJ: hmmmm.
RandomLurkerJ: Skoodge is a stool pigeon XD
Skitterklat: Stool pigeon? XD
RandomLurkerJ: I think it'd be funnier if all the other characters were Irken except Dib.
RandomLurkerJ: Yeah, stool pigeon- sits on a chair and sings (i.e. government witness, paid informant.)
Skitterklat: And Bitters and Gaz and Gretchen? XD
Skitterklat: Ohh, how about TAK?
Skitterklat: Can we work Tenn in there too?
RandomLurkerJ: Well, yeah. For the joke that he just starts noticing how many green skinned folks there are around.
Skitterklat: Maybe Tak can be the hot female police officer.
Skitterklat: YES! Hahaha!
RandomLurkerJ: "Now that I'm paying attention... when did all these green people show up?"
Skitterklat: I can actually hear Dib saying that.
Skitterklat: So, um. XD What should the actual plot be?
Skitterklat: Should Zim really be an innocent little kid? Or should he be some kind of demon child off to take over the world and help the Germans with their horrible experiments?
Skitterklat: Maybe Sizz-Lorr could have kidnapped him.
RandomLurkerJ: Zim planted himself with Miss Bitters to (HAHAHAHHAA) weasel his way into her inheritance so that when she dies, he collects all her money.
RandomLurkerJ: but she turned out to be horrible, so he's trying to escape.
Skitterklat: ..AHAHAHAHAA
Skitterklat: We're so bad. Such bad people are we.
RandomLurkerJ: We are. And Zim's still trying to take over the world. XD
Skitterklat: omg yes. XD
Skitterklat: Let's see how many characters we can cast...
Skitterklat: WE have Dib, the detective...
Skitterklat: Gaz, the landlady.
Skitterklat: Bitters, the client.
Skitterklat: Gretchen, the singer..
RandomLurkerJ: I agree that Tak should be the cold female detective.
Skitterklat: How about Purple and Red?
RandomLurkerJ: Skoodge, the stool pigeon.
RandomLurkerJ: Purple and Red could be.. hmmm.
Skitterklat: I'm thinking of Membrane as Dib's multimillionare dad who mad all his money off of tenant housing for the poor.
RandomLurkerJ: HAHAHAHHA yes
Skitterklat: "Get into REAL REAL ESTATE, son!"
RandomLurkerJ: Well, what's the opposite of detective as a career?
Skitterklat: Crime lord.
Skitterklat: Maybe.
RandomLurkerJ: OH GOD YES
RandomLurkerJ: MEMBRANE THE GODFATHER
Skitterklat: ...HAHAHAHAHAHHH
Skitterklat: He made his money off the poor... and off of DRUGS!!!
RandomLurkerJ: FAMILY business. *snerk*
RandomLurkerJ: oh! oh!
RandomLurkerJ: Then.
RandomLurkerJ: Red and Purple should be Membrane's top Family officers (hey, it's AU)
Skitterklat: So... Red and Purple?
RandomLurkerJ: Maybe they also have an agenda to infiltrate the Family, but Zim knows their plans so they want to get rid of him!~
Skitterklat: Oh, sorry! XD
Skitterklat: Or should they be rival crime lords?
Skitterklat: Zim could go to them
RandomLurkerJ: oooh, better!
Skitterklat: Maybe they could also be... HIS PARENTS!!
RandomLurkerJ: *dead*
RandomLurkerJ: Purple in a dress.
Skitterklat: OMG YES.
RandomLurkerJ: Red with a pipe and THE HAT
Skitterklat: The Invaders could all be bodyguards, maybe.
Skitterklat: Or minor crime bosses.
RandomLurkerJ: Well, see, in a family you have a heirarchy.
Skitterklat: Skoodge could have... I dunno, gotten scared and made his way out and become a stool pigeon?
Skitterklat: Aaa?
RandomLurkerJ: the crimelords, and then their subordinates/captains/officers.
RandomLurkerJ: So, it wouldn't be that different to convert the Irken structure to a Mafia structure.
THREE-WAY CHAT!! ZOMG!
RandomLurkerJ: We need... THE ANNOYING REPORTER. WHICH IS KEEF ZOMG
Skitterklat: OMG YES YES YES.
RedCrow108: Iggins
RandomLurkerJ: hmmmm
Skitterklat: The guy who comes on randomly to Gaz whenever he gets the chance, maybe?
RedCrow108: would be a pain-in-the ass movie star
RedCrow108: a starlet.
Skitterklat: ahahah! x3
RedCrow108: or a gigolo.
RedCrow108: stalking GRETCHEN.
RandomLurkerJ: YES
Skitterklat: "Sorry, Dib, but... you're going nowhere. The Empire could take me places."
RandomLurkerJ: Mm... I think we've got everyone for the cliche now though XD
RandomLurkerJ: HAHAHA
Skitterklat: "You've got a great dream kid, but... dreams won't make me any money, get it?"
Skitterklat: "So.. sorry about this, but I gotta take care of you."
RandomLurkerJ: oh lord XD
Skitterklat: "Red and Purple's orders, you know, to prove I'm loyal and all, and once I ice you...! Well, it's on to the big time then!"
RedCrow108: is dwicky that nice counsellor?
Skitterklat: "It was fun while it lasted, but all good things must come to an end..."
RandomLurkerJ: Nice? HAH!
Skitterklat: YEah.
RedCrow108: he could be the police cheif.
RandomLurkerJ: NONO.
RandomLurkerJ: BILL is the police chief
RedCrow108: okay, an older cop
RedCrow108: a father figure
RedCrow108: a trusted ally.
RedCrow108: who then skivves off at the crisis point
RedCrow108: leaving dib to angst for twenty pages
Skitterklat: BILL! oh my gosh great!
Skitterklat: YEah. XD
RedCrow108: who's bill?
RandomLurkerJ: "Listen mister, I don't BELIEVE in your CONSPIRACIES and your DETECTIVE work! I only believe in the LAW! You haven't helped me break the Cocofang case!"
RandomLurkerJ: "THERE IS NO COUNT COCOFANG! I TOLD you!"
Skitterklat: HAHAHAHA
Skitterklat: YES ZOMG
Skitterklat: Bill is the carreer day guy.
RandomLurkerJ: and yes, definitely go with the 'mentor' figure for Dwicky that goes bad at the wrong moment
Skitterklat: The paranormalist who doesn't believe in aliens or bigfeet or dinosaurs or anything but is obsessed with Cocofang?
Skitterklat: omg, CHICKENFOOT?
RedCrow108: oooooooooh that biill
Skitterklat: An unreliable witness?
RandomLurkerJ: Sure!
RedCrow108: yes
Skitterklat: Yay!
Skitterklat: Oh, I have an idea.
RedCrow108: and Lyx has turned JTHM into wizard of oz
Skitterklat: The little newsboys that hawked newspapers to people back in, like, the 40s?
Skitterklat: Service drone Bob.
RandomLurkerJ: oh yeah?
RedCrow108: yeah?
RandomLurkerJ: HAHAHHA
Skitterklat: The same guy every time.
RedCrow108: awww.
RedCrow108: poor bob.
Skitterklat: It's ALWAYS service drone Bob.
Skitterklat: Yes!
Skitterklat: No matter WHERE the streetcorner is.
RedCrow108: he could be all the janitors too.
Skitterklat: Service drone Bob is there selling newspapers.
Skitterklat: Yes!
RedCrow108: and no one would thiink it suspicious untill TOO LATE
Skitterklat: 'S RIGHT.
RandomLurkerJ: of course he's in the employ of the Irken Family
Skitterklat: Janitors will take over the woooorld!
Skitterklat: Yes!
Skitterklat: XD
Skitterklat: oh oh oh oh oh.
Skitterklat: "Fuck. This is really, really bad. I don't think I've ever been in such a tight situation since that thing with the German war machine and the city cesspool.
RandomLurkerJ: ZOMG NAZIS. O.O
RandomLurkerJ: At the risk of Godwinning, mayve all the Irken characters should be nazis. o.o
Skitterklat: I know allllll about Red and Purple- you gotta know all about the big crime lords in the city when your daddy's the biggest. Purple's some kinda two bit floozy, flouncing around in a slinky dress and stiletto heels- Red's the real
Skitterklat: muscle. He's about seven feet tall, skinny, but with an ugly grin and a mean streek to make up for the lack of muscles.
RandomLurkerJ: hahahahaha
Skitterklat: I'm getting a real close look at that ugly grin right now since he's right up in my face, looking me over. Ugly guy, got that same greenish tint that everybody seems to have nowadays. I yank my arms around where they're tied
Skitterklat: behind my back- my shoulders hurt like a bitch.
RedCrow108: purple should be a TOTAL skank.
RedCrow108: in a dangerous hellbitch way
Skitterklat: "So this is Dib, huh?" he snickers.
Skitterklat: "You're daddy's lookin' all over the place for you, know that? And since we're real close friends with your daddy- compadres, you know, business parters- we're gonna return you to him. Most of
Skitterklat: You, at least. In pieces, maybe."
Skitterklat: He pulls out some brass knuckles from a pocket and slides them on. Shit, shit shit shit. There's no way that Zim brat is worth this.
EDIT after chatting with Miz:
Modern Wiccan: REAL SCIENCE!
Skitterklat: REAL CRIME!! omg!
Modern Wiccan: Oh yes, your detective story!
Skitterklat: I have another character. XD
Skitterklat: Dib's underworld contact: Mortos der Soulstealer.
Modern Wiccan: OH YES!
Skitterklat: He can run a brothel or something. xD
Modern Wiccan: And Sizzlor needs to own the grody diner where Dib meets witnesses and goes after a hard day's work.
Skitterklat: Oh my gosh, YES. xD
Modern Wiccan: yeah...and Mortos has a MILF. That woman he met at the Carnival.
Skitterklat: MILF?
Skitterklat: XD
Modern Wiccan: Mom I'd Like to Fuck. :P
Modern Wiccan: Y'know - his top HO...the 'matron' of the brothel :P
Skitterklat: AHAHAHAHA yes.
Skitterklat: x3
Skitterklat: And for whores, we can have Zita, Jessica, etc. etc...
Skitterklat: But his heart belongs to Gretchen, of course.
Skitterklat: Or Tak. Or something.
Modern Wiccan: Tak.
Modern Wiccan: Or wait - Dib?
Modern Wiccan: or Mortos.
Modern Wiccan: No, Mortos has Debbie or whoever. His MILF. Dib x Tak = OTP. ;P
Skitterklat: Hee hee hee. x3
Skitterklat: Dib.
Skitterklat: Maybe Gretchen will end up being the "kid-sister-who-needs-protecting" figure.
Modern Wiccan: YES!
Skitterklat: Maybe she can hook up with... uh...
