Zim is made of win. <3

It was late, but Harley had been feeling unusually restless. So, it'd been off to the plaza, to practice her gymnastics.

Front-flips, back-flips, handstands, tumbles, rolls... You name it, she tried it. Currently she was walking on her hands, balancing on one, then pushing up and flipping to land on her feet.

Only to stumble and fall back because something had caught her eye...

Zim was currently scrubbing the outside of one of the apartment buildings with a long-handled mop. He was so absorbed in his work that he didn't even notice Harley coming up behind her. Entirely focused on his mission to clean all of Econtra and rid it of germs, he scrubbed just as hard as he could.

Every so often he'd pause in his scrubbing, but only to spray the wall with disinfectant and wipe it down with a cloth. Minimoose hovered next to him, wiping a small area with a cloth of its own.

[Harley is more win! XD I loff Harley so much.]

[to_her_yang]

Walking around the park had calmed her well enough; it was currently impossible to go out of this place, and if among the best fighters couldn't escape, how could she?
She shrugged these thoughts off when she saw a strange...person?animal? running around.

((ooc: haha Zim, how we love thee xDD))

The bridge was probably crawling with germs! Zim and Minimoose were too busy scrubbing to notice Rei. Or rather, Zim was too busy. Minimoose paused, and waved a little moose leg in her direction.

"Minimoose!" Zim snapped. "Get back to work! We have so much to do! SO MUCH!"

[to_her_yang]

That person...yes, person she thought, seemed very busy; however she couldn't help but be amused by the frantic srubbing and the stuffed animal that...seemed to move on its own accord?
She hesitantly took a few steps forward, trying not to chuckle.

[ttlynotanalien]

Zim turned at the noise, eyeing Rei suspiciously. "What do you want? Can't you see I'm busy?" he snapped. "MINIMOOSE! GET BACK TO WORK!"

The moose was busy trying to find a good place to give Rei a hug.

Brainy had been flying about after his chat with Harley, getting some fresh air, spending some time thinking. But really? What he needed? He needed those reckless shenanigans that occurred when ever Bouncing Boy brought home another viddrive or Clark decided to let loose a relic from the past. Really..

He was floating, face up, looking up towards the stars, knowing that one upon a time, it would be a weekly jaunt up into the cosmos to protect the galaxy. It bothered him to be so limited.

He returned to a vertical position and looked down over Econtra, just in time to see a short green child run across the street with sponges. Brainy watched for a few moments before working the nerve to float down to the small one.

"Are you alright?" He asked.

[ttlynotanalien]

Minimoose waved at Brainy, and Zim waved Brainy away. "I'm busy!" he snapped. "Can't you see I'm trying to clean? There are GERMS all over the place! GERMS!" Germs were exceedingly dangerous, after all. Ignoring Brainy now, he rushed to the nearest building and began scrubbing, spraying disinfectant all over the place.

[brainiac5ive]

"Of course there are 'germs.'" Brainiac remarked, crossing his arms as he regarded the little alien with mild irritation. "Microscopic bacteria, of which there is a notable low level of in this complex. By that, of course, I mean the population is lower then it should be. I would definitely recommend ceasing your action, as eradication of all bacteria would be detrimental to the ecosystem."

[ttlynotanalien]

Zim did pause in his scrubbing, actually. "There are... less than there should be?" he pondered aloud. Of course, being Zim, he didn't come to the same conclusions that Brainy or any sensible person might have. "YES! They are frightened of ZIM! Run! Run away, stupid, filthy GERMS! I will FIND YOU!"

Larka was content. She had just gone into the humans' town to scavenge some food (for considering it scavenged was more fulfilling than considering it provided by the humans themselves - she still had her pride as a Putnar, after all), and with her stomach full, she was rather sleepy. So, she was wandering back to the Park, back to where she usually slept.

Except that she happened to pass by the Irken, who was doing something rather odd. She wasn't sure what to make of it - heck, she was rarely able to understand him all that much anyway, but this was more confusing than usual - so out of curiosity, she padded over to him and asked, "What are you doing?"

[ttlynotanalien]

"What does it look like?" Zim snapped. "I'm cleaning!" Cleaning the grass probably wasn't the best idea in the world, but it was, after Zim who was doing it. "There are germs everywhere! I must CLEAN!"

Minimoose, on the other hand, hovered over to Larka, waved at her, and went to give her a hug around one of her ears. It waved a sponge at her after, and then started patting her ears with the sponge.

[twentysnowflake]

Larka smiled, or at least gave the Varg equivalent of such, when Minimoose came and hugged her ear. The little flying moose was rather cute, she thought. Though, she wasn't quite sure what to make of its sponge - a little wet thing being dabbed on her wasn't something she was accustomed to.

Tilting her head at Zim, however, Larka asked, "Germs? What are those?"

For Larka, being a Varg, did not know about all of the modern science-y stuff that humans and humanoid Lera know of.

[ttlynotanalien]

"Germs! Tiny, invisible germs!" Zim shouted. "Oh, there are so many of them! Evil, horrible germs! They'll kill you!"

Minimoose squeaked its agreement and went back to helping Zim try and wash everything.

Even if it was late, Fai had felt the need to get out of his apartment for awhile and stretch his legs. It was nice out also. It was nice to walk for the sake of just walking and think things through. So much had happen over such little time.

Of course, no matter how much he wanted to sort things out, Fai couldn't help but be intrigued by a little green boy doing what he supposed was cleaning. Cleaning what and why he wasn't quite sure of though. "What are you doing?" He asked, approaching the other.

[ttlynotanalien]

"So much work to," Zim muttered. Really. What was up with all these people bugging him, when he was clearly very busy? "I'm cleaning! This place is full of germs! Filthy, disgusting... nnrgh! GERMS!"

[phoenixsnow]

"I don't think you'll be able to get them all." Fai said thoughtfully, watching him clean. "They won't hurt you, you know. Some germs are good for you."

[ttlynotanalien]

"I will! I must!" Zim said. "Help me! Help ME!"

What was this? Zim, asking for help? Those germs must have had him exceedingly worried.
