Gaston was disappointed. It wasn't that there was anything wrong with the shop itself, but... Well, he was a bit disappointed with his latest purchase. He had spotted it through the window of the Glass Bonsai and just had to buy it. The problem was, it wasn't what he had hoped for. To be fair, it looked almost identical to the magic mirror he had lost when he had first come to Paixao, but this one didn't seem to be able to show anyone anything. That was irritating, since Gaston had been hoping that he'd finally managed to recover the thing. Also annoying was the fact that he made himself look like an idiot in front of the shopkeeper by ordering the mirror to show him other people he knew in the city to no avail ( ... )

Zim jumped as he was addressed, jarred from his continued plotting. Looking over to find the source of the interruption, he found a rather large, burly human. What was this worm thinking, addressing the great Zim as though they had met before ( ... )

Gaston stared for a moment, although the outburst really didn't surprise him all that much. He already knew Zim was an odd one. He was pretty sure that the boy (if he actually was a boy - Gaston had seen enough odd things by this point to start to doubt that Zim was actually human, let alone a child) was mentally damaged and wouldn't make complete sense no matter how hard he was pressed.

"What, did you actually get a date with a girl?" the hunter inquired, since that seemed to be the best explanation for "victorious" chocolates and flowers. Had he actually found someone brain-damaged enough to go out with him?

He supposed it was entirely possible that Zim had some other, unknown reason for wanting flowers and chocolates... Either way, he was looking in the wrong place if he was hoping to be successful. "You know you won't find any in there," Gaston pointed out. "It's a pawn shop. They sell used merchandise, and you can only buy candy and flowers new..."

"Date? Is this one of those 'loooooove' things? ZIM NEEDS NO LOVE, ONLY POWER!" he responded. Of course, there were these shows on the television speaking of the "power of loooooove" and all that, but Zim was fairly certain that was a load of bunk, nothing more than stupid human propaganda that further made the humans into a mushy goo. And not the good kind of goo that comes from a human being destroyed, either. It was the icky, foul-smelling goo of human weakness and smell. The smell of loooooove.

There weren't any candy and flowers here? Curses! He would have to find another... Wait, "pawn shop?" "Pawn shop?" As in a place that sold pawns? This might prove some use in the end after all. But first he would have to extract some more information from the human in front of him. "A pawn shop you say? This is a shop that sells minions?"

"Mmhmm... Power..." Sadly, Gaston was barely surprised by the Zim creature's outburst about his personal desires. He had been half-expecting something along those lines. With all his talk of power and minions, Zim obviously thought he was a person of great importance. The hunter thought it was fairly obvious that he would never be anything more than a loudmouth nobody, or at the most someone's irritating sidekick. There were some people who could achieve greatness, and then there were those destined for obscurity. Zim was one of the latter, no matter what he chose to believe ( ... )

No minions? None at all? Zim was tempted to accuse the large human of lying, but that would take too much time. Time Zim didn't have. As much as he hated to admit it, he was simply going to have to take the word of this human when it came to whether the shop of pawns really was for pawns. But still... What in the world was a "knickknack?" It sounded painful. Maybe it'd come in handy. Yes, Zim would have to remember this shop. He'd get all the "knickknacks" that he could and use them against the humans. The pain they would feel would be endless in its... endlessness ( ... )

"Well, for chocolates, I'd try Matinal's, over in the Joutenheim section of the city," Gaston replied, mulling over the possible locations of the items Zim was looking for. "There's also Aunte Unde's, a bit to the south of here. I'm not sure exactly what they sell, but you might find your candy there."

The hunter thought for a moment, then frowned. "I don't think you're going to be able to find flowers, though. You may have noticed, but there don't seem to be any real plants anywhere in the entire city. They're all fakes. As far as I know, there's no stores that sell them either." He shrugged expressively, since finding a flower shop had really been the least of his concerns. "You can still look if you want, though."

Oh, yes, Zim's powers of manipulation were incredible. No one could deny that Zim's incredible powers of manipulation were incredible. NO ONE! The human had fallen right into Zim's trap... his information trap. And it seemed that the human also knew quite a bit about this city. He might be useful for future outings ( ... )

(OOC: Sorry for taking so long on this one... I fail...)

Gaston stared at Zim as the diminutive alien giggled and muttered to himself. The hunter was already beginning to tire of talking to the strange little being. It seemed he had some kind of chaos on his mind, which somehow didn't surprise Gaston at all.

"Well... have fun with that," he remarked, deciding to make an effort to extract himself from further entanglement with Zim. There were almost certainly more intelligent conversations to be had elsewhere (which in itself was saying something, since Gaston usually wasn't especially concerned with the intelligence involved in his conversations). "See you later..."

With that said, Gaston turned and headed off, hoping Zim wouldn't try to follow him.

((Hrk... I think I failed a little worse on this... er... a lot worse. o.o))

Zim simply moved his hand in a shooing motion as the human walked off. He was of no consequence to Zim's almighty plan of greatness! This puny shop was going down! It was going to be destroyed in a brilliant explosion of shininess and lasers and DOOM. Absolutely brilliant!

In an evil laugh that could likely be heard for a few blocks erupted from the little alien's mouth, and it was silenced a few minutes later with a loud gasp. What if that was what the humans here were waiting for him to do? What if that large human was nothing more than a plant to try and get him to reveal his secrets?! THIS WHOLE THING COULD BE NOTHING MORE THAN A TRICK!

Oh no, Zim was on to them. He wouldn't be fooled that easily. With a dark scowl, the Irken dashed off. "YOU WILL NOT FOOL ME! I AM ZIM!" he shouted, continuing on his way. This wouldn't happen again! Zim would find himself a base first. Then, he would continue with operations. Perhaps a few robot bees ( ... )
