Rain.

Quite possibly the worst weather phenomena Zim had ever encountered. Also? The one thing he had been looking forward to avoiding the second he realized this wasn't Earth but some other planet. He had been so happy-- but no. Wasn't going to happen. The horrible acid feel from the sky, unheeding of Zim's yells for it to stop. Didn't this filthy Paixao world recognize him as its future master?! Apparently not

Yaten paused, looking at Zim. He got a flicker... of something. Even without reading Zim's body language, Yaten could tell something was hurting. ...Which was good, because Yaten wasn't really watching. He blinked, lurching forward.

"Hey, you." He blinked a bit, willing his eyes to stop watering. It was Zim! Oh, right. "What the... shit?" Yaten blinked at the steam, frowning at the shorter alien. "Are you okay? My empathy's picking up on pain of all things." Squint.

This made little to no sense.

Yaten reached out to poke the smaller alien.

Zim shrieked.

"AWAY!! STAND AWAY! I'M NORMAL!!!!" he yelled, on his feet again in a blink. He flailed slightly, seeming unsteady and otherwise disoriented, the slight windmill arm effect doing absolutely nothing to lessen the OH GOD BURNING AND PAIN he was feeling. Really. Ow.

He stopped flailing long enough to give Yaten a long stare and say in a much more calm voice, "Oh, it's you," before running like hell to the nearest overhang, screaming like a banshee.

[kamereon_toiki]

Yaten blinked. What the hell? He squinted at Zim, wiping at his face. "What the hell, Zim," Yaten asked, looking around.

Well, shit. Here he was, sitting down, and he couldn't get up. ...Fuck. He tried, and-- OW OW OW.

Yaten let out a yelp as he half-stood, letting out a yelp of pain as the still-sore sprain made itself known. Painfully. He hissed, glaring around. "That hurt," he hissed under his breath, glaring. Ow.

Zim clung to the sides of the building he had sought shelter under, clearly reluctant to venture out into the rain again. Stupid rain! He growled at it, shaking his fist. If only it would stop plaguing him like he knew it was...

He called back to her, yelling as loudly as he could even though they weren't more than ten feet apart. "SO, YOUR PATHETIC EARTH BODY HAS FAILED YOU, EH? EH? EH? EH? EH? PAAAAAAAAAAATHETIC. AHAHAHAHA ARGH MY TALLEST IT BURNS." A drop of water had condensed and fallen right on his forehead between his eyes, burning a sizzling train down his green skin. "AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

[kamereon_toiki]

"At least water doesn't burn me, fuckwit. I'm not an Earthling, in any case. Don't call me something so low," Yaten growled, dragging himself forward. He used his bench to get to his feet. He yelped as thunder rumbled. Thunder meant lightning meant HOBBLING UNDER THE BUILDING WITH ZIM AT A FAST PACE. He leaned against it pressing his back to it, and flopped to the ground.

"Stupid ankle," Yaten growled. "Stupid storms." He sighed, thudding the back of his head on the wall. "Stupid... Paixao. Gods, I just want to find Kakyuu-Ouhi."

[impendingdoomii]

Zim's antennae twitch under his hair before he could stop them. "'Fuck-wit?'" he asked bewilderedly, over-enunciating each syllable. "How does one FUCK someones WITS? And what is this 'Kakyuu-Ouhi?'" Oddly enough, he had no trouble pronouncing that name, just with the other one. Strange.

He let out a small whimper at the thunder. He had to find somewhere to make a base... but wheeeeeeere would that somewhere be?! He had to use his INGENIUS BRAINS to think of something... hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

As for the comment about Yaten not being an Earthling? As far as Zim was concerned, he was. He couldn't remember the other planet's name anyway, and besides which the white-haired currently man-shaped thing seemed to be the only one of his kind left, so therefore? Earthenoid. Simple.

[kamereon_toiki]

"Fuckwit is an insult," Yaten said. "Fuck is considered a vulgar word, so, therefore, calling someone a fuckwit is a more vulgar way of calling them an idiot. Kakyuu-Ouhi is my PRINCESS, my EVERYTHING, EVERYTHING bright and beautiful about Kinmokusei. Without her and the Kibou no Hikari? Kinmokusei is in... deep shit." He sighed, putting a hand to his forehead.

"I was one of three fated soldiers, destined to protect her because of my soul's nature. I failed. Now I'm searching... and I can't find her."

[impendingdoomii]

Zim's expression could best be described as "abuh?" His mind ignored the insult for now, still trying to make sense of this other alien's plight. Unfortunately? He didn't get it. At all. He just stared at Yaten for a moment, sticking his tongue out of his mouth for a moment absently as his mind seemed to visibly shut down behind his pinkish eyes.

He shook himself after a moment, seeming to give up trying to understand and just sticking to what he knew, which was to say, invading. He wasn't very good at it, but hey, he could try. "So, this... Kibou no Hikari... is it powerful?"

[kamereon_toiki]

"Yeah, it is. In English, it's called the Light of Hope. Nobody knows what it is, exactly, but it could pretty much save the galaxy I'm from..." Yaten closed his eyes. "But I'm more concerned with finding Kakyuu-Ouhi, not some rumor across the galaxy..."

It was lame, really. He had this shiny power... and he couldn't do anything with it.
