THEYRE HERE..... MY WONDERFUL HYBRID BABY WHOM I FUCKING MURDERED IN AN AU..... @invadedzim here u go :)
some sweet cool fun Pip Facts under the cut.... and also a bonus drawing
their antenna pulling, to an outsider, doesnt seem that bad. but self harm wise its pretty Up There in severity for irkens, considering you run the risk of snapping the damn thing in two or pulling it out
they were the only one of 50 gestations to survive. lucky tube number 15!!!
the way they got sick was that their puberty sent a rush of hormones through their human system, which alarmed their irken system which identified it as a threat and attacked the human system, which in turn attacked the irken system right back, and so on and so forth for 3 years until their organs shut down
puberty blockers would have stopped this. puberty blockers + slowly letting the irken system build an immunity against the human one.... kind of like. a vaccination? and also that thing people r doing now to get rid of allergies, trace amounts at a time
dib knew this. zim did not know puberty blockers existed.
ABOUT THE EXPERIMENT. there were going to be 4 groups of subjects- dib anticipated this happening, actually. one group was the control group, they got no help. the other would get as much help as dib could provide. the third wouldve been intentionally made sicker, and the fourth, much smaller group, would have been dissected at various staged of development
pip was always meant to be part of the control group.
dib originally meant to NEVER tell zim, but after the only OTHER surviving gestation died shortly after birth (rip tube 14....) he thought “yeah lets get some help”
zim snatched pip out of dib’s hands and rushed them to the lab, bc they though they were dying of Where Is The Mother Fucking PAK Disorder
but pip was fine. but zim kept em anyway
it was zim that named them of course
in the early stages, pip actually did get ports installed in their back for a PAK, but it didnt have any weapons in it, it was STRICTLY life support and medical stuff ONLY.
as pip’s illness worsened, and it was clear they were terminal, they begged for a mercy kill, so they didnt have to suffer before it got too bad.
zim, obviously, did not grant this
for the last year of their illness, pip could only manage to stay awake for about an hour a day.
when it happened, pip used that hour to freak out, saying they didn’t wanna die, and they could feel it coming, and to please not let them die.... they tried to stay awake as long as they could after that... but they had to fall asleep eventually
and they never woke up.
zim keeps pip’s body in a vat in the lab, hoping that if he can posthumously cure pip’s illness, he can re-activate them.... somehow....
irkens don’t die of illness.... it could happen....
to cleanse your soul........ smeeby time
(and fun facts! anyone remember that one post i made about like, a hybrid baby and how zim would love it but dib would treat it as a novelty? yeah. IT WAS ABOUT PIP THE WHOLE TIME!!!)
#invader zim#invader zim oc#zadr#kind of?#death /#live from conventia#pip#i hope you all like my wonderful child :)

EPISODE SEVEN
“I AM THRIVING. ABSOLUTELY THRIVING.” - joey
HOH: Nathan
UPSIDE DOWN: Emma
NOMINEES: Jev & Kiki
POV: Joshua
FINAL NOMINEES: Josh C & Kiki
EVICTED: Josh C (6-0)
ARIA
So,,,i highkey fucked up but all good things come to an end, I couldn't play the middle forever but the way it ended was just a little earlier than i expected. Also i handled the backlash of the dpov HORRIBLY! I did so many things wrong this week its insane even though i was on all day calling people i still fucked up,,,but its fine nothing i can really do to change that. But from here i want to fix things and do better, which does start with addressing where I fucked up so lets start with that woot woot (also holy shit that double was so draining this is the first time ive felt legitimately tired in a while and its only 1 am)
1. COMP FLOPS
-literally all my allies flopped on the comps when we REALLY needed to win and its even worse combined with the information I was told where people told me they were throwing just to do well instead- its clear they weren't being honest with me and I settled into their lies without an ounce of hesitation
2. LACK OF KNOWLEDGE
I just really settled certain things poorly leading up to this night, i think somewhere i majorly fucked up is with emma, if i was able to get her to vote out nick or get jacob to dpov someone she would vote out i would be in a much better position atm but i didn't and therefore ive exposed myself. And if i was able to receive knowledge of her rose gold dpov before hand i couldve worked out a new plan that way
3. DAMAGE CONTROL
This is where i **truly** fucked up and its gonna show in my jury management too, like theres NO way i could ever get nicks vote at this point in time. Also my gut instinct after the vote was to lie about the way i voted to kiki/joshua/nick/jev when i shouldve came clean and used a bullshit excuse about how i heard nick was after me or something. It's gonna damage my relationships with all of them
SO wabam here i am slightly fucked due to me being a mess but its okay!! I'm still in the game and while im not in as good as a position as I was last time im still certain i can get back into everyones good graces!! And i mean this vote did reveal that a lot of people consider me to be in a duo with them??? which um is kinda weird HBFSHDF Like joey and emma were both calling us duo of the season and i was like....k cute cool totally called that and knew we were a duo yup yup- FBHJDSBF LMAO but i mean in terms of my own position you have the two trios (jacob/bri/nathan and jev/kiki/joshua) who are going to go after each other with Josh C and Emma leaning toward jev/kiki/joshua while me and joey lean towards jacob/bri/nathan. Its crazy that its literally f10 and its five versus five with hardly any true middle player (for now wink wonk)
But now that nick is out I need to think about whats next and whats my next big move. I think rn im involved with a lot of moves but im not the face of them (bri using pov on nathan, jacob dpoving bri) and such but if i want to win I have to make a move of my own and DEF need to work on jury management bc again nick is gonna hate my guts after reading my gbm,,,as yousef would say "oopsie whoopsie" so I think from here I need to get back in jev/kiki/joshua's good graces SOME how and im really tempted to come clean about my vote bc i think thats going to hurt me in the long run and theres literally already an alliance of all five of that side so like....whats the point of sewing mistrust but also, i do kinda want to try just being a dirty crime snake this game and seeing how much control I truly have on this game. Literally EVERYONE except those three knows my true vote and i've told them all to keep it to themselves so we'll see what happens,,,, im kinda tempted to pin the vote on emma just for funsies and tell them that "jacob told me hes close to emma" or some bs like that but also,,,thats kinda mean yknow? Its also a testament to test how much that trio trusts me which im GUESSING is less than emma but who knows maybe ill get lucky :DD
Anyways in terms of moving on I really need someone who actually likes me to join jury so its not completely set against me the whole time but also im not sure how thats gonna go down ugh. I mean in terms of end game my options are starting to become limited because nathan/bri/jacob would all BODY me at the end bc at this point they've been the face of big moves and I hope my big move can be turning on one of them and getting them out at some point so when i really start to look at a realistic f2 I can win,,, im kinda leaning toward my new duos of emma or joey which is kinda a shocker to me too lemme tell u HFBSDF but joey's perception of the game seems,,,,messy and I think i can beat him while emma is def doing better but she hasnt snapped yet so i think i can maybe beat her. And then jev/joshua/kiki depends im not sure yet but the thing with them is none of them are gonna want to bring me to the end which is super frustrating (i mean i did just snake em so,,,maybe its deserved)
The thing is that I like being honest about my vote so trying to have an honest game convo with any of those three is gonna be really hard,,,,esp considering they were all my targets for live night but here we are :') And i really dont know what to do at this point which is really annoyinggg (annoying @ myself theyre all lovely) I think im gonna have to wait a bit before i can try getting them all to fully trust me rn i dont know this has been such a mess but im doing my best!! Before i end this probably poorly aging paragraph its trust ranking time
1.myself (FUCK, and i cant stress this enough, EVERYONE)
HUGE GAP
2.Brianna (shes slowly becoming more stuck in jacob's trap but i do still think shes loyal to me, god IS a woman!!!)
3.Jacob (hate having this man so high bc hes bodying this game but he tells me a lot ig :/ )
ANOTHER GAP
4. Nathan (we need to call and discuss live night but he isnt going to like nominate me or anything)
5.Joey (apparently we're a f2?? not sure where that happened but also hes cagey idk)
-smol gap-
6.Josh C (told me his alliance!! shame he doesnt know im gonna rat him out to my side teehee)
7.Emma (we're also a duo?? almost forgot about that but i fucked her over here a bit but i can build the trust back up i THINK)
anothe gap
8.Jev (he talked to me after live night and didnt ask about my vote so thats cute....not sure where we stand...help)
9.Kiki (we talked briefly after the vote but idk if they realized im a snake yet)
10.Joshua (the silence is deafening)
Not happy w/ my position yet and im likely to just come clean to joshua in a call tmrow because hes honestly really sweet and his friendship means a lot to me but i need to figure out how I leave me connection with jacob/bri out of it.. ill think of something
praying im not the most hated here but if i am it wouldnt be the first time ig, and thats on pewiod <3
JOEY
LET’S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOO. I AM THRIVING. ABSOLUTELY THRIVING. Not a damn soul is coming after me, and more importantly, I have numbers on my side, and no one’s gonna be pissed off at me on BOTH sides of the house. People say Josh C is playing both sides? Nah, it’s me. I need him out because I’m trying to ride that middle man status. My ideal plan is to see Emma go home next week, so that way I ain’t responsible. I want to get rid of Jacob at Final 7, and I will damn sure make that happen. Aria and I have a Final 2 that I plan on sticking to. Seeing Nick go was sad, but good lord it was I-C-O-N-I-C.
EMMA
Everything in this game lately has honestly pissed me off first it was me getting blindsided during live night even though i didnt really want to vote nathan if i was being honest i wanted brianna out over nathan because i thought nathan would be more easier to work with them boom Dpov and boom nick going i am like a little unsure if i regret using the dpov or not i do regret it well because nathan won hoh and sent me to the upside down and nick probably wouldnt try super hard for hoh but then again it seemed my so called allies were probably more closer to nick but i am not even sure my so called low confidence is my weakness in my games but i dont know how to be more confident pretty sure everyone beats me in the end at this point unless if i win an hoh if i do at this point Jacob/Brianna/even nathan getting nominated i didnt want nathan out before like if i won hoh i would of put him to the upside straight up nominate brianna and jacob if one of them goes off the block joey gets put up as a pawn after the upside down week im gonna do whatever to make it to the end idc if i go to the end with somebody i cant beat i just want to make this game enjoyable for me as i can i dont want to float for awhile then bring a goat to the end NNN
EMMA
my shit list in order to who i target to who isnt on my rader
Jacob > Nathan > Brianna > Joshua = Aria > Jev > Kiki/Josh C > Joey
who i like most to who is most annoying to play on a game level (i dont really hate or dislike anyone on a personal level)
Aria > Jev > Joshua *tiny gap* Nathan > Kiki/Josh C >>>>>>>>>>> Jacob > >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Joey = brianna also joey would be higher but he lied to me for no reason even tho i didnt mind putting alot of trust in me and i love brianna on a personal level but girl i am not good socially with her which is my fault and her fault also jacob kinda assumed stuff about me like not big stuff like meta but he still told other people except me (people who are out who i love) Gina/Jakey > Saira=Nick=Monty=Mo *small gap* Nash >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> dog shit > Taylers dinner (dylan and the og homies know it) >>>>>>>>>>>> DEM
but yeah this game has made me happy because everyone is nice except dem but its been hard to play it because if i felt better i think i would of been playing a 100x times better game
JEV
So I'm safe but it comes at the cost of one of my two favourite people in this game. I've arguably grown closest to Josh C throughout this game, but I promised Joshua that if he saved me with veto I'd vote however he wanted and he wants Josh C to leave over Kiki. This week is me and Nash as final noms levels of ugly.

Virginia: Day 10
DAVENFORTH: -Does this university have a gym? It better. Well, Dave is in there. Not that you can see him, there's a heavy punching bag taking quite the abuse. There's flurries of hits, but their source can't be seen.-
HIGHBLOOD: =Watching this. He's here. He's maybe always been here. Crunches nacho slowly, loudly.=
DAVENFORTH: -When the fuck did you even get here-
DAVENFORTH: -Flashes in and kicks the bag, sending it flying into a wall. He lands, huffing, sweating.-
QIRIN: =she comes in eventually, sitting quietly on a bench with her hands open in her lap, watching Sonic the Hedgehog beat up a gremlin.=
HIGHBLOOD: =hands Qirin cheesy nacho chips= :o)
DAVENFORTH: -He hasn't noticed the audience yet, walking over and hoisting the bag up, placing it back on its rack.-
QIRIN: =....thanks. She nods and takes it, not wishing to be the one to disrupt the silence.=
HIGHBLOOD: =loudly crunches chip again=
DAVENFORTH: -Looks up. Oh. He gives a sup nod-
HIGHBLOOD: you tirin already brother, shit just got good =eats more chips and nods at him=
QIRIN: =waves gently. hi, she read the news.=
DAVENFORTH: Nah just didnt realize i had an audience
DAVENFORTH: -Rolls his shoulders and goes back to punching the bag, normally this time. He's putting a lot of effort behind these swings, the impacts very audible in the gym-
-----------
ERIDAN: -Somewhere in the first floor of the university science department, a fish troll has made his headquarters. The door of a lab is thrown open while music plays, if it could be called music. It was muffled and the signal was terribe with static. It was obviously a radio hotwired to pick up whatever far off-planet station that dared to air all the way to Earth. A small sign of life in the otherwise gloomy dark school hallways.-
ERIDAN: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=And-yo5jwko
ROXANNE: -Obviously if she was going to tour around anywhere to distract herself from the stress and danger it would be the science building. It would be like a blast from the past. When Roxanne had still been in school she spent all her time in her campus science department or observatory (good place to study, really quiet.) She walks aimlessly around the empty halls of the first floor peeking in through a window or two until the sound of shitty music gains her attention and she follows it until she is looking in through the open door to the lab.-
ROXANNE: Huh. -Looks like they were re-purposing rooms.-
ERIDAN: -Repurposing the rooms in a manner of speaking. The tables were lined with Eridan's "meager" collection of assault weapons. Everything ranging from harpoon guns to muskets, photon, and of course, the standard automatic was laid out on display.-
ERIDAN: -Eridan himself was half sprawled over the professor's desk, having fallen asleep over maps of the Washington battle grounds next to his honest-to-god duct taped radio hull. The source of the static music.- (zzzz)
ROXANNE: -What a hero, what a pro.-
ROXANNE: -Maybe she should just let him sleep, but tickle her curious at just why he was napping in a slightly redecorated lab while leaving dangerous weaponry about.- ROXANNE: Hm. -She knocks on the frame of the doorway to see if that will wake him up.-
ERIDAN: -SNORTS AWAKE, hunting knife almost instantly in his hand. Maybe he fell asleep with it? He lifts his head to peer blearily around, glasses askew.- zzzuhfuck -Spots Roxanne at the door, eyebrows furrowing until he's giving a mighty stretch at the desk.-
ERIDAN: oh dammit
ERIDAN: justa human -yawns toothily, using the pointy end of the knife to scratch at the base of his horns.- wwhats the commotion
ROXANNE: -Yep just a human 8) -
ROXANNE: -Briefly flinches when he wakes up with a knife of all things.- Jeez ya' expecting certain company with that tooth pick? ...horn pick?
ERIDAN: surprised you aint similar wwise givven your situation -The horn pick feels good actually.... he casually keeps sweeping the blunt end along the wwavvy shape of his horns. The amphibious insectoid that he is, totally half asleep.-
ERIDAN: mess hall aint this wway if youre lookin
ROXANNE: Man I'd be real dumb if I was lookin' for a bite to eat.
ROXANNE: Surprise Im here to steal the guns you left out on the table for absolutely basically anyone to come and get. -jabs a thumb at the arms display. Do you get her point.-
ERIDAN: -gives her this LOOK.- wwhat
ERIDAN: do you think im sendin these folks out there empty handed
ERIDAN: kinda presumptuous a you assumin im runnin that kinda operation here
ERIDAN: takin is wwhat theyre FOR
ROXANNE: Right right i get that, but no sign in sheet or nothin'?
ROXANNE: Dang its like you got no respect for 'em. -Steps all the way in and eyes the collection close up. Some of these are nice.-
ROXANNE: Also seems dangerous.
ERIDAN: yeah probably thats also in essence the point -rubbing his eyes under his glasses and then reaches under his desk. Time to pour himself a drink.-
ROXANNE: -Picks up the automatic and looks it over, is it in good condition?- ROXANNE: Then you run a risky armory.
ERIDAN: meh -Damn. He has no more cups. Just swings back this rock n rye flavored faygo with a grimace.-
ERIDAN: -All the rifles are in good condition. It's one of the few things Eridan gives a shit about enough to invest and maintain.-
ERIDAN: run your owwn armory if you wwanna criticize
ROXANNE: If I had plans ta' stick around i might. We could have a whole competition, best arms dealer wins.
ROXANNE: -Puts down the automatic and picks up the harpoon gun, inspecting it in quite the same manner and then aiming it at the opposite wall. Her finger isnt on the trigger of course, but shes never shot one before and wanted to try holding it.-
ERIDAN: run me outta business fine
ERIDAN: so long as the job gets done -The safety's on and it gleams sharply in the flourescent lighting. A deadly harpoon, especially in the right hands.-
ROXANNE: -Noice. Its got a good weight to it.- Those are the words of someone plannin' on losing.
ROXANNE: -Turns her head to flash him a small smile.- But like i said not stickin' around to do your job for you.
ERIDAN: yeah -What he's agreeing to, it's not apparent. He's just chugging more faygo, eyes drooping heavily.- mmmmh
ERIDAN: ought to pick one you like or somethin
ROXANNE: Hm?
ROXANNE: ....Are you just gonna' give me a gun? -How sleepy IS this guy.-
ERIDAN: -fingers are knotted into his hair as he gives himself a massage around the temples- ...fuckin
ERIDAN: yes i am
ERIDAN: it aint that goddamn complicated sometimes a request or a question is just simple
ERIDAN: not wwarrantin the necessity to react like youre batshit insane
ERIDAN: i already had to deal wwith one a you
ERIDAN: or else just drop it clearly attempts at generosity or concern at you humans just aint wworth it
ROXANNE: Sorry consider me a lil' hesitant around strangers lately.
ROXANNE: Thanks for the offer though, ill take ya' up on it. -Shes putting down the harpoon gun and taking one of the automatics. sure the spear was cool, but this would be a lot more useful later.-
ERIDAN: -reaching under his desk again. This time pulling out a twinkie, peeling apart the wrapper.- least you got your senses about you -mutters.-
ROXANNE: -Tucks that gun away safe and sound in her sylladex now before turning to watch eridan snack.-
ROXANNE: So... besides hand out guns an' chug shitty soda brands, what else do you get up to in here?
ERIDAN: i aint in here most instances
ERIDAN: im out and about runnin the operation a course
ERIDAN: the fuck else wwould i be
ERIDAN: besides sittin square wwith my thumb up my ass
ERIDAN: dealin wwith local patrols and organizin scouts for supplies and shit a that nature
ROXANNE: -She shrugs.- 'Dunno what else you would have been doing thats why I asked.
ROXANNE: -Did they get rid of any of the tech in this lab?-
ERIDAN: -grunts. Nah, they didn't. But they did disembowel the computers for various things. Mainly so they wouldn't be used.-
ROXANNE: -She doesnt care too much about them being gutted, she just wants to look at them. She takes a seat at one of the counter tops and fiddles with the ripped open technology.- Hah. Ya' know its kinda' nice to see that not too much has changed in the sense of the standard open to public campus computers.
ERIDAN: i wwouldnt fuckin knoww
ERIDAN: i aint gone to no humanclad univversity
ROXANNE: You sure missed out then.
ROXANNE: Human uni. is where it is at.
ERIDAN: -just. Stuffs this whole twinkie in his mouth. Chews balefully.- sounds like its a baised drawwn conclusion but alright
ROXANNE: Oh it absolutely is but its also the damn truth.
ROXANNE: You ever had a "Week of Welcome" wherever you studied?
ROXANNE: Its crazy let me tell you.
ERIDAN: -fixes her with a dubious frown.- a wweak of wwelcome sounds like the traditionalistic ritual of testin the constitution newwly ascended trolls
ERIDAN: vvia drowwnin their heads in load gapers and seein if they resuscitate afterwwards
ERIDAN: guess humans got more spine to them than i thought initially
ROXANNE: ......Wowie.
ROXANNE: Nah we didn't do any of that.
ROXANNE: It was basically a week of clubs an' academic society groups tryin' to out-do each other with fun or dumb activities.
ROXANNE: You could pet like seven dogs by the library.
ROXANNE: Or get free pizza or cup cakes for shaking a teachers hand.
ROXANNE: Although sometimes you got to pay $20 to smash a car with a sludge hammer but that was more often around finals.
ERIDAN: so
ERIDAN: youre sayin there aint some kind of mutilation or murder plots invvolvved
ERIDAN: not evven a little
ROXANNE: Not usually.
ERIDAN: evven the recreational shits got some bite to it
ERIDAN: ...huh -sips faygo thoughtfully.-
ROXANNE: Yep. School is a place for petting dogs, makin' the grades, and getting sloshed on a thursday night when you know you have a 8am lecture hall.
ERIDAN: suppose i relate on some level -hmphs, unimpressed.-
ERIDAN: but nothin too solid
ROXANNE: Thats okay. Lets agree to leave it as a cultural difference I guess
ERIDAN: fairs fair -sloshes down the rest of this lukewarm faygo. Disgusting.-
ERIDAN: im eridan
ROXANNE: -If its so gross dont drink it.-
ROXANNE: -She turns around on her stool.- Nice to meet ya'.
ROXANNE: Im Roxanne.
ERIDAN: uh sure -He DOUBTS it's nice to meet him but accepts this introduction anyhow.- dunno if i ought to point it out or nothin ERIDAN: but you aint lookin like the battlefield type so ERIDAN: noww im wonderin wwhat the shit youre doin taggin along the assassination brigade for
ERIDAN: it aint exactly the equivvalent to pizza and pettin puppies or wwhatevver the fuck
ROXANNE: Ya' aint wrong there.
ROXANNE: Its kind of a long story. But to summarize why I'm goin' along on this crazy shoot the duo president mission is to make sure the dad of my infant daughter doesnt get himself killed in the process.
ROXANNE: Plus I got no weekend plans.
ERIDAN: -He understands these words individually and is trying to piece them together into something comprehensible.- so outta obligation to your mate aka the sire a your offspring
ROXANNE: Mmmm, not technically either of those things.
ROXANNE: But close enough.
ROXANNE: Derek is my ex, and we adopted a lil' girl while we were still together.
ERIDAN: so it wwas a beforan style cullin ritual
ERIDAN: wwherein the twwo a you havve obligation ovver some helpless wward
ERIDAN: all the wwhile ditchin wwhat i presume wwas a romantic entanglement
ERIDAN: but its enough for you to pledge loyalty enough to head facefirst into the troll davvy jones locker of suicide missions for
ERIDAN: ...
ERIDAN: wwho the hell is this guy anywway
ROXANNE: Bingo.
ROXANNE: Derek Strider. You'd know him if you met him.
ROXANNE: About yay tall -Gestures the height.- kinda' full of himself.
ROXANNE: Triangle shades.
ERIDAN: oh
ERIDAN: him
ERIDAN: ....
ERIDAN: i dont see it
ROXANNE: -Snrks.- Dont see what? Him being a dad or the relationship?
ERIDAN: wwhy the shit hes wworth you dyin for
ERIDAN: you aint even invvolvved anymore
ERIDAN: the risks real possible just FYI
ERIDAN: but on top of losin a dad your grubs riskin losin its mom too aint it
ERIDAN: wway to fuckin go the both a you
ROXANNE: Yeah i know.
ROXANNE: But hey if we both die then i dont have to tell my baby that her daddy died. -Yes, just smile the real truth away.-
ROXANNE: Nah but... caring about someone can make ya' do crazy shit.
ROXANNE: We may not be together anymore but it doesnt change the fact that I still love him in other ways.
ERIDAN: crazy shit like a plea for attention if i evver fuckin saww it
ERIDAN: hey blowwhole look wwhat im puttin at risk for you
ERIDAN: -snorts- bet he dont appreciate it none
ROXANNE: -Snrks.- Even if it was a cry for attention,
ROXANNE: Which its not.
ROXANNE: He might appreciate it at least a little.
ROXANNE: Or at least feel damn well guilty when its all over, haha.
ERIDAN: not appreciativve enough to vvalue your grubs livvelihood it dont look like ERIDAN: smfh wwhat do i knoww
ERIDAN: just got a general sense a wwhat a guardians supposed to behavve to compare it to
ERIDAN: and i wwas reared by a goddamn skyhorse scrod rest his fuckin soul
ROXANNE: Ya' probably know just about as much about proper parenting as me, to be honest.
ROXANNE: Still workin' on that whole "Perfect suburban mom" deal.
ROXANNE: But he cares about her a lot. I think he just got his head dragged into this mission.
ROXANNE: Keep hoping he's gonna' snap out of it but maybe its his feelings from how hes about to have another baby with his wife that makes him feel like he needs to save the world.
ERIDAN: -grunts- i guess
ERIDAN: still a fuckin shame says i
ERIDAN: pitys gonna only go so far and in the ends its gotta be you and your owwn hide
ERIDAN: the shit youre invvested in or wwhatever
ERIDAN: wwardin the grub
ERIDAN: cant be a bad thing
ERIDAN: but youre wwastin your fuckin energy expectin anybody to change for you wwho aint done shit to try
ERIDAN: except ask you to be there and vvalidate you feelin needed or wwhat not
ERIDAN: makes the cycle addictivve -sighs out, staring off. Time to break out more faygos.-
ROXANNE: Well damn.
ROXANNE: This is some impromptu broken relationship advice or what.
ERIDAN: no -turns to her to deadpan.- its advvice on survvivin past tomorroww
ROXANNE: Oh i know im gonna'.
ERIDAN: the credits goin to you then
ERIDAN: or him rather
ERIDAN: hes the one in the front lines aint he
ERIDAN: suspect much -asks it like a question. Suspect much??-
ROXANNE: Yeah he is.
ROXANNE: But while derek has a big talk I also know he has the skills to back it up.
ROXANNE: And I'm mostly tagging along to provide immediate cover for the kill group.
ERIDAN: right... -Sure Jan. He believes you.-
ROXANNE: What ya' dont believe i can do it?
ERIDAN: wwhats it matter wwhat i think
ERIDAN: im the guy leavvin my wweaponry lyin strewwn about wwilly nilly
ROXANNE: ...... -Chuckles.-
ROXANNE: Fair point.
ERIDAN: -slorps a new faygo. This one a grape flavored one.-
ERIDAN: doesnt matter wwhat i say
ERIDAN: its you and your time and wwho youre puttin it towwards
ERIDAN: hope you get it back at the end of the day is all
ERIDAN: -says this because he's totally judging you, Rox.-
ROXANNE: -Seriously, How many sodas is this guy going to drink.-
ROXANNE: -She shrugs. He is free to judge away, the plan is stupid and risky and she knows that by going into it she might die. But if there was anything she could do to help minimize the chance of any more casualties on this suicide run it would be worth it.-
ROXANNE: Ya' know we've talked a lot about me, but what about you Eridan?
ROXANNE: I could be wrong but ya' dont seem like the type to be visiting earth to get a load of our, albeit currently dying, culture. Is it the soda brands that caught your attention?

Virginia: Day 3
TAKODA: -they're all fueled up again and he's back to driving, but he's found another place for them to stop while he tries to figure out the best route to minnesota. he's noticed that a lot of major highways are blocked off by the military, so... it's probably best to avoid those. even if the condesce wants to toy with them as she is, there's no way of predicting anyone else's behavior.-
DEREK: -meanwhile, he's hovering around his brother. takes a seat next to him wherever he's at.- Hey.
DAVENFORTH: -He's been sitting here, thinking too much. Help him. At least his brother is here.- Sup
DEREK: ... I dunno about you but Ive been thinkin a lot about the news.
DAVENFORTH: Nah i havent thought about it even once in fact id forgotten about it entirely
DEREK: Yeah ok.
DEREK: So whats your plan? I know youve got one.
PENNY: -slides closer from like two seats away- what news?
DAVENFORTH: What do you mean are you really asking me if im a bad enough dude to assassinate the presidents
DAVENFORTH: Because thats not even on the table look at every card and lo and behold it aint there conveniently missing like the last piece of the puzzle
DEREK: ...
DEREK: -looks at penny- Dual juggalo presidents.
PENNY: ... -snrk-
PENNY: yall just found out that happened?
DAVENFORTH: Yeah
DEREK: Cant say Ive had much opportunity to keep on top of all the bullshit goin down here.
PENNY: hoo boy well.
PENNY: welcome to the new United States of Whatever.
RILEY: -she was dead asleep, and suddenly, she wakes up. sleeping on a party bus is great. she stretches a little before noticing that penny is talking to Derek and davenforth, but it's hard to know if it's a step forward or backward. which is why she's conveniently pretending to not pay attention but in reality is intensely eavesdropping-
DAVENFORTH: This is my united states of whatever
PENNY: -she still hasn't quite figured out that Derek is her Boy. she's been avoiding looking at Riley a little too much.-
PENNY: and then up comes Zafo and Im like yo Zafo whats up hes like nothin and Im like thats cool.
PENNY: ok but really.
PENNY: the whole things a joke and everybody knows it.
PENNY: but not even a good one.
DAVENFORTH: Pretty dangerous joke
DAVENFORTH: Your new buddy back there finds their very existence offensive
PENNY: yeah well Im more scared of what were doing right now than the clowns sitting in the White House.
PENNY: literal clowns.
DAVENFORTH: Those clowns are a lot more dangerous than you think
RILEY: -why does jodie love the clowns so much-
PENNY: Im a lot more dangerous than they think.
PENNY: theyre just human anyway.
DAVENFORTH: Ill let you fight em then
DEREK: Yeah but. Humans appointed by the queen bee bitch herself no doubt. DEREK: Clearly theyre influencin the populous into a compliant lifestyle under her rule.
DAVENFORTH: Anyway i think we should make a pit stop on the way to minnesota
DAVENFORTH: Let condy were coming
PENNY: oh sure. PENNY: Id love to punch a juggalo in the dick.
DAVENFORTH: Well
DAVENFORTH: Thats good to hear
TAKODA: -glances back at them- UM... NOT TO EAVESDROP, BUT 1 TH1NK WE M1GHT HAVE TO PASS THROUGH D.C. ANYWAY... MOST OF THE H1GHWAYS ARE BLOCKED... ER. THERE ARE TOLLS, BUT, 1'VE BEEN AFRA1D TO... SEE WHAT 1T 1S THEY'RE CHARG1NG... TAKODA: BUT WE ARE CLOSE TO THE CAP1TAL... 1 GUESS WE M1GHT AS WELL... STOP THERE... -doesn't seem keen on the idea though-
HIGHBLOOD: to eavesdrop, weren't like it wasn't gonna already get up and goin on, bein in the middle of that route makes shit easier =Dueces from the back=
PENNY: WOOOOOO!!!!
DAVENFORTH: Kill the figureheads and send the heart a message
DAVENFORTH: She can be touched
PENNY: fuck troll booths GO JOHN WILKES BOOTH.
RILEY: -done with eavesdropping apparently- are we assassins now?
MAYOR: -produces a burger King crown and stomps on it on the floor. NO MASTERS. NO KINGS.-
DEREK: Lil dude knows whats up.
PENNY: YEEAAHHH BOIII.
DEREK: -to be fair riley some of us here have always been assassins.-
DAVENFORTH: -Sweats-
RILEY: -WELL I HAVENT-
QIRIN: =she has almost been assassinated several dozen times. does that count as experience?=
RILEY: -aside from assassinating the abstract concepts of family-
PENNY: -YOU DID SUCCEED AT THAT-
QIRIN: =ladies=
PENNY: so whats the plan? how are we doing it?
RILEY: anarchy.
HIGHBLOOD: you'll find the how's always changin sis HIGHBLOOD: best to do it, get it done cause ain't no event can be planned down
DAVENFORTH: Especially not with clowns in the mix
DAVENFORTH: Trust me we got this
PENNY: so were driving the party bus into the White House. got it.
TAKODA: (UHH...)
HIGHBLOOD: hell yeah
DAVENFORTH: Not quite but close
TAKODA: (OH... THAT'S A REL1EF... PROBABLY?)
RILEY: but still with a bang.
TAKODA: ST1LL... 1T WOULD PROBABLY BE ADV1SABLE, 1F WE HAD SOME K1ND OF PLAN, BEFORE WE ROLLED 1NTO THE CAP1TAL... -fidgets nervously-
RILEY: no plan. everyone for themselves. if our plans contradict each other's and we all die, oh well.
HIGHBLOOD: amen sis, everybody's gotta go sometime
RILEY: -oh my god he's being serious-
HIGHBLOOD: :o)
TAKODA: ...
RILEY: that is not actually what i think we should do.
RILEY: just putting that out there.
HIGHBLOOD: =Is he? Who knows= here i was under some mass assumption that the ones all up without alla that gumption and fight experience was gonna leap they asses into the fray wills n nills flung about
DEREK: -snickers. oops.-
RILEY: -unimpressed face at derek-
DEREK: -love u...-
RILEY: -UH HUH-
DEREK: -just winks-
RILEY: -acts like she's pushing her hair out of her face but she is only using her middle finger-
DAVENFORTH: I could probably get in easy enough by myself
DAVENFORTH: Doubt the security is much of anything
HIGHBLOOD: =sNRK, they really aren't much of anything he's sure=
RILEY: don't play the hero. -THIS AINT OVERWATCH AND YOU ARE NOT A BAD GENJI-
DAVENFORTH: Hardly playing hero
RILEY: then who's gonna be your backup?
DEREK: That would be me.
RILEY: then who's going to be YOUR back up?
DAVENFORTH: We got each others backs thats three sixty coverage
DAVENFORTH: We could take molly hes rowdy enough -That's you ghb-
HIGHBLOOD: i was already headed there but i could leave a trail for y'all :oP =eats nachos at=
PENNY: alright well I call dibs on the getaway bus.
RILEY: can we make sure my kid has a dad and an uncle and a...big clown guy by the time we leave D.C.? no stupid reckless shit.
DEREK: Baby please when have I ever been reckless?
PENNY: -side eyes-.........
PENNY: kid?
HIGHBLOOD: =eats these nachos and watches this=
RILEY: all the fucking time. -glances at penny- yeah. kid.
DEREK: --
DAVENFORTH: Pretty sure lif would kill me if i died
PENNY: -she's real quiet now, staring at the floor of the bus.-
RILEY: hilarious. -she notices penny's demeanor change and isn't quite sure why, but figuring out her sister now isn't as easy it was when sadness went away with hugs and singing made her happy-
PENNY: -She's working her jaw and tapping her foot as the seconds and the minutes go by, and then before long she hops up and rushes to the little bus bathroom, clanging the door shut behind her.-
DEREK: -watches her storm off- ... -looks back at riley-
RILEY: -also watches- well, shit.
DAVENFORTH: Damn
ROXANNE: -With the sound of the bus bathroom door shutting she starts to wake up from her nap in the back of the bus. Why people gotta be noisy.-
LIFERA: -probably snuggled up to Roxanne too. It's a cuddle nap party in the back of the bus.-
ROXANNE: -Sits up some more only to have the donuts GHB apparently stacked on her head while she was out topple onto her lap.- ........... -blinks at them.-
ROXANNE: -Also heck, fish queen is adorable, shes taking care not to wake her as she sits up and quietly stretches.-
HIGHBLOOD: =In which case Lifera has donuts on her horns=
ROXANNE: -That... is amusing.- ROXANNE: -Okay time to stretch her legs, she carefully gets up from the back of the bus snuggle pile and moves herself forward towards the rest of the awake people.- ROXANNE: -Sits and dusts donut crumbs off herself.- So. Miss anything interestin'?
DEREK: Only that were gonna storm the white house and assassinate the presidents.
ROXANNE: ....Are we bein' serious or not in saying that?
RILEY: -her mind's a little elsewhere and she keeps having to focus on not looking at the bathroom door.-
ROXANNE: -Maybe Riley needs a nap. Naps are pretty relaxing. Just look how calm Roxanne is right now.-
RILEY: -NOBODY ASKED YOU ROXANNE!!!!!!-
DEREK: I cant believe yall are accusing me left and right of taking such serious subjects lightly. Unbelievable.
ROXANNE: Thats not technically an answer.
ROXANNE: Just want to be clear on whatever plan people are makin' up when im snoozing.
RILEY: baseless accusations. -she's gonna move next to Derek because too many feelings about family right now.-
ROXANNE: -Props her feet up on the empty seat next to her.-
DEREK: -wraps an arm around riley. relax, babe.- For real though thats the plan. DEREK: Were right on the Capitals doorstep. In the middle of a war. The Condesce thinks she can do whatever the fuck she wants with any idiot working under her. DEREK: Might as well send her a message.
RILEY: -leans against him.- they wanna fuck shit up.
ROXANNE: -Mmmmm, she certainly feels conflict over this idea. On one hand, earth is her home and damn right shes all for getting rid of this clown presidency bullshit. However, her biggest priority is to find and get back to her loved ones asap...-
ROXANNE: I get the sentiment.
ROXANNE: You make it sure sound easy though.
DAVENFORTH: Its just juggalos how hard could it be
ROXANNE:
President
juggalos. Even Trump had protection.
DEREK: Yeah but Derek and Davenforth Strider werent alive back then. -this cocky motherfucker-
ROXANNE: -He is the most cocky.- ROXANNE: Mmmhm.
DEREK: -more winking-
ROXANNE: -Manboy please.-
JODIE: -burps-
ROXANNE: -Side eyes Jodie at the burp.-
JODIE: scuzie.
HIGHBLOOD: blame it on the bubbly sis =he's probably shared faygo with her=
JODIE: i thought y'all would be more anxious to reunite with yer kid.
ROXANNE: I sure am.
ROXANNE: No offense to porrim but my skin has been crawlin' knowin russet is on the ship without at least one of us.
QIRIN: =has she been pacing? yup=
JODIE: sorry...kids.
DAVENFORTH: -Sighs-
RILEY: we are all very far apart i think so... i'm not sure this detour will take away much time at all.
JODIE: yeah. 'caus eoverthrowin the government is really just a pit stop.
ROXANNE: It's goin' to take more time them going straight there.
ROXANNE: Also there is the whole.
ROXANNE: I dunno' chance of dying?
DAVENFORTH: Jinjin is in good hands besides what were doin is gonna help make a better place for them to grow up
JODIE: do you really think everythin is gonna work out exactly as you plan it to. -just staring flatly-
DEREK: Yep.
ROXANNE: -She's with you Jodie.-
JODIE: i mean you're the ninja's not me.
RILEY: ain't dave in alaska? and dirk is in the black hole of texas.
JODIE: 'sides it hought you all were apart of a crew but i don't see you askin permission.
DAVENFORTH: Im real bad at doing that
ROXANNE: Wow the confidence is unreal. -She's a little salty that Derek isn't more anxious to get back to his kids.-
DAVENFORTH: Ask my nephew
JODIE: sounds like arrogant, poorly planned bs.
JODIE: this is just a testosterone-fest.
JODIE: -snorts-
DAVENFORTH: No this is about sending a fucking message
JODIE: don't try to make it seem all noble. at lesat be honest. haha.
DEREK: -naturally he's anxious to see them, but he's with his brother here...-
RILEY: -watches jodie-
ROXANNE: -Stand up to your brother-
DEREK: -why would he stand up to him when he agrees with him??-
HIGHBLOOD: =Plays tense, appropriate music for the bickering humans. Tramatic muffled trumpet softly in the bg=
DAVENFORTH: This is about telling her that were not standing for this bullshit she knows were coming but shes gonna know were coming with a goddamn vengeance im not gonna let my daughter grow up in the grips of a galaxy that despises her fuckin existence and im damn sure not gonna let her live with the same bullshit ive gone through
JODIE: -sad trombone would be more fitting in her opinion-
DAVENFORTH: If youve got a problem youre welcome to walk
JODIE: i'm just sayin, you can't go around claiming this is the best plan for everyone. it's just the best plan for yer ego.
JODIE: i ain't going anywhere.
JODIE: i don't have any special powers. and i ain't got no leg to stand on when it comes to decision making. i'm barely a crew member.
ROXANNE: Im siding with Jodie on this. ROXANNE: Im really all for taking the ax to this new government, but we've got other issues to deal with first.
ROXANNE: We can meet up with everyone else and regroup an attack later.
DAVENFORTH: You can go too i dont give a shit
ROXANNE: Right now we are spread thin, with no back up, no intell. And like hell you two are doin' it on your own.
JODIE: -just snort laughs.-
JODIE: well, there wasn't no harm in trying. -JUST CHINHANDING.-
DAVENFORTH: Im not askin for backup and im not asking you to be alright with it ill go it alone if i goddamn have to but im not just gonna let this woman have her way with earth like she has every other planet
DAVENFORTH: Shes fucking playing us
DAVENFORTH: Weve lost too much we hold dear
DAVENFORTH: Its her fucking turn
ROXANNE: -Stares straight at Derek like "Can you believe this??"-
JODIE: -shrugalugs at riley and then just sprawls over the bus seat again.-
DEREK: -sorry ro...- We gotta pass through DC regardless so.
DEREK: Maybe yall dont wanna go with us but aint nothin gonna stop me and him from trying.
QIRIN: | )
ROXANNE: -STARES HARDER.-
DAVENFORTH: Just drop us off fuck it
ROXANNE: Derek. You got one infant girl on a ship hundreds of miles away. ROXANNE: And another unborn baby sittin' right next to you.
ROXANNE: ...Are you actually bein' serious right now???
ROXANNE: You can be as confident as you want but you know going through with that plan means you might Die right?
DAVENFORTH: Third times the charm -Scoffs-
JODIE: if you can't convince em not to do it, you should try to minimize the damage.
QIRIN: >_> =what did u say=
DAVENFORTH: -YOU HEARD HIM-
RILEY: -she doesn't know exactly what to say here. she considers herself stuck either way. There's no winner here. Some of the most stubborn people she knows are in this bus. she sighs, rubbing her own neck-
DEREK: -stfu dave u ain't dying.-
JODIE: -looking at Roxanne- you're a smart lady arentcha. they'd have a better chance of survivin if you helped.
QIRIN: Is the term not "three strikes, you are out"?
ROXANNE: -Side eyes Jodie even more.- Of course im helpin' if he goes through with this stupid plan.
JODIE: cool beans.
DEREK: -scoffs a little. incredible...-
DEREK: Well yeah Im goin through with it.
ROXANNE: Maybe hopefully he'll realize how crazy this is if both of Russet's parents are at risk--
ROXANNE: -YOU ARE REALLY TESTING HER DEREK.-
RILEY: -while they're talking, she moves Derek's arm off of her and walks off where she sits in the back-
ROXANNE: -Her eyes follow Riley, shes pretty miffed she didn't say anything in this argument.-
JODIE: -she's also judging riley for this tbh-
JODIE: -but she's already accepted her fate. she's doing all she can to help, at least for jamie's sake.-
DAVENFORTH: -He's quiet. Thinking about his two daughters. How condy's reign would mean their literal deaths.-
QIRIN: =She's thinking utter subjugation and ruin of her people=
QIRIN: =though both are not pretty thoughts=
RILEY: -she thinking about history repeating itself and how truly fucked they'll all be this time-
DAVENFORTH: -But he's also thinking about Beforus, Europa, the people here on Earth. How much would it mean to end the figureheads of their subjugation. Would it spur them on to fight? Would Condy's grasp on Earth slip even a little bit?-
JODIE: -She's thinking about how aginst this James would be.-
JODIE: -Sorry charlie!-
JODIE: -If somebody stronger was here in her eplace.-
RILEY: -she wasn't thinking about the consequences much before. but where the hell is she going to have to wait around while all this happens?-
DAVENFORTH: I think everyone who doesnt want in should continue to minnesota
RILEY: -from the back, a little irritated- and wait?
JODIE: no. i'm gonna help. -SPITEFUL-
JODIE: -maybe you get to do this, but she's not going to let you HAVE this-
DAVENFORTH: Thats your choice
DAVENFORTH: You just gonna wait in dc riley
JODIE: -She's liking Davenforth less and less all the time. Stupid jerk.-
RILEY: i don't fucking know. i sure as hell ain't going out of state away from you three while you try to pull this off.
DAVENFORTH: -It's fine he's used to it-
RILEY: i don't want to leave anybody behind.
DAVENFORTH: I respect that
DAVENFORTH: I dont want yall in danger for somethin you didnt sign up for i aint forcin that on anyone but im doin this
ROXANNE: Do you honestly think you would be doing it alone. Not everyone on this bus is okay with letting some of us go on a possible suicide mission.
DAVENFORTH: You should know me by now ro
JODIE: -Snorts.- so charitable.
RILEY: look, if i didn't have a tiny person inside of me, then i'd jump in and help.
ROXANNE: Guess I thought I did. -She shrugs.-
ROXANNE: Im doin' it with you two, but im not happy 'bout it. Actually Im pretty pissed.
ROXANNE: We do live through this I'm kicking your asses myself after we get back to the ship.
QIRIN: =clears her throat after a very long time of being quiet= I would like to hear more of this plan of yours if you or...we are to go through with this.
DAVENFORTH: Everyones kicking my ass after this one probably
TAKODA: -all these bad vibes... he's just going to go back to driving since they uh... have a plan now, he guesses. he's mostly uneasy because he knows, as a part of the resistance, they should take an opportunity as it's presented to them...-
RILEY: -rubbing her forehead-
DEREK: -his guilt isn't obvious, but it's definitely there. he doesn't want to endanger anybody here, and it ain't as if he wants to orphan any of his kids, but... sometimes you gotta follow your gut. he's just keeping quiet for now.-
RILEY: -she puts her hood of the jacket she's wearing up and turns so that she's watching everything pass by, damn hormones and emotions making her eyes all watery-
JODIE: -drinks-
RILEY: -IF ONLY SHE COULD-
