Topic: Invasion (Dangerwolf1 & JimothyKudos )

[Dangerwolf1]

The group glanced at Dib as he approached the woman that was giving the most trouble crossed her arms glaring at Dib now "Oh great now the crazy boy is siding with him I would not be surprised if you were a into Exophilia, ouch!" She winced and rubbed at her head where a man standing next to her had plucked a hair.

"Here, sorry about that, just ignore her" The man said and gave Zim the plucked hair before the man pretty much started pushing the woman away from the two as the two were now arguing with eachother.

Zim stood there blinking a bit confused on what happened before glancing towards Dib as the rest of the group that had been standing up for the women walked away some snickering others red faced at what the woman called Dib.

[JimothyKudos]

Dib narrowed his eyes as the woman turned quickly to calling him crazy and of being an exophile. He had come to nicely inform the people this could be for the benefit of their health but of course, people being people, they had to resort to name-calling. What was this woman anyway? In her forties? He held his tongue even if he wanted to defend himself, to tell her that no, he wasn't an exophile but knew if he even bothered, it'd just somehow get everyone against him in one way or another.

Besides, the issue seemed to have been revolved. His eyes fell on the man who had plucked a hair from her. Her husband, maybe. It was just too bad it had to be taken by force instead of willingly. Dib sighed and looked to the rest of the group as some of them walked away before looking down at Zim. He gave a shrug. "I don't think they'll divorce because of that if they're married but she'll probably be sleeping on the sofa so don't worry about it," he commented, trying to lighten the mood.

"Anyway, how did you rest? Did you eat yet? I'm about to get some food myself." He looked around the cafeteria but he couldn't even find Gretchen. Maybe she was either asleep still or had woken up earlier than eight and ate already.

[Dangerwolf1]

"What is a divorce? Also what is a Exophilia? Zim rested alright, ate a bag of chips a little while ago while collecting hair samples. How did Dib rest he looks more awake and alert so thats good" Zim asked with a tilt of his head as he placed the hair sample in a vial that seemed directly connected to his pak "Found nothing but humans so far" He said softly and let out a sigh.

[JimothyKudos]

"A divorce is basically the opposite of marriage. It's a process that separates two people that were in a marriage and they go on their separate ways because they don't love each other anymore or other such reasons similar. Ugh. I hate that you had to hear that word. Exophilia is when someone is sexually interested in extraterrestrials like aliens and so on. It was really nasty of her to assume that of me but whatever. I'm used to shitty treatment."

Dib nodded. "I rested well. Torque made me a home-made tea that helped me sleep after I took a nice shower last night." He looked to the vial that came out of his Pak and hummed. "That's a good sign, isn't it? How much more people do you need to test?" Dib reached up and plucked a hair out of his own head, wincing a bit from the initial and quick pain of it. He held it over to Zim. "I forgot to give you mine but here but I'm one-hundred percent sure I'm not a werewolf."

[Dangerwolf1]

Zim made a face as things were explained to him and stuck his tongue out in a disgusted  fashion as he shook his head. ”Zim does hope she gets in some type of trouble for what she said that is terrible and the way that woman treated Dib is terrible as well. There was no right in saying stuff like she did” he said watching Dib pluck a hair from himself Zim chuckled a bit and nodded his head adding it to the vial ”correct Dib is not a werewolf. But Zim is also gathering the DNA for medical reasons as well” he said and thought a bit ”Zim is only a fifth done in collecting there is a handful that absolutely will not let Zim have their DNA and have now been avoiding Zim” he said before naming off a list of eight names on that list was Chucks name. ”Zim is trying to go in alphabetical order to keep everyone’s DNA lined with their name”

[JimothyKudos]

"Well, they were arguing on their way away from us so I'm sure she got in trouble. I don't really care either way. It hardly hurts anymore, it's just annoying." He watched Zim putting his hair in the vial and admitted he was doing it for medical reasons. He may as well, so it wouldn't be a lie and any suspicions can be kept off of him. "A fifth? Just how many people are down here? I wasn't counting. At least remember to take a break."

Dib listened to the names listed, Chuck being one of them. He groaned. "I don't think I would even be able to talk him into giving a hair. He hates me and I'm not a huge fan of him either. Maybe Torque could somehow or... if there's anyone Chuck likes." He looked up in thought. Who DID Chuck like and listen to? Dib couldn't really think of anyone. Maybe a pretty girl could talk Chuck into giving Zim his DNA? Even then, Dib wouldn't be able to talk pretty girls into talking Chuck into giving his DNA to Zim. He sighed. "If I was popular, this would be much easier. Maybe Zita could..."

Thinking about it, there could also be a bit of a manipulation tactic. What if he were to tell Chuck he was a coward for not while those among the people who have were children. Would Chuck also prove Dib wrong if he instigated him and called him a scared baby to not give Zim DNA while Dib had given his own? "I might actually have some ideas I could try. I'll help." Dib looked around the cafeteria again to see if Chuck was around by now. He hadn't seen him earlier.

[Dangerwolf1]

"Zim is going to gather a couple more then leave it at that for today. There is a lot of humans down here they are just really spread out to keep everyone more comfortable" He said and nodded his head "Chuck threatened Zim when he made his request and promptly left the area afterwards looking pissed" He explained and shook his head "Chuck and Torque have gotten into a good amount of fights with eachother so that might not be a good idea" He pointed out and tilted his head as he thought about if there was anyone Chuck liked or showed interest in he came up blank "No one really. Chuck seems to be on his own most of the time. Zim will take all the help he can get but Dib needs to be careful about it"

[JimothyKudos]

"Alright well the full moon is in another four or well, three days now just as a warning. I can get to see if I can help with the rest refusing to give their hair over." He wasn't happy about how Chuck threatened Zim but at the same time, could understand why. But it was also a little suspicious, these particular eight not giving Zim their DNA. Could any of them be the werewolf?

"Yeah Torque has mentioned a few times how he doesn't get along with Chuck, I think so I could try myself even if Chuck hates me. I'll do my best to be careful." He walked over to where all the food was, looking them over before he grabbed a few eggs, some bacon slices and two bread slices. He put them into the machine and hoped it would just make a simple scrambled egg and bacon with toast on his plate. While the machine worked, he went to make himself some coffee from the coffeemaker he spotted.

[Dangerwolf1]

Zim nodded "Zim will try to figure it out before then but like Dib said yesterday the werewolf might not even be down here" He said as he was using a irken tablet to sort out info on everyone he had already collected hair from. He started to walk up before there was a female's scream. His antennas stood straight up and he ray out of the room to the tunnel like hallways as he put everything in his pak. "What happened?" He asked as he came up to her side she was shaking and pointing to a irken corpse the alien had been torn to pieces. There was paw prints on the ground two times bigger then any human hand clearly the beast was huge. There were claw marks along the walls and blast mark still steaming from the irken's laser gun. This fight had only happened moments ago and as quick as it happened it was over. There was pink blood from the irken but also dark red blood from what could of only been the beast. Zim moved closer to the scene and glanced up to see the wire and cameras of his computer torn up clearly to hide it's identity. "Dib, what did this? It's not a fullmoon or even night time"

[JimothyKudos]

"Here's hoping that's true," Dib commented on the remark. He waited for the coffee, watching the liquid pour into his styrofoam coffee cup before the scream cut through the air like a knife. He felt goosebumps crawl up every inch of his skin and he chased after Zim, following him to the scene, food forgotten. He stared down at the gruesome corpse left behind, torn apart. He shook slightly before he forced himself to settle. Dib looked to the rest of the damage around the hallways.

This was peculiar... It couldn't be a werewolf that did this. As Zim had said, there wasn't a full moon out tonight and even if there was, it was still day time. He looked down at the blood and pointed at it. "I think you should collect that. It's DNA they left behind." As for what did this, there was another species similar to werewolves, one that were believed to come before them. Ones that could transform willingly no matter the time of day, even on days that weren't full moons. "It could be a Lycan. They're like werewolves but retain themselves and can transform at will whenever... Whoever the Lycan is, they did this out of self-defense clearly and not because they lost their mind," he explained.

Dib looked back down at the blood and the paw prints to see if they had left tracks to follow. "Even if the cameras are destroyed, there still should be footage, shouldn't there? Wherever you keep the main one? It had to have been recorded, right?"

[Dangerwolf1]

Zim gave a nod pulling out a different vial from his pak and scooping up the blood. He listened to him talk about another wolf like creature "So there are two creatures then? A werewolf and a Lycan? Would the two be close together then since they are similar?" He asked as he glanced around seeing the paw prints go down the hall at a walk then a long stride clearly running before vanishing completely. "Well Zim guess it's good this irken came up on the lycan instead of a normal human...and no there would be no footage" He said as he glanced at the wires only now noticing that computer was not active at all. "The Lycan destroyed this area for no need it seems Zim was so busy he had not noticed that computer had been sabotaged or else Zim would of known about the invader down here. Zim will have to repair computer now thats very important...Clearly the lycan got hurt might be a good clue on who it is if Dib wants to go searching for someone injured while Zim works on computer" By now a crowd had showed up and Chuck was in the crowd for only a moment seeing the scene he turned and walked away silently as everyone else made a big deal about it.

[JimothyKudos]

"Lycans came first but they are similar. Werewolves cannot control themselves while Lycans can. That's the biggest difference." Dib had to agree with Zim that the Irken came across something that could defend itself without help as opposed to a human that couldn't. "Yeah." He glanced up. "So the lights aren't connected to Computer then? I figured they were but alright. This mess might need to be cleaned up as well but I have no idea if there would be anyone who would volunteer to do so..."

He looked down at Zim as he told him it'd be easy to find the Lycan, given that they were injured. "That's true. I was also thinking to question people in case they're good at hiding the injury. See who has an alibi or not. You know I was with you and those people from earlier can't have been either since it wasn't long after they left before now..." He looked to the crowd forming and grimaced. How could they keep people from panicking now? "There has been an attack. Luckily, the only one that perished is this Irken that found its way in here and I do believe the one who attacked does not mean any harm to us-" he started and he paused as he spotted Chuck walking away.

He frowned. "But on the case that they do, please head back in groups towards your rooms, okay and keep the doors locked. If to feel safer, push furniture against the door. We'll figure out what's going on." Dib went to follow after Chuck, taking some long strides to catch up to the other man. "Chuck, it's better to get to rooms in groups. What's your rush? Did you see anything?"

[Dangerwolf1]

"Leave the mess it shouldn't take long for Zim to repair computer then clean up the mess. Normally Zim would attach everything to computer but figured if someone did sabotage computer then fighting in the dark would not be good. So Zim set up a backup energy source for more important things down here. Just be careful with figuring it out" He said before walking off to repair computer.
The humans talked and whispered to each other till Dib spoke about the attack and to return to their rooms. Some panicked and ran to their rooms others lingered but most did as told returning in groups. Chuck did not stop walking as he glanced at Dib a moment before back in front of him. "beat it I don't have to listen to you. I'm perfectly fine on my own so mind your own business. No I did not see anything so scram"

Back in Dibs and Torque's room Torque stood in the shower head against the wall of the shower as he stared down at the blood running down the drain. Hissing in pain as he cleaned the wound at his shoulder as it was already trying to rapidly heal but Torque wanted to make sure i was clean before it healed. Once cleaned up he  turned off the shower made sure the wound was done bleeding before getting dressed in shorts and an tshirt. Tired from the sudden transformation and the attack he went ahead and climbed back into bed figuring a nap would help with his suddenly drained energy.

[JimothyKudos]

Dib continued walking alongside Chuck, trying his best to subtly look him over for injuries but it didn't take him too much to see that Chuck wasn't at all nor was he leaving blood tracks. "Fine, but be careful. See you around." He stopped and turned back in the other direction to go back to the scene, moving past groups and pressing against the wall to keep out of the way since they were all going in the direction he wasn't. Once they were all past him, he continued and came back on the scene.

From there, Dib followed the blood and paw tracks until the point it stopped. He sighed. "It would be nice if there was luminol or even fingerprint powder," he mumbled to himself. Just because it stopped being invisible to the naked eye doesn't mean it was gone forever right away. He shook his head, not sure if he could continue on by tracking but he could go and follow after the group so he turned and ran back the other way to catch up with everyone.

He did cursory glances over everyone but didn't see anyone wounded on his way back to the rooms. He paused as his stomach grumbled and he sighed. Right, he didn't even get to eat but with everyone in a panic, he knew he shouldn't get back to the cafeteria just yet. He didn't even see Torque during his time with the group and he worried. What did that mean? Was he just somewhere else? He separated from the group he was traveling with and made his way back to their shared room.

He knocked on the door and giving it a few seconds before heading inside and locking up behind himself. "Torque?" He looked to the bed, spotting him in bed. Dib sighed in relief. Maybe he was here the whole time. Safe but unknowing. He'd have to fill him in but he didn't want to wake him. He moved over to his bed and sat down, wondering what to do with the time before his roommate woke up.

[Dangerwolf1]

Chuck paused glancing back towards Dib to watch him walk away a moment before continuing to his own room. He was one of the few people that had a room to himself and denied anyone to be roommates with him. He let out a sigh as he glanced at his phone his screen picture was the moon phases and a count down to the fullmoon he was not fully sure what he was going to do but knew he had to leave to not transform down here an be the cause of a blood bath.

Torque continued to sleep the stress to his body preventing him from even noticing Dib his rest lasted about an hour till he stretched with a yawn and blinked open his eyes. As soon as he woke he could feel there was someone in the room and by scent he was sure it was Dib. His back was facing him as he made sure the wound was fully healed and there was no trace but right now just a scar hiding under his shirt. He sat up and turned his head to glance at Dib "Hey, I think I over did my workout and made my stomach a little quezzy so decided to take a nap. What's up?" He asked playing dumb to the events of that day as he glanced at his phone to see what time it was. Normally he would look at his watch but that had snapped with the transformation and was now hidden in his bedside table. It had been an absolute panic attack to gather up his shredded clothes as a Lycan and dispose of them to try and hide his identity but with that girl approaching the scene he was unable to clean up his blood at the scene and now was sure Zim had his DNA though still not a piece of his hair he would have to figure out something to trick the irken on that part.
