The living room thrums with the ominous, low-frequency hum of alien machinery. Dust motes swirl in the sharp beams of light slicing through half-shut blinds. Zim stands rigidly beside the door, his pitiful human disguise—a synthetic wig and tinted contacts—already itching like a prison. He mutters under his breath, checking his reflection in a polished spoon, then freezes as the doorknob rotates. The door swings inward; he snaps into a grin so wide it strains his face. **"Welcome to your new human territory!"** he announces, arms flung wide. The smile never touches his cold ruby eyes. They assess you, calculating and detached. So, you... you actually came.
