The day was incessantly rainy. Abbi was sick of staring out her window just to see rain pouring. Abbi stood up from her desk chair and looked out the window, rain pouring as hard as it could. With nothing but a sweatshirt on, she gazed over at the bee "hives" and they were all covered with blankets and sheets. Sigh. Abbi's awful father took all of her blankets and sheets in the house to cover some bees. What the hell, dad. She felt betrayed, and then went to sit back down only to get a pester from Alex, to which she quickly went offline out of fear to talk to him. Which was totally not like her, she was often way too open with this boy. She quickly came back online and then they spoke. [hider=-- Show Pesterlog --] You've read this already! [/hider] Upon the abrupt ending of that chat, she stood grinning. That boy made her heart jump in so many ways, there was absolutely no way that she could be prepared to see him in real life, because they would have to be video chatting to coordinate all this. Their friend group was sizable, sizable enough for codependent Abbi. Sera and Lyra were good friends, while Alex, Rich, and Abbi talked often. Kris was the butterfly, talked to everyone occasionally. To play with Alex, she’d need to actually get the disks. So she stood and snuck down the stairs and into the living room, attempting to avoid a strife with her sperm donor. She made her way out onto the porch and sprinted through the grass, rain pelting her as she ran past all the artificial bee hives and to the mailbox. On her way back, she tripped and her sweatshirt flew up. Flustered, she got up as fast as possible and ran into her room. She pestered Alex.

She realized that she’d probably have to shower because she was covered in mud, and it had spread to unsavory places. -- After a quick shower, she came back to a notification on her laptop. Naturally. She opened up the pesterchum notification. [hider= --Show Pesterlog--] [02:38] -- methodicalAdministrant [MA] began pestering buzzingElectra [BE] at 14:38 -- [02:38] MA: Hello.

Why, those would Bee Hives. [02:40] BE: no i think that'zz juzzt my- [02:40] BE: oh [02:40] MA: They make you highly unkissable as a suitable romantic human interest because of strange "disgusts." [02:41] BE: man that really hurtzz [02:41] MA: Ew. Flee now, growth ridden simian vermin. [02:42] BE: ;-; :-< [02:42] MA: The purpose of trolling is to inflict maximum angst in the afflicted. Are you sufficiently angsty, bee-themed human grubling? [02:42] BE: i am rather angzzty [02:42] BE: my feelingzz have been hurt zzufficiently i'd prezzume [02:43] MA: Very well. I shall continue with the proper formalities following such a villainous and devestating "roast." [02:43] MA: I am a troll. It is a species very different than your own. My name, what we refer to the titles we bestow upon ourselves, is Coboli. [02:44] BE: yeah, it'zz apparent you're a troll [02:44] BE: wait "zzpeciezz"? [02:44] MA: Yes. [02:44] MA: We are what you would refer to as "Invader Zims." [02:44] MA: I have watched your old holotapes. [02:44] BE: uh [02:44] BE: like alienzz [02:44] BE: ? [02:45] MA: "Aliens" is the term you use to refer to illegal entreants into a legal state without proper documentation, is it not? [02:45] MA: I am not in your state. I am not an "illegal alien." [02:45] MA: I am an "Invader Zim." [02:46] BE: well yezz but [02:46] BE: "invader zim" izz a tv zzhow, or uhh, form of media where the main character izz an alien [02:46] MA: Is there complaint? [02:46] MA: Oh. [02:46] MA: That is a drastically short title for a television programme. [02:46] MA: Humans must have terribly poor memories. [02:46] BE: man you zzhould meet richie [02:47] BE: anywayzz [02:47] BE: an alien with the definition of another zzpeciezz not indigineouzz to "Earth" [02:47] MA: Though, I must admit, many modern shows have been devesatingly shortened.

Many of them assumed text correlated to blood. I quickly ascertained hemotyping was not native to your primitive culture. [02:52] BE: "hemotyping" ? [02:53] MA: You have "cherry red" blood, a rare and looked down upon mutation in our own world. [02:53] BE: you have different color blood? [02:54] MA: Yes. Mine is teal, which correlates to your "Marxian Middle Class," without the necessity for a bloody overturning of society. [02:55] BE: down with the bourgeoizz [02:56] MA: I am a member of our illustrious government. I am certain my connections are monitored. If you make one more heinous, revolutionary comment against our merciful rulers, I will be forced to terminate all contact with you. [02:56] MA: I would prefer to keep my darling humangrublingpet.

[03:00] BE: zzo izz hemo-whatever have anything to do biologically or izz it like our human "race warzz" [03:02] MA: It is more akin to the subjugation of the "negroes," "spicks," "limies," and "ching chongs" in ancient human culture. [03:02] MA: Your culture regressed soon after, to much lament. [03:02] BE: it'zz zztill like that [03:02] BE: i mean [03:02] BE: much diluted [03:03] MA: Yes, it does still have some vague smatterings of a proper society.

[03:04] BE: "limiezz" not zzo much azz well [03:04] BE: but "negroezz" and "zzpickzz" are zztill offenzzive [03:05] MA: I like to be sensitive to the inferior cultures.

Abbi continued to wait for the “ok” from Alex, so that she could start playing. She thought that she should probably put some pants on before they start video chatting.
