I’ve never felt affection towards another champion or figure within my time of awareness.

On the fields, I have talked to a few.. but it’s often short conversations, and nothing more than necessary. No one expresses a desire to socialize with me, and I really don’t express much interest in return. My ‘fellow’ Zaunites are actually fairly difficult to talk to; I don’t possess any form of profession or skill that could spark conversation, set aside from Singed, maybe. You have to remember that Singed is a professional, I am still only learning—but if I am similar to someone in profession, it might as well be him.

There are also might be some complications: instances where I’ve—well—how about I say borrowed a few flasks off  of a certain someone’s chemistry tables. I can assure you I put them to better use than aforementioned someone.. but that story can be put away for another time, hehe.

Rats, as a species, simply get into things. Food, paper and books, chemicals.. it makes sense to deem them as pests, and pests need to be removed, right?

Higher level of thought should naturally take priority over those with a lower level of thought when it comes to life. If that rat had gotten itself killed because it was in the wrong place, then that is the rat’s fault.

.. I will admit that it does make me feel a little sad when I see such poor little rodents scurry about, clueless as to what goes on in the large world around them. I try my best not to step on their tails, and sometimes I feed them scraps of whatever I have left. I have a few pets, actually..

But.. no, I haven’t. Besides, scientists needs a nice lab rat, yes? I’ve used several. They aren’t me, so I don’t express much care.

I’m the only one in Runeterra, so I wouldn’t be surprised!

And, yes, I’m certainly something. 

He noticed the summoner’s garb, and his tone seemed to change. Twitch took on a look of slight irritation.

Oh, wait, don’t tell me—You’re from the Institute. I deal with enough of you pests on a near-daily basis. Don’t tell me, don’t tell me: You want to see my notes again. What, with how often these summoners ask, you’d think they’d have gathered up enough resources and returned it to the institute for their own study. While I’m happy to part with the information, I’m not very happy to part with my time that you are eating away at.

Despite his rant, it was pretty obvious that this situation most likely had no relation to whatever the summoner had come to talk to him about.

…

For what seemed like ages, he could only stew in silence. Oh, it was very apparent he was angry, it’s just.. he couldn’t even begin to fathom what to say. Someone struck a nerve.

What kind of stupid question is this!?

Why in the world would I ever let anyone bathe me!? Why would I ever be caught in a circumstance where someone could possibly even try?

No, of course not. Don’t get such stupid ideas. That has never happened. Not once. 

Weeks late.

But no.

Clearly, you should sell him as a slave!

I’m sure someone would be happy to buy a pair of young hands to chore and work around their home, laboratory, whatever setting seen fit. 

Ah, but don’t drop him off here. The sewers are already occupied enough. You would be surprised what sorts of oddities lie in the flow beneath Zaun—not including myself, of course.

I don’t have one place, since I am always moving between several different locations to take different samples and observations.

.. However, there is one place that I feel more ‘comfortable’ at, or should I say that it feels ‘hospitable’? My place of ‘birth’, hee hee. 

[[ concerning lore; there isn’t a lot to really wing off of with twitch, so sometimes i do make things up on the spot. he doesn’t even have any JoJ articles or mail (which is incredibly funny to me). a little bit of ‘headcanon’ is fine, i just try not to break character. ]]

Free time?

The Plaguerat began to twist at one of the rings on his fingers with his other hand, turning it half-way to a pause and then finally finishing the full circle.

I’m almost always busy, but if you really must know — yes, I do a bit of writing. Not a lot and I’ve published it from time to time. You can find a lot of my work in just about any sort of tabloid if it concerns ‘celebrities’, hehe..

I know, Grayface, you were expecting some sort of philosophical mastermind to be dabbling around in more useful literature. With due time, maybe.

I have several books of ‘notes’. If we are talking about my research, then it expands on for quite a ways. At least 200 or so pages of complicated notes, and then another 200 pages of research on mixtures found within the sewers and their properties.

My commonplace book, however..

Twitch closes his eyes to think.

The pages are coated in a lot of different things, but there are only about 40 pages currently used. 

While my body’s form changed I really am not sure if my senses of perception did. 

I believe that with a more sentient mind, I was given the ability to understand these sensations and apply thought to them.. rather than taking in what I see, smell, and hear and applying instinct instead.
