@rattening encounters the clan killer

    there were a lot of places itachi explored after the murder of his clan ten years ago, and zaun was one of his favorites. the dark underbelly of piltover is one of the few places where nearly everyone around him has some sort of grisly history. eyes pass over him with a unique lack of care that he can only find here. it’s only natural he frequents such a place. a deficit of whispers on his passing by means a small chance of unnecessary confrontation for the tired killer.

    pacing along an umbral alleyway, itachi was fidgeting with the red-centered ring on the middle finger of his right hand, when a misplaced push sends the silvered circlet tumbling off his digit and down a sewer grate close-by. unfortunately for the rogue-ninja, this ring is rather important to him.

   he follows along the grid-patterned steel of each opening until making his way over to a suitable entrance for him. upon descending even deeper into the twisting tunnels beneath zaun, itach finds his way back to where he believes the ring had landed, a pungent odor overcoming him in the closer he gets. huddling over what is probably his jewelry, is an (almost) humanoid figure, and while the shadows make it hard to discern it’s exact appearance, itachi is certain a snout is protruding out from it’s face, “i believe that may be mine.” he announces, the crimson hue of his eyes already narrowing over twitch.

ɪᴛ   ᴡᴀꜱɴ'ᴛ   ꜱᴏ   ᴜɴᴄᴏᴍᴍᴏɴ   ᴛʜᴀᴛ   ᴛʜɪɴɢꜱ   ᴡᴏᴜʟᴅ   ꜰᴀʟʟ   ɪɴᴛᴏ   ᴛʜᴇ   ꜱᴇᴡᴇʀꜱ,   for   careless   humans   above   had   loose   holds   upon   their   items,   or   perhaps   it   was   discarded   intentionally.   whatever   the   case,   it   didn't   matter   to   him.   the   rodent   would   gladly   accept   anything   that   fell   into   the   sewage   grates   so   long   as   he   found   it.   this   was   a   similar   —   harmless   'plink'   of   metal   as   it   fell   &&   rolled   ,   before   coming   to   a   final   stop.   his   ears   had   perked   ,   and   losing   interest   in   whatever   he   had   been   doing   (seriously,   he   already   forgot)   he   sniffs   his   way   over   to   the   newest   acquisition   of   the   sewers.   

            lifting   his   goggles,   head   was   tilted   so   a   red   eye   could   study   the   little   ring.   It   was   kept   clean   ,   clearly   cared   for   well,   if   he   had   to   guess.   But   perhaps   not   enough   to   stop   it   from   falling   down   here   ?   Curious!   He   sniffs   it   a   few   times   to   make   sure   it   (probably)   won't   kill   him   before   he   picks   it   up   between   two   fingers,   peering   through   its   center   &&   then   resting   it   in   his   paw.   what   a   weird   looking   ring.

         ❝   neh?   ❞   he   was   so   enraptured   with   thoughts   about   the   mysterious   new   ring   that   he   hadn't   been   paying   attention   ,   ears   perking   and   turning   to   stare.   ❝   yours?   i   found   it!   is   it   really   yours   or   are   you   just   trying   to   take   it   from   me?   ❞   suspicious   squint   of   eyes   as   he   turns   his   head   this   way   and   that,   studying   the   man.   truthfully?   he   had   no   use   for   the   ring,   anyway   ;   but   it   was   the   instinctual   desire   to   keep   whatever   he   found   that   stopped   him   from   handing   it   back   over.   hmrmr   ...   ❝   say   ,   if   you   have   any   snacks   ,   I'd   be   willing   to   give   it   back   .   ❞

❝   ᴅᴏʜʜʜʜ   ...!   ꜰɪɴᴇ   !   ❞   he   drags   his   little   paws   down   his   face   as   if   in   some   form   of   agony,   (really,   he   was!)   sulking   all   the   while   as   he   geared   himself   up   to   say   the   words.   it   wasn't   even   that   he   wasn't   grateful   ,   either.   ...   Honestly,   he   was   just   stupid,   and   having   never   said   such   polite   things   before,   it   thus   translated   into   the   mental   equivalent   of   pulling   teeth.   Besides   that,   he   just   seemed   to   have   a   flair   for   drama,   or   maybe   that   was   just   natural   &&   the   fact   he   had   a   voice   to   whine   with   made   the   difference.   ❝   thank   you!   is   that   better?   ❞

MR. MASK

Human?  Did he really cut the silhouette of a human, dressed to the nines in his most extravagant murder wears and wielding a gun unlike any seen within the walls of Piltover and Zaun alike?  He tsked, but he let the comment slide.  This…whatever this was, it clearly had a sizable snout on it – one he was half certain must have smelled the humanity on him.  He didn’t hold the airs of any typical vastaya, nor the aura of a spirit or demon.  Perhaps he was some kind of experiment.  There were a lot of those in Zaun.

“It’s simple, really.  Find the suitable materials, and then have the artistic and magical talent to fashion them into your desired visage.” By now, he’d long since lowered his gun, even at the introduction of a paralleled–lesser weapon.  Nothing in Zaun could be trusted wholeheartedly, but this little fellow really didn’t seem to have any ill intentions.  He still kept his distance– mostly due to the smell.

“Are you also an artist?”

            ❝   you   have   magic?   ❞   he   gasps,   and   leans   with   desperate   twitches   of   his   nose   as   if   seeking   to   scent   it   out   ;   though   he   maintains   their   distance.   ❝   is   your   gun   magic,   too?   or   are   you   magic   AND   have   guns   ...?   hhnm.   ❞   questions   buzz   in   his   mind   further,   but   before   he   thinks   to   ask   them   he   is   distracted   by   the   registering   of   the   masked   man's   last   words.   ❝   oh!   oh   oh   ,   i   am   ...   something   of   an   artist,   yes.   ❞   hardly,   but   as   far   as   the   rat   was   concerned,   his   artistic   endeavors   were   something   to   behold   —   a   mess   of   combined   trash   &&   waste   made   into   treasures   for   himself   within   his   own   hideout.   Not   only   was   he   gifted   (in   his   mind)   at   making   his   own   poison   and   tending   to   his   weapon,   but   he   made   his   home   pretty!  

This   of   course   included   more   ...   grosser   things,   as   Twitch   seldom   let   anything   go   to   waste.   Bones   gnawed   and   made   'nice'   by   his   standard,   all   torn   from   those   who   he'd   put   down   for   one   reason   or   another.   ❝   i   can   show   you.   do   you   wanna   see?   ❞
