"Hey.. I know you just want to have fun, but can you not try to surprise the random civilians here?" ZAC held up the newspaper. "Valid Plague Rat Sightings!?" it screamed. "I heard that they may try to find you and.. y'know. I'm just worried about you pal. Maybe take a break from this? A week at least? I could always use more help with fixing some pipes here!"

An ear was cocked after the initial flinch caused by the sound going off so close to him and he gave a glance to the aforementioned paper, giving a sniff as he fiddled with one of the bolts he was lovingly preparing. 

“If the surface dwellers are afraid, they’re just gaining sense. They want to find Twitchy? HA! Twitchy will show them what happens when they come into HIS home!”

He gave the bolt an energetic flourish as if that answer hadn’t been priorly obvious, shooting the anthropomorphous man a look meant to remind him that in terms of people being allowed into his territory, ZAC was an exception and in no way close to the rule.

A short comic drawing prompt from @a-rat-and-a-blob showing Twitch and Zac’s first meeting after Zac retreats into the sewers following the death of his adoptive parents. 

I may colour it, eventually.

"STAY AWAY FROM MY SEWERS! Twitch wants NONE of your dumb explosions!" (Twitch)

What was that? The 100th bomb she planted in the sewers? Yep, that was the last one for now. She was almost done setting the bomb glued to the wall when a voice called her attention. Jinx immediatly dropped the empty bag, pulling zapper and turning to the rat, his head at gun point.

He didn’t want the explosions? That only made the girl laugh like a maniac.

“OH, I am SOOOO sorry! How rude of me to bring it without asking your permission!” She said sarcastically while her free hand moved to press the last buttom on the bomb. It was ready. Well, it wasn’t a time bomb, it was only activated if she pressed a buttom so the other didn’t have to worry about it...For now.

“You know what? You are right! I won’t put any more bombs!” Not like she had any left anyways “And you can feel free to defuse them! I won’t stop you since this is your sewer” If he even knew how to turn those things off without making them explode.

But that was his problem, not hers.

"What's with you and your surface dwellers' obsession with metal? The good thing metal is used for is a rust pop!" (Twitch)

Viktor looked down at the rat, expression hidden behind his mask.

Strange things came from the sewers. Perhaps he would have been surprised by a talking rat a few years ago, but now it only warranted a quirk of a hidden eyebrow.

“Your home - the sewers, I presume - is crafted out of metal to efficiently deal with Zaun’s waste and runoff. Would you rather have it be made of wood?”

[ask-the-trash-king]

Just for character building. What does he think of Warwick? He may have a den somewhere in Zaun, but he may have went through the sewers to kill running prey. He can also sniff Twitch out pretty well.

((I feel that Warwick would terrify Twitch. I mean, he’s bigger, likely faster, and considering that most of his insides are mechanical, Twitch’s poison won’t do much to slow him down. It also wouldn’t help that, like you’ve said, he can probably track him down easily enough. I feel that Twitch’s main saving grace against Warwick is that he does know the sewer systems better, and can probably access areas that Warwick doesn’t know about (not to mention, in the sewers it would probably be more difficult for Warwick to distinguish Twitch’s scent among the overpowering stench of chemicals and waste. 

In terms of personal opinion, Twitch probably feels that Warwick (when not terrifying) is really too much of a nuisance to be counted as a positive for all the humans he disposes of. Lastly, while its probably ultimately a plus for him, Twitch likely takes offense that Warwick has taken his place as the furry fiend for all in the underbelly to be afraid of.))

DespRATe Times

@a-rat-and-a-blob

There was an odd shift in the air.

He waited for the perfect moment, waiting and waiting.

The teen hated waiting. Each second he was using here, he could be using somewhere else. 

But, maybe waiting for this perfect time would save him more time, in the end. No time to waste. Carefully, the boy lifted up the dirty manhole cover, grime sloshing into his gloves, making sure no one was around when he zipped in. 

He kept his hand at his blade as he almost slipped and let at a yelp–!

R E W I N D

‘That’s one down.’ He thought, carefully placing the manhole cover above him, making as little noise as possible. He was on a mission, and he wouldn’t fail. Target couldn’t be lost. Or whatever the coppers would say.

That-thing was spotted recently. Somehow. He didn’t really remember how he heard it. But the moment the boy did, he swiftly dashed to the nearest street, dirty smoke filling his lungs with each breath.

Climbing down the ladder, slowly, slowly, as slow as his anxious body could go, trying to make sure no echoes were heard.

But Ekko would be heard from this rat-with his head on his blade. Now, he had to investigate these sewers, and go from there.

It was time to exterminate the rat.

"Hey kid.. What's a cute little girl like you doing out here all alone in Zaun? You lost?" (ZAC)

@a-rat-and-a-blob

Annie looked up at the giant green blob curiously, smiling cheerfully at being called cute, “I’m not alone, I’m exploring with Tibbers!” She held up the stuffed bear to demonstrate. “You seem really interesting Mister, are you made of jelly?”
