Well, it sure as hell is a conundrum for all of us, ain't it? Plucked from our cozy lives, offered to be made into heroes. Doesn't leave hell of a lot of options for most people, I suppose.

Anyhow, I ain't here to be all dour. Not really how I play. Nah, I figure, why not make the best of the situation?

So we'll start at the basics, ladies and gentlemen. Introductions, shall we?

The name's Twisted Fate. And I'm awful curious to know you and what you do to pass the time here if you aren't... hero-ing about. Assuming that you do heroics, after all. Presumptuous, but if you aren't, then I'm even more interested.

Comments

[fourscores]

Twisted Fate, hm? Sounds vaguely familiar.

This production doesn't leave any options at all. Nothing of worth anyway.

[wentfishing]

Only if you've been around on Runeterra. Don't suppose if I'm talkin' to someone from there?

Sounds like someone who only scratches at the surface. But call it in as you want, friend.

[fourscores]

...Bligewater, right? I suppose it would have been too much to ask for a Noxian, but I digress.

Oh, I do far more than that. Things could be far more elaborate, and yet they lack the ideals to make it so.

[wentfishing]

Close enough, I suppose. Used to spend much of my time there. [Too much.]

Talkin' a whole lotta poetry there. You don't sound Demacian, though; not quite stuffy enough. Ionian?

[driftsintobuffetline]

Science. I do science.

What kind of name is Twisted Fate?

[wentfishing]

Pretty broad statement, but hey, if that's what you call fun knock yerself out.

The kind that's got a long story, but I'm fresh outta drinks to convince me I wanna tell it right now. I imagine yours is a little more conventional, science guy?

[driftsintobuffetline]

I have diverse scientific interests, what can I say?

Oh, yeah, super normal. Call me Newt.

[wentfishing]

So you're a scientific jack of all trades is what I'm hearin'. A man with diverse skills is incredibly handy to have around.

Ain't the weirdest I heard. Had a friend we called the Brick for awhile. [He chuckles.] Pleasure to meet you, Newt.

[rassera]

Is Twisted your first or last name?


[The important questions.]

Audio;

[wentfishing]

That'd be like askin' someone named Ann Marie which one's the first or last. It's neither.

Audio;

[rassera]

...Wouldn't they both be first then?

[Because if Ann Marie wasn't first or last then they were...what.]

Audio;

[wentfishing]

Don't think about it too hard. Wouldn't want you to hurt yourself.

[rideme]

Who has time for heroics around here? I've got donuts to buy and teenagers to wrangle.

Hi. How's it going?

video;

[wentfishing]

[Oh. Thank goodness this has a video setting because-- damn.]

That's completely reasonable.

Not so bad so far. Better now. [Twisted Fate tips his hat slightly.] Yourself?

video;

[rideme]

Oh, yeah, I thought so too. Especially with the food they have around here.

[Oh ho ho. Bull nods in return.]

Can't complain. Iron Bull. Nice meeting you.

video;

[wentfishing]

That good? 'Cuz there was a mighty fine bakery I can think of back home that was damn fine.

I like the name. Iron Bull. [He smiles sharply.] Charmed.

[ Video ]

[enucleation]

Most people are't hero-ing, no. Just living normally, if you can even call it that.

Personally, I train and spar. Also work.

[ Video ]

[wentfishing]

Well, I do imagine it might be more complicated then what I'm saying. [But he wouldn't be surprised about the people determined to do the right thing, supposedly.]

What a workaholic. Good for you, I guess.

[ Video ]

[enucleation]

It is. You'll find out on your own, eventually.

[ it's not always about the right thing. ]

And I just like to keep busy.

[ Video ]

[wentfishing]

I imagine it won't take long.

[He sighs.] Sounds droll. Other ways to keep busy.

[baetiful]

A lot can be said about a name. And a lot of people have said things about your name already. But I have to comment that it is quite a name. One you have given yourself?

[ Surely no self-respecting parent would name their kid 'Twisted Fate.' ]

audio;

[wentfishing]

At long last, not another what sort of name is that remark. [He chuckles.] But you got it in one, friend.

audio;

[baetiful]

Do I win a prize?

[ Mildly amused. ]

Or is my prize meeting a fascinating individual who shares the same predicament? The predicament of being a freshly arrived imPort.

[cuff]

[ But is that really your name bro. REALLY? Not... that Ray is one to talk. ]

Why, you lookin' for recommendations or are you really just that curious?

[wentfishing]

Little bit of column A, little bit of column B. Whaddaya got for me?
