Twitchy

I don’t really know what to say. I’ve never had a dragon like you before. Hello?

Heya! Mah'’ name’s Twitch, at least that’s what mah' family likes ta’ call me’!

13: Wow. That’s a lot of color. Is that normal?

Ah’ have no idea! Mom said it happens when ah’ get all excited. Why d’ya ask? Is it bothrin’ ya’?

13: No, I think it looks fine. But others might not like it. It’s very bright. Maybe you could try to change it? Attempt to calm down, maybe that will help.

Sorry! Ahm’ jus’ so happy ta’ be here! Let me try— Is this better?

13: Yes, it is. Thank you. It’s still a bit bright, but not entirely unreadable. So why do they call you “Twitch”?

Ya’ guess is as good as mahn’! Mom says it’s ‘cause ahm’ “spor-aaah-dic”, wh’ever that means.

13: Interesting. I’ll have to keep an eye on you.

Thanks ya’ kindly, ahd’ love ta’ have someone ta’ talk ta’!




Wake up wake up! Wake up wake up! Wake up wake up!

13: I think you just about gave me a heart attack. Are you aware of what time it is.

Yeahp’! 3:00 AM, on th’ dot! Now we can hang out tageth’r!

13: Twitchy. Why am I here. Why did you hack my alarm clock.

I thoughtcha’ was ignorin’ me! Ah’ didn’t wanna be lonely! I though’ dat’, since ya’ always so busy with classes, if I tried ta’ talk ta’ ya’ when ya’ didn’t have any classes then ya’ would pay attention ta’ me!

13: Why am I here during rollover? How is that even possible?

It’s pretty easy really! Ya’ can’t talk ta’ th’ otha’ dragons, or with otha’ people, so now ya’ can only pay attention to me!

13: Why are you so fixated on talking with me? Don’t you have other ways to keep yourself entertained?

Ahv’ tried, ah’ promise! But it’s hard, ya’ know? Ah’ trah’ ta’ do all these things ta’ keep mahself enta’tained, but it don’t work! Ah’ can’t pay attention. Ah’ jus’, I swear I try everythin’ I can, but nothin” works. But ah’ can concentrate when ah’ talk ta’ ya’, always!

13: Twitchy. It’s three in the morning. I don’t know how it works for you sentient dragons, but us humans need our sleep.

But, but, don'tcha' wanna hang out?

13: Twitchy, I promise I do. But I don't exactly like it when you wake me up.

Ah, ahhh... Ahm' sorry, I thought it was a good idea...

13: I forgive you. No need to get all droopy on me. Just please don't do it again. How about we change the subject -- your text color changed. And now it has a spoiler. Why is that?

Ah? Mah' color changed? Yeah, ah' guess it did. Well, it does that wheneva' mah' emotion changes alot! Green is happy, blue is sad, an' purple is fear. There are otha' colors fa' otha' emotions, but those is the main ones. That's why all of em' are in my speech when ahm' all excited! Ah' can't think straight! As for th' spoiler, ya' said the' my text was hard ta' read, so ah' wanted ta' make it easier for ya'!

13: Oh. Well, thank you for that. Are we good?

Yeah haha, we are! Ah' promise I won't wake ya' again unless it's really important.

13: Thank you. And I promise to spend more time with you from now on.




You're not Diamond.

You mean BlackDiamond13? We just call him 13 around here.

Well I call him Diamond. And you're not him.

I know that you must be very confused. But, 13 trusted me to take care of you. He wants you to be happy, since he can't spend a lot of time with you. Or, at the very least, he wants you to be with your family.

I don't care about any of them! I want Diamond!

I'm sorry. That's not possible.

It's-- that's not-- why does everything have to be so unfair?
