[TRANSCRIPT]
Forgotten Hollow, Villareal Townhomes
Akira: Hey. I gotta head out. Wake your dad up. Tell him to make you dinner.
Ly: Don't need to. Ordered pizza.
Akira: Wake him up anyway. He don't need to sleep this long. He might have a concussion.
Ly: He said werewolves don't get concussions. Or hangovers.
Akira: [sighs]
Laurel Library, Office of the Registrar
Akira: Hey, my name's Akira Kibo. I need to adjust my class schedule.
Registrar: Oh, I don’t see that name. Are you trying to register? If you want to apply to the university—
Akira: Check again. I think you see my name right there.
Registrar: Y-you're right. I can’t believe I missed it. What classes do you want to change?
Outside of Laurel Library
Akira: You can calm down, I’m enrolled. Been attending for three semesters already. Got a 3.2 GPA.
Jacques: Not a 4.0?
Akira: That seemed like overkill. Why are you here?
Jacques: I want you to be prepared.
Akira: I think I can handle looking after a bunch of baby witches and grad students.
Jacques: I’m sure you think you can, but two words, Akira: Julia Straud
Akira: We're in Britechester, not Henford. You think I want fuck all to do with that psycho family?
Jacques: Her son is in law school here.
Jacques: I want you to leave him alone.
Jacques: In fact, I want you to give him a very wide berth.
Akira (muttering under his breath): Yeah, pretty sure you don't need your help fending sims off. What is he?
Jacques: Nothing yet.
Akira: Whatever. I'm not a dummy. And don't think this means you can forget about your promise.
Jacques: Of course not. This job qualifies. The devil is only as good as his word, Akira. And I am very good.
Replica Donnie: Technodrome Sniper.
(More info under the cut:)
In his prime, Donnie was the only known fighter who could successfully hit an infant Technodrome while it was in low orbit (they actually don't come down to Earth normally except to attack). He had the firepower, the precision, but most importantly the mind needed to calculate exactly where they were going to be ten seconds in the future for his attacks to make contact. While he was never able to do enough serious damage to the mother Technodrome, he did manage to use this method to plant a tracker on it that still works to this day.
Finally have the time to put some of my concepts to paper. Really wanted to figure out where these boys were in the height of their power and how to make them even more powerful than the teens at the end of the series. Donnie makes a big show of using a shot put technique in Purple Jacket, so it feels only natural that he'd know how to javelin throw as well. Seems more up his alley if you ask me. I don't foresee this concept being used in any of the Replica flashbacks I have planned, so figured I would share for posterity. (NOTE: outfit not finalized yet)
