Titbits

[Spawn Guy]

These are just a bunch of writing experiments I cooked up a while ago, just days in the turtleslives. I was trying something new here, which is why its pure dialouge. I've tried to make it clear how's speaking when but I'm going to play it safe and use colour tags anyway. Think of them as plays with out cues or prompts. For those of you who care, this is kind of how my dialouge into Ultimate TMNT will come out. Seemwhat you think. Had to split this in two because of the word limit.

“A car?”

“Come on Leo!”

“Don, it’s a car. What do we need a car for?”

“Other than a means of getting around the city? We can’t jump everywhere Leo.”

“Wanna bet?”

“Your impossible, you know that?”

“I’m not. I’m just thinking this through.”

“And you think I haven’t? Look, if this about the environment thing…”

“I knew you’d rub that in my face!”

“I’m not!”

“Just because I feel our lifestyle down there, while not perfect, could be used as an example to people dependant on dangerous fuels and waste producing technology…”

“Technology dosen’t produce waste.”

“You weren’t there when Mike had a video game marathon. Starting with the Genesis and moving on up. When did he get a Wii anyway?”

“When you weren’t looking?”

“What?”

“Nothing. Back on topic…”

“No.”

“Why not?”

“We’ve got the Battle shell.”

“An armoured car. Yeah, that’s real fun for the whole family.”

“What’s that supposed to mean?”

“Not everybody likes trucking on up to Northampton. The thing handles like a…well, an armoured car. Is it too much to ask for some creature comforts? ”

“Hey, we tried the seat warmer idea. You remember what happened?”

“Mistakes were made.”

“Exactly. The Battle shell is perfectly suited to getting us up there. It’s not like we drive anywhere else.”

“So isn’t that all the more reason to do so in comfort? I, for one, want to feel like a normal person when we all get together to do normal things.”

“Like drive up to farm houses.”

“Yes..”

“And not doing any actual farming.”

“What?”

“We don’t.”

“That’s not what we’re there for.”

“Well maybe it should be. Think of the exercise…”

“We do enough exercise.”

“Some people don’t.”

“I heard that!”

“Sorry…”

“What the hell is that supposed to mean?”

“Donny…”

“Don’t ‘Donny’ me! I think I know exactly what it means, Mr Perfect.”

“Hey now…”

“We got up at seven, just like you asked. Me, Raph and Mikey. For a four hour jog. Seven, Leo. Seven. Four. Hours.”

“Keep your voice down!”

“Like anyone hangs around the warehouse district at seven in the evening.”

“You’d be surprised.”

“Wh…actually…yes, I probably would…”

“Look I know it‘s rough, but Sensei wants us on our toes…”

“Which is why I think a car would help.”

“How?”

“It’s inconspicuous.”

“What?”

“We could black out the windows. Nobody would be able to see in.”

“Would we be able to see out?”

“Hey, we’re ninjas, right?”

“That’s not funny. And like I said, if you want to ride around in something, we have the Battle Shell.”

“Yeah, an armoured car. That’s totally inconspicuous. No one would ever notice that.”

“No one has so far.”

“That we know of.”
