Uncle Rex is not amused.
Destruction?
Ooooh… Trixy’s a flirt. And Rex has a bad opinion of the bats. I already feel bad for the poor girl.
i don´t think he has a bad opinion of bats – aside from a slight grudge at charon for whatever caused the gym destruction – but he doesn´t seem to have an interest either…though i don´t think thats because he has something against trix, i think its more that he´s so focused on his sport that he has no time or interest in romance at all right now
Or maybe he’s just more interested in her cousin, who already plays basketball?
“It’s not just Charon Rex has to watch out for.”
Trixy likes Rex a lot, doesn’t she… I had a feeling Charon drained the basketball club’s budget by destroying something, did he set the gym on fire as well? Unfortunately for Rex, he got spotted a lot faster than he had probably hoped, it seems Bat hearing isn’t the only sense Charon received from being a Bat Hybrid! Now he has to deal with his sitcom arch nemeses, the cousins of his vitriolic best friend, Nate! Meanwhile, Kai is visible in the background taking and making orders while his enormous ears pick up the conversation, he’s probably gonna confront Nate about what he and his cousins were discussing with or without “grilling*” Rex for what wolfie knows.
*Grilling may or may not utilize actual grilling and/or fire.
So Trixie has her eyes on Rex? Can’t say she has bad taste. I was down for Kaya and Rex but honestly they are all too young for anything serious. Still Trixie could be a good running gag.
I joked about Kaya & Rex too a while back during the museum arc, that she might be interested in him once she’s a little older. Right now though it doesn’t seem Kaya is interested in dating anyone, just hanging out and having fun with her friends.
Yeah, Kaya’s a century* too young to be ready for a relationship like that, both physically and emotionally. Kai too, to a lesser degree, maybe 80 years too young in his case.
Kaya: “Hey! I totally am ready for a relationship, you big dumb, stupid, doodoo head!” *Kaya blows a loud raspberry*
…
My point exactly…
*Dragons in myth and folklore are long lived similar to real world reptiles, especially Turtles and other Testudines, said to live for several centuries. If Dragon Hybrids are anything more like their nonhuman half, they may also share longevity and a delayed aging factor, meaning it may take a few more decades for the Twin Dragons Kai and Kaya Romero to finish puberty.
There is a potential dynamic between Kaya and Rex though. They have more in common than you would think just looking at them. If Rex loosened up they could have a great friendship at the very least.
From earlier chapters, there might be another dynamic between Kai and Cleo, and probably one with some depth…it’s visible enough to be there, but it’s not so forced. Potential for development, and a bit of role reversal…the stereotype is that the brother is usually protective of the sister when the sister is dating. Now imagine Kaya going “we may be besties but I still have my eye on you” with Cleo.
Both Cleo and Kaya have developed mammary tissue, so these ladies are showing visible signs of human adolescence and well past puberty.
… as well as visible signs they are more human than reptiles.
Pity, though. Not sure about myths, but for Dragons in fantasy, millennium is no age.
Into puberty, not past puberty. I’d like to think my high school would be very different if simply having developed mammary tissue indicated they were past puberty.
That said, there are times when I wonder if my brother ever got past puberty. He’s 52, but he really doesn’t act it. So maybe things wouldn’t have been that different if the girls with some developed mammary tissue had all been past puberty.
Y’know, this was not what I meant.
We’ve known that hybrids are human-based. They’re all mammalian, but they express different traits because of hybrid gene expression…or whatever’s expressing those traits. If we drew blood on any of them and did a karyotype, we’d see 46 chromosomes (23 pairs), just like any other human.
Also, something worth noting is penetrance…the amount to which a genetic trait is expressed. Rex, Kai and Kaya are as close to full-penetrance hybrid as Robin is going. Cleo has partial penetrance…she has the tail, the scaliness, but her facial structure is very much human. Jin’s trait expression is on the extremities, with some alteration of the skull (same brain volume but the auditory structures are set higher). And here’s a possibility…Katsumi is very real, and possibly Jin’s twin sister, but she’s not in Jin’s universe. (And then we go into the quantum physics from Crichton’s “Timeline,” and heads go explodie…)
As far as the bat brats go, the ptagia (the skin flap under the arms extending towards the hand) is also likely partial penetrance…if we got a closer look at the hands we might see some webbing.
There was a story where a pair of young princes were born on Feb 29. Court witch cast a spell, not they age a year every four years. They are having an extended childhood.
Name on tip of tongue, could identify with some work.
Trixy is after Rex eh? Well they are at that age so shouldn’t be too surprised. And a clue to what Charon did, guess he really got into the game last time! Maybe he tried combining his love of skateboarding with basketball and the results were….. less than ideal for the gym!
Trixie has a crush for Rex , or just be a wolf lover ?
Half destroy a gymnase court !! 0_o ….. I want to see how they’ve done it ^_^”
*Flashback to the day of the “incident,” Rex stares in horror at the destruction caused by Charon.*
Rex: *His agape mouth closes into a scowl* “CHARON! You little… Twerp! I’m gonna smack your bratty butt so hard-”
*Thnk!Thnkthnkthnkthnkthnk! Thnk! Thnk!** *Six scorecards outline Rex against the wall, stabbing into it. A seventh card impales the wall by his head and an eighth impales the lower crotch of Rex’s shorts, missing his groin by a centimeter. Rex pales after the last two.*
Rex: *Struggling to will his tail not to tuck between his legs, his bladder not to relieve itself, and his voice to stay at it’s normal pitch, yet his voice comes out at least an octave higher out of fear.* “I will smack your bratty butt later…”
***Later***
*Rex runs around the gym with his butt on fire from the destruction before stopping, dropping, and rolling on the ground as fast as he can, while Nate tries to stomp out the fire while Trixy runs over with a bucket of water.*
Charon made a bad impression?
He doesn’t seem quite the sort(!)
Of course, I’m not the person who
had to fix up the damaged court.
Rex is the Wolf of Trixies eye
whilst Jenny feigns disinterest.
They’re all happy to see their guy
Even if he thinks one a pest.
Where’s Nate going with that ol’ jar?
Hopefully to tip it away.
Whilst we watch the teams unite
and, maybe, Jin and Charon play?
Jin and Charon playing together? Sounds like an odd pairing, but an adorable friendship nonetheless! Jin could use more friends, but he should invest his allowance in a pair of Hybrid grade ear plugs so his adorable, fluffy puppy-cub ears don’t get hurt too much by the high pitched noises his friends make.
The girls at least. 🙂
Charon: “I’ll only use half of the explosives this time, I promise!”
How do you destroy a gym playing basketball?
Charon: “…How much do you want to know?”
Trixy: (laughs)
Rex: “Oh, if you find that funny, maybe you’d be willing to recoup my losses on your brother’s behalf?” (shoves a bill at Trixy)
Trixy: “Hey!” (checks the bill; to Charon) “How do you destroy a helicopter playing basketball?
Charon: “…You make it crash into the gym.”
Either broke a gym window or broke the hoop/backboard with a slam dunk and held on. Then again other school gym equipment might have been involved. Might have felt the need to jump of something to get the height to dunk. Lots of options.
“BOOMshakalaka!”
“Next time, *my* way.”
Kind of a shame we never see them again….
Trigger fire suppression systems resulting in everything getting soaked in fire-retardant chemicals and therefor ruined with expensive clean-up efforts.
Daniel here. A possibility, would cause enough damage to the finances of a sports team for them to feel it. And if that was the infamous “Noodle Incident”…
Charon starts cooking some noodles, gets distracted by playing basketball. Charon sends the ball flying somehow, knocks over the setup boiling the water and noodles, starts a fire which sets off fire suppression systems, fire is put out but much of the basketball courts are collateral damage…
Panel 5: There should be a comma at the end of “Hello”.
Not required. He’s only separating their names. There’s no pursue between ‘hello’ and the first name so no comma needed.
* pause. Drafted autocorrect.
Hahahaha…. Oh, gawd..
To be fair, ‘drafted’ comes across like a sports pun.
Called it.
I like Trixy and Jen’s expressions in this, and Rex’s in response. 🙂
Things like “My dude” always give me a borderline twinge. I’m old enough to remember when “My man” would have been considered at least somewhat condescending, not the friendly greeting it appears to be today.
Yeah I can’t help but that whole part of the gym thing. I guess Charron named after the person who pilot Souls Across the River Styx is a hakaioshin in training
@Jesse: I would expect dress worth a princess. On the other hand, those might be hard to dance in. And she don’t have that much experience in materializing things yet …
Alright, I’m curious. Could be a broken backboard, that seems to be fairly easy to do.
A broken backboard would hardly qualify as a “half-destroyed” gym.
It would if the gym only has two backboards!
My high school’s gym only had two backboards, and there was a period where one of them was broken. No one described the gym as “half-destroyed”, not even the basketball players. If you’re describing the gym as “half-destroyed”, we’re talking either torn-up flooring or a huge difficult-to-dispose-of mess from the gym being used for a non-sporting event (because the gym was the biggest room in the school and thus the go-to destination for something like that).
Your school didn’t teach fractions?
Re:Gluten-Free Piledriver – The gymnasium at my high school consisted* of one floor, four walls, a ceiling, lighting fixtures, two basketball hoops, a speaker system and connected control box, a seating area, two game clocks, and a scoreboard. One backboard – a sheet of material connected to a basketball hoop – does not constitute 1/2 of a gym, thus breaking one does constitute a half-destroyed gym.
*I mean, it still consists as such, last time I checked, but I haven’t been in the school since my brother’s graduation so it’s possible they’ve done renovations since then.
I know I said this already on the Discord Server, but I WAS BLOODY RIGHT ABOUT PROPERTY DAMAGE!!!
HAlf destroyed the gym you say? I am now more curious know to know the details of this ‘noodle incident’. Also, who wouldn’t want to see bat-wolf?
I just want to know if the noodles were gluten-free. 😉
A bat-wolf… now I wonder how their hybrid treats are carried on to their own children, far as we know in the univers the series take place in the oldest hybrids are around 16(yes?). So chances of seeing a child 2 hybrids or even a hybrid and normal human is very low at this point in time.
Also, if it possible for hybrids to get mixed hybrid kids. Wonder if the naming of would be like real world hybrids, first half of the name is the father and second is the mother. Like say Wolf dad, mom bat… would that be a Woat or a Wot? :p I’m am being very silly right now ^^
