Rinka Smith shared a photo. 4/13/19 near Viea Village

'Liquid armor' the pick up ticket said. HOW IS THIS ARMOR? I think the worst thing is that I actually have memories where I wore this. In a fight. I mean. The gauntlets and boots that go with it are kind of badass. But the rest of this. Thanks past life. I hate it.

[There are just so many different ways Derek could have responded to this photo. So many. He finally decides on this:]

Well it's definitely not school appropriate. And it's not very useful in protecting from a frontal attack. Though frontal attacks will probably not be a problem since they will go right though you.

Are you sure she wore that?

[psykick]

[unless it's something living, but that's not something she feels needs to be mentioned]

It's not anywhere appropriate!

And yeah. I'm sure. I have three memories where I'm pretty sure I was wearing it.

[blondferret]

So, why did she have this anyway?

[psykick]

Well, I was fighting someone. An esper with some ridiculous teleporting abilities. This is how I ended up in Antarctica. This woman teleported me from Tokyo to the South Pole.

And having now tried to cut this stuff... it actually pretty tough. I'm not sure I want to fully test out its capabilities, but I wonder if it's some kind of kevlar.

[blondferret]

You were wearing that in Antarctica? Yeesh. Now you thinking at one point that you died there is more believable.

[psykick]

Yeah. I was definitely not dressed for Antarctica.

But sheesh. If this was just more COMPLETE I'd totally wear it. The material itself is amazing.

[blondferret]

Do you or any of your friends have any sewing skills? Perhaps you could alter it?

[psykick]

Uh, no. Not really. And even if I could alter it, I have no idea where I could get more material like this.

[blondferret]

Does it have to be the same material? You're just wanting to make it more appropriate. The protective part is already done... technically.

[psykick]

technically

i suppose i could wear something under it. or over it. or both.

[blondferret]

I would say under. Because whatever you put over it will be destroyed.

[Al has a minute to look at it, not quite believing what he is seeing and there are SOOO many bad responses in his head, thank goodness, the one that IMMEDIATELY goes out isn't the worst of them...

I am sorry in advanced]

How are you supposed to fight IN THAT?!

*Punch "fuck! A buckle came loose because the designer is into S&M shit and wanted everyone to know about it"

Please tell me the fight was over some stupid as hell commercial you were refusing to do.

[psykick]

[it's probably not any worse than the things that went through her own head]

I dunno. It seemed to hold together honestly?

And no. No commercials. It was a knockdown drag out with this really powerful teleporter. Which I lost btw. Ended up in Antarctica.

[flametheif40]

On a prayer that no one with anything sharp comes along?

You ended up in Antarctica...WEARING THAT?!

He couldn't have sent you to the Carribean where you wouldn't turn into a freaking smurf?

[psykick]

Actually... I'm starting to understand the 'liquid armor' part. I just tried to cut it with some scissors and it didn't work. It's really tough stuff.

And, yes, Antarctica. It was cold. Really, really cold.

She, actually. And no. I kicked her in the face, so she was probably not very happy with me. I'm still boggled by the fact she managed to teleport huge chunks of Tokyo halfway around the world.

[flametheif40]

Oh...at least it protects you from getting back stabbed, so, why is it called "liquid armor" cause, other then screaming S&M it looks solid to me.

Never been, but I'll take your word on it that it's cold.

Oh, yeah, I imagine she would be pissed after a kick to the face, did you get a good kick in?

WOOOO! WAIT, so, she didn't teleport just you but a chunk of tokyo there!?

Freak, that's some power there.

[psykick]

It's solid yes, but it's really flexible. I imagine one of the main obstacles where any armor is concerned is balancing the strength of the armor with how easily the wearer can move.

Kicked her in the face. I think I dislocated her jaw, but she just popped it back into place. After she punched me to the ground. And yeah, there were pieces of building and pavement all over. She was seriously OP.

[flametheif40]

Oh, so I guess that is the liquid part... I guess it's super comftrable, even though it doesn't look it?

Oh ouch...so, what animal got to her, a teleporting Rhino?

[psykick]

I haven't tried it on.

[nor is she sure she wants to]

Human, actually. The teleporter was a woman.

[flametheif40]

Don't blame you, can't really imagine wearing something like that on a daily basis.

You got yours through a fish that swam into you right? So, would she get hers through some animal too? Or is it only the fish that can do that?

[Although, a teleporting Rhino does sound freaking horrifying, minding your own buisness then BAM! Rhino chasing you all of a sudden.

Then Al cuses under his breath, he probably just jinxed himself and there might be some Rhino he would have to deal with and get trippy nightmares about THAT for a while.]

[psykick]

Pretty sure it's just the fish. I have a memory about a whole school of them flying through the skies over Tokyo. And this boy I remember mentioned a fish giving him his powers as well.

[lmao good going Al]

[motiv8]

Well

That sure is something I never wanted to consider you wearing ever

[HELPFUL!]

[psykick]

yeah

me either

I didn't even notice it un the memories until I got this. And then it was like HELLO.

[motiv8]

File that under terrible ways to remember things...

At least you got cool gauntlets and boots out of it, but. Yeah. Shove this in the back of the closet and wear it never

[psykick]

It is going in an old shoe box and will be buried as deep in my closet as I can manage. Which is pretty deep b/c I have a big closet.
