Stone Cold Ken Masters! Oh, wait, that was in the MVFC. Actually, Dan
got to be champion there for a quite remarkably long time....
I was thinking that myself.
Pulling out his battle-worn, yet unbelievably sturdy, black trench-coat
>from his dresser, he put it on, along with his black dress shoes and
black fedora. His uniform completed, he beckoned across the room to his
suitcase, which telepathically heeded the wishes of its owner and
flew neatly into his outstretched hand.
Ah, yes. The Trench. Eric always did wonder where it ended up next....
Exactly. :)
...who's Eric?
Er... he was the marine in PoE. The burly one. He was a BESM character
from New Yniss Jihad with literally more armor and forcefield levels
than the planet. His protection came from a sentient piece of armor
known as the Trench. It could change its appearance at whim, and
selected its owners carefully... and it happened to choose Eric, for
some reason. It let him shrug off anti-tank rounds with impunity, and
was calculated to let him survive atmospheric re-entry unassisted, as
well as being perfect environmental protection to intense radiation,
heat, cold, etc. Usually it was 'just' a black trenchcoat.
He didn't have it in PoE. All he had there was resolve, and three
levels of superstrength.
As an aside, I happen to think that this world is awesome. I just like
the casual flying rowboats, etc.
...still not quite sure where I originally got this idea from. But hey,
people seem to like it. :)
It works. Kinda brings me to mind of the old guy with the flying junk
in the Fifth Element.
I sense Pereshte's lingering influence.
From in the future, even.
Boggle.
"Wait...where did THAT come from?"
I'm not clear on exactly what 'that' is... I'm guessing it's Akane's
new tennis partner.
Intentionally vague. Insert your own explanation here.
(or, it could be the first onset of Nabiki-II's yelling)
Now, that makes sense.
Pereshte watched them continue on their way in silence.
But the tea, Dannycat! The tea! What of the TEA?!
It was delicious! :)
EEP. O_O
