The armor I made? All about the fast movement. Plasteel reinforced with impact and energy protections.

[Though monsters? That's interesting.] I take it they're not the cute little monsters like they got here? The Titans I know are just a fighting class. Usually big broad folks. I knew one on the smaller side. She was uh...

[And there, there's the slightest break in his easy-going showman facade.] She was somethin'. [Before she became a doll for the Nine to just puppet around. Some marionette. The bastards.] Well, anyway, a good portion of 'em are bull-headed and stubborn.

Not a bad plan though, sister? Now I got it in my mind. I bet I could set somethin' up eventually. Being able to equip armor with potions? That'd be easy. [He flips the coin idly.]

[lyingheart]

Plasteel?

[ What in the worlds is that? Colour her just interested enough to show curiosity for a heartbeat, which in turn becomes a more considering look. ]

... She must have been. Size is one skill any fighter has. Doesn't mean it's used in the ways people expect.

[ Which is a nod to a mysterious woman who Annie will never meet: being smaller does not dictate one's abilities. Simply things like one's reach and weight. ]

Mm. Could be worth advertising near Victory Road, or see about using the PokeCenter boards in the same way. If you get around to it. [ She lifts her shoulders in a slight shrug. ] Same with the fighting with or against Pokemon. It's a smaller market, but still marketable.

[ If contests are marketable here, then things like that should be, too. ]

[be_notorious]

[He knows he can't say the parts of Orin that went very wrong, but there was a lot to her that was right before she became a damn dress up doll for the Nine and after she learned what kind of man Drifter was.] That woman was spunky, too. Had a heart a little too big for her chest and a sense of curiosity that mighta stretched to the stars. Generally good company, those are. Never want for a conversation because they always have a story, and if you need some quiet they know how to be alone together with somebody.

And plasteel a material light as plastic, strong as steel. Or stronger. You can use it in plates or you can weave it into fabric. I tend to use plated on Titans and woven on Warlocks and Hunters. They gotta be more mobile. Not so good at just standing there and being a sponge for damage.

[Titans must be a strange thing for her to keep hearing in that context, if they're monsters in her world.]

I do think I'll look into that, though, Sister. I was thinkin' the gyms seemed a bit run of the mill and people might wanna switch it up.

[lyingheart]

... Too much past tense involved with all of that. My condolences.

[ Annie's known people like that, and watched people like that die, or change to become something different than what they used to be. She sounds like she was this guy's friend, and as someone who has watched friendships and seen the good and ill that can come tied up in them... someone who hadn't wanted friends, for a myriad of reasons that boiled down to being afraid because she couldn't distance herself from caring like she'd been trained, like she was supposed to...

She doesn't understand. But she acknowledges it. ]

What kind of fighting are these classes handling? Military? Mercenary? Competitive?

[ Strange as it is to be thinking of only a class of fighters called Titans who were not, in any way, the Titan Warriors she knew. ]

It's Annie. Not sister. And send me a message if you ever do. Sounds more like what I'd be interested in than what runs as "outside the box" in most places.

[be_notorious]

She seemed pretty content last I saw her. Sometimes a body's just gotta go do their own thing.

[The part of the story he holds onto is that he is the one that caused all that bad to happen to her, but that's never a part of a story anyone shares out the floodgate. Pretend to be someone you're not and someone else might take it real hard.]

[That competitive talk? Always the better thing to key in on.]

All of the above, military, mercenary, competition. [It's bloodsport really, as far as he's concerned. Anyone that thinks otherwise is deluded.]. The 'Last City' has this thing called the Vanguard. A buncha idealists, a good apocalypse tends to leave a few of those scattered around. But they pay good, and they pay these fighters to go out and do bounties for 'em. So I thought, you know? I want in. Came by, started running bounties of my own so I could get some supplies. Team based competitive.

I think this place has a great set up already for some team based competitive. Just gotta figure out how to cook that up. There many arenas where you can go against other trainers in multiples?

[lyingheart]

[ Unaccountably, his wording gives her a flashed impression of various Titan forms, the differences between each manifestation present, and unpredictable. She shrugs the thought off, making a small sound of acknowledgement yet again. ]

An apocalypse? Huh.

[ That's horrifying, also entirely believable. Both the apocalypse and the idealists. Every world is rife with at least those. ]

Seems bloody, and practical. Makes me wonder how long the teams last.

Mm... there are some, and I've head of private fighting... clubs, for lack of a better word. They do things like that.
