I've been here for a little more than six months now. It feels like it's been longer.

I still

[He strikes the start of that thought out quickly, but doesn't bother making it unreadable.]

I found a helmet down in the Yard, in a rusty oven full of styrofoam pieces. I don't recognize it, but it's a fighter pilot's helmet. And one that's not in ( Read more... )

That sounds like a pretty neat helmet! What are you going to do with it once it's fixed up?

Heh. I do like the look of it.

Pilot's helmets aren't designed to take as much punishment as other helmets, but they're better than a bare head; plus, they come with visors to protect a pilot's eyes.

I have a pair of goggles that have worked fine with the griffins, but there's nothing quite like a helmet, I think.

Griffins? Aren't those from old stories?

That's not the first time I've heard that. But there are some here.

Look up when you're in the City Without Walls sometime and you're likely to see one. If not, the stable's on Melee Island

[Rogue Inkblot has found a Z5h-3 Series helmet. IT'S SUPER EFFECTIVE! *SHOT*]

That is quite some time to be here, though it's still a bit of an... accomplishment, due to how things go occasionally.

The helmet sounds antiquated. I'm not sure what paints work best on metal, but I'm sure someone in the bazaar does. What do you plan on keeping it for?

desig_survivor June 18 2010, 13:38:48 UTC

Yeah...

The weight's all wrong and it does seem... well, primitive, but I like the look of it. I've seen a few helmets here already, but none of them were designed for fighter pilots.

Doesn't look like it fits, anyway. It's either made for someone with a bigger head or it needs more padding.

Weight's wrong... the wrong kind of material, then? I suppose it would be quite heavy if it was made out of metal.

If you'd like to use it, perhaps there's a way to get it to fit you better- if you would want to put the time into it, of course.
