Lady Rani in Armor
Nov13
Well, this an unexpected road block...
Went to work on today's Ebin & May page... only to find I was out of paper. Doh! Totally my bad - I should have checked paper stocks earlier. Alas, because my van, Circie, is in the shop, I am unable to go over to my favorite paper store and get more until the weekend, when I'll have driving access to Ken.
So, um, filler. Yeah, filler.
>.<
Nice filler it is though, fits in as well with the direction that the story seems to be going….
Hope Circie’s shop trip is a minor one.
Circie’s in for two reasons – one is a minor tuneup which she is long overdue for. The other is a little more worrisome. Her steering is feeling very “sloppy”. Could just mean there’s a leek in the power steering fluid system. However, it could also mean issue with the steering column itself. I’ve actually driven a car with a cracked steering column before. Let’s just say I don’t want to repeat the experience. ^.^;
She looks hawt XD. Though I have to think a Helmet for her would be a design nightmare. Horns! oh lord.. Horns.
Mhhh I wonder what helmet would be fitting for Rani, maybe a modified Salet Helmet like King Sirius was using. Just with proper openings for her horns and a long face shield for her muzzle.
A practical design would be a two or three piece helm. The two piece would assume that the horns and thick skull top would protect against most blows to the top of the head allowing a helm that hinged in the back with latches on top and bottom of the muzzle. The upper edge could rise above the skull top with cutouts for the horns, sort of like a crown. The three part helm would eliminate the raised part of the two piece helm and replace it with another hinged piece that would cover the top of the skull between the horns. As a side benefit to either design, think how easy it would be to pour cooling water on her head without needing to remove all head protection.
Don’t look now, but I think Mr. Murphy has you in his sights. The number of things that have gone wrong for so many people I know of since the election makes me think he was kept suppressed during the campaign and is now releasing his pent up energy in a flood of mishaps.
