Gotta ask because I wanted to find more sources on this than just what I've been fed. How have people gone about getting costumes for their whole, you know, work here? Any advice? Specialists that can be consulted?

I'm completely at a loss here except for comics from back home, and damn those costumes were not the greatest.

[atypical_echo]

Oh, you got some experience on that?

[torchbearer]

Sure. There are tons of heroes all around my world.

[atypical_echo]

Ah, someone with experience. That's helpful. You design your own costume?

[torchbearer]

Not mine.

[ lying! ]

But I've done cartoons.

[atypical_echo]

Done cartoons huh?

[That sounds... familiar.]

[torchbearer]

Cartoons, comics, etc.

[atypical_echo]

[Mark finally looks at the ID info on the responder and almost wants to laugh himself silly.]

You do a lot of character design?

[torchbearer]

In my free time. It's fun.

[atypical_echo]

I might take you up on it though. I guess I could send a picture that's just, like, everything neck down? Though I guess that's not really needed either.

[torchbearer]

I'll need some side shots and back shots too.

Why the sudden need for a costume?

[atypical_echo]

Alright. I can get those. I've got a friend that can help.

Only joined the guild recently and apparently no one directed me to costuming.

[torchbearer]

Fair enough.

But designing is half the work. Do you know what kind of material you want? Or would hold up to your powers? Though I guess if all else fails, go spandex.

[atypical_echo]

Not spandex, but it's sorta gotta be... generally durable. Something comfortable and not hard to get into. Probably fire proof but keep me warm at the same time. I don't know. It's complicated.

[torchbearer]

I don't know a lot of costumes that can do all of that.

[atypical_echo]

You're not wrong. Guess I'm difficult.

[torchbearer]

I wouldn't say difficult. You just might need to be realistic. Some people have powers that protect their costumes. You have anything like that?

[atypical_echo]

Not exactly? I guess sometimes yes?

[torchbearer]

Very convincing.

[atypical_echo]

Listen, my powers aren't consistent.

[torchbearer]

It must have some kind of rules though, right?

[atypical_echo]

It definitely does. It's sorta an environmental thing.

[torchbearer]

Okay. So what are the rules in a particular environment?

[atypical_echo]

Hold on. Let me DM you.

[And Kyle will receive a direct message, not from Echo, but from Mark.]

It really depends on the people I'm around.

[torchbearer]

I remember. You mentioned that.

How strong can it get? Is there a power drain?

[atypical_echo]

It can be pretty strong and I can probably lose control. And what do you mean by 'power drain'?
