A/N: Inspired by one too many ads for fantasy mmos and a few Oblivion mods. And the ensuing dilemma of just how practical female armor is. I wanted to make a blatant Sorato joke, but decided not to.


Sora frowned as she looked at the various pictures for inspiration. "These were obviously designed by men."

Matt, staring over her shoulder, raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"

She pointed at the first picture. "This is not armor. This is a chainmail bikini." She pointed to the second. "This one's not nearly as bad, but it leaves the entire sternum bare. Maybe it's not such an issue for us since our fighting is pretty evasion based, but getting hit once would be fatal. And this," she pointed to the third, "The top isn't bad, but the bottom. The bottom! There is no bottom! It's a thong! Do you know how uncomfortable those things are? Not to mention fighting in them?"

Matt looked at her blankly. She sighed at him. "Of course you wouldn't. Probably a good thing too."

She turned back to the pictures, glaring at each one.

"Maybe you should try different sources for inspiration?" Matt suggested weakly. "I mean, a lot of games are aimed at guys, so half the time female armor and clothing looks pretty, uh..."

"Stripperiffic?"

They both looked down again.

"You could distract our enemies."

Sora raised an eyebrow at him. "More like distract all the guys on our team."

"... it might not be too bad outside of combat."

She rolled her eyes and lightly thwacked his head. "Man."
