Gremlin Resitas — "The Armor Gets a Name."
Gremlin looks at armor.
Armor looks back. (Not really, but Gremlin feels judged.)
Gremlin sighs.
“Alright. You live here now.”
Gremlin names the armor Steve. Because Steve looks like it has ruined weekends before.
Steve the Armor:
- doesn’t move
- doesn’t help
- is always in the way
- somehow survives everything
Gremlin trips on Steve.
“Classic Steve.”
Gremlin puts a sock on Steve’s helmet. This does nothing. But it feels right.
Gremlin tells Steve:
“You did good. You also suck.”
Steve accepts this.
Armor is no longer a problem. Armor is now a roommate.
Short stack. Named the threat. Power restored.
