You've gotta admit, it's pretty impractical.

[deus_ex_phs]

[Oh, you didn't.]

In what way?

[rattlingthestars]

You've got a heat-sink on your head.

Even with the insulation...

[deus_ex_phs]

But imagine if I'd been the one to go first when we ran into that ax trap downtown.

[rattlingthestars]

I'm afraid you're never going to let that go.

[deus_ex_phs]

Nope. Not when it proves that I have a good reason to keep my helmet on.

[rattlingthestars]

So why don't 1st class wear them? Zack doesn't, Sephiroth didn't. Do they just have harder heads?

[deus_ex_phs]

Because 1st Classes are overconfident idiots. They only think their heads are hard enough.

I mean, look at Zack.

[rattlingthestars]

Wow, feeling the love here.

What does that say if you get promoted...?

[deus_ex_phs]

He deserves it.

What does it say that I haven't been promoted, even though I'm older than Zack?

[rattlingthestars]

That you like having a helmet more than glory?

[deus_ex_phs]

Glory's overrated. I'd rather be alive and have my brains intact, and if you were smart, so would you.

[rattlingthestars]

How smart do you think i am?

[deus_ex_phs]

Usually I think you're pretty smart.

How smart do you think you are?

[rattlingthestars]

I think this place has made me smarter.

No promises if we get back home, though.

[deus_ex_phs]

Well, if you're that concerned, I'll make sure to get you a helmet, too, once we get out of here. Protect your brains from any damage they might take from whatever's in your universe.

[rattlingthestars]

Aw, mom, nobody looks cool wearing a helmet on a solar surfer.

[rattlingthestars]

Aw, mom, nobody looks cool wearing a helmet on a solar surfer.

[deus_ex_phs]

Would you rather look cool, or would you rather live to tell the tale of all your amazing stunts afterwards?

[If you're going to call him mom, he's going to mom at you, Jim.]

[rattlingthestars]

You probably don't want me to answer that.

[deus_ex_phs]

Smartass.

[rattlingthestars]

Always.
