I would love to see the reaction of the PRT in which there small chance of pr boost is already partnered with Apeiron
Edit: I can imagine at that point piggot pulling her hair

The reboot came out in 2005
Doctor Who is old. I think it started as a black and white TV show. Yup. Wikipedia shows it started in 1963. God that's a long running series. It's been rebooted several times. Kind of like Star Trek.
Im not sure if the ABB will attack Garment's meeting with the Protectorate tomorrow. On one hand it's a great target. On the other hand, the ABB need time to recover from the attack. Bakuda and Leet need time to tinker. They both spent most of their gear fighting Apeiron. It's a bit funny that both of them don't have reusable tech. It would be hilarious if they attack and Garment kicks their ass with her Tinkertech Ball Gown.
"Shit, Apeiron made us look like pussies. We need something to make us look good, look strong! Oh, I know, let's go bully a pair of floating gloves. That'll show everyone!"

I mean, we have no real indication on whether she did or didn't, just that Joe didn't notice it. It could be put away somewhere, it could have been in the bag under the old clothes, it could currently be compressed into a lozenge the size of one of those magic towels and hidden in her pocket. Joe wasn't looking at his funds at that moment, and the textile room can make a lot of stuff. So right now, Aisha's costume is sort of a quantum thing. It both exists and doesn't exist until we see her wearing it or asking for it.
All we know is that Joe didn't notice it being made. That could mean literally anything. It could be a neon pink chicken mascot outfit with bright green mono-molucular talons and a jetpack, waiting to be loaded into a rocket and launched from the Motoroid. Same odds as Garment not making one.
Costumes are out. Dresses are in. So hand waves Garment.
After this incident with Aisha, he should realize he is most vulnerable and unaware in his civilian gear, which is currently is just a shin guard under his pants and a mono-molecular pocket knife. With the 007 perk, he can craft himself some disguised civilian gear to protect himself at all times. I can't really think of any ideas that would particularly stand out as clever. He can hide armor plates inside a jacket, his shoes, and inside his belt. Keychain, glasses, a watch, cell phone, and anything else that is plausible to carry are more opportunities for hidden gear. He could upgrade that Ford Pinto into a James Bond car with an invisibility cloak. Maybe he can make it so it doesn't explode into flames if someone rear ends him.

Remember the Fashin perk (his first one). A single alloy plate is sufficient to protect him and his clothes.

@LordRoustabout Do the curtains mean TT's power doesn't work inside the workshop?

Seeing as Aisha's power continued to work, it evidently allows Shard abilities to continue functioning, but scuppers attempts to communicate data between host and shard.

Well... yes? And TT's power is entirely about communicating stuff, but Apeiron thinks visual links still carry through.
That's why I am asking.
Just reread this, and I can't believe I missed that this would look like Yang's attack from RWBY

Vista?
1. Make couple stone Orks (or hologram?)
2. Refuel the hammer
3. Place recording equipment and turn it on
4. Take The Rocket Hammer to Ork
5. Post recording to PHO
6. Profit:
- 'Verified' Tag
- PR +100
- RFH discussions for weeks!
- Uber&Leet Hate you and Worship you at the same time
- If everything else fails, hammer sales are going to be a hit.
Taking into account MC's physical changes that he needs to conceal, anything added under his closes going to be a lot more noticeable to people who know him.

Thank you for the Omake, threadmarked!
As for the existence of Doctor Who in this setting, the original series started in 1963, so everything is the same from 1963-1982. The 1982-1989 portions drifted due to parahuman influence on culture. Not sure if the 2005 revival happened yet, or what form it would have taken, but the police box would definitely be a recognized symbol of the show.
Because RWBY aura could allow the awakening of other people's auras I'm ruling that souls are a thing in Worm, at least in regards to the Celestial Forge. The threshold is anything complex enough that it could be imported in Jumpchain as a companion rather than a follower or pet has a soul. So Garment has a soul, as does Dragon and anything sufficiently commplex.
That said, while souls exist the afterlife is another matter. The only thing like an accessible afterlife is shardspace, with the copies of hosts kept by shards counting as souls. Everyone else is 'gone' when they die. Not getting into the theology of it, just not accessible (at least nor without something from the Forge that says otherwise). Because of the parahuman/magic equivalence powers like Butcher's, Glaistig Uaine's, and Moord Nag's can affect souls and be affected by Celestial Forge powers that affect souls.
I have no problem with irrelevant powers. In fact, the oddball perks are some of my favorite stuff in the Forge. I didn't remove Dwarf Fortress because it was sub-optimal, I removed it because I didn't understand it enough to describe it in the first person. There is a lot of stuff I have a passing understanding of, but I don't want to write about it from a wikipedia page. That has a different feel from understanding how the skill works, what it does, how it progresses, and having personal experience with using it. It's the same reason none of the World of Warcraft stuff is on the tables. I have a good understanding of mechanics and enough friends to talk me through it, but I want to properly understand it before it's included. I'm slowly adding more properties, and I might get enough of a handle on Dwarf Fortress eventually that I can put it into the rolls. Then Joe can wonder at sudden proficiency at Cheese Making arriving during PRT negotiations or whatever.
I had the idea that the gold wasn't pure (as it would be to soft and weak for that application), so your guess of "meta-material 10x better than silver that would degrade in seconds naturally if his powers weren't bullshit and just happens to look like gold" is pretty much spot on. The discussion with the duplicates was about the appearance of the interface chair, which would have been over the top due to the materials, but was taken to stupid degrees by design perks. The 'gold' was just connection material, with the diamond being the processing center.
This is getting into complicated shard dynamics, as in 'can a power function without information being provided to the shard?'. The curtain works similar to Mantellum's aura, but without the power blocking effect. I would say it was clear enough for the shards to drive their power, but through some 11 dimensional effects not clear enough to save or process the data. Bit of a cop out, but I'm falling back on 'Washu-tech' for the explanation.
Thank you, corrected. Don't know how I missed that typo.

Even if it's 'only' restricted to household solutions, I can't believe that's a 100 point item in the list. Seriously overpowered at the price.

If I were you I'd probably just limit most shards to the sensory input of their host. Taking a clairvoyant in is probably a bad idea, but most data is going to be limited to human senses, which are of limited use. Might depend on precise power mechanics and how 'local' the clairvoyance is too—I could see Skitter's senses working fine, but a Tinker's inspiration (without a scanner) might be closer to what they'd get from seeing a video of the tech instead of inspecting it personally.
Basically, my interpretation is that it would depend on how 'local' the shardstuff behind a sensory effect is to a Parahuman—someone like the Clairvoyant might have their power very much hampered, while Dauntless with a similarly scoped clairvoyant power might be completely unhindered because the shardstuff doing the scanning for him is tethered to his equipment, instead of just sharing his Shard's sense with him.

I understood the discussion topic, and am (as said) willing to buy techno babble excuse for it. I brought it up because the text only describes it as bog-standard gold, the only thing special about it being it was mass cheated into existence. No other power interactions were noted to take it from forth best normal tech option to nothing else being in consideration.
that curtain disagrees with you

He means the setting that the perk is originally from. In that setting, this is still entry-level nonsense.

Nothing Washu has ever done is entry-level. Even her mistakes are epic.
Just ask Ryoko.
