It's just a courtesy call

[lostinshadows]

Who: Izuku, Lavi, Yoon, Scully, and You
When: July 6th
Where: The Far Shore
What: Lavi’s taken on a personalized mission. It’s time to research some acid-proof materials.



After receiving the request from Orihime, Lavi’s decided that there are some people he believed would be able to help him make this task just a little easier. So, it isn’t hard at all for him to send them a simple text:

Hope you guys aren’t busy, but I’m hoping you’d guys be able to help me out with researching for acid-proof materials.

[He rubs the back of his head, a bit sheepish.]

Right.

[There's a pause.]

What if it still manages to melt through?

[skepticstarbuck]

Then you might need to switch to more resistant materials. Or coat the whole thing in Teflon.

[She frowns thoughtfully.]

It really does depend on the acid. The trick is getting a material that's soft enough to make into clothing.

[lostinshadows]

[Lavi rubs the back of his neck.]

I'd try to get a sample of the acid if I could, but that's not something easy for me to do.

[His eye narrows in thought as he thinks about it.

What Scully told him before already sounds good, he just wonders if Orihime would be able to properly make clothing.]

Think it's capable by mixing magic and science together?

[skepticstarbuck]

It could be. I don't know anything about magic.

[Science, yes. Science she seems to be pretty comfortable with, but all of the less physical dimensions of an afterlife working for the gods? Not so much.

She figures she'll work it out in time, but as it is, she's barely comfortable with being able to cast borderlines. Anything beyond that she's content to leave to the experts.]

[lostinshadows]

[A thoughtful hum.]

Well, the fiber thing does seem to be useful. Suppose I'll just need to be able to find a way to explain it to Lady Orihime.

[Scully, Lavi would offer to train you on how to cast borderlines but it's usually a hit and miss with this guy.]

[skepticstarbuck]

Lady Orihime? You mean, the one the festival is about?

[The weaver? Scully's seen her around, but hasn't spoken with her directly yet. It's a bit of a surprise to hear someone talk so casually about handing materials over to her.]

... I'm sure she knows more about magic than I do, anyway.

[lostinshadows]

The one and the same.

[It's actually not a complicated story, but he doesn't want to relate it.

A nod.]

Mm, guess I should bring it up to her then to see what she thinks of it.

[skepticstarbuck]

[She looks a little dubious for another moment before smiling.]

Probably.

Do you need me to write down the fiber types? [Or will he remember them?]

[lostinshadows]

[Lavi has an eidetic memory, but he figures that it's better for Orihime to have something that she can use to look back over just in case.]

Can you write them down?

[skepticstarbuck]

I wouldn't have asked if I couldn't.

[She pulls out her notebook and scribbles briefly, checking her phone again and adding the manufacturers' websites in a footnote before she hands the scrap of paper over.]

Let me know if it works out.

[lostinshadows]

[He accepts the scrap of paper.]

I will. [A smile.] And thanks for helping me out.

[skepticstarbuck]

It's no problem.

[She tucks the notebook back into her pocket, smiles back at Lavi, and turns to go.]
