Experiments

[pikapikapikarin]

[What's Yayoi doing today? Currently she's unaware that her journal is filming this as she transforms off-screen. It's showing her bedroom as she's giggling to herself. Its experiment time!

Something had made her wonder about the doujins that she had read recently, how magical girls who transform could remove their uniforms. So, standing in front of the mirror as Cure Peace, she started to disrobe.

Or at least tried to. It was like everything was superglued on and she wrestled with her outfit for several minutes.]

Gah! Okay, lets try this then!

[Hopping on one foot, she tried to peel her boot off with no success.] C'mon, c'mon!

[After that she tried removing her top. And then her skirt. No dice. She even tried removing her hair accessories and letting her hair down. With a frustrated groan, she flopped backwards onto the bed.]

I give, I give! Clearly this is body-armor. Not clothing. No matter how nice of a uniform it feels.

[Breathing heavily, Cure Peace is just going to pout as she gathers a pillow in her hands.] Not fair. I was hoping I was able to remove my outfit so I could stealth around as Cure Peace, and not Yayoi...

Comments

... Why would you even want to do that in the first place? There's not reason to be Cure Peace if you're not fighting a monster.

[pikapikapikarin]

Curiosity. Half the fandom portrays our outfits as, uh, easily rippable.

Wait this was filming? Not again!

[iwontforgivethis]

Yeah. But the fandom is full of idiots who weren't paying attention.

[She obviously doesn't have to touch the filming comment]

[pikapikapikarin]

True enough. I just, well, you know no one has actually done an actual write-up on magical girl outfits. I'd love to find an actual write up on Precure outfits. I mean, look at us. Half the time our skin is exposed too, and we come out of it with barely any bruises.

I'm not a scientist but isn't that fascinating that we're basically protected from everything?

[iwontforgivethis]

Well... yes.

But after a while it's not really something I worry about, since I've yet to get the background on what makes any of it work.

[pikapikapikarin]

Why don't we ask Cure Flower? Tsubomi's Grandma I mean?

[Guess who was "eavesdropping" on Yuri's convo with Hibiki?]

[iwontforgivethis]

Maybe we should.

I mean, she is a scientist, after all.

[pikapikapikarin]

Yeah. I mean, she might know something we don't.

[iwontforgivethis]

... Though will she even remember that we're Precure. The community doesn't really like people who aren't part of it remembering stuff related to it that happened.

[sunbloom]

That would be far too convenient. It'd also probably make you tired, considering the energy to power your transformation has to come from somewhere.

...That, and the last thing we need is someone finding that clothing and doing something with it. That'll ruin everyone's day. It'd also confuse scientists for years to come.

[pikapikapikarin]

I suppose so. We're just slowly getting out of being able to use our attacks once a fight too.

... true. And I don't think anyone wants that.

[sunbloom]

Don't push yourself too hard, Yayoi. I know I'm a civilian, and so I'm not really in a position to lecture you, but a tired team is one that makes mistakes at critical moments.

I can only imagine the news. "Miracle material found, extremely resistant to damage; disappears after two days, researchers baffled." No, better it stays on you.

[pikapikapikarin]

I know, we haven't had an attack in a while to be honest. So I'm hoping we're not going to get lax.

Heh, I know. It would be funny but hey...

[sunbloom]

That's a good mindset. Be ready for anything. If there's one thing I'm learning, it's that bad guys don't wait for you to get your feet under you.

[She sighs.] Funny, maybe, but it'd be bad once someone linked it to a YouTube video of you. Then Cure Peace would become an international phenomenon as everyone tried to get your costume again.

[pikapikapikarin]

Yeah, it's pretty bad if they get the better of us anyhow.

Oogh, yeah you have a point. No one wants that. [Even if she knows she IS a international phenomenon in the Precure fandom...]

[icantbelievethis]

Yayoi!

[pikapikapikarin]

Sorry! I keep seem to be getting onto the community in embarrassing moments.

[fightbymoonlight]

...Yayoi-san, what are you even doing?

[pikapikapikarin]

Trying to see if my Cure uniform will come off. Nope.

[fightbymoonlight]

It would be fairly inconvenient if it were that easy. It is supposed to be fought in.

[pikapikapikarin]

I know, I just wanted to prove a theory. And it's like all glued on or something.

[fightbymoonlight]

That makes sense, though. It's not exactly real clothing - it's magical in nature. Have you ever even seen a tear in it?

[pikapikapikarin]

... no I have never seen a tear. Ever. Scuff marks maybe but never a tear.

[fightbymoonlight]

It may not look like it, but it's meant to protect you. That's why you can fight like you do without getting too hurt.

[pikapikapikarin]

That's true. It really does seem to be able to protect us really well too.
