Depends

If it's "Drink this and you'll magically reduced to half you age", yeah, too unbelievable.

Meanwhile "Drink this everyday and you will live four times longer", is much more realistic and believable.

Eratas123 · 2012-04-02, 19:33

I meant more on at least looking younger. Tabane looks way too young.

ZeroXSEED · 2012-04-02, 19:37

Yeah, still apply.

Tabane could use anti-aging treatment for all we knew. Again, it does not magically turned younger, it keeps her aging process more slowly than it should be (and probably the reason she's still damn healthy in spite of lacking proper sleep for years).

Remember the idea of I.S. verse cosmetic? This "Fountain/medicine of Youth" apply to every organ and cell, not just your skin, and more potent in that.

Eratas123 · 2012-04-02, 19:40

To you, how old does Tabane look?

ZeroXSEED · 2012-04-02, 19:43

For me, she looks like anywhere between 16-20 (at least anime version). In ST she's noted to look like a college version of Houki.

Eratas123 · 2012-04-02, 19:44

Exactly. I wonder if all tech and not just IS tech actually improved in their time.

ZeroXSEED · 2012-04-02, 19:52

Well, they do have holographic and stuff, however, due to the required setting, most of it we saw are.

Frankly, I don't see any innovation in the waterpark, or really, anything else. Military hardware also don't develop that much, being consistently much weaker than I.S. (or at least Ichika claimed)

In ST, it's different. I.S. related technology applied to everything. That is, I.S. development, expensive as they be, able to sustain economy because the result of it's research, rather than the I.S. itself.

Eratas123 · 2012-04-02, 19:59

Uh....how exactly are you supposed to advance a water park? It's a park filled with water, that's good enough.

ZeroXSEED · 2012-04-02, 20:05

The attraction, how about transforming slide? floating craft? Seriously, stuff can advance as far as human think. Not even waterpark is safe.

Eratas123 · 2012-04-02, 20:11

@ Senpai - Can you uy cigarettes eve if you're under 18?

ZeroXSEED · 2012-04-02, 20:18

Nope, definitely not. Of course, there's always those irresponsible shop owner amongst dozen of more disciplined one.

Eratas123 · 2012-04-02, 20:22

Aren't there cig's in vending machines?

ZeroXSEED · 2012-04-02, 20:27

They require special card to use, and you need to be at least 20 to have that card

blitz1/2 · 2012-04-02, 20:33

@Zero: I read through Ran's monologue in ch12, I don't sense anything wrong. Unless you want me to add something.

ZeroXSEED · 2012-04-02, 20:39

I want her to be somewhat odd character, often awkward, confused, or misunderstood about the subject. She after all, is the only normal girl in our fanonverse, and like 90% women in the world, only saw I.S. as trend or something equivalent, instead of serious business.

She also confused and is in denial that Ichika is a closeted mild version of spirited competitor, indicated by his unsatisfied expression after steamrolling gamers around, as well as serenely beating the thugs with bored expression.

Eratas123 · 2012-04-02, 20:40

So an underage person smoking would get a huge reaction from most people?

ZeroXSEED · 2012-04-02, 20:46

Nope, they're always been associated with delinquent so most people will prefer to ignore them. On the other hand, people knowing the underage smoker will have a reaction, not a good one though.

Well, I wouldn't place her as completely normal and clueless, because remember, Ran is already taking steps into applying for IS academy, therefore she might have already started to read the IS manual/books.

Eratas123 · 2012-04-02, 20:54

@ Senpai - How would the cast react if they saw Ichika acting like a drunken dumbass?

ZeroXSEED · 2012-04-02, 20:55

@ Blitz
Yeah, I don't mean clueless, just not as good as most character. Still by this point, I.S. is only tool for her to be close with Ichika. She'll understand more over time.

Oh damn, I forgot the scene where she revealed her test rank result (it was during Iori's greetings, because she wasn't invited). Please add that.

@ Eras
"What the hell is that idiot thinking?!"

And if he got drunk, the first thing they knew is that he didn't do it willingly (either tricked or forced into it), seeing how much of bumbling dad he is when it comes to health-related stuff.
