Quarter Splat Fall Protection
Carl's fall-protection gear, which he possesses but pointedly declines to rely on.
Story so far
As Louis tells the crawlers to jump from the crippled Party Planner, Carl considers his fall protection: "I had my quarter splat fall protection, but I didn't trust it."
Rather than test it against a plunge through burning rock and smoke, he reads a scroll of Controlled Feather Fall instead. He still lands hard enough that Elle compares it to a comet strike.
Role
Carl's baseline fall mitigation, held in reserve and distrusted.
Relationships
Carl — Owns it but does not trust it.
Controlled Feather Fall — The scroll he used in its place.
