But wouldnât it be even more pointless if you followed his advice halfway, by actually making the armor, and then just abandon it somewhere? That way, heâs wasting his time, and your own! Thatâs, like, pointlessness by proxy!
...And besides. You kinda used up all your cardboard already.
Yeah, Iâm not entirely sure why you would want that, either.

You head out, looking around pensively. Hmm⦠Aha! Inspiration strikes.
You run toward Cool Shit Alley. You head towards the oldest adventures, a few of which are boarded up and closed. After prying away some of the cheap plywood, a careful, precise application of Your Mitts causes a window to crash inward, and after that itâs fairly easy to enter. You snoop around, and after a few different buildings, hit paydirt. Itâs a well known fact that different adventures have different styles, and youâve finally managed to find one that looks like an actual theater, with a stage and props and everything. Props which have been packed⦠into cardboard boxes! With exacting care and a gentle touch, you scatter the props all hell to breakfast, emptying and then flattening out the Cardboard Boxes, to stow them away into your Gallifreyan Satchel. You leave the props, in case anybody decides to revive these grand old shows. A few more acts of vandalism, followed by breaking and entering, and you have all of the cardboard you need to make some fine armor. Some damn fine useless armor.
All this work seems to have strengthened you up a bit.
Youâd better find some spikes pretty quick, though, because your Gallifreyan Satchel doesnât have an infinite capacity. All that cardboard fits, but things are beginning to get a bit cramped in there. Hmm⦠spikes spikes spikesâ¦
Where the hell are you going to find spikes? Well, worry about that later. You head home, and quicky assemble your cardboard into a suit of armor, using up some more of your Duct Tape. You examine your Worthless Cardboard Armor with a very small measure of pride. It actually looks like you could wear it without it falling apart within minutes. It would be far from comfortable though, and it still needs some spikes (or some sort of spike substitute) before itâs done and you can abandon it by a dumpster somewhere.
Or you could abandon this whole project and go do something else. That would render this all pretty pointless too.
