Well, maybe I'll check in on him some other time. It'll be easier now - Balthier got one of those illusion devices working! I've been using it to go out, it works remarkably well!
[literally the worst possible ghost you could get]
Not yet! My understanding is that they process them as a very large backpack, or maybe a mobility aid - nothing they would think about too closely either way. It just makes you unremarkable.
Possibly one of those large hiking ones. They don't retract that much.
One of many design decisions I would have made differently, if I'd known I'd end up using them like this. Forget daily use, they were never really even supposed to be taken outside of a controlled facility.

Of course he did, he always does! He's SPIDER-MAN, yo!! He's one of the best!
[ He's mentioned that his Spidey was roughly college-age, so yeah, he probably was struggling, but he must've gotten through it! ]

[But you know how he worries.]

ngl, after the masks at loki's party the idea of being unnoticeable is VERY appealing

[Granted there's a lot of things about his life pre-actuators that he misses a lot MORE, but that's been something that comes up an awful lot!]

[ And it'd make it a lot easier to fight crime without worrying about getting arrested for being Unaligned, but she's not gonna mention that part! ]

I could keep the actuators under a big coat all the time, but that's no way to live your life.
[And yeah, of course there's that too. But we don't gotta talk about it!]

How far do they retract? I know they've got some telescoping going on, but could you conceivably hide them under a backpack or something?
