White Court clothing [BG Spoilers]
Griffyn612:
There was a mention of some special clothing that Lara was wearing in Battle Ground. I think there was a previous mention of it in maybe Peace Talks, but was there another somewhere along the way? I meant to revisit it after the initial reading because it seemed like a known thing but I didn't remember it.
Edit: Here's the references towards the end of Battle Ground.
--- Quote ---A group of panicked, fleeing octokongs went by as Lara and her people came bounding out of the chaos, their flowing, shroudlike white robes stained in various shades of blood. None of them looked hurt, and I saw one take a panicked blow from an octokong’s emptied arquebus. The shroud material twitched and moved, gathering thickly beneath where the blow began to land, and the body beneath seemed to briefly lose mobility and stiffen as the arquebus struck—and rebounded, the shroud actively pushing the weapon away, as the White Court vampire wearing it dealt a pair of lethal blows and breezed on by in a little twirling dance step.

--- Quote ---Lara’s fighters sailed through the air with the greatest of ease, taking thirty-foot strides in great, leaping bounds, moving almost weightlessly, their shroud-armor fluttering and snapping.
--- End quote ---
--- Quote ---Ethniu batted Lara aside like a rag doll and rose—only to stumble, as Lara’s shroud-armor writhed off the vampire like a living thing, like some kind of bizarre invertebrate from the deep sea, and wrapped around the Titan’s knees, binding them together. Ethniu fell back down again and was forced to briefly struggle against the living cloth.

It seemed like something new to me. I don't recall it having shown up before ... though I could be mistaken...

Seeing it in combat seemed new to me, but I kind of almost recall something about clothes settling on or around her or another Wamp at some point.

Huh, the only other living clothes I remember are Sharkface's cloak.

It might not have been Dresden Files. I read some scifi stuff recently that had smart clothing that put itself on, so maybe I'm remembering that.
Still, it makes me wonder at the mechanism behind the Wamp's clothing. It's like it's enchanted in smart cloth that obeyed Lara's presumed mental command (attacking the enemy) even after being detached.
