A Futurepunk/Reignpunk draft
Conner inspects the suit of power armour, “So this has been retrofitted to fit me? Because I’m pretty sure I’m not the same height or build so I want to make sure I don’t look like a cosplaying kid” he looks over the bulky chest plate and pokes the 3D printed flexible parts on the inside.
Wendy gives a lazy grin in the corner, leaning on the wall, “Should do, I mean, I put your specs in the program and got those parts out, not like I can do any more than that, if it doesn’t fit then we gotta call someone in to fix it” her follow up shrug matches her casual, lazy leaning on the wall look she’s doing right now.
Conner shrugs himself and gets to putting the power armour on, the added parts on the inside making for a snug but not constricting, it takes awhile, like putting on a tight, inflexible pair of jeans for the first time. Soon enough he has everything on but the helmet, “Fit’s like a glove, the glove parts at least” he moves his limbs around, slow moving as the suit is very heavy and doesn’t yet have power for easy movement. He carefully puts the helmet on, giving it a twist to lock it in, causing the suit to automatically power up.
The HUD of the suit fills up Conner’s vision, text in green boxes is the design choice of the day, “Welcome to the Rainbow Stripes suit!” Displays in big letters, smaller text appears below “Created by Del, Georgia Colour, Alex, and Haloes Colour” After giving a few moments to read the text and probably load data, a red laser runs over his eye before a new box appears, “Scan complete, Conner Colour profile loaded from StripesNet” Conner waits until another box appears, this one seemed a lot bigger.
“Please read and agree to the following before use of Rainbow Bright power suit and RBAI interface.
I presume that if you need to wear this suit, this silly old world, the more it’s saved, the more it needs to be saved, like running in place.
I hope that Wendy or whoever is there in her stead has done her best without me.
All I ask for someone to use this suit, my only requests:
- Never be cruel or cowardly, face the challenges of your life in your stride
- No matter what, hate is for fools and love is smart, hate if you must but please try to love those around you
- Try to be nice and never fail to be kind, I’ve probably still got a reputation to uphold you know?
Never reveal your origin, unless to children, I doubt anyone would understand the origin of the person in the power armour, only children have the imagination and only if they want to. But nobody else.
Laugh bright, act before you think, and show a big heart.
To the inheritor of my suit and legacy, I wish you well, I really hope you can rock the world.
– Haloes `Rainbow Bright` Colour”
Below the text is an agree/disagree set of boxes, he reads through the text, taking it all on board before he selects agree and lets the suit continue to start up. Many boxes appear and disappear, showing the many functions starting and succeeding. After many many many boxes, a tiny figure suddenly appears right in front of his eyes, giving a wave,“What the hell?!” Conner quickly takes off the helmet, looking to Wendy,”I… I think there’s a fairy in the helmet” his tone was a mix of bewilderment and fear.
