Press it?
Yes.
“Can’t hurt to take a peek.” — Una said and pushed the button.
The lid quickly folded, showing a glass cone containing a futuristic metal suit. At first, it seemed to belong to a future robotic soldier, but there were features, which made suit’s combat capability dubious. For example, its integrated boots resembled horse hooves. Even more strangely, so did the gloves. Moreover, the headpiece did not have any holes for the eyes. Una imagined this robot horse blindly rushing to the finish with a leather-clad jockey on top of it.
“Wouldn’t that be lovely to see in real life?” — said the voice in the girl’s head.
“Ah, you’re back. Just in time. I wanted to look for some more of these costumes, which I’m definitely not putting on. But you can admire them all you want.”
Una pressed the “REVEAL” button on another plastic lid. Under it, there was a huge petticoat dress, which would be a hit, would it be worn in the Victorian era. It had a built-in corset with ridiculously small waist (probably even smaller than the damned 18 inches), puffy shoulders and stiff sleeves, which actually ended in one another, effectively making the dress a straitjacket. The metal hoop skirt was much longer than the distance from Una’s waist to her feet, so there were special shoes to be worn with it. They were in poisonous green color and had an at least 10 inch platform, which would barely allow them to touch the floor under the skirt. Logically, without them the wearer’s legs would just hang helplessly.
“Looks like a great chance of being a talk at the highest of societies.”
“I absolutely agree!” — Una said, pressing the “HIDE” button, which appeared instead of the “REVEAL” one.
Next outfit was a full rubber suit labeled as “FLYSUIT”. There was a helium tank and a hose attached to it. Quite self-explanatory.
There were more plastic boxes and more plastic lids, but Una saw something more important behind them. A swimming pool went all the way to the end of the hall, replacing the white tiles. There were two doors on the other end of it. One said “0/3”, the other said “0/5”.
“Shit. SHIT! Can I go back? No, the door that led there also needs three devices... No point in going back...”
“It’s fitting time, my darling! Why don’t we take a look in the boxes?”
“Yeah. I’ll have to wear some of the ‘products’ again.”
Una opened the closest plastic box and peeked inside. It contained an unzipped rubber sleeping sack, a small pile of keys to something else and a black bracelet. She picked the last item up and examined it.
The item’s surface was made of smooth aluminum, but it felt like the insides of the 1 inch thick band contained heavier material. Six solid D-rings were sticking out of the bracelet for unknown purpose.
“Not too bad. What do you think?”
“A pair of handcuffs with this design would be perfect. This is... yes, only not too bad.”
Put it on?
