Nigkala Tales Pt. 19: Automatic Clothing

What mischief can I get up to now?

Thanks to my editor kenjisato. Also, to LanguageTool. Combined, they put me right. Any problems left all belong to me.

I came home and had a message on my voicemail. I didn't recognize the number, but the ID indicated it was the marketing department of Red Horizons. While I am unlikely to buy anything they sell, they might be calling about a marketing gig. When I listened, I was right. However, the marketing gig was bigger than I thought. They wanted me to show off their nanotech clothing. They left a number, so I called.

"Hello, Sales Logistics, Mark Welling speaking. How can I help you?"

"This is Becky Sue Tate, returning Sally Nazer's call. She called about hiring me."

"Oh yes, she's been expecting your call. Unfortunately, she has left for the day."

"Can you have her call me tonight? I have a movie script to study for shooting next month. We have daily meetings, so I don't know when you can get me during the day."

"I will send her a message."

"Thank you."

I wondered who this Sally was. I don't recall ever hearing of a Sales Logistics group at Red Horizons. A quick search on the internet didn't turn up anything on the department, and little on her, as there were over a dozen listed and none mentioned the company.

I got my dinner, and halfway through, I got a call.

"Hello."

"Hi, is this Becky Sue? This is Sally from Red Horizons."

"Hi there, this is Becky Sue. Glad we connected. What's up?"

"Product development has requested we generate some commercials, and get some in-person publicity on the prototype clothing you worked on. You were specifically recommended."

"I am very interested. What kind of timeframe are we talking about?"

"For the commercials, a few days should suffice. The publicity, however, would need a publicity tour, and could take several months."

"I might be able to get a few days in, but I am shooting a film soon, and that will take several weeks."

"I see. I'll have to check if we can delay for that, but I'm not sure if I can clear it."

"Wait a moment. The film is a fantasy, with magic, and I am playing an oversexed witch. Having a wardrobe that changes on screen could work well. Can you send someone down here? I can introduce them. If you send something for me to model, I think I could likely ensure the 'sale'. Also, we might be able to shoot a commercial Saturday to demonstrate it."

"That sounds interesting. I will see what I can do."

After she hung up, I sent a text to the producer saying I might have lined up a product placement that he would probably like to use, and he should call. I nearly finished dinner when he called.

"Helen, my gal, what have you got up your skirt?"

"Nothing, of course. I did some work for Red Horizons on some unique clothing. It changes shape and color according to what the wearer wants. They want to promo it. I thought if my wardrobe were to be seen changing on camera, it would make my witch, Elvira, seem even more magical. In the club scene, I could be dressed for one kind of club, but after I get in, my outfit could morph into one more suited to it. Also, I am pretty sure I could make it reveal my vagina when Big Tim pushes me against the wall. Think you could use something like that?"

"Wow! That could be hot! Think it can deliver?"

"I left when they got the main bugs worked out. And that version could do something like that. They have been working on it for nearly two more years. I am sure they have a much better version now."

"Sounds interesting. How soon can I see it?"

"I am hoping they can be here Saturday. Even better, if they show up Friday night, so I can practice."

"Okay. Let me know what happens."

"I shall."

Thursday night, I got a call from Tex.

"Hello, Becky Sue. I just got some good news. I get to be the technical rep for your little demo Saturday."

"Hey great. What's your plans?"

"I'm getting a red-eye, and will be there in the morning with the equipment. I have some photos to practice on."

"Great. Don't bother with a hotel; you can stay at my place, as we have several guest rooms and a great chef."

"Ooh! That sounds great. See you soon." I texted Filipe to let him know Tex would be staying here for a few days.

I'm not sure if he intended it, but I heard his taxi pull up as I was getting out of bed. I opened the door just before he was about to buzz the doorbell. He did a double take at my opening the door in the nude, but I just said, come on in. He pulled a hand-truck with his equipment, and carried a large suitcase with his clothes. I took the latter for him, and led him to the elevator.

"Here is your room. It has attached facilities. I'm going swimming for an hour, then breakfast. The coffee will be ready, and I'll make breakfast for us both."

"I thought you said you had a cook?"

"I do. She does lunch and dinner. She also does the shopping, so there is plenty of good stuff to eat, even some leftovers if you want. If you fall asleep, I'll wake you up then. Now to my swim." I left and headed downstairs by the stairway, then out back.

Tex had showered and changed by the time he followed the smell of the coffee. "How come are you wearing an apron?"

I smiled and said, "Bacon grease splatter."

"Oh! That could hurt."

"How do you want your eggs?"

"Over easy."

We were quiet for a bit, and then I came over laden with food. We each served ourselves from the pile of eggs, bacon, toast, corn muffins, orange juice, and grapefruit.

When we finished, I stood and said, "Well, I am ready to try on the new outfit. Shall we?"

We headed to his room. "Do you have an open space we can work in?"

"Sure, the gym will do." I then led him back to the elevator.

"This place is huge! Is it bigger than the house?"

"It extends below the back patio. There's plenty of room on the mat over there."

He parked the hand truck just off the mat. The first box held a thin belt with a large matte-green box on it. "Put that on first. It's the power and nanotech brain." He then pulled out a pair of long-toothed, metal combs. They did not have any handles. They were the same green color. "These are the receivers, and the teeth are the antennas for the neural net. Place them, so their teeth face out along your scalp at the top of your head. No, a little bit forward. Yeah, that's it."

"They're not connected?"

"That's okay. The nanotech sends up a hard line that splits and connects to them both. Now for the block." He handed me a simple remote. "Don't use this yet." He removed the top box and opened the lower one, revealing a large block. "I charged it up first thing. Is there a plug about? It's a power hog." I pointed to a nearby outlet in the floor. "Oh! I didn't see that." He plugged the box in. "This box has a directional antenna that tracks the belt for remote power. Very short range, but it solves the power problem. Don't worry; it's safe, even cleared by the FDA. But it works best if it has line of sight, and you don't move the block too fast. Otherwise, it has to hunt for the block, and it loses efficiency."

"Okay you're ready. Stand facing away from the box; and with the remote push 'command' then 'apply'. You can turn your head to watch."

I did as instructed, and looked over my shoulder as I hit the buttons. Suddenly, the large block in the box began to melt, and a stream headed directly for me. When my feet were surrounded, in a puddle about two feet in diameter, the puddle contracted and started climbing me. Tex described the process.

"The belt sends out a beacon the nanites home in on. First they get under it, and then they determine where the feet are and climb the legs. They are even smart enough to get under the feet."

"I noticed."

"They don't try to get under them all at once, but a little bit at a time. That uses the malleability of the flesh to push totally under you, while supporting you with the part not being pushed on. Now they cover your sex, and determine you need the female setting. When it gets to your breasts, it knows how to cover them, so your nipples don't show, unless you use a setting that allows it. The second pair are treated the same. We even tried it on a dummy with four pairs, and it handled it fine. Now it has detected your arms, and is seeking your neck. Found it. That tickle you feel is the thin line heading up to your pair of combs. Ah! Finally. That beep you heard was the remote acknowledging the nanotech unit is ready. Go ahead and walk about a bit and let me know when you are ready."

I handed the remote back, and then walked about the mat a bit, did a standing split, a headstand, and then walked back. "Ready."

Returning the remote, he said, "Push 'command' then 'learn'. Follow the on-screen instructions."

I did, and the instructions had me imagine various shapes, and then push a 'focused' button to record my mental activity when I was focused on that shape. After about twenty or thirty of these, it had me look at a forearm, so I could see a color. I pushed 'focused' when I thought about that color. I needed less than a dozen of these. Then the instructions indicated I was to wait while it processed the information.

"I see it's thinking. There is still a connection to the box, where a larger neural net is processing things. That can take a lot of power. Huh? That was fast."

"It should take longer?"

"Yes... wait a minute. You were the initial mind it trained on. As I recall, you had unusual clarity, and unusual focus. I guess the clean signal was easier to use, and also familiar. That's good. Okay, push 'command' then 'user' and say 'hello I am sexy tall and powerful', and push 'done'."

I did. "What was that for?"

"The system also supports audio input. It is now tuned to your voice as opposed to other voices in the area. The combs also pick up sound, allowing it to determine the voice is physically close as well as sounding like you. This way a twin or a recording won't easily set it off."

"Can they handle a sub vocalization?"

"Why?"

"When they film the commercial or movie, having me say something they have to cut, costs extra for special effects to paste an unmoving mouth, but if my mouth doesn't move, dampening the sound is cheap."

"Oh! Never thought of that. Push 'command' then 'user' again, but use your other voice. We'll see if it works."

I did, and then nodded. He asked for the remote, and handed me a small booklet of pictures. I looked at them all, then back at him.

"Select one, and say 'outfit' followed by the outfit name on the picture. Wait a moment while I get the mirror out."

After it was set up, I gave the command 'outfit office three'. I felt the nanites quickly shift, and suddenly I was in that outfit, even with the heels. Looking in the mirror, I saw I was dressed as a woman in middle management, with a hint of cleavage, and a dress that came to just below the knee. The outfit was in the same colors as the picture.

"Nice."

"Say 'outfit theme two'."

Curious. That changed the outfit colors and materials to something a little more upscale. Tex held up two fingers, and then changed them to three. I gave the command and the outfit changed, showing a lot more cleavage, and the skirt was just above the knee. Tex held up four fingers. That version barely held my upper breasts in, and I now wore a miniskirt.

"These themes are designed based on how casual and sexy you want to be. Look again at the photo. See the number in the upper left? That is how many themes are preprogrammed for the outfit. Go ahead and try more out. I'll sit for a bit, while you do that."

I did a few, and saw he was not paying much attention to me, so I did a few more. He still was not paying attention, so I did a few more. This time, when I looked, I realized he was sleeping. So I decided to do all the ones in the book. That took nearly an hour. Then I went over and woke him.

"Have a nice nap? I went through them all."

"Sorry. Didn't realize the red-eye would be so tiring. So, let me get book two." He dug into a pocket and pulled out a phone. A few taps later, he handed it to me.

I recognized one of my Nigkala outfits, and laughed. "You put these in also?"

"I had to do some digging, but I think I got all your main outfits. Definitely the important ones. The themes are different outfits for that character, rather than versions of the same outfit. Go for it. I think I'll stay awake for these."

"You may not, but your dick will." He chuckled. So I did one or two of each character before swiping to the next character. For the Nigkala combat outfit, it even had weapons that I could draw. They weren't sharp, but wow. From a distance, you wouldn't know that.

"Think I can add two, with a variant?"

"Sure... Why?"

"I mentioned a particular scene to the director, and I would like to set things up, so I can show him."

"Okay, here's the remote. Push 'command' then 'remove'." When I did, the suit flowed off me into a small puddle, then streamed into the box and became the block. After it was all in, I called Cindy and had her bring the outfits.

Cindy came and said, "Becky Sue, here are the outfits." She held them out to me and I took them, and then she left.

"How do I input them?"

"Put on the first one, and I'll use the other remote to take a hologram of it." After he took the pic, I put the second one on in the 'flirty' mode. When that pic was taken, I adjusted the outfit to the 'naughty' mode where my vagina was clearly on display. Finally, we took a 'lust' mode where my breasts were visible also.

"This will take a while to process. We already have your body measurements, so we don't need a nude of you as well. In the meantime, why not grab a coffee."

"Don't have any of that down here, but there are some bottled drinks in the fridge over there." We went over and each grabbed one.

"You have this soda with your healthy drinks?"

"Actually, that is one of several I like. It is the healthy stuff that is the oddity. It is mostly there for guests. I will sometimes use one if I feel I overdid it, or want a change of pace. Filipe also likes them more. I can tell he had a good workout if he grabs a soda. The healthy drinks are more for when he feels the workout was merely okay."

"I just heard a ding. It is finished processing. Shall we?"

I got back, and Tex told me I could skip the learning stage and go directly to the wearing stage. I walked over to the big mirror I pulled out, and then activated the nanites. I called Cindy again, and she came down and recorded the transition from my phone. I then asked Tex's assistance for an enactment of the scene. He didn't want his face to be seen, or his voice heard, so we shot it over his shoulder and I did all the talking, including the stage direction. We reviewed the video, and he said it was okay to show the film people as a way to sell it, but I couldn't let it get out. I promised to not let it leave my phone.

We then packed up, and went out on the town. I texted the producer, and he could see us at two. I showed him the video, and he really liked it. I asked Tex if he and the director could come on set at the commercial shoot. Tex passed on the request with his recommendation. Everyone was surprised when Tex's phone rang. It was the one in charge of the shoot, and she insisted we stop by for a bit. So details were exchanged, and we agreed to see each other the next day.

After we got home, I went swimming and Tex watched. Eventually, I convinced him to join me. He looked around, and decided no one was there, so undressed and joined me in the nude. When it was time for dinner, Cindy came out to set the patio table in the nude. Tammy, in her uniform, brought out the food. Filipe, also in the nude, brought out the drinks. Tex was quite embarrassed when he realized everyone was there. The rest of us were completely relaxed because it was something that happened regularly.

Filipe said, "Tex, relax. No one here cares if you are wearing clothes or not. I know the ladies like looking. If you want sex, my wife, or Cindy, will be glad to be your partner. If you just want to watch, you can do that as well."

"Yes, Tex. You're with friends. No worries here."

Tex chose to get dressed anyway. After dinner, Tex chose to head to bed, as he had had a long day. Filipe said goodnight even as he was doing Cindy. I walked him to his room, verifying the wake-up call. On the way back, I alerted Tammy that we would need coffee early.

The commercial shoot had a lot of extras and four sets. As one pair of sets was being dressed, we filmed in the other. The extras were dressed to suit the set. Between each pair of sets, I walked a short distance against a brick background, with the camera on me the whole time. I would describe a situation where I had no time to change between work and the evening party, and then I walked between the office and rave sets, giving my command to change the outfit. By the time I was in the rave set, I was dressed for it. We did at least a dozen pairs of scenes using the set pairs.

The producer and director of the film stayed and watched two of the scenes before leaving. The commercial's director was satisfied all went well. After the shoot, Tex indicated he would be in town a few days, as he was taking vacation to visit. He told me he even had permission to see what I could do with the unit. I told him he was welcome to stay at my place.

After breakfast the next day, we met in the gym. "So, what kind of limits do I have to play?"

"I asked, and they said you could do anything, as they felt that whatever you do, we'll likely learn something."

"Hm. You remember my 'other' mental abilities?"

"Uh, what would that have to do with...? Oh! You think you can tap into the neural net?"

"Worth a shot. I'm thinking I can think of a pattern, and then let it read the pattern, and as it processes it, I can guide it to the correct answer. Do this enough times, and maybe I can train it to read my mental images directly."

"Oh man, I so hope you make it work. I need to get my laptop from my room. I'll be right back." While he was gone, I set the room to record. He came back quickly.

"I need to set some things up." He banged away at it a few minutes before he was ready. "I had to clone it, to ensure the current knowledge is saved. We don't want to lose that. I also needed to set some training safeties to ensure we don't have a problem."

I waited until he relaxed and stopped typing. "You ready yet?"

"What? Oh, yeah. Go for it."

"I'll start simple." I called for 'Tina One' which was from 'Lilith Ascends'. It was essentially a single color outfit. "I want to try changing the color by thinking the word color, then the color I want the outfit to be. I will say the word, and think it for a while. I want you to wait several seconds, before telling the system to capture my thoughts currently. Then you tell me to think of a color, and I will say ready and think it. Again, wait a bit to capture it, and tell me when. Then I'll call forth the color sleeve to select the color I was thinking of. We'll do that a few times, and then let it calculate a bit. The next step will be to select an area on the outfit by thought alone, and get it to read it and compare it with a finger-drawn version. Let's see where that gets us."

"Okay. That's going to take a lot of computation."

"I may be able to assist with that, but at least we can see if I can change the color on a selected part of clothing. Ready?" I saw him nod. "Color." And I waited for him.

"Got it."

I thought of a color, green, and said, "Ready."

"Got it."

I brought out the sleeve control, and selected the color green I was thinking of.

"Selected color noted. Next."

"Color."
