Two stories for Prop #2

[dale coba]

If I succeed, the suit prop will produce two complementary narratives:
- the technical methods, orchestration - the objective, external story,
and
- the experience, the perception - the subjective, internal story of the wearer.

There is little reason to write those stories AFTER the suit has been created. However, once a plan or a prototype exists, those two stories would be instrumental in illustrating the premise; the methods (for safety and curiosity); and the appeal.

Strictly speaking, this suit is meant to encourage a real person's guided entrancement. These stories would be about wearable gear which supplements a hypnotic state of robotic experience, and thereby promotes a robotic performance for a partner or viewers; therefore, these stories would be non-fiction, but speculative, anticipatory.

The suit, and the stories, are set now-ish: call it 2015-era technology, give or take. It's an inverse holodeck, a sensory room exactly the size and shape around her body. The computer co-ordinates her positional information, and tells the suit what to do, to trigger sensations and distractions based on where she is and what she does.

Write the stories, to help performers embrace the experience.
