I do not own Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir.
Enjoy!
They were calling him Father time.
It was Saturday morning and all the news people, even the rarely seen helicopter woman who the world can't remember the name of, was at the table.
"So...wow," said Alec Cataldi. "The world changed last night"
Nadja said. "For all the viewers who have no idea what we are talking about. Yesterday, a historical event took place. Let's take a look"
And then the screen showed up and they played the full clip of him presenting to the world.
It was only 20 minutes, but it was mind-blowing.
The three came back.
"Every time, I see that video. I get chills" said the unnamed newswoman.
"Can we talk about this kids age, please?" said Alec. "Is he really only 14? His voice is huge, intelligent and he just dominates that entire stage. Where has this child been hiding?"
"I know. He is very intelligent for his age and with a presence like that, you can not see him as a child." Said Nadja. "When people think about a company run by a child, they think of a lemon aid stand so it's very shocking that a child created a tech firm and not just any tech firm. The Future of Humankind"
"I know," said the unnamed woman. "This person not only announced that there will be a spray that heals all cuts for such a low price." And then she added. "Which is going to be game-changing for many poor parts of the world, he also announced that we can change our clothes designs digitally, now. I was losing my mind"
"I didn't just lose my mind," said Alec. "I filled out the form, paid the money and sent several pairs of my clothes to the nearest factory before I came into work this morning."
Nadja said. "I know my daughter, would love some changing design clothes. This level of technology may kill the number of clothes being produced but it will surely open up a market for paid promotion designs amongst the general public. Companies everywhere must be salivating at the mere idea of people becoming walking advertisements for big brands. The playing field has shifted"
Yes, it has.
And she was right, millions had already signed up to Future designer page so that they can charge people for gifs or designs that will be projected on clothes.
The unnamed woman said. "Hearing you talk about this technology is making me genuinely smile. If the company can deliver at least half of what was promised with these projections. We would have truly entered a new age in human history. Everybody would be wearing it. We would have truly stepped into the Future"
Alec said. "Yes, if they deliver a good product then who wouldn't know the name Krei or the Company Future? Every major company must be flocking to this company right now. All the company needs to do is land one solid product and then boom! The entire world will help Krei produce these ideas and release these to the public as fast as possible. Future will be the King of the tech world, it would be no contest"
Yes.
The sky was the limit for this company if they get it right.
Nadia said to the camera. "Will Future stick this landing or will they crumble and fall under their ideas?"
Krie had entered his company only to meet work hell.
His days of taking naps were over, now he had to juggle the biggest names trying to meet him, he had to make sure those working on people's clothes were on the same and they don't fuck up.
If the protective coating on the wires weren't properly done or something was a mess, then a washing machine can literally blow up when the items are washed.
His company didn't have millions of Washing machine money so he prayed they did a good job.
Of course, those coming from Paris will get to this level of technology first.
And then there was the Parazzai outside the building, trying to get in or interview workers.
They were making a lot of noise. He thought, seeing them outside his window.
He couldn't put earplugs in because he needed to listen to what was happening around him.
How could one person be so overworked?
Oh.
That's right.
That's why executives exist but the number of backstabbers and morons who think they knew everything...
Ack.
Maybe, he should build a machine that would categories all the offers and go through them for him? He thought.
That wasn't that bad of an idea and robots don't plan to gather shares to take over the company.
He said to his secretary. "Send out a message to the whole design and tech team. If anybody can produce an AI that can sort out trash offers and get in contact with actually good company then I will offer them a million dollars contract"
The woman was speechless.
He coughed and she apologised and told everybody.
Now, he just had to endure until his company stabilises.
However, he was blessed by God again so not only did he not die from overworking, those who wanted to turn Future into a shithole by using a contract, suddenly we're hit with very bad luck in the stock market and went under.
This kind if thing happened all the time though, so nobody really thought God was punishing them.
Krie, on the other hand, was surprised to have breaks and by Sunday, the first batch of altered clothes arrived on Paris's doorstep, along with a tag with the app name on it and a clear warning about the clothes for legal reasons especially to those who want to tamper with it.
He watched Alec on LiveTV, look like a kid in a candy store, as he tried the free designs on his shirt and trousers.
The blue t-shirt shirt and jeans turned to red crosses, all over.
"Woah!" Said the man and the whole of Paris were shocked and awed too.
The guy tried the ping pong, Giff, for his shirt and everybody stared as the animation went live on him and it began to play.
"They nailed it!" said Alec, excited. "This is the coolest thing I have ever owned. Although it's not like the snap of the fingers like what the Ceo presented but I get that it would be annoying if others can change the design of your clothes. However, I give this a 10 out of 10. This is so cool!"
And it wasn't just him, all around Paris, reports were coming in.
The world was being told that Future had indeed nailed it and videos of people showing off soon surfaced on the internet.
Of course, when Future nailed it, the Company value in the stock market skyrocketed to crazy heights.
People were spending money on new designs as well and Future took a small cut so the money train didn't just stop there.
Monday, rolled around and more altered clothes began arriving.
He went to school that morning in a car and couldn't help but smile at the people proudly showing off their animated clothes on the streets as they walked to school or work.
The world was drastically changing around him.
To think that there will now be babies who will be wrapped in nothing but these interactive clothes.
A new age had indeed begun.
He was dropped off at school and his eyes were drawn immediately to Nino Lahiffe who had brought a musical design and was currently playing crazy frog on it.
It involved his shirt, trousers and sneakers.
Seeing the amazement on students faces, the guy was going to be very popular today and have lots of fun.
He went up to him and said. "Cool clothes"
The guy turned around and everybody saw him.
They recognised him and their mouths opened.
They had no idea he went to school here!
He continued up the steps and enjoyed the looks on everybody faces when they saw him.
He sat down in his unusual class seat, only to be told, he would be taking his exams today.
The Principals had been informed that he went to school here and the government wanted him to focus on his company instead of stay 6 hours here, 5 days a week, clearly wasting his time.
He shrugged when he heard about it and then he was taken to an empty classroom, where a teacher was assigned to give him his exam papers.
So while the world around him was having fun with the clothes, he was stuck doing exams.
As he went through it, he realised that he had forgotten how much exams can suck, he was allowed that 15-minute break which he spent going to the toilet and eating an apple.
Then he was back to it.
He truly got some time to himself at lunchtime, though.
He was treated to a bunch of students who got their outfits back, trying out the connective options and displaying one large animation over multiple tops.
The group was very popular even amongst the staff.
Fast forward to a week, by the time he had finished his exams, he found that everybody in school was wearing the clothes including the staff, along with the rest of Paris and many parts of the world.
People everywhere were showing off with glee.
It was amazing, everybody was wearing the Future tech, even the homeless.
To add to the good news, the AI machine was done mysteriously which took a load off of him and on Sunday to next Friday, he closed deals with several well-respected manufactures, supermarkets and those in charge of First aid kits, all over the world.
Why?
For the distribution of the Spray.
The news blasted the news to the hungry public and gave the public an estimated time of when the shipments would be sent out.
The Future Medical Spray, a game-changer for the poor, and those living in tough places to live in.
Imagine, making 2 dollars a week and not having to worry about being physically hurt.
The shipments began to be sent out a week later and the whole world acted like they had never seen Spray before as they got their hands on it.
However, when they saw what it could do with their own eyes, the hype was well worth it.
Some tried it on their scabs or burns and the thing healed the skin completely!
Reactors everywhere online looked like they had just discovered the meaning of life as Future landed another product.
The poor jumped with joy because even those who could only afford makeshift toys for their children could afford it.
Everybody was packing at least one spray with them everywhere they went.
Places with high chances of injury poured it into buckets.
And Krei was a stupidly wealthy person by the time he got the certificates to prove that he didn't need any further education.
With the success of Future, he bumped up everybody working for him an entire salary and kept his promise about the million-dollar contract with the three who made that AI.
A happy workforce is a workforce that works efficiently.
However, despite graduating, he remained in the school.
Why?
Because he wanted to listen to what frustrates young people about the world while adults have become mellow and very accepting of how the world works.
The younger were a lot freer to say what sucks.
He offered Max Kante an internship at Future when the guy handed him his work ethic for the 15th time.
Smart child, it would be a crime for Max to do nothing but upgrade his robot friend.
Max would start in two weeks on the weekends though, which seemed to be a dream to the guy.
Meanwhile, he announced to the Media that his flying vehicle have been approved off and they would be released in December, so think of it as a Christmas gift from Future.
Plus, people would appreciate being able to get to work, especially in snowy parts.
He told them that Future would be offering training courses for transport drivers, it would only cost the company 1K per month for each bus.
Considering how much buses, especially public buses make per month, popular bus companies all around the world we're practically throwing themselves at Future.
Even the places with only two buses.
Goodbye to the dangerous cliff-like roads.
He also announced that there would be a premium range for those with a lot of money which got wealthy people excited and already paying the full money to have their old vehicle scrapped.
People really wanted to know what he hadn't told them about.
If it was underwhelming, people would say so, no longer were people shutting up about a reveal being disappointing especially from his company.
Go big or go home.
He said before the press. "So many of you are wondering what is next for the company"
Yes!
Everybody stared.
He said. "Well, I have three announcements. One. Future will be rolling out a software update for the Future Clothes. We found that it's getting cold so this update will make sure those wearing the clothes will feel nice and snug all throughout winter. And when I say snug, I promise that every customer will not feel the cold one bit during the wintertime, even if you are going shirtless"
What?
Uproar!
If this was somebody else, not a single person would believe him but this was Krie, the guy who brought them animated clothes and the Medical Spray.
Winter was about to be fun for a lot of people.
He said. "My next announcement."
They leaned in.
He said. "My company next mainline product is titled 'Project Yu-Gi-Oh' and the project next to it is called 'Project: Peekaboo'. Project Peekaboo will arrive in January next year and Project Yu-Gi-Oh will arrive next Summer to maximise it."
And then he said. "Future will be opening a small branch for none-mainline products. They are inventions that are good but not huge enough for Future big announcement it will be there, so check every day. You might find something that will help you"
He then said. "Have a warm Winter. I'm going home now"
And he truly left them with that.
But it was more than enough to go viral across the world.
They were getting the vehicles in December, there was a small branch for inventions that weren't that game-changing and Project Peekaboo was coming in January.
What is Project Peekaboo and how could something so game changing arrive so fast?
They didn't know but they were sure it was going to be crazy amazing.
Guess who found a Hair-growth spray that evening?
