I was shown by Noctis how to adjust my implant's text-to-speech settings
It's my hope that by the end of the week very few of you will sound like an overenthusiastic woman

( kaladin's implant reads to him in tiktok's "female-original" voice, but there are so many more to choose from. if you're savvy, you can even record clips of your own and have them uploaded so that it's your voice—personally—telling this idiot to stop using bar soap to wash his hair.

feel free to go wild with it. he'll have no fucking idea. )

Comments

[gyve]

That is correct yes

( CAN'T EVEN PRETEND )

I don't know where you got the idea that I'm somehow above insulting you though
One of your more charitable thoughts about me
I appreciate it thank you but I'm happy to stoop

As for women attempting to kill me
Great
I'm sure we'd have a really inspiring conversation during the fight about how prosperous their lives are with you in them
You seem to be doing a bang-up job improving their nation instead of busying yourself with siccing them on a random guy with a single bad opinion
I'm clapping you just can't hear it

1/2

[zauneyete]

Oh, so you are using effeminate as an insult, then, are you?

I'll be sure to let everyone know.

[ :) ]

[zauneyete]

Do you know what's funny, about what you're trying to say?

How prosperous we actually are because of me.

[ ok silco couch the ego there is literally someone here who can contradict you if she wants. ]

[gyve]

DO IT THEN
I'd rather speak with them than you

Forgive me though if I don't believe you
Your self-interest and sadistic streak paints one dismal storming picture

[zauneyete]

Oh, this is public for all to see. I'm sure you'll hear about it soon enough. If not, I'll remind them, if brought up in conversation. Oops, I suppose I'll have free reign to share all of the details. It hardly puts you in a good light.

I don't rightly care if you don't believe me.
After all, I am a product of where I come from, and we are who we have had to be. Is it not funny that you look down on us for being... self-interested and sadistic, when perhaps that is all that we have to survive?

[gyve]

Proactive of you
I can't wait for the scathing backlash

By the way I'm not looking down on your people
I'm just looking down on you

Again I know what survival looks like
For me
But there are as many ways to endure as there are human beings
Don't put everyone in the same box
It's disrespectful

[zauneyete]

Ah, but I am only talking about me and mine.

And we? We would eat you alive. Do you think I'm possibly the worst? I'll give you a little secret, Big Hero.

I'm one of the ones least likely to gut you, loot you, and leave you in the gutter.

[gyve]

As much as I'd like to figure out how any of you would go about attempting the gutting and looting I don't want to risk receiving another disappointing secret

Does anyone like you yet
I'm worried someone's going to bum-rush you in an alley for acting like the only person in the universe who's ever suffered
You need an ally or twenty

[zauneyete]

[ does anybody even like him??? ]

You know, I didn't even bring that up. Perhaps I should ask you the same, hm?

Besides, I know how to keep allies when I need them.

[ he says. not really answering the question. ]

[gyve]

I don't know
You'll have to ask them while you're telling everyone I called you effeminate

Have you needed allies yet Silco

[zauneyete]

Would it surprise you to know that I have? Even moreso that I've had them when needed?

[gyve]

Not about the first statement
But I am genuinely surprised about the second

Would you ever consider asking me for help

[zauneyete]

[ unfortunately, his pragmatist side wins over the bully side. ]

I would have to be either dying, or extremely desperate.

But I am a logical man, and do not discount the possibility of anything.

[gyve]

Good

I may dislike you Silco but I won't let you die when you have a kid here to protect
Consider my help line open to you and yours

My only request is you don't issue fake calls where you leave your business card on the ground for me to find
You can mock me but I ask you not to interfere with my duties as a paramedic

( text : un: fishbones )

[powderkegs]

[ ohHHHHH. this is drama at its finest. she's not sure why silco is getting all wrapped in this. what is it worth to him really? but you know what?

she doesn't care. this is fun for her. ]

you rang?

[gyve]

I didn't ring

Can I help you pick out a voice or something

[powderkegs]

Cute! Maybe next time, sweetie.

I hear you're giving my old man a hard time for his work. Maybe you'd like to hear from a girl from the Lanes?

[gyve]

( oh. oh. so this is silco's kid.

well, this changes things. his brow creases and he adopts a quieter, less aggressive tone even though jinx can't hear it. )

From time to time
We have issues with each other but that's nothing you have to worry about
We'll work through it together without involving family

I would like to hear from you though
If you're willing to share then you can count on me to listen

[powderkegs]

I'm not worried! It's fine! It's a good workout for him. He really likes to work those mouth muscles. Figuratively speaking of course.

But go ahead, ask away! S'why I popped in.

1/2

[gyve]

Haha
Yes he does

2/2

[gyve]

Let me know if what I ask makes you uncomfortable at any time
I'll never press you for answers

Is it very hard to live in Zaun

[powderkegs]

[ hmm. now she sees why silco gets riled up. ]

It's hard. You have nothing. Whenever you have something it's taken away. The air is bad. The place is dirty. If you get sick its over. There are orphans all over the place.

Basically how I grew up! and I was one of the lucky ones.

[gyve]

Taken away by your enemies
Those people above you who look down on you right

When did all of that begin
Is it recent within your lifetime or has it been that way for generations

[powderkegs]

That's right. We're just animals. People to be used. Or used up.

And I couldn't tell you! Longer than me, longer than my old man. It's always been this way.

That's why he works so hard. He believes in the dream. The dream of a free Zaun.

[gyve]

Disgusting
It's not fair to be treated like that
As though you're something lesser when it could've just as easily been them in your position
It's hard to make people like that see truth when all they have to do is look away to avoid a change in their lifestyles

But a free Zaun
What does that look like to you
To him
