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
Select the voice you want to be represented by using the link below
It'll go a long way in helping me to distinguish your messages from other people's

Thanks

( 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. )

Who says bread puns aren't good

You?

Bc you're right and I don't think you've ever made a joke before this so I'm ready to hear the back catalogue that's so amazing

[gyve]

People tell me I'm sarcastic
That's basically one prolonged joke isn't it

( and wouldn't you know it? so is my life )

Whatever
You can't ask people to rattle off everything they've said
Share your back catalogue

[fessus]

Fine you want a joke?

Yk how to open your camera setting now right?

[gyve]

Yeah
Why

[fessus]

Put it in selfie mode

[gyve]

( ... does as noctis asks for the sake of the joke, activating his camera in "selfie mode."

he stares at himself in his holo-screen as though he's looking in a mirror, wondering at the punchline. maybe it's his face, unsmiling and tired. that he'd agree with. that'd be funny. )

What now

[fessus]

[ ... Kaladin just does it, without telling him to get bent or that it's a stupid joke. Which means now it can keep going. ]

Take a pic

[gyve]

( .......... )

Ugh

( ... takes one. it captures kaladin showing off a very sarcastic smile. he sends it to noctis for review. )

[fessus]

[ Ah.

"Send it over" was a follow-up command he was debating but hadn't committed to, but Kaladin commits for him. His hair needs a trim, as usual. And there's the tiredness showing in circles beneath his eyes, of course.

But the smile is a different look for him, and Noctis wants to stare as much as he feels it's strangely invasive to do so. He minimizes it. ]

You could at yeast laugh

[gyve]

Ha ha

I don't think I understood it

[fessus]

You don't understand that you're a joke?

[gyve]

I was waiting for you to deliver the punchline but this is it I guess
How terribly original

Mine was better

[fessus]

I'm the one who said yours was good in the first place but then you got an attitude

[gyve]

Now we're back to square one

( ... )

We should really find a way to record your voice for the speech to text generator Noctis

[fessus]

What?

Where'd that come from all of a sudden lol

[gyve]

It's not sudden it's the entire purpose of the conversation
It'd be nicer to hear all this spoken by you

[fessus]

[ What a... sudden and unexpected compliment. And unorthodox too... ]

Oh really

Bc you're crazy if you think I'm recording myself saying every word I can think of

[gyve]

As it was exhaustively explained to me by the implant when I asked it I think it needs only a long sample of regular speech
We could talk some and see
But you're better with technology than I am
What do you think

[fessus]

I'm better with tech from my world

We have recorded and artificial voices there but it sounds like they're way ahead here. Still even if it's way easier I don't think you're realizing how long it's going to take to record everyone's vocal patterns or whatever

[gyve]

No
I don't realize
That's why I need someone to tell me if it's feasible or not

You don't understand what it's like
Day in day out listening to robots instead of people

Or maybe you do surrounded by arcade machines and virtual reality things

[fessus]

Nah even I get that's not the same

You don't have to try to convince me anymore, I'll do it. You're right that you don't know enough about tech to do anything weird with my voice anyway

I'm just prepping you for disappointment and the reality of having my voice loaded and no one else's when they're less nice than me lol

[gyve]

Your voice is the only one I care to hear at the moment anyway
Just imagining loading Silco's is a nightmare

I won't be disappointed
Whatever comes of this experiment will be better than what's already available
Have you listened to the list of options

[fessus]

Lol if I found out you loaded his voice and used it to read any of my texts I'd kick your ass

[ The mere mental image........ ]

I listened to some earlier, at least you kicked the default

[gyve]

I'd never do that
You can consider this my oath to you

( he hates silco so much he swore an unbreakable oath )

People are choosing worse ones but I can't complain when it separates them from others

Listen I have to head out now
I'll call you sometime and we can record the conversation for the generator
