6.0 \ VOICE

[snarkboy]

Greetings, network.

[ The voice that speaks sounds like kind of like Skeets, though you may not recognize it immediately since he also sounds human and doesn't have the electronic reverb. ]

It's been days since I've been able to connect to the internet directly, term is quickly coming to an end, and I am unsure what I should be doing.

Evidently the only way I'm still useful is providing emotional support so consider this an open offer if you require it. Given the seemingly unending amount of drama you all manage to find yourselves caught up in, I'm sure at least some of you need someone to talk to.

[ He may be a little bit grumpy. Just a little. ]

Good evening, Skeets.

It does seem that given the current climate, the ImPorts have been finding no shortage of issues.

[Himself included, but he's not seeking emotional support or anything. Of course not. He is a-ok. He is fine. He's just making conversation. All is well with D-thirty-three. That's for sure.]

How have you been faring?

Voice;

[snarkboy]

I'm healthy and unharmed, if mildly inconvenienced my my current situation. Compared to the community at large, I appear to be fairly lucky in that regard. What about you, sir?

[d33tached]

You needn't concern yourself with my personal matters.

What current situation is it that you find yourself in?

[snarkboy]

Due to the most recent issues regarding the Porter, I've found myself unable to become a robot again. In other words, I've become human for the foreseeable future.

voice; sorry not sorry

[photophobic]

Are you offering emotional support, or seeking it?

[Force, it's dull sitting around guarding Hux.]

permavoice

[snarkboy]

I'm offering it, sir. Do you require any?

[photophobic]

[Well. That... is not as amusing a reply as he had hoped.]

No. I'm quite confident you have nothing I require.

[Poe is still in space, or he'd video call this down. He would have just let this post slide by, probably, except the voice sounded familiar.

Then he looked at the name.]

Woah - Skeets, buddy? That you?

Voice;

[snarkboy]

Yes, sir. I'm currently stuck as a human, if that explains anything to you.

[flightforfreedom]

your powers acting up too, huh?

sorry buddy, that's gotta be rough

how's the call for drama going

[the_caped_crusader]

I noticed this morning that one of my suits was missing. You wouldn't happen to know anything about that, would you?

permavoice

[snarkboy]

You'll be getting it back shortly, sir. Has anyone told you that you're a very tall man?

[the_caped_crusader]

Ye-- that's a $3500 suit. There's no way it fits you.

voice;

[deadkord]

When I said you looked like a grown up high school drama nerd, this wasn't what I meant.

permavoice

[snarkboy]

Very funny play on words, sir. If you have any better ideas on what I should be busying myself with, I have ears now.

samesies

[deadkord]

Hey, I never claimed to have any suggestions. What if I'm here for the emotional support you're offering?

[ Voice ]

[ghoulking]

imPorts are always getting caught in something.

Have you, as well? [ because you sound grumpy ]

[snarkboy]

The nature of the beast, sir.

I am luckily drama-free, but I'm currently more man than machine. I have nothing against taking human form but I resent not having the choice to turn back.

[ghoulking]

[ so yes, he was caught as well ]

I'm sorry to hear that. is the human body alright, though? Some people have been getting sick.

I don't need to talk, but you said you'd like to visit and now might be a good time.

[snarkboy]

I can head out soon. See you then?

Re: Text;

[reexamined]

Yes.



Can you bring coffee.

[khajidont]

[ Look! He's himself again! Which means he gets to speak to Skeets on his own terms, and not through Khaji's grumbling. ]

Aw, Skeets, don't say that! You're useful in a bunch of ways that have nothing to do with, uh... what you are, I guess you'd call it?

permavoice

[snarkboy]

It's good to hear from you, Mr. Reyes.

[ Exceedingly polite or glad to hear from Jaime in particular? Why not both? ]

It would do my ego no small favours if you could enlighten me to how you think I'm useful, sir.

[khajidont]

Man, it is good to be heard, Skeets. Swear to god.

[ Skeets knows what's up. ]

Anyway... I mean, a lot of it falls into, like, emotional support? But that's what friends are, and that stuff's important. I'd rather have a friend on my side than some all-powerful being any day, I can tell you that much. But being a good friend aside, you're smart, and you're strategic. Having a brain instead of a hard drive doesn't really change that.
