#BWEH SORRY I KEEP GETTIN ALL SAPPY

[dusty-pistol]

Callum ramble cuz I wanna yap about him!! Ignore the tags...

So I recently looked into some of Dogman's writin cuz I wanted to get a better understandin for how Callum speaks. Cuz like sure, we get audible examples in game but those are from other people's perspectives (Norm and Gingi). I don't think they're all too accurate since both Norm and Gingi are unreliable narrators.

So I re-read Ensnared and the dialog excerpt in Milton's wiki page and I think it really helped me get a better understandin! It also helped me understand Milton a bit too! I wish we'd get some Marla dialog though... Maybe soon. Hopefully soon anyway.

BACK ON TRACK!! Some lil things I took notice of regardin Callum's speech patterns and just him in general:

• He uses annunciation VERY often and speaks with his hands a lot as well. Very expressive!

• He curses quite a bit. Especially when excited about somethin or high. It's hard to distinguish between the two.. It might just be somethin he does around people he's comfortable with (specially Milton in this case)

• He overanalyzes things a lot and goes into detail about his thought process. As seen in Ensnared as he talks about the fly in the spider's web. Again, it might just be due to the coke, but I feel as though he's more verbal about it when high.

• He's a little pushy with his ideas and enthusiasm. Constantly insistin that Milton should hear him out on his ideas even if they seem crazy. I've also noticed he tries sweet talkin him into listenin as well.

•In the midst of bein wrapped up in his big ideas, he forgets about the "smaller" things and the finer details. Here's a direct example from Milton's wiki page:

C: "You know, Milt. I think I appreciate you as a sounding-board most of all."

M: "I shouldn't be your only sounding-board, Callum. The American PEOPLE should be."

C: "Ah, you SEE, Milt? That's IT, that's what I've always liked about you. You remind me that there's PEOPLE on the board."
