What kind of sound are Theo's... noises... intended to be? Snorts? Mouth sounds? Choking sounds? Stuffy nose sounds? I feel like I imagine them as a different thing every time I read them lol

Almost all of the above, really! Nasally grunts, snorts, whines, growls, guttural noises that sound like he's clearing his throat or choking on his own air... Theo makes all manner of noises. Not on purpose.

His "noises" are unconscious vocalizations most of the time. They're akin to vocal tics. The utterances are louder, more pronounced and more frequent the more stressed he is. It takes quite a bit of effort and discomfort to suppress his noises once he feels the urge brewing (if he even catches it in time, because most of the time he isn't even fully aware that he's doing it). He does his utmost to keep them choked down, but to his embarrassment, some grunts and gags always slip through.

Also, often his laugh can sound like "a noise" since it can be more of a gargling wheeze than a proper expression of mirth. His smoking habit hasn't helped the, er, phlegminess of its sound.

A counterpoint to his common stress-sounds is his habit of making quiet humming noises when he's feeling contented and relaxed. He only does it when in exceedingly good spirits - so as you might imagine, he hasn't had much cause to hum in many years.

IDIOT DOOM SPIRAL - "Don't be shy, Tequila. Of course I'll do it." He ploughs a thumb into his chest. "I'm your man."

YOU - "Sorry, I'm already taken." (Nod at Kim.)

KIM KITSURAGI - The lieutenant is about to say something, but gets cut off...

IDIOT DOOM SPIRAL - "Listen, I'm not about to come between you two. I know my place, eh? I'll just be your Personal Brand Strategist man. Your high-concept idea generator. Yeah?"

SAVOIR FAIRE - *Great* can-do attitude! A billion reál mindset. Clinically *insane* energy! Hire him on the spot!!

If I didn't believe in magic, I'd still be treating gall bladders, prostates and stuff like that. See, magic ain't got nothing to do with organs and glands and busted necks. Magic got to do with the soul, man. Only the soul's got destiny. It got wings. It can fly. That's magic. The body? The body's just got a few minutes down here in the dirt with the rest of us.

hiiii savvy don't listen to the haters I think you're so cool *twirls my hair cutely*

SAVVY- Look at that. I've got fans. This is what happens when you're invested in developing a business portfolio. Making connections. Making a name for yourself. And that name is Savvy. Are you two going to let the next fucking Salzneben Report's Top 500 pass you by?

RHETORIC- I'm not endorsing this ultraliberal hustle culture bullshit.

SUGGESTION- I can respect the grind, but the brand of charisma you've got going on is a bit too... greasy.

SAVVY- Fine. You two can enjoy being broke. Some people know which way the river flows. This lucky anonymous flirt with soon learn the secret to becoming a millionaire.

RHETORIC- What use do we have for money? To buy brain-goods and brain-services?

SAVVY- Of course it's the communist that thinks that. Meanwhile, I'm getting bitches and cold, hard cash.

SUGGESTION- You've gotten a bitch. Singular.

VOLITION- Don't call this stranger a bitch, please.

SAVVY- Yeah, not a bitch. My bitch. You're all going to be begging for a slice of this cake when the ROI comes back. Just you wait. I'm not listening to the haters.

RHETORIC- The ROI on what? One compliment?... Don't walk away from me. Hey.

SUGGESTION- Wow. Backing away while doing a six-finger flip off is a pretty stellar exit move. Not gonna lie.

RHETORIC- Ugh.

if you're walking at 5mph, but your feet are on sideways, and the sky turns green at 2:53, and Keanu Reeves has been sent to Neptune, what's your favorite video game

i cant walk 5mph in the first place, im only 5'4 and i have to walk like marvin the fucking martian everywhere i go

if my feet were on sideways i would still manage to get my shoes on wrong because i cant tell my left from my right

if the sky turns green that means every single car on the road is allowed to go at the same time

keanu reeves cant be sent to neptune with an expired passport

my favorite videogame MIGHT be professor layton and the diabolical box just because ive never been able to get over the ending, but mario galaxy and deltarune also come to mind

Also, I'm back on my dbd bullshit with this seemingly permanent 150% BP bonus (because 2v8 sucks) to survivors. If anyone wants to play maybe we can coordinate at any point. Just DM me and I'll drop my steam code.

RHETORIC - Why are you even trying to open a door with rhetoric?

SAVOIR FAIRE - That's a very good question considering you have Savvy around -- the ultimate VIP.

YOU - "Because getting physical wasn't an option!"

PHYSICAL INSTRUMENT - Have I been summoned?

RHETORIC - No one needs you. Go away.
