#ih ros

[speakergame]

The last ask got me intrigued : how about the ros from Idle Hands and At the Threshold clothing for a fancy event ? Unless it's spoilers, of course !

I think this technically counts as spoilers, so I'll put it under a cut, but this is fun and I don't think it's going to ruin anything if I tell you 😘

Casey cleans up surprisingly well, for someone whose casual clothes tend to be ripped and/or covered in paint. A suit, either in black or some other dark color, with the shirt unbuttoned a lot more than it needs to be. Doc Martens instead of dress shoes.

Mal looks like they just stepped off the red carpet, but somehow makes it look casual and comfortable. Modern, but never boring or basic. Think Zendaya or Leslie Odom Jr.

Gavin wears a full black on black suit, like a (much) subtler version of Li. With his sunglasses, it makes him look like a secret agent, though he'd never believe you if you told him that.

Anastasia loves glitter and glamor. Looks amazing in gold especially, and likes a nice high slit in the skirt of her dress, both for mobility and to show off her legs.

Bonus: Anya looks like a fairy princess, but also maybe an evil fairy princess. Tulle and frills and glitter as far as the eye can see. Pastel pink and purple and black. Wants to wear a tiara, but takes it off almost immediately and makes Gavin carry it around.

Okay, random question. so we know Rory drives a motorcycle, and Kana drives a convertible, But what do the other RO's drive or would drive if they had a car?(since you mentioned the possibility of Az not driving in the car scene) Hope you have a good day/night/afternoon aswell!!

with added specifics because researching cars was actually a lot of fun 😆:

Rory drives a blue '85 Harley-Davidson FXEF Super Glide that they rebuilt themself. they call her Beatrix

Kana drives a white 2018 BMW series 4 convertible

I haven't settled on an exact car for Sebastian yet. Something intentionally "boring" that doesn't stand out in a crowd, that has enough headroom for someone his size, and is at least 10 years old

Li can drive, but doesn't own a car. Borrows Gavin's car, if they need to go somewhere.

Azalea can't drive and doesn't own a car. If she did, she'd probably own a hybrid or electric.

Gavin owns a powder blue late-60's Chevelle, which has been mentioned in passing once or twice already. He doesn't drive very often, though, so it's kind of become the family vehicle.

Audrey drives a red Volkswagen Beetle. the new model, not the old 60's one.

Nellie drives a hatchback, either black or dark green. I haven't decided if it's a Mazda 3 or Ford Focus, but it's one of the two. has a few aftermarket upgrades

Luke, Mama, Henry, Ana, and Casey all borrow Gav's car instead of owning one of their own.

Mal can drive, but hates doing it, and doesn't own a car.

Anya is 7. Owns a Hot Wheels version of her dad's car

I just saw a post of the level of angst of each romance in Speaker. What do you think about the romances options of idle hands? Maybe threshold too?

Also, give Gavin and my daughter Anya my unconditional love ❤️

(original post references is here)

for the At the Threshold folks, I'm still figuring out their dynamics and whatnot, so I'm going to skip them for now

but for the Idle Hands cast:

least to most angst: Anastasia, Casey, Gavin, Mal

slowest burn to whirlwind romance: Gavin, Mal, Ana, Casey

Some random incorrect quotes for the Ro's from all current speaker books?

okay okay okay, I spent way too long on an incorrect quote generator for these. includes all the Speaker RO's plus Seer, and all the IH RO's. I left AtT out this time, but I may revisit it for them in the future

Azalea:

Sebastian:

Li:

Rory:

Kana:

Seer:

Gavin:

Ana:

Casey:

Mal:

Bonus, Speaker group:

it might be super early, with the orpheus/eurydice ask going around ahhhh, which of the ROs from IH and/or ATT would turn around?

Turns around: Casey, Ana, Luke

Doesn't turn around: Mal, Asher, Si

Gavin... could go either way, I think. He'd want to turn around, but I think he'd make it out without doing so (if only barely).

Gwyn would cheat, somehow. They're one of the old fae and know the kinds of loopholes things like this have. Can they turn around if they're blindfolded? Can they touch their partner as long as they don't look at them? Can they take a shortcut?

fmk 2, electric boogaloo! how would the ih ros react to witness (who they're heavily crushing on but aren't dating /yet/) choosing them for any of the options in a fmk game?

crushing ROs if Witness chooses them for “fuck”:

why?: Gavin

lecherous eyebrow waggle: Casey

if you’re serious, I’m free this evening: Mal, Ana

if Witness chooses them for “marry”:

full mental bluescreen, does not compute: Gavin, Casey

VEGAS BABY: Ana

obviously, who wouldn’t want to marry me?: Mal

if Witness chooses them for “kill”:

how could you, think of the children (Anya is the children): Gavin

how could you, think of the children (me, I am the children): Ana, Mal, Casey

How would the ih ros respond to a shy vs bold mc?

this is probably spoilers, buuuut it’s going to be a while (second half of this year at the absolute earliest) before any of you actually get to see for yourself so I’m gonna compromise and give some vague answers ;)

under the cut for those who want to wait

Casey is boldly flirtatious with a shy Witness and shy and flustered by a bold Witness.

Malcolm/Mallory is very smooth and charming either way. Wants to get a shy Witness to speak up and wants to make a bold Witness blush.

Anastasia is playful and bantery with a bold Witness and sweet (but still playful) with a shy Witness.

Gavin is bad at flirting. At least in the beginning. Shy Witness makes him stumble over his words, bold Witness will get a lot of glaring-and-blushing-at-the-same-time.

Hello, I can't find it anywhere so I wanted to ask. What are the ages of the main cast of Speaker (also IH and AtT)? Ages of Seer and Speaker are up to the player, yes? What is the possible age range for them? Is Li same age as the MC?

I’ve mentioned some of it here alongside their birthdays, but if I were to give specific numbers:

Speaker/Seer are in their mid-20s. probably 24-26, but possibly as young as 23. old enough that living on their own isn’t weird, but young enough that they feel unprepared for it. (they can be older or younger than this if you want, it is ultimately up to you, but this is how I imagine them and that probably bleeds into the writing a bit)

Liam/Lily is the same age. they were in the same year at school, so they were born within a year of each other.

Azalea is 2 years older than Speaker, 26-28.

Kana is a year younger, 23-25

Rory is 2 years younger, 22-24

Sebastian is 3 years older, 27-29

The Witness is in their late-20s to early-30s, I’d say probably 28-30. old enough that they would have been settled into their life as it was, before the events that led to them being the main character of an interactive novel.

Gavin is almost exactly 2 years older than Li, born in the same month, so he’s 26-28.

Anastasia is the same age as Gav, 26-28

Casey is 3 years younger than Witness, 25-27

Malcolm/Mallory is 31-33, so 3 years older than Witness.

Anya is 7.

Luke is 3 years younger than Li, 21-23

Nellie is 5 years older than Li, and so she’s 29-31

Audrey is baby, she’s 15-17, so 9 years younger than Li/Speaker/Seer.

most of the AtT crew’s ages are actually spoilers ;) except Luke’s, which is mentioned above, and Gwyn’s, who is, in a word, ancient. we’re talking upwards of 2000 years old ancient. they are literally a figure from Authurian legend, and they were already old even then.
