Attempting to manifest the coziest warmest friendliest voice for ART to contrast SecUnit's incredibly unreliable narration (and to make for the most amazing tone switch in NE)
A la the Ratthi "Who's this" scene being flipped on its head. Book: confused. TV Show reality: well hello there~ (the SecUnit is confused)
I want an ART that sounds like it's the coziest house in the world and dripping concern that you are cold and do you need a cozy seat? The voice of someone who’s gonna tuck you in and give you a nice recharge cycle and put on your favourite show and help you choose an outfit and explain that person is asking you to sit with them.
And for SecUnit to be taking all of it as a threat or some kind of mental attack it does not understand (Gurathin's pathetic interrogation, Ratthi's arms spread approach)
Just.
Take that unreliable narrator of season 1 and dial it up to bounce off the world's friendlest but biggest research transport. All the potential for SecUnit to narrate something about ART and immediate cut to the opposite
I am begging. I am manifesting. I am dreaming.
Choice snippets from NewTideland I am saving for all eternity:
"And now I'm sitting here with Ratthi voicing ART in my head. "Oh, mate, you were so lucky there. Someone could've figured out what you are, which, well - good thing they didn't, am I right?""
"Art:"YOU WERE LUCKY"
Sec Unit: oh no it's big and threatening and I'm not sulking
Art: wow it was lucky I didn't jump the gun and accidentally break it"
ART: I know! I'll show it behind my wall for a sec so it'll understand me better and not be scared.
"ART going pspspsppsps at MB"
"ART seeing the first sec unit it's aware of that's independent and on its own and going *poor scared construct must know I am Big and it is Safe and even though I'm stronger than it I'm not going to accidentally crush it""
"Coaxing the scared junkyard dog Alexa Terminator into hanging out with it"
MB: I call it ART; it stands for Asshole Research Transport.
ART: Who wants some fresh-baked cookies?
These New Tideland folks are great they get me and humour my wants. Brilliant
