Wait, so Foley's owner tazed them if they mess up? Man, I'm so glad Foley killed him because that's like putting a shock collar on a dog. TmT

The only positive outcome is that Foley gained resistance to electricity, although he still dislikes it when people point a taser at him.

I love them so much

FINALIZED CONCEPT FOR THE TERRIBLE TWINS!

NAME: Fortissimo and Pianissimo; SM-1023 and SM-1024

NICKNAMES: The Terrible Twins, The Mayhem Maestros, Thing One and Thing Two (Paralipsis), The Dynamic Duet (Tremolo)

ALLIANCE CLASS: Speakermen; Small Units (they are second shortest in the group)

WORK CLASS: Unknown; Sonar Experts at Outpost 51 (They kind of just showed up and the Supervisor gave em a job)

GENDER: They/Them

CLASSIFICATION: Artificial Mind (Non-human origin; presumed)

RANK: Communications Specialists

Not much is known about the background of Fortissimo and Pianissimo and when asked, they usually just give a submissive strong. The two are mutes, by choice as they are not deaf and have nothing physically stopping them from speaking, they simply seem not to want to.

The two tend to either be interested in something or dismiss it, as noted about how they slack off completely with their actual jobs and usually focus on their interests in fashion, music, and gaming instead. When they must, they are able to hold their own in a fight, although are noted to be experts in traps, sabotage, and breaking into places they aren't suppose to be in.

(MORE LORE UNDER THE CUT! <3)

The Twins have a deep love of classical music and any music that doesn't really have words to it, often picking out certain classical pieces to assign to people as "theme songs" to play when they see someone.

Both are accomplished musicians, both composing and performing their own music. Both have a preference for the violin, but are also known to be able to play piano, various percussive instruments, cello, bass, and guitar.

It is not uncommon for Outpost 51 to be filled with the calming sounds of symphonic music as the two work out their latest works on their breaks and in the evenings.

The two never speak, having selective mutism, as there is nothing physically wrong with either one to prevent them from speaking. Occasionally one may hear a chuckle or hum. Still they prefer to speak, if at all, in sign language, and even then very rarely. The two tend to stare at people or play snippets of classical music to convey things.

Although at first glance, they may seem identical, they are not entirely so. The biggest difference is that Fortissimo is LEFT handed and favors the left side and Pianissimo is RIGHT handed and favors the right side. They always sand with Fortissimo on the left and Pianissimo on the right and seem very strict about this. Also Fortissimo plays music louder and Pianissimo plays music softer.

The two love fashion and do the laundry for Outpost 51 to make sure everyone's clothes are mended, cleaned, folded, and pressed. They even have a special cart they push around for "fashion emergencies" when they spot someone in need of "fashion help". They have been known to corner visitors and clean up their fashion tastes.

The two are very good at setting traps and sabotaging systems. When they don't want to work, they are known to break the sonar system from time to time and play innocent. They sometimes sabotage systems for fun as well as setting up traps. The traps though are usually harmless pranks. However, they are very capable of setting far more lethal and gruesome tests if they feel there is a danger.

They are rather small for speakermen, being slight of frame and height. Only Medic is actually shorter than them, but that is by a mere inch or two.

The two do everything together or not at all. Trying to get them to do separate tasks makes them upset and agitated. They just have to be on the same task, even if that is out of sight, they seem to be able to know what the other is doing at all times.

Their violin bow is actually a weapon that is a glorified electric bug-zapper of a weapon that can leave poor alliance members with a very nasty sting or unconscious and they know how to use it if they get pushed.

They are terrified of Paralipsis and never put up a fuss about his orders and often are on call to get the supervisor up and presentable for meetings when he bothers to do his job. In return, Paralipsis doesn't really care if they do their job or not. This means they usually are playing video games while they should be working.

The two love to clap for "encouragement" when they see someone really mess up. The general understanding is they are being entirely sarcastic.

They are known to be neat freaks and punctual about times, often giving long silent stares at those who show up late or make a mess...except Paralipsis. The Supervisor can do what he wants as long as he doesn't show up.

I cannot express how much I need this in my life. I cannot express how much I think about this. I like to imagine Speakermen like to live their lives like it's a musical, so,

Speakermen working, doing upgrades/repairs on Titan Speakerman, to the beat of "Harder Better Faster Stronger" (And obviously dancing while doing so)

And I mean the OG soundtrack only. Not the inferior remixes.

[getinthebox]

feel free to correct me on timeframe/ect but i think in a better non apocalyptic world the skib objectheads would just be chillin around picrel . cant explain its just they have a similar aura to them yknow ? this is their habitat. this should've been their home.

Speakerman HCs

(There do be mentions of tickles here so if that’s not your shit kindly scroll/exit my blog)

• The part where their speaker-head and neck merge/form together are extremely sensitive/ticklish. This goes for the whole faction, including the woofers and titan speakerman. (So if you just poke one in the neck they would just react like the image below)

(They definitely squeak)

• The speakermen like to take random sticky notes they find in abandoned/destroyed houses in the city and randomly slap them onto the tvmen and cameramen’s lenses and/or screens, and then mischeviously run off, leaving the poor victim confused. (They also write or sketch random things in the sticky note, like a smiley face or a lil’ message.)

• They like collecting old things like toy model cars, figurines, and baseball/basketball cards. (Titan speakerman collects regular-sized cars since they look like model cars to him, and lets some speakermen and maybe a woofer get in the car and then just pushes them around for pure enjoyment when they’re bored)

• They(meaning the regular speakermen and the woofers) like to annoy their titan from time to time by blasting random music when they least expect it, and sometimes the woofers(usually 3-4, maybe 5) decide to gang up on poor titan speakerman and wreck the absolute shit out of his ribs, stomach, neck and waist. (They also do this when they sense that their titan is sad. Like after titan speakerman got un-infected, they all just ganged up on him and wrecked his shit).

• They like to watch the sunset together(like sometimes after a hard, tiring day, Titan speakerman would pick up some of the woofers and regular speakermen by holding them in his arms, then take them to a quiet place somewhere and then just watch the sunset until they fall asleep).
