Uh-huh...?

... Why do I get the impression that you don't believe me?

[sigh]

I believe you.

But you're not interested.

Not in working for someone who is allergic to saying please and I'm sorry when it matters, no. Why do you think someone whose work you treated as redundant just yesterday would jump at the chance to work with you now?

I. I didn't...??

[did I????]

I'll expand this to be longer so that there is more time for foreplay with no extra charge. I won't go over ten minutes, though.

[wait, abort, abort, I want a do over]

—N-No, that's not—

...Uh-huh?

[third time's the charm]

... I'm sorry.

[takes his phone number and holds it up]

I normally charge [this is a relatively high but still ok number] per word, but I'd rather charge per hour with you since you're so insistent on real time interaction.

[visibly relaxes]

... That's fair.

My phone number is still ctmarsh at moogle dot com, but we can meet up on Nyoom to discuss details when that's not enough.

And while you are still here, if you absolutely need to meet up in person, there is a coffee shop I like.

[not vincent's bc that one is still closed I'm told, but still. somewhere safe that she knows and which is not the HQ for the company she won't be working for anymore once she finishes this script]

—I absolutely need to meet up in person!

[fuck I really should have asked TalkGPT how to be normal]

I mean. Since my time here is limited. And I can focus better in person than over Nyoom.

[unfortunately, she believes it. writing down stuff in her notebook]

How long would you like this to be, approximately? Ten minutes?

And is it okay just to get the listener off as special service, or do you want to do more for them?

Can we make it twenty minutes?

... Just getting them off is okay. [hesitates] And then maybe whispering sweet, comforting things as they doze off to sleep.

You're not asking for a voice pack script, what you want to make is called a drama track.

But ten minutes is too short for... setup, foreplay, and climax.

I can't believe I'm going to say this, but your standards are not realistic.

... I want this to feel like the listener is being treated to something special because they're special. Not a quickie in a public restroom.

[clears his throat]

That's a different scenario.

Okay, then a quickie in a public restroom should be the voice pack material.

But I don't think that's the kind of content your management would like. They market you as premium.

[hmmmm]

How about a chance encounter at a five star hotel where I'm staying for work and my schedule is packed, but I manage to get away for just ten minutes to treat the listener to a special surprise?

That sounds good. It gives it a reason to be a specific length, which is a nice extra for people who care about that sort of thing. And it could become the theme of a series of if it works out.

That being said, you're trying to force long-form logic onto short-form content, which kind of defeats the point. This is supposed to be quick to make, easy to record, and I thought that's what you needed due to your time constraints?

... Yes, but.

My standards.
