ventriloquist's dummy

[Super Aggro Crag]

Theatre should have a ventriloquists dummy you can change the appearance of to various job types and character archetypes. you should be able to name the dummy (but not the names of crew members, it would give you nmessag "that'd be too confusing!") and when you hold the dummy in one hand you can use it to talk through and the words in the chat bar will come from the dummy. Taters can buy a radio activated dummy that they can name after crew members and talk through over the radio for frame-UPS and nasty rumor spreading.

to this idea, it is neato.

Taters already have voice changer that does exactly that?

[Super Aggro Crag]

Yeah but this is funnier than a gas mask. We can have both. Heck give it syndie outfit with a tiny bulldog that does 2 damage if the bullets hit you

[DemonFiren]

This is so incredibly clownish it makes me wish for job-specific traitor items.

[XDTM]

Don't restrict the name choice, just make it so if you speak over radio your voice isn't disguised. Traitors will probably prefer the voice changer for radio shenanigans.

Is this one of my best ideas y/n

[TheColdTurtle]

Yes

[Lumbermancer]

Obviously the baby clones are best.

Everyone go back and bump every idea of mine that hadn't been implemented so all the ideas get in

[Super Aggro Crag]

Bit more simple version because doing 20 variants of inhands is beyond my patience.
