Absolutely! They have our blessing.

They may want shoes if they're going on a journey, lets give them a crocs catalogue so they can pick some out

i don’t see why not? we should check in with them about spawning some equipment for the trip, whatever they ask for / to give them a heads up

You decide to check in on the kitties to see what they've been up to while you were talking with Limestone.

[Image: panel_88.png]

You tell Alto and Tenor you're off call with Limestone now. They are curious, asking about Limestone was like. You think for moment, then say something along the lines of "a bit strange, but well-intentioned." The two are satisfied with that brief explanation, as it seems they have a proposal for you.

[Image: panel_89.png]

The twosome enthusiastically explain that Gumby has been telling them about adventures; journeying away from the base and into the unknown. This sounds like the coolest idea ever to them, and they'd really like to go with. They'll even be careful, Alto promises. So please, can they?

You think for a moment about what questions you might still have but only come up with one thing that feels like it can't wait.

LIMESTONE: I-Okay, yeah, I can work with that. You have to promise though- if I tell you to take your TCPs and hide, you’ll listen. Got it?

SOMBROUS: Got it.

LIMESTOME: So what are you thinking of for your set-up so far?

SOMBROUS: We’re hoping for a passive run but I think we should um, still prepare for the worst anyway. Maybe only use force if necessary or plan big defenses and pacifying methods?
 
Limestone nods.

So this whole game, its kinda like being a mayor or a leader. You can't protect your TCPs from everything. You can only really prepare them. I'm worried that our cats might have some trouble, this is a lot for us to take in. I'm worried we aren't strong enough ourselves to support them through this.
Posted by King-Clod - 12-03-2020, 10:19 PM
I'm... not sure how we're supposed to "not fuck it up" if I barely know what I'm doing. I know probably the last thing you wanna do right now is hand-hold a newbie throughout this whole process, but you're going to have to tell me what to avoid, what not to do, and so what. If the likelihood is that we'll have a violent session we have to start preparing now, right?
So really, I really need to know. Do you have any advice for if worst comes to worst? Actual advice. I want to be more than a liability to the team.
Posted by cosmo - 11-29-2020, 12:13 AM
You feel a pang of regret over sharing your TCPs' types so freely but you push it aside again. Maybe you'll be more careful next time but for now, what's done is done. What worries you most right now is what Limestone is implying... will you really have to fight?

LIMESTONE: It kind of depends on who you're playing with but generally it only takes one player to turn a game violent versus the five whole players cooperating that you need to get a fully peaceful one. Not to say they don't happen but the odds are kind of against it.
LIMESTONE: Also... they don't have to be trying to kill your cats to be hostile. One of the worst games I've lost, not a single cat on my team died. And it wasn't my fault either!
 
It shudders.

You don't know how to respond to this. Are-are they joking? They're joking, right? But it sounds serious...

The idea of having to make our cats fight is horrifying. I don't want it to come to that. I know it's naïve, but I really hope we can all be friends. or at least people who tolerate each other without the threat of violence.

LIMESTONE: Well, not necessarily I wouldn't say. Moll's great at this game, don't get me wrong but... it doesn't have much to do with the types she picks so much as how she uses 'em. In general this game rewards creativity, so you can win with pretty much any team so long as you're resourceful enough to make it work. That make sense?

SOMBROUS: Oh.... Yeah, I guess so.

LIMESTONE: Not sayin' it's a bad thing either though! It's just if you rely on "good" TCP types as your only strategy you're gonna get knocked out of any violent game REAL fast.

SOMBROUS: That makes sense...

Let's give Limestone a call. If Moll said they're nice, they're probably nice.

Posted by King-Clod - 08-02-2020, 03:38 PM
Let's look into calling other players like we mentioned earlier
Posted by cosmo - 08-02-2020, 05:34 AM
CREATE: Spider-man jacket, striped pink and yellow tee, flame bandanna, extra flexible ripped jeggings, boots, patchwork pompom hoodie, black skirt, star-shaped sunglasses x2

[Image: panel_72.png]

The cats try on their new clothes without hesitation. Alto gives the room a quick lap after pulling on her boots, remarking that these seem really pretty great to move around in. Good job! Tenor's movements are more subtle but you notice them running their paws appreciatively over the soft fabric of their skirt and tugging gently on the pompoms attached to the strings of their hoodie. They thank you very sincerely for the gifts.

[Image: panel58.gif]

You turn your attention back to the godspace just in time to see your middle sticky note fade away. It appears that your reminders will automatically disappear upon being rendered obsolete. How handy!
 


You ask Alto if she'd like some cool new gear and some cool new tricks to go with it. She seems intrigued, so you explain the concept of a skateboard to her. Fully enthused now, she gives you permission to make it but says she'd rather learn how to use it on her own. Not just to avoid being TAUGHT, but also because she thinks it might be more fun that way. She'll let you know if she changes her mind about that though.

CREATE: Skateboard

Alto immediately goes to hop on the board but Tenor stops her, firmly but not unkindly telling her she should probably wear a helmet for this too. Now properly equipped, Alto positions herself on the skateboard, testing out which configuration of legs on/off the skateboard works best.

[Image: panel_74.png]

Everything seems sorted on the TCPs' front, what will you do now?
Posted by King-Clod - 07-03-2020, 04:34 PM
(I'll be linking the images since they're pretty big)

Tenor
Top: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/4...cp_top.jpg
Bottoms: A choice between black sweatpants and a black skirt, equally comfortable, depends on your preference.

Alto
Top: Seconding spiderman theme, but a bit more discreet.
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/4...Jacket.png
And a striped yellow and pink tee.
Bottoms: A choice between ripped jeans, shorts, or a skirt (all with multiple legs for Alto). I know not everyone likes the texture of jeans, so feel free to pick and choose what you want to wear here.

Oh, and,

Both
Star shaped sunglasses specially designed to fit on their heads.
Posted by Dzib 9001 - 06-27-2020, 10:31 PM
alto needs a skateboard.
ask if she's ok with us spawning cool gear for her/teaching her cool skills.
if she says yes spawn her a skateboard and teach her skateboarding.

create a comfortable nightgown adorned with patchwork patterns and a sleeping cap to go along with it for tenor

for alto, you heard the girl, she wanna be cool

Posted by cosmo - 05-26-2020, 10:53 PM
You wanted to ask Moll what type of TCP she spawned, but since she's already hung up, you decide to ask her later. Immediately, another sticky note appears to reflect that thought. Nice.

[Image: 2gLWykm.png]
 


Next on your list is to check in with the TCPs. The three cats are still happily chatting with each other; you're pretty sure they'll be content to hang out for as long as they're allowed.

You feel like making something for the cats to do together might be a good idea. You remember how much Alto enjoying riding the electric scooter, so maybe a scooter park with lots of ramps and curves would be a nice addition to the Starbound Haunt! When you pitch the idea to Alto, though, she looks at you kind of strangely. She says she isn't sure her scooter would really be able to handle curved surfaces all that well; it's kind of bulky. Maybe you could make lighter weight ones instead? Thinking about it again, you can see what she means about the regular scooter being too bulky for this kind of thing. Since Alto's okayed it though, you decide to make a scooter park for the revised scooters.

CREATE: Scooter park, non-motorized scooters, helmets

Nothing shows up that you can see and for a moment you begin to worry something went wrong, but then Alto walks over the console and starts flipping through the camera views. It doesn't take long for her to pull up the scooter park on the screen.

[Image: BKvihNc.png]
 


You glance at your sticky notes and remember that you meant to ask Tenor if they'd like you to make some clothes. Tenor says they would definitely like clothes, so long as Alto is okay with you spawning them in right now. They trust you to pick something nice and comfortable for them!

[Image: KO5WXlc.png]

You check in with Alto (again), this time about making clothes for Tenor. You get a yes this time as well, though she requests that you make her some clothes too. Something cool looking and easy to move around in, please! You tell her you'll do your best.
 


You can now create outfits for Alto and Tenor. Feel free to describe them with words or use images!

We should make something that our tcps can use together. Alto like the scooter didn't she? How would feel about a small scooter park, with lots of ramps and curves? (Do we have room for that im not sure)
If she's up for it, make it, as well as another two scooters and helmets.
Posted by knux400 - 05-12-2020, 10:10 AM
Let's take a quick look at the TCPs first and see how they're doing. If they seem content, we'll start looking for other players to call.

By the way, Moll, what type did you spawn just now?
Posted by dediles - 05-12-2020, 03:48 AM
Is there a phone book or something to call the other players? I dunno, check in the tcps, then talk to a rando and hope for the best.
