The package is easy for complexes to miss, but just right for your size- shaking the container gets you a strange sound, and opening the box itself gets you something stranger...you've never seen something like it before. Before you can examine it further though, a hologram projects from it, a familiar skull-faced figure standing tall and poised.

"You've been selected for our Pocket Dimension Research Program, something new and exciting we're working on at the lab...the device I'm currently projecting from is vital to this program, so please, don't lose it. This device, like other equipment sent through the Research Initiative, is custom built for your typing, and will allow you to access a personal pocket dimension existing in your mind. It's believed that everyone can have these spaces, but we are just now able to access them with new technology...and allow others to access them as well.

We cannot predict what kind of pocket dimension you'll have, as anything appears possible. From our test sessions with specimens back at the lab, they appear to be based on the subconscious...tread carefully. To help you explore your own pocket dimension, we've come up with the Mission System. This system will allow you to have other candidates enter your pocket dimension no matter where they are in the world, for whatever purposes you can imagine. We do have a few recommended uses for the Mission System, but due to the versatile nature of these personal pocket dimensions, you are welcome to utilize this feature as you like. 

Included in the bottom of this package is a document with more information, as well as some guidelines for hosting and joining missions. Do your best."

• Please place the mission name in the title of the thread. This can be anything you like, so long as it's unique- this helps people keep track of what missions they've done.
  
• You need to list the TCP hosting the mission, as well as their ID card. An additional, brief description of the pocket dimension is not required, but can help people gauge whether they want to participate in that setting. 
  
• List the objective of your mission! This can be anything so long as it's achievable. 
  
• List how many TCPs are allowed to join your mission, with a maximum of four (not including your host TCP). This is called your Party.
  
• List any applicable rules for the mission, including content you'd like to avoid, and overall conduct (no PVP, etc)
  
• List any possible content warnings for the mission. Worth noting that TCPs cannot permanently die in pocket dimensions, and are knocked out of the pocket dimension if they are downed in combat situations. Still, warn for if this is a potential risk in your mission, as such things can be distressing to both TCPs and their players.

You are in a completely, utterly dark void. For an indeterminate amount of time, you simply drift, ethereal, ephemeral. Then, a tugging sensation, light at first, but becoming stronger. You are caught in something, bunched up, pushed through some membrane into a form that can feel, and smell, and hear. Your voice, your thoughts are one of many, you can hear them all, until they blur together along with yours. Your past memories and thoughts are pushed to one side, making room for a new awareness as a collaborative entity.

You are a collective…
...
...type TCP.

Well, this seems unusual.
After becoming corporeal, your mind feels both almost empty and cluttered with information, as if everything you know is just on the tip of your tongue but you can't quite grasp any of it. You even feel like you know more about your current situation than you're supposed to, somehow.

You take note of your surroundings.It's still dark, but you can now tell that it’s due to a large, warm blanket you appear to be under. It’s quite soft.
You can’t really tell anything else about what's around you, other than that whatever your lying on is comfortable as well. There are some slight sounds of movement from nearby. Maybe you should get up and walk around, see what’s what.
Or you could consider your own existence some more. You're pretty comfy where you are right now after all, no need to rush things.



(I can't really draw, so this is going to be text only. Hopefully my prose will be easy on the eyes.)

I apologize for the sudden correspondence, but we have a bit of trouble on our hands. Something went wrong with our spawning equipment, and apparently with the amount of people thinking about and celebrating Darkest Night...wires got crossed, so to speak. We’ve had a massive influx of TCPs, all of them coming with costumes of all things, sometimes accessories as well...this is completely unprecedented, and to be honest, we’re overwhelmed. We need your help- if you can take in a TCP at your housing situation, we’d be grateful...or even just a referral to somewhere else, anything will help at this point. 


Attached is a form detailing information we need from you. Once we receive the form, either from you or someone you’ve referred, we’ll send information on the closest matching TCP pair. From there, you’ll pick the one that fits best, similar to how we did for your first housing candidate, and you can either pick them up or we’ll pay for their transportation. As long as these TCPs get homes, no charge is too great. 


One last thing… all of them spawned in groups of two (hence mention of pairs earlier) and seem to have visions of other places and their counterparts, almost as if they existed together in another life. We’ll send as much info as we can along with the TCP candidate info, but they seem to take the form of stories- at least, that’s how the TCP pairs tell them. Whether these stories are true has yet to be seen…


Thank you for your cooperation. We hope to hear back from you soon.

You need to have completed all of DN-1 in the TCP Research Initiative to enter this event. This research post will be active until November 9th, 2019.

Who is offering housing?
Are you new to our housing program? If you are new, include who referred you.
What kind of stories intrigue you?
Why?
What kind of stories do you fear, detest, or avoid?
Why?
The TCP you pick may want to keep in contact with the TCP they spawned with. How will you facilitate this?

Weather clear. Environment calm.

Returned from year long voyage today. Got into harbor, immediately greeted by security forces. A misunderstanding of course, but apparently there was a suspicion that I was avoiding taxes. I'm an honest person, I would never dodge responsibilities like that. I had the receipts to prove it. I cannot help but feel Foogee had something to do with this. They are always trying to ruin my name. Have not looked for a new job yet. I'm tired.
