TEACH: Executive Dysfunction

Sorry, but there's a lot of us in this one position, so its difficult to focus and not spawn all sorts of stuff on a whim. We should at least try and honor you and slow down though.

RE: TCP: RECOVERY SESSION - MarxzVulpez - 05-27-2019

Ok, time to explain a bunch (remember that teaching to much at once can cause sensory overload)

We still need a name don't we? Some sort of Form would probably help too

"Welcome to the world Alto, or ship floating in the void as it would seem. Sorry for the mess, it would appear there's a degree of impulsiveness to all this. We'll give you a better heads-up about things from here on out."
"We can make a thing for you so you can see us directly, would you like that?"

RE: TCP: RECOVERY SESSION - nonexistentPumpkin - 05-27-2019

Building on the "lots of us in this position" thing:
>"We often just do things as we think of them, loneliness was relevant to your situation so we saw fit to teach you the concept. We should probably slow down on 'teaching' you that way, too..."

>"As for why we made you and all of this... we were prompted by the emptiness you were in previously to make things. Why a void begging to be filled presented itself to us, your guess is as good as ours."

>"And don't worry, you won't be alone for long. See that little square of fabric we gave you? Some people take tons of different kinds of fabric from all sorts of things, make them into squares, and then sew those squares together. It's called a quilt, and it's common to start making one before one has all the squares to do so. They're collected and sewed over time until the quilt is as big as or even bigger than a blanket, and that's what we're planning to do here. Every quilt starts somewhere, and you, Alto, are the first square in this one."

Teach: Reading
Create: A piece of paper with a list of skills, fields of knowledge, information about certain things, basically anything that could be taught using the TEACH command, as well as a short description of what each one is about.
Basically my idea here is that we let Alto choose what she wants to learn from the list, and only use the TEACH command once she's decided. That should avoid any sensory overload, since it gives her control over how much she learns at once.

Here are some things that could go on the list:
-Skateboarding
-Acting
-Astronomy
-Parcore
-Sewing
-Painting
-Board games
-Robotics
-Architecture
-Comics
-Biology

Idk im just throwing out random ideas. We should also say that Alto can take her time choosing what to learn, there's no rush.

CREATE: Mirror

RE: TCP: RECOVERY SESSION - seppawku - 05-28-2019

lets make sure we're TEACHing her about things rather than potentially, giving her skills that'll make her feel worse, i'm a little overly cautious i think but! seconding the list idea, and.. definitely try and explain that there's a lot of us but we'll try to stop making stuff;; she seems really overwhelmed

RE: TCP: RECOVERY SESSION - cosmo - 05-28-2019

The space station is now known as the Starbound Haunt.

TEACH: Executive dysfunction, reading

You begin to apologize, explaining that there's a lot of you so it's difficult to focus and not take every action that pops into your head. You promise to try to do better about this in the future and to give warnings before using CREATE or TEACH commands. As for why you did certain things, you taught her about loneliness because you felt it was relevant to her situation. You made her and her surroundings because the emptiness that she was in previously had prompted you to fill it. Why a void had appeared to you, begging to be filled, you aren't certain. Her guess is as good as yours. Alto clicks skeptically at this but she doesn't challenge you.

You tell her not to worry, pointing out the fabric square you made earlier. Some people take tons of little squares of fabric from all sorts of places and sew them all together into something called a quilt. It's common to start work on a quilt before all the squares are assembled; they're collected and sewed together over time, until the quilt is as big as or even bigger than a blanket. That's what you're planning to do here. Every quilt starts somewhere and Alto is the very first square in this one.

While you were speaking, Alto picked up the fabric square. She says nothing in response to your speech but she seems to be contemplating your words.

You offer to make something that will allow Alto to see you directly and Alto hesitantly agrees, as long as you promise to warn her before plopping it in.



CREATE: Mirror

Are you freaking serious?


You may now choose your form, name, and domains! Feel free to submit designs along with your suggestions.

RE: TCP: RECOVERY SESSION - RedGreenBlue - 05-28-2019

design time hype
[Image: 0wDDlpJ.png]
Sombrous, God of Rest and Connection
Motifs of Eyes and Patchwork (and tentacles?)
Notes: The eyes on the end of each of Sombrous' tentacles can display various shapes and emotions, and each is capable of carrying Sombrous' voice(s); Sombrous' does not have a mouth but does not need one to speak. Sombrous is also somewhat amorphous due to being comprised entirely of tentacles and cloth, allowing them to change their shape and overall appearance. Sombrous' name is a portmanteau of the words Sombre and Tenebrous; it also has a very similar sound to "Somnus", the latin root for sleep and the name of the Roman god/personification of sleep.


After we form:
"Sorry, that wasn't it. One moment..."

RE: TCP: RECOVERY SESSION - victorianflorist - 05-28-2019

I love Sombrous so much.

GIVE: Sleeping Cap

(My intent here is to create an item that allows us to contact Alto directly)

RE: TCP: RECOVERY SESSION - RedGreenBlue - 05-28-2019

Seconding the Sleeping Cap Communication Device.

RE: TCP: RECOVERY SESSION - MarxzVulpez - 05-28-2019

I thought the Mirror was going to be our communication device, but depending on what form we pick, something else might have a better synergy
I hope it's okay that I designed 3 different form possibilities


here's the first
[Image: 05281901092.jpg?width=321&height=393]

Name: Wyvi (why-vee)
Domains: Arcane Mystery and Mycology
Motifs: Cloaks and Very Large Hats
Design 2:


[Image: 0528190109a2.jpg?width=373&height=392]

Name: Gripvine
Domains: Plants and Robotics
Motifs: Eyes and Tentacles
Design 3


[Image: 0528190109b2.jpg?width=362&height=392]

Name: Quincy
Domains: Sky and Space
Motifs: Webs and Hands

RE: TCP: RECOVERY SESSION - seppawku - 05-28-2019

SOMBROUS IS SO CUTE, whatever we go with should DEFINITELY have multiple eyes. solidarity with alto! if i can, ill do a rough doodle later but there's my input for now (:

RE: TCP: RECOVERY SESSION - Orange Juice Goose - 05-28-2019

I don't know if there is any veto power in this collective, but NO CREATES.

RE: TCP: RECOVERY SESSION - Pichi2214 - 05-28-2019

I second the no CREATEs, neither any GIVEs nor TEACHes for now, Alto is already mad/stressed enough

Also I support the idea of Sombrous (aka the many eyes because we are many different people and also because of spiders and the softness/comfort of patchwork/dreams/connection to others), though I would not necesseraily go with that name. I would want to decide on a name after we have a final defined form through an update and name it afterwards!

RE: TCP: RECOVERY SESSION - 1011686 - 05-28-2019

I like Gripvine's design, although it needs more eyes,

RE: TCP: RECOVERY SESSION - MarxzVulpez - 05-28-2019

Thank you for mentioning that, they do have more eyes, I just forgot to outline them after I colored

RE: TCP: RECOVERY SESSION - King-Clod - 05-29-2019

To further the quilt theme we have going, it'd be neat if our god had aspects from each design submitted represented in the final form, as a patchwork square of part of the body. Something like the having the left arm of the first suggestion, the right arm of the second suggestion, etc.

Also maybe fake vampire teeth.
Not to further the quilt theme, just for goofs.

RE: TCP: RECOVERY SESSION - cosmo - 05-29-2019

It takes some talking among yourselves but eventually you come up with something that you feel fits you.

[Image: DneEsgC.png]
Your motifs are EYES and PATCHWORK. Now would probably be a good time for you to make a final decision for your name, domains, and pronouns. Remember that aside from pronouns, none of this can be changed once its decided!


After you form, you let Alto know that the mirror wasn't the device you were speaking of, and to hold on one second. She crosses her arms impatiently.

RE: TCP: RECOVERY SESSION - seppawku - 05-29-2019

hmmm i still rly like sombrous! they/she for pronouns. what kind of device would be good though...?? anything too complex, we'd have to teach alto to use, and she's already kinda upset
