Tiny Cat People: Void Session

VOIDSY: Hi.
DAD: Hey. So that's what you look like…I bet you can hear everything, huh?
VOIDSY: Yeah, we can hear.
VOIDSY: Tell us about your readiness and needs. Use your own words.
DAD: I'm really scared, Void. There's a lot of fighting ahead, and I'm scared of what might come for us. If you can make anything at all, so can the other gods, right? I just don't want anybody to die. The other TCPs…they might have families of their own, soon. We can't be the only group to have ever bonded like this.
VOIDSY: Hm.

VOIDSY: In times like this, one of us advises that you consider lashing out using jokes and humor. Watch yourself collapse into a mess of self depreciating jokes as your depression and self-esteem worsen, and you break down if you can't make any more inappropriately timed jokes.
DAD: ….
VOIDSY: Or, don't do that! Sorry, collective nature means we're…a bit terrible at this.
VOIDSY: Think about death, really think about it. You don't need to fear it, just avoid it. Make plans just in case, and we'll get it taken care of. Death is the cessation, and no story can exist without an ending. We'll do our best to keep you all safe, but we can't make promises. It likely won't be your fault, and dwelling on it won't be much help.
DAD: I guess you're right. I'll do my best, even if it scares me.

VOIDSY: We're afraid too, you know. We don't want any of you to die. You're like our precious children, and we want to prepare you for this. We're proud of you beyond belief and we love you, so, so much. This is a heavy burden to carry, and we wanted a different life for you; we wanted to make a family and have fun exploring, but this world has other plans. Some people are going to want to hurt you and it's up to all of us to protect eachother. Its okay to be scared. You're a good leader.
DAD: …Thanks. I have to tell myself that more, I think. You really are a bunch of people, aren't you? You all talk so different, but all at once.
VOIDSY: Yep. It gets a bit hectic in here, honestly. But we're doing our best. Make sure to be honest with yourself and the others, too! We have friends in this ourselves, including Wretch. She's even got a friend we can team up with, and the god we don't know might be a new friend with some luck.

DAD: When you put it like that, we might actually have a shot. Tell me what I need to do to make it happen.
VOIDSY: Your current orders are to stay defensive and bunker your area. Keep everybody rested and productive, and up the morale. What kinds of improvements or research would help?
DAD: We got plenty of weapons and supplies, any more and I'm gonna have a hard time keeping track. That said, getting the rest of us some instruments would be great- keep the morale up, as you said. We can play around with those until you need us to get rolling. Might be able to get everybody cheered up before we have to go and bust things up.

DAD: Aside from that, I wanna know more about this god stuff. I know you're all new to this too, but can you ask around and fill us in?
