You give the orders for your TCPs to return home, and with a very drawn out group hug with their new friends, they're off.
VOIDSY: First things first, Spit knew we weren't home.
EASTWOOD: That'd be an easy guess, considering she can't create TCPs right now. None of us can until we return to our bases.
EASTWOOD: Could be she has some way of spying, but knowing her, a guess to fake you out lines up with her techniques.
VOIDSY: Some type ideas we're having…a mom type, a poltergeist type, or a phoenix type. Possibly some others if we can think them up. Still working on it. Cuttlefish is also a possibility, as are alchemist and technician.
EASTWOOD: Hm. Mom would probably work well with Dad's abilities, if I'm guessing right. It's not a bad call there, so long as they get along.
EASTWOOD: A poltergeist is a really interesting idea, so long as it doesn't try pranking you. If the ghosts where you come from are anything like ours, passing through walls would be no big deal- really useful for recon.
EASTWOOD: A phoenix…I think I'm familiar with that urban legend. I don't think any TCP is impervious to death once a kill command has been issued, but having one that can cheat it even once would be invaluable.
EASTWOOD: Alchemist, technician…both potentially useful. Less so than the others, I'd say- unless you want to go for specific skillsets. If you are looking for specifics, they'd be incredibly good.
EASTWOOD: Cuttlefish, though. I have no idea what that is. Can't really help you there.
VOIDSY: We're pretty set on the idea of a sphynx for our guardian. It's an intelligent cat guardian that tells riddles, and is quite fearsome.
EASTWOOD: Now there's an idea. No issues there, I'd say go for it.
EASTWOOD: I talked to Miller, and she's going to make some kind of sea predator. Looking forward to seeing that in action.
EASTWOOD: As for myself, I'm going with a simple construct. Made to deal with intruders swiftly and navigate the caves with skill. Easy.
VOIDSY: One of our big ideas we've been mulling over is an UNHALLOWED SANCTUARY. Possibly underground, it'd be a completely invisible zone to us gods. A place where we cannot see or command, and where TCPs themselves can make decisions and discuss. We outnumber Spit significantly, and our TCPs get along great. We might be able to sway them over to our side without Spit interfering, and nobody needs to die.
EASTWOOD: Hm.
EASTWOOD: I like this. I really dig this.
EASTWOOD: Your camp's in the middle, so that's on you to create. Nice thinking, newbie.
VOIDSY: How about matching masks? Possibly even for your TCPs…
EASTWOOD: Definitely a good way to go about it, seeing as motif stuff is a great investment.
EASTWOOD: I'm not certain on how it'd work with our cats, but it's worth a shot.
VOIDSY: And hey…can you tell Wretch we were worried when she logged off? Even if our flirting with Spit was insincere, none of our actions towards her are. We care about her.
EASTWOOD: You coming in screaming as soon as she did clued me in on that.
EASTWOOD: Sure. She could probably use that right now.
EASTWOOD: What else you got?
