VOIDSY: Can TCPs be knocked out from taking too much structural damage to their bodies?
EASTWOOD: Yes, they can be.
EASTWOOD: Both critical health level, status effects, and structural damage can cause loss of consciousness.
VOIDSY: What part of the body handles consciousness- like, the actual…soul of the TCP, or something
EASTWOOD: TCP consciousness is a bit complex.
EASTWOOD: Technically, it exists in their entire body- this allows a TCP to bleed out, or even have their head removed, without killing them.
EASTWOOD: So long as they aren’t kill commanded, anyway.
EASTWOOD: The more separated the body is from itself, the more strained consciousness becomes- kind of like there’s invisible tethers.
EASTWOOD: And if they’re pulled too tight, well…the tethers snap.
EASTWOOD: The TCP itself has a degree of control over which part becomes the “primary” part of their body, if they’re conscious for it.
VOIDSY: Would it be possible for Jasper to possibly sever a part of the captive’s body and carry that out?
WRETCH: jeez that’s gross
EASTWOOD: Hypothetically yes.
EASTWOOD: It’d be risky, but feasible.
EASTWOOD: You’d need to make sure the TCP is conscious enough not to become confused or overwhelmed, and consents to the procedure, but yes.
VOIDSY: Would piecemeal transport be possible?
EASTWOOD: Yes, as long as said pieces are close enough together.
VOIDSY: We can do our best to combat whatever awful things Spit’s done with the body replacement machine.
VOIDSY: There’s still the risk of mental condition of addiction, but it’s possible to isolate Seaspray for the rest of the session and have them focus on recovery.
MILLER: While I hate to admit it…that is something that’s crossed my mind.
MILLER: To me, making sure my cats are healthy is the most important part of this.
MILLER: If Seaspray ends up needing therapy, then we’ll find a way to give it.
