[GIVEAWAY + TCPDEX RP] TCP Housing Initiative

[skinstealer]

The person who sits across from you is more than a little intimidating, but you try not to pay it any mind- it'd be rude to comment on it, even if they had a floating skull for a head.
"Well," they clear their nonexistent throat. "Welcome to Taverne's TCP Research Facility. I'm guessing you're here for our ad-" They pause for you to nod. "-regarding housing TCPs in need. We've had an exceptionally high influx of TCPs thanks to a new addition to our staff bringing...new technologies to the table, and they're badly in need of places to go. While we can house people here as research specimens, it's a voluntary position, and the majority of these TCPs are looking for different paths in life."

They slide over a folder. "In here is all of the information you'll need, as well as a few forms. They're as straightforward as we can make them, and shouldn't take too long to fill out- though please, answer honestly. This is a commitment. TCPs are people, and despite what many people will tell you, not toys or pets. You'll only be allowed to take in one TCP to start, though if reports prove your situation to be a stable and beneficial one, we may grant you the clearance to take in more. We have a responsibility here to ensure that TCPs spawned under our care are given resources and benefits...for their sake, I hope that you'll cooperate with that."

They stand up, gesturing for you to head back to the waiting room. "Leave your folder by the front desk. We'll call you up once we've matched you with some TCP candidates. Make sure to fill out every part of the form- and thank you for your interest and patience."

[cosmo]

1. Are you an individual offering housing, or do you represent a company/complex (such as apartment complexes, a community, education center, etc)?
I represent a children’s museum focused on educating children ages 5-12 on the world around them.

2. What is your name/the name of your company/complex?
The Children’s Science Museum

3. What kind of housing will you be providing?
We will be revamping a section of the volunteer break room to include living accommodations scaled for the candidate.

4. For how long will you be providing housing?
The TCP Education program is projected to be a permanent fixture of our museum; housing will be available for the entirety of the program’s run.

5. What resources will your residents have access to?
Since our exhibit is focused around TCP abilities, there will be TCP-accessible food readily available at all times. Aside from that... we have kids’ exhibits? You can drop a ball from a few different heights to “experiment” with gravity. The ball would be a bit big for most candidates though...

6. What are local job/academic opportunities?
Accepted residents will be employees of the museum. In terms of academic opportunities, the museum is dedicated to education about sciences and the natural world, albeit at a grade school level.

7. What kind of TCP types are you best equipped for?
TCPs whose abilities can be used to demonstrate natural phenomena or scientific concepts would be a great bonus.

8. What kind of TCP types are you least equipped for?
TCPs whose abilities may be disturbing for children to witness would not be a good fit.

9. What kind of TCP types are restricted/not allowed in your housing?
Any TCP who could be dangerous to expose to kids is a no-go. We don’t want any lawsuits.

10. What kind of personality would your ideal resident have?
We are looking for someone who is good with kids and can handle crowds! They can’t be shy about using their ability in front of people.

11. Why this kind of personality?
Our exhibit is meant to feature TCP abilities and allow for children a better understanding of how they work. This means a lot of interaction with children and crowds.

12. What kind of personality would be not ideal for your housing situation?
Anyone easily frustrated or overwhelmed.

13. Why?
They have to be around kids. A lot of ‘em. For many hours a day.

14. What do you aim to get by housing this TCP?
The Children’s Science Museum hopes to educate children on TCPs and their abilities. Depending on the candidate’s typing, they may also choose to participate in other demonstrations as well (for example, a fire type in a lecture on the properties of fire, etc.)

[skinstealer]

@chemtrails
You are called into the meeting room, three TCPs sitting behind glass dividers.


The first candidate introduces herself as Clarice, a collision type. She's never technically met a child, but she's a very patient kind of person, and would be more than happy to show off her ability for the sake of education! She's done plenty of practice exercises here at the research facility, and rest assured, has her powers completely under control.


The second candidate introduces himself as Wilhelm, a cosmos type. He seems a lot shyer than Clarice, but still makes eye contact- as much as you can tell with a TCP, anyway.  He speaks clearly- he hasn't experimented with his ability much, but what he has tried, he loved. He wants more opportunities to learn....and what better way to learn than to teach?


The third and final candidate introduces themself as Jerry, a slime type. They admit that their ability may not be as exciting as the other candidates, but they think they'd do well with kids- they met a few on a field trip day to the research facility, and seemed to be a hit with them!

Who do you choose?

@clockwork citrus

You are called into the meeting room, three TCPs sitting behind glass dividers.



Your first candidate offers a hand before remembering the glass between you. They introduce themself as Imogen, an invention type. They assure you that they plan on using their ability to get a job as soon as possible- that rent isn't going to make itself, and while they were just introduced to the concept, they would never want to be late on it.



Your second candidate watches you get comfortable before speaking up- her name is Candice, and she's a jelly type. She doesn't quite understand the whole "rent" thing...but she's been told she can find work easily thanks to her typing. That would be okay though, right?


Your third and final candidate is Maurice, a waterfall type. He speaks quietly but quickly, words hard to catch- he promises not to destroy anything with his ability, even if it looks dangerous...he works really hard to keep it in check.

Who do you choose?

[Clockwork Citrus]

I would like Imogen

[skinstealer]

@clockwork citrus

NAME: Imogen

PRONOUNS: They/Them

TYPE: Invention

HOUSING: Pink Point

NOTES: Performed well in all ability tests. Excels at inventing simple objects, struggles with more complex machines- though their simplistic creations are of premium quality. Prefers sweet food type products, takes frequent (but short) naps, and socializes decently well. Overall pleasant disposition, will fit into new home with ease. Expresses interest at leaving the facility for better things, but never once fought with staff or regulations.

[You may now use Imogen for TCPdex RPs! You are welcome to customize/change any details about them- they are yours now!]

[King-Clod]

1. Are you an individual offering housing, or do you represent a company/complex (such as apartment complexes, a community, education center, etc)?
I represent SC Entertainment, which will be providing the housing.

2. What is your name/the name of your company/complex?
Small Cat Entertainment.

3. What kind of housing will you be providing?
A personal mansion, with service staff to accommodate them. They will be cared for 24/7.

4. For how long will you be providing housing?
For as long as they are marketable.

5. What resources will your residents have access to?
We have a dance studio as part of each mansion, as well as a personal kitchen, stylist, and photo studio.

Weapon or Body.

10. What kind of personality would your ideal resident have?
Spunky, but cute. Someone with good character, who doesn't curse, drink, drive, or get involved in romance. None that are outright repulsed by romance, though. They also need to be resilient, able to stand long hours of dance training or signing signatures. They need to adaptable.
(We are also looking for one with some sort of gimmick, such as a catchphrase or hand sign, though this is not in any way required. Those can always be made after we take them in.)

11. Why this kind of personality?
It is what SC Entertainment requested.

12. What kind of personality would be not ideal for your housing situation?
Vulgar or weak-willed.

13. Why?
Whoever we take in will reflect back on the company. We don't want anyone who doesn't accurately portray our morals, nor do we want anyone who won't have what it takes to be a Gcore Group member.

14. What do you aim to get by housing this TCP?
A star.

[RibbonCharm]

(This form appears to be filled out with a pink glitter gel pen, and yet the writing is in extremely neat cursive)

Are you an individual offering housing, or do you represent a company/complex (such as apartment complexes, a community, education center, etc)?

I am Frailie Wander, a member of a board of directors in my community.

What is your name/the name of your company/complex?

Silver Heights

What kind of housing will you be providing?

TCP-sized two-story homes, but we also have small apartments for those who won't need so much space.

For how long will you be providing housing?

For as long as the TCP can afford rent for apartments. For those moving into the houses, they can pay a small amount every month until they've completely covered the normal cost, upon which they will own the house and can stay for as long as they wish. We offer a grace period of up to two months for those struggling to find employment.

What resources will your residents have access to?

We offer a private pool and fitness center, as well as easy access to the lake a few blocks away, with accompanying lake and boat houses, as well as a variety of hiking trails. We also offer various courts for recreational sports and an outdoor pavilion.

What are local job/academic opportunities?

We are a twenty minute walk away from a large metropolis, with many stores always looking for new blood, especially seasonals. The city holds a local college with courses made just for TCPs, especially those without much education, and may offer these courses for free depending on the TCP's income. There are also job opportunities at our amenities, especially during the summer, in exchange for being exempt from rent or home payments.

What kind of TCP types are you best equipped for?

We welcome all types of TCPs, but we believe Creature and Nature types will probably feel the most at home here.

What kind of TCP types are you least equipped for?

We will do our best to accommodate all types, but for the sake of our residents we must warn that Body and Weapon types may have a harder time "fitting in," so to speak.

What kind of TCP types are restricted/not allowed in your housing?

All types are welcome, but please take note of the warning above.

What kind of personality would your ideal resident have?

Friendly and sociable, within reason.

Why this kind of personality?

We pride ourselves on having a close-knit community, almost like a large family. Those who can't or don't try to fit in usually don't fare well.

What kind of personality would be not ideal for your housing situation?

Overly aggressive TCPs.

Why?

We don't want our other residents to feel unsafe or threatened.

What do you aim to get by housing this TCP?

We want to show that our community can support all species from all walks of life, and we do not want to leave out Morbit's littlest residents. We are hoping to bring more diversity to our family, and make them feel as welcome as possible.

[Pichi2214]

1. Are you an individual offering housing, or do you represent a company/complex (such as apartment complexes, a community, education center, etc)?
       I represent a company centered around finding homes for all kind of TCPs
2. What is your name/the name of your company/complex?
       My name's Floof, founder of the "Floofy Cat Friend Agency"
3. What kind of housing will you be providing?
       Depends on where the TCPs want to go, we work all across Taverne, building little communities and resources for the TCPs in each zone (except for Consumption, Bluster and Whimsy for the most part, we also have a remote post on Fallow's Island). The most common options are that the TCPs can live in a colony with other TCPs or move in with complexes that renovated part of their homes to house TCPs.Of course we check in with the TCPs regularly to see how they are doing, until we can be sure that they have found the right place to stay and that the people they live with are treating them right.    For special cases we work together with the greater god Quill, who leads a facility called the "Sanctuary" in Solitude, where they take care of TCPs struggling due to their abilities (resulting in many body type inhabitants), but also just TCPs in general that may struggle to adjust to living in other spaces due to experiences they had in the past, be it when they spawned or otherwise.
4. For how long will you be providing housing?
       The housing is in most cases permanent, when a TCP wants to move in with a complex it can be the case that the housing is only for a certain duration of time.TCPs are always free to leave and find homes on their own or just settle in with another colony of ours somewhere else in Taverne. 
5. What resources will your residents have access to?
       The Floofy Cat Friend Agency will provide the TCPs with what they need. In many cases the TCP colonies are self sustainable, the food types providing what's necessary for the others, form and nature types providing materials and so on, however if necessary the FCFA will help them out. TCPs can also visit courses on basic education about Morbit in case they are newly spawned.
6. What are local job/academic opportunities?
       It really depends on where the TCPs go, but if there is something a TCP really wants to do we can find a place for them, it's always a special moment when you don't just find a place for them to live, but also can help a dream come true.
7. What kind of TCP types are you best equipped for?
       Generally we handle all kinds of TCPs, though it is obviously easier to find places for TCPs willing to work with us and the community they end up in.
8. What kind of TCP types are you least equipped for?    Uncontrollable abilities and especially ones that cause harm to the TCPs around them unintentionally. A place can be found, but it is sadly always a struggle. We're grateful that the Sanctuary offers a place for many TCPs like this, but even it isn't always the right place for them.
   
9. What kind of TCP types are restricted/not allowed in your housing?
       Not really any restrictions.
10. What kind of personality would your ideal resident have?
        Willing to work with us and the community they end up in, otherwise anyone is accepted.
11. Why this kind of personality?
        We don't feel like there should be a restriction on who can and can't live here, if they want to make it work and find a place for themselves then that's all we need.
12. What kind of personality would be not ideal for your housing situation?
        Given the previous question people that are not willing to work with us, or general ill will.
13. Why?
        Cause it is hard to help someone that doesn't want to be helped.
14. What do you aim to get by housing this TCP?
        We want everyone to have a chance at finding a place for themselves here on Morbit and not having to feel lost and alone.

@king clod

You are called into the meeting room, three TCPs sitting behind glass dividers.

Your first candidate is named Gracie, an alley cat type. She's a little ragged around the edges, but it gives her a unique charm, don't you think? People these days love this kind of look, and she's willing to play up her quirkiness as much as possible! As an added bonus, she does a cute paw gesture, raising them to her cheeks.


Your second candidate is Bruno, a bread type. His patterning shines and sparkles in the light- and he seems plenty proud of it. He's not afraid to flaunt his stuff, and promises that his food type chunks would make amazing merchandise to lucky, lucky fans. He says he doesn't have a hand gesture yet, but he can definitely pull off some poses.



Your third candidate is Marjorie, a hedgehog type. They roll around before striking a pose, preferring to show off instead of using their words. They don't seem very talkative...but the more quiet types are popular. They do a wavy motion with their hands, punctuating it with a cutesy pose.

Who do you choose?

[skinstealer]

@RibbonCharm
You are called into the meeting room, three TCPs sitting behind glass dividers.


The first candidate introduces themself as Judy, a cat type. They seem very shy, but happy to be here- they're really relieved somewhere so nice is open for residents, and that they matched up...they're not the most confident when it comes to jobs, but with a housing situation like this, it'd be worth the work.


The second candidate introduces herself as Bonnie, a fantasy type. She's a lot more energetic than the previous contender, talking quickly- she's so so so excited!! They have a POOL after all, and she LOVES pools, they have one here and she got to use all kinds of floaties and- okay, she's in it for more than the pool, but that's definitely a high point.


The third candidate's name is Timothy, a morriña type. He opens with a questions- are small, personal gardens allowed? He could just keep it on a balcony or a porch or something, nothing intrusive...but if that's part of the deal, he really wants to give this a try.

Who do you choose?

[RibbonCharm]

I think I'll take Timothy!

(And yes, personal gardens are allowed).

[skinstealer]

@pichi1224
You are called into the meeting room, three TCPs sitting behind glass dividers.


The first candidate doesn't seem very confident in himself, but wants to make a good impression- he tries to stand tall and not drip all over everything. He introduces himself as Markus, a corpse type. He's heard that this housing operation is good with body types, which is kind of rare so far...he's very grateful for the chance.


The second candidate's name is Teddy, a loss type. They're surprisingly cheerful despite their appearance, greeting you warmly and saying that they appreciate you coming in. Their ability can be kind of distressing for others to think about, but they think with a positive environment, they can make great strides in reducing stigma.


The third and final candidate is Rey, a waterfall type. She keeps looking around the room, distracted- but she says that she wouldn't mind such a nice place to stay, even if this research facility has a lot of the things she needs. It'd just be better to have a place to call her own, really.

Who do you choose?

[King-Clod]

The ruffneck pinches the area between his eyes and lets out a long sigh, seemingly in disgust. "This is a... rather skim selection I must say. But, I was told not to come back empty handed, so I suppose we'll have to make do." He looks between the TCPs. "Definitely not Bruno, this is aiming to be a girl group, after all. Such a shame, too. His pattern would certainly fit the pallet." He glances to Gracie and Marjorie. "Tacky color schemes... our stylists can work around that. Subpar dance moves, but it's at least something."

Spoiler"It's a shame Marjorie is a "they", it'd be perfect for our group, we don't have a shy one yet."

"We'll take Gracie. Her gimmick is promising, perhaps we can make her the "quirky" one in the group. We'll just have to adjust Monica's demeanor, which shouldn't be difficult in the least." He chuckles somewhat, a cold and hollow sound. "She very eager to please. But yes, we'll take Gracie. We can straighten her whiskers, bedazzle her collar, the works. Perhaps if PRX goes in a different direction her ragged style would fit better, but for now she'll just have to be a...work in progress."

[skinstealer]

NAME: Timothy

PRONOUNS: He/Him

TYPE: Morriña

HOUSING: Silver Heights

NOTES:  Decent performance in all ability tests, though he has some trouble with controlling intensity of nostalgia given. Seems to do best with memories of nature, most likely due to his affinity for gardening. Prefers savory food type products, has higher than average energy levels, and socializes well, albeit a bit quietly. Should fit into a low maintenance, welcoming home. Good behavior with all staff, only wants to leave the facility if better, more relaxed offers present themselves. 

[You may now use Timothy for TCPdex RPs! You are welcome to customize/change any details about him- he is yours now!]

[skinstealer]

NAME: Gracie
PRONOUNS: She/Her
TYPE: Alley Cat
HOUSING: Small Cat Entertainment
NOTES:  Aura seems normal, performs well in ability tests. Enjoys sitting near unwitting people and watching as her aura takes effect, observing them as they become simultaneously more relaxed and more energized. Likes hunting and chasing games. Enjoys meaty food type products, has a high energy level, and is fast to socialize in groups- extremely extroverted. Will require a housing situation with heavy social interaction, and will not do well in an isolated environment. Excited to leave facility for a new life, but due to her occasional belligerence with the staff, we worry about authority figures.

[You may now use Gracie for TCPdex RPs! You are welcome to customize/change any details about her- she is yours now!]

[Pichi2214]

Floof's heart melts a bit when they see the corpse type that's trying its very best. They look at everyone and contemplate for a good while, before taking a deep breath.
"It's a really tough choice to pick just one of them, they're all lovely. But I think I will choose Markus. I know that it can be very complicated for body types, especially ones with his typing, to find a place to stay so I want to make sure he will find somewhere nice to call home."

[AceOfNothing]

1. Are you an individual offering housing, or do you represent a company/complex (such as apartment complexes, a community, education center, etc)?
   
   I am an individual, but I travel frequently with two other scrap wizards who currently wish to remain unnamed.
   
2. What is your name/the name of your company/complex?
   
   Please refer to me as Lumikki, Lumi for short. My only constant companion is Kringle, a holly/snowglobe tcp
   

3. What kind of housing will you be providing?

As stated above, I am frequently traveling. I stop often at other wizards homes to rest, but when that is unavailable I spend time camping among the stars. Yes a bring a tent, but I have occasionally had to set up a rushed shelter or hide in a cave. I hope that's still reasonable!

4. For how long will you be providing housing?

For as long as the individual likes! I would love another traveling partner (I do have one small friend with me already) but if they find somewhere they feel more comfortable, they are welcome to leave at anytime. I offer them a look at many different places in tavern, so they don't ever have to settle for one place.

5. What resources will your residents have access to?

It depends mostly on where we are at the moment. I can try to provide them with anything requested, but I cannot promise it will always be available. I'm sorry, that probably sounds really bad. 

6. What are local job/academic opportunities?

This is where it gets a bit tricky. I would, ideally, like to help a cat who is scrap sensitive learn to control their powers, or just have someone around who likes to travel. When we are stopped somewhere I can help guide them to jobs in the area if they would like to try, as we do often stop for a month or so at a time, but mostly they would have to get used to odd jobs and seeing injured people, or being in possibly dangerous places. We spend a lot of time in Hearth if that helps.

7. What kind of TCP types are you best equipped for?

Creature types, nature types, and body types will likely have the easiest time. Weapon and form types would have mixed results.

8. What kind of TCP types are you least equipped for?

I'm not really sure how most machine types would do.

9. What kind of TCP types are restricted/not allowed in your housing?

No one isn't allowed, by I do worry about who would be fit for my work. 

10. What kind of personality would your ideal resident have?

Ideally they would be adaptable, empathic, open minded, and adventurous! They also must be able to take a joke in order to deal with my companion. 

11. Why this kind of personality?

It just works better for the job.

12. What kind of personality would be not ideal for your housing situation?

I don't quite know what wouldn't work. Lazy? I feel rude calling someone lazy, there of plenty reasons why someone may not be as active as someone else. Can I just say "anyone who would like to continuously stay in one place" or is that not an accurate personality?

13. Why?

That just wouldn't be good, moving them around when they don't want to. I can't just force someone to go on an adventure.

14. What do you aim to get by housing this TCP?

I think I said this earlier, but I'd love to have another TCP companion to travel with me. If not, I'd love to just... know I helped a cat get where they are supposed to be! 


On the back of the paper, in very small writing, is a little note hastily added, the ink slightly smudged.
Oh I hope it was clear the cat doesn't have to be scrap sensitive, I just thought maybe if you had one I could help them with that. Kringle is not very sensitive to scrap, she knows they exist but can't control it. But the cat just needs to understand that's what I work with, does not have to use it themselves. Very sorry!

[skinstealer]

NAME: Markus

PRONOUNS: He/Him

TYPE: Corpse

HOUSING: Floofy Cat Friend Agency

NOTES: Does well in ability tests, but prefers not to use his ability. He seems distressed by its results, and has yet to find a practical application that he's comfortable with. Enjoys salty food type products, has a less than average energy level, and is slow to socialize with others. Any bonds he makes seem to be long lasting, however, and he's expressed interest in communicating with peers he's leaving behind in the move. Will require plenty of space to rest and be on his own, but is flexible otherwise. Worked well with staff entirely, and should have no problem being rehomed. 

[You may now use Markus for TCPdex RPs! You are welcome to customize/change any details about him- he is yours now!]
