[TCPDEX] TCP Comunication Network

[skinstealer]

Welcome to the Official Chatroom of Hoopla's TCP Research Facility! As a former specimen of the facility, you have been granted access to this chat, meant to encourage communication between TCPs just like yourself. You'll have plenty of common ground, and this chat should ideally serve as a great resource for sharing research and coordinating cooperative efforts.

Please remain civil, keep it clean, and remember to treat your peers with respect!

[GRINNWORKS_INVENTORY_TERMINAL]: Did I click the wrong link again?
[GRINNWORKS_INVENTORY_TERMINAL]: Shit.

[DIRTY_IMBECILE]: There we go, much better.
[DIRTY_IMBECILE]: That was rather unprofessional.
[DIRTY_IMBECILE]: I haven't quite gotten the hang of using the inventory system here at Grinnworks.
[DIRTY_IMBECILE]: At least I figured out how to get into here thanks to my inability. : )-<

[skinstealer]

[TASTY_TREAT]: hi!
[TASTY_TREAT]: you're the second person here! if i could get you a prize i would but alas
[TASTY_TREAT]: i cannot cook delicious prizes for people over the internet

[victorianflorist]

[DIRTY_IMBECILE]: No, you, unfortunately, can't.
[DIRTY_IMBECILE]: I could use some baked goods about now, business is really slow in the shop rn.
[DIRTY_IMBECILE]: And Happy won't be back till nightfall.
[DIRTY_IMBECILE]: So I'm stuck checking backorders.

[Coral_Cronch]: Oh good, I do have internet access for now.
[Coral_Cronch]: I thought the claim I would in my current whereabouts was false.
[Coral_Cronch]: I apologize for the name, I didn't know what to do and Kringle swears cronch is a funny word.
[Coral_Cronch]: Do tell me if it's secretly offensive, Kringle's humor isn't always... decent.

[SHINY_SILICON]: Hello! How is everyone?
[SHINY_SILICON]: It is a school day so the museum is fairly empty right now.
[SHINY_SILICON]: At least it gives me time to chat.

[skinstealer]

[TASTY_TREAT]: oh!! so many new people!
[TASTY_TREAT]: i wasn't sure how many people got out of the lab yet, let alone took the research jobs
[TASTY_TREAT]: my name's hazard

[seppawku]

[CHENILLE]: Hello everyone! I was found housing fairly quickly.. is it the same for you all?

[cosmo]

[SHINY_SILICON]: Oh! I forgot to specify, its Clarice!

[skinstealer]

[TASTY_TREAT]: i was one of the first people shipped out
[TASTY_TREAT]: so i've been on my own for a while, i just live for a housing project vs like...in somebody's house
[TASTY_TREAT]: my place is really small, but i don't mind much. it has everything i need

[AceOfNothing]

[CORAL_CRONCH]: Trevor. And we are currently in a house at least.
[CORAL_CRONCH]: It took longer to get somewhere then we expected.
[CORAL_CRONCH]: Lumikki had planned to have us stop in Hearth originally, but their contact is... unavailable it seems. They are rather upset. We moved quickly to a different contact, I don't think they're grieving properly.
[CORAL_CRONCH]: We're on the beach, in Hoopla I believe.

[victorianflorist]

[DIRTY_IMBICLE]: I'm Clive.
[DIRTY_IMBICLE]: Like Clove with an "I".

[cosmo]

[SHINY_SILICON]: "Grieving"? You mean...?
[SHINY_SILICON]: Just what line of work have you ended up in, Trevor? Do you need me to come rescue you?

[AceOfNothing]

[CORAL_CRONCH]: No no, we appear to be safe for now. Lumikki assures me of this.
[CORAL_CRONCH]: Unfortunately this happens sometimes with wizards. Either a duel went wrong or someone hunted down their companion. 
[CORAL_CRONCH]: I don’t have the full story, so you’ll have to pardon my hesitation to talk about it. Lumikki is really trying to move on from this, but they are hurting. Have not taken it out of me or Kringle at least.

[seppawku]

[CHENILLE]: I forgot to give my name ;;
[CHENILLE]: I'm Trice, it's nice to meet you all
[CHENILLE]: Other TCPs have started moving in here, but none of them are also from the facility, so I'm not sure how to talk to them sometimes
[CHENILLE]: Do any of you have that problem?

[skinstealer]

[TASTY_TREAT]: i actually tried to make a friend the other day!
[TASTY_TREAT]: well, i guess i succeeded...it's a little weird now though, considering the situation
[TASTY_TREAT]: i feel like they really rely on me and have so many questions about what i do, where i came from, everything
[TASTY_TREAT]: and sometimes it's really hard to answer!

[cosmo]

[SHINY_SILICON]: What a dilemma.
[SHINY_SILICON]: I hope it is going well for you.

[skinstealer]

[TASTY_TREAT]: well things got even more complicated now
[TASTY_TREAT]: there's a new neighbor sponsored by the housing project i'm a part of, but she's, uh...
[TASTY_TREAT]: aaaaggresssive? is a word for her? i feel rude saying it but god she makes me uncomfortable
[TASTY_TREAT]: wait
[TASTY_TREAT]: i really hope she doesn't get an account on here actually haha shit

[SNAP_TRAPPER]: HELLO
[SNAP_TRAPPER]: AM I DOING THIS RIGHT
[SNAP_TRAPPER]: WAIT A SEC IT WASN'T DOING THAT BEFore
[SNAP_TRAPPER]: oh i see. caps lock was on. sorry
[SNAP_TRAPPER]: give me a sec

[SNAP_TRAPPER]: okay Ren doesn't know too much about how these work either but I have learned the basic basics of using a computer
[SNAP_TRAPPER]: I am Flicker, and to answer your question, I am the only TCP Ren has
[SNAP_TRAPPER]: they said we'd be getting a new friend soon though
[SNAP_TRAPPER]: I don't know how I feel about that, but I guess I can't feel too badly if it means someone gets a good home
[SNAP_TRAPPER]: they said her name is Rosalyn, unless she wants to change her name when she gets here like I did, and that she's a knight
[SNAP_TRAPPER]: hopefully she won't upset the peace Ren and I have
[SNAP_TRAPPER]: we're going to go pick her up from town now
[SNAP_TRAPPER]: be back later

[SNAP_TRAPPER] has logged on.

[SNAP_TRAPPER]: hello all
[SNAP_TRAPPER]: so the last time I was here I mentioned we were getting another TCP
[SNAP_TRAPPER]: uh
[SNAP_TRAPPER]: well first she changed her name to Trophy while we were heading home
[SNAP_TRAPPER]: and as soon as we showed her to her room and mentioned that the woods were dangerous, she ran outside
[SNAP_TRAPPER]: Ren followed her at a distance to make sure she's safe but I'm confused
[SNAP_TRAPPER]: she's pretty weird
[SNAP_TRAPPER]: seems to be hellbent on hunting terrors, for some reason
[SNAP_TRAPPER]: has an eyeball as a cloak clasp
[SNAP_TRAPPER]: I get the feeling she's going to be out there more often than she's gonna be home
[SNAP_TRAPPER]: there's no shortage of spooky stuff to kill out there, so
[SNAP_TRAPPER]: I guess that's good for me
[SNAP_TRAPPER]: I have no idea how to deal with her when she is home though
[SNAP_TRAPPER]: she barely registered my existence
[SNAP_TRAPPER]: which is fine with me, but we're going to be living together
[SNAP_TRAPPER]: she should know more than just my name

[skinstealer]

[TASTY_TREAT]: sounds like your new roommate is from the same program as mine...
[TASTY_TREAT]: does yours talk about a past life?

[aeshihowl]

[SNAP_TRAPPER]: on the way home, she did say she missed "North?"
[SNAP_TRAPPER]: or something like that
[SNAP_TRAPPER]: maybe her home is further north than Luxson
[SNAP_TRAPPER]: I don't know
[SNAP_TRAPPER]: she's not very talkative and I'm not one to pry
[SNAP_TRAPPER]: Ren has been giving her space so I'm doing the same
[SNAP_TRAPPER]: I hear her talking in her room sometimes when I walk past
[SNAP_TRAPPER]: agitated rambling, too low to make out except when she shouts at herself
[SNAP_TRAPPER]: I'm kind of worried about her
[SNAP_TRAPPER]: she doesn't seem like a danger to us or herself but she does talk about killing monsters a lot
[SNAP_TRAPPER]: says the eyeball on her cloak is a prize she extracted from the head of some sea monster
[SNAP_TRAPPER]: what sort of stuff does your new roommate talk about?

[skinstealer]

[TASTY_TREAT]: uhHHHHHH WELL
[TASTY_TREAT]: i don't really know how to say this without causing alarm, especially if she ends up getting an account here or something
[TASTY_TREAT]: but she talks about, well...hunting people.

[cosmo]

[SHINY_SILICON]: WHAT

[skinstealer]

[TASTY_TREATS]: YEAH I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT THIS ONE

[cosmo]

[SHINY_SILICON]: THAT’S CERTAINLY DEFINITELY NOT GOOD. DO YOU NEED HELP.

[skinstealer]

[TASTY_TREAT]: i...i don't know?? all she's really done is go into my garden and pull up all my vegetables...which, you know, not great
[TASTY_TREAT]: and as far as i can tell she hasn't actually killed anyone yet, she doesn't have marks or anything
[TASTY_TREAT]: but you know hearing about people being hunted, and how enthusiastic she is about it...
[TASTY_TREAT]: it worries me a lot

[cosmo]

[SHINY_SILICON]: Maybe we can make a plan for what to do if she tries to hurt you or someone else.
[SHINY_SILICON]: Would that make you feel safer?

[skinstealer]

[TASTY_TREAT]: yeah, maybe...
[TASTY_TREAT]: she's a slime type, i can say that much, and she calls herself some kind of terror-y thing
[TASTY_TREAT]: which as far as i can tell she isn't, but i guess she's not hurting anyone with that specifically

[aeshihowl]

[SNAP_TRAPPER]: uhhhhhh I think worry is a very healthy and normal reaction
[SNAP_TRAPPER]: is she a horror, maybe?
[SNAP_TRAPPER]: I saw some TCPs like that out in the woods
[SNAP_TRAPPER]: they had the scariest aura I've ever seen, and they were all mutated somehow

[skinstealer]

[TASTY_TREAT]: she wears this terror costume everywhere
[TASTY_TREAT]: but i've seen her take it off and she's a normal slime type underneath, no marks or mutations or anything

[Pichi2214]

[POTATO_CHIP]: Oh god, past lives? I didn't... even know that was possible
[POTATO_CHIP]: Maybe... she's been a horror in her previous life then...?

[skinstealer]

[TASTY_TREAT]: yeah, apparently it's a thing with the latest batch of TCPs the lab's sending out
[TASTY_TREAT]: which i don't judge at all because like, sure, i've heard weirder
[TASTY_TREAT]: hell i've seen weirder on research missions
[TASTY_TREAT]: but regardless of past life or not, this TCP freaks me out
[TASTY_TREAT]: and if she really was something weird in her past life idk
[TASTY_TREAT]: this stuff makes my head hurt, haha

[cosmo]

[SHINY_SILICON]: How’s your living situation set up? Is whoever you’re with aware that she’s acting threatening? Or I guess if you’re in apartments whoever’s in charge of the apartments...

[skinstealer]

[TASTY_TREAT]: we have separate houses in the same, like...gated neighborhood?
[TASTY_TREAT]: she lives a ways away from me too, but she always passes by when i'm fishing at the local river
[TASTY_TREAT]: i guess i could talk to the people who run this, but idk
[TASTY_TREAT]: they had to be matched to her, didn't they?

[AceOfNothing]

[CORAL_CRONCH]: I don't think you should worry too much about it unless she does grow violent.
[CORAL_CRONCH]: Be cautious, but don't let her ruin your own fun.
[CORAL_CRONCH]: Being a bit strange isn't a crime.

[allhallowed]

[LITTLE_FANG]: Hello?
[LITTLE_FANG]: Oh finally!
[LITTLE_FANG]: Setting up a connection from here to the rest of Morbit was a bit of a challenge but I really do love it here! I just love it more with an internet connection.
[LITTLE_FANG]: Sure I can send my reports through mail but that takes too long for actual conversations.
[LITTLE_FANG]: So how is everyone?

[skinstealer]

[TASTY_TREAT]: oh, i just got something cool in the mail! like, really cool!
[TASTY_TREAT]: y'all will probably get yours soon...i guess we're going to have the chance to meet up!

[aeshihowl]

[SNAP_TRAPPER]: sounds like the type of creature that Trophy likes to hunt...
[SNAP_TRAPPER]: I guess for good reason, then, if she's homicidal
[SNAP_TRAPPER]: is it safe to ask her things?
[SNAP_TRAPPER]: like why she has such bloodlust?
[SNAP_TRAPPER]: does she want to hunt just regular people or specific people?

[skinstealer]

[TASTY_TREAT]: she does seem fixated on this other TCP that spawned with her, but they got moved to other housing
[TASTY_TREAT]: like, she'll talk if you ask her things, it's just kind of unpleasant to hear her get hyped over this stuff

[allhallowed]

[LITTLE_FANG]: Hey I think I missed something
[LITTLE_FANG]: who are we talking about?

[aeshihowl]

[SNAP_TRAPPER]: we're talking about tasty_treat's new roommate
[SNAP_TRAPPER]: do you know much about the other TCP?
[SNAP_TRAPPER]: maybe that has some hints about why she's like this

[skinstealer]

[TASTY_TREAT]: no clue. i heard her name once but i kind of forgot...had too much else on my mind.
[TASTY_TREAT]: all i can remember is that she's some kind of teddy-bear type. i can't help but worry about a TCP like that holding her own against this other TCP...
