TINY CAT PEOPLE: THE MAZE TRIALS

[cosmo]

whats that stuff over the bed?

[Zenthis]

push the button on the wall

[Ignispark]

Check if there is any space under the bed. Something could be located there.

[Lilium Mortem]

anything in the shelves? under the cusion? under the table? under the pillow and blanket? what's that weird panel by the bed?

Tie the blanket into a cape.

[AceOfNothing]

Jump on the bed. Touch the ceiling

[knux400]

Check out that grey box. Is there anything inside or is it just a block? Also sleep in the bed to set your respawn point.

[skinstealer]

You decide to do a once over of the room.

The shelves are empty, but there’s so much space here that you get the feeling that something is meant to be on them. There’s nothing under the cushion, and the big block towards the wall is some kind of poor excuse for a table, your mind tells you. No way to tell if there’s anything under it either, it’s too heavy. There’s no space under the bed, and there’s nothing under the pillow and blanket but sheets and mattress. 

What a boring room.

...except, of course, for the stuff on the wall.



Before you get to that of course, you jump on the bed.

This is so much fun! You’ve never had fun before in your short life, and you can’t get enough of it, you’ve got to do more of this-



You slip and smack against the button on the wall, a voice crackling to life over an unseen speaker.

INTERCOM: Welcome to your personal quarters.
INTERCOM: You have not earned any rewards.
INTERCOM: Please make an impression to earn a reward.
INTERCOM: You have two questions remaining in this trial cycle.

...okay.



You need to step on the pillow to reach the other panel, but it appears to be a chute of some kind. It looks like some unknown source can send objects to your room from here, but it’s much too steep to climb up. 

[knux400]

Those questions sound important, let's save them for when we need them. Are there any exits in this room?

[King-Clod]

Let's ask how we can go about making an impression.

[AceOfNothing]

Climb the shelves and see how high you can get. Give them the impression that you don’t care what they think, you are your own cat.

[victorianflorist]

Scream like a banshee and curse out the intercom, that's sure to leave an impression

[skinstealer]

 
You look around for exits, but the walls are completely smooth and featureless. You feel...trapped.

The feeling sinks in and you can’t help but scream at the unseen intercom, frustration building up. It’s a strange cracking sound, but its anger is unmistakable. 


 
Something comes tumbling down the chute, and opening it reveals a piece of paper, along with some scattered...your mind calls it confetti. Weird. 
  

INTERCOM: Reward given. Cycle reset.
INTERCOM: Rebellious nature noted. 
INTERCOM: Please take and use this reward, it will help you going further.

 
You grab the paper and look it over, a weird feeling coming over you as you do.

Dear Newcomer- please enjoy this new skill. You have now been taught SPEECH. You can now speak to us, and voice your requests. Thank you for enjoying another Skillset Interactive product!

INTERCOM: While some rewards are predetermined by us, especially when we deem skills are necessary to proceed, you are allowed to specify a reward when you’re able to redeem them.
INTERCOM: We recommend skill and information books to help you understand what kinds of things exist in the world.
INTERCOM: We will do our best to accommodate your requests. Should you request something that can’t fit in the reward chute, we will deliver it to your room when you are not inside. 
INTERCOM: Please respect that reward delivery may take some time in the case of us not immediately having what you’re looking for. 
INTERCOM: You have not earned any other rewards yet. 
INTERCOM: Please make an impression to earn a reward.

 


Your voice comes out for the first time, a sort of...dripping and cracking sound. It’s a lot weirder than the one coming through the intercom, but it’s yours, and you like it.
   

????: What...is an impression?
INTERCOM: An impression can be anything, so long as it gives us information.
INTERCOM: We are studying you and learning so much with everything you do.
INTERCOM: Please think creatively and act accordingly. 
INTERCOM: If you would like a hint- which we will not give you aside from questions- we recommend starting with a name and pronouns.
INTERCOM: It is very fascinating to see what TCPs pick…
INTERCOM: You have one question left in this trial cycle. 

[knux400]

Name: See
Pronouns: Any

Pick up the confetti and arrange it into a smiley face on the floor

[victorianflorist]

Name: Milk
Pronouns: It/its

[Ignispark]

Name: Lighter
Pronouns: Any

Use your question to ask why they are studying TCPs. It seems like a fairly straightforward question based on the last answer and if they're honest, then you might be able to discern more of the intent behind this facility as a whole.

[ThreadLurkingComorant]

Name: Nugget
Pronouns: Any

[cosmo]

[Lilium Mortem]

Take the little squares of confetti and make a lil mosiac

Ask why they would bring you into this world only to suffer?

[seppawku]
