[TINY CAT PEOPLE] VOID SESSION: ACT 4

[skinstealer]

Jasper isn’t wrong- this is cruel. It’s horrible that you’re being put into this situation, and that you have to do this to Spit’s TCPs...and their concern is valid, their points are sound. It really speaks to their kindness and empathy that they’re worried about this, and you appreciate the honesty. You tell them that they can question you whenever they feel the urge, and you’d never punish them for that.

You know that trying to win trust like it’s some kind of prize feels bad, and in most situations, it probably would be. It’s rough, and it’s hard to tell if any charity is really given for Spit’s team’s sake over being given for their own. But the truth of the matter is...Jasper could choose to go rogue at any time. They could leave the team without hesitation, and that’s a significant freedom that Spit’s TCPs will never have.

The alternative to this strategy is to leave them with a sadistic monster who makes them beg for the slightest sliver of affection, and twists their minds to make them think that this is good and normal. She doesn’t value them as individuals with thoughts, hopes and dreams...they have no freedoms, not any of them. 

They weren’t even taught to speak aside from Hark, and it’s likely they don’t even know they have any choice in this at all. They’re being kept from seeking help, and frankly, they’re part of a cult. You don’t expect them to know much about cults, but you ask them to trust you- they’re bad news. And not only that, but Spit is willing to consider your team as her enemies, and she does horrible, horrible things to her enemies. Her team is going to try and kill them and everyone they love unless you do something, and god knows the extent she’ll go to.



Besides...look at this place, and compare it to the base back in the meadow. This is no home, and this is no family. This is a torture chamber that’s been created to hurt people and manipulate them into whatever Spit wants. If you leave them there with no support, Spit will only reinforce their grooming, and your hand will be forced- killing being a mercy at that point. You don’t want that.

Everyone deserves a chance to grow beyond how they were brought into this world and become something better- you’ve always wanted to give them that opportunity, and you want to extend that to Spit’s team as well. It’s up to Spit’s TCPs whether they’ll still be their friends after all this, and there’s no way to know whether that’ll happen or not...but it’d be far crueler to leave them here to be used, and you’d rather try than refuse to give them a chance of redemption. If you can help them see their own self worth and get them away from Spit, their life will be truly theirs. From there, they can make whatever choice they want, even if that’s going rogue and never speaking with them again. 



This is a terrible situation all around. Spit’s TCPs deserve better, and it’s going to be tricky to get them away from something they may not even realize is bad. They might have to go against the enemy team’s wishes to get them help, and there’s a chance that they might be too far gone by the time you try. But this is something that you have to do. You can’t just let them be hurt here.

Does that address their worries? Can they think of any ways of going about this that would be better, less hard on Spit's tcps?

Jasper lingers on this massive dump of information, taking it all in. Well...this is a lot to process, and they’ll definitely have to think about it. 

Do you really think there’s hope for them? For everyone to get out of this okay. Please, be honest.
