Who is offering housing?

The name's Skippop!

Are you new to our housing program? If you are new, include who referred you.

I'm new! Tremor's the one who referred me.

What kind of stories intrigue you?

Mysteries, mostly. But not ones where I can guess the plot twist halfway through. And romance novels.

Why?

I like stories that make me think, and I can't think of anything better than puzzling over a mystery along with the protagonist of the novel I'm reading. And I just like romance because I'm a sap.

What kind of stories do you fear, detest, or avoid?

Dystopian/post apocalyptic novels with a romantic subplot, ESPECIALLY if it's a love triangle.

Why?

Where do I even begin? They're almost always poorly written, awkwardly shoved into what is otherwise a good plot, and it usually becomes the novel's main focus, especially if it gets a film version. Like I don't care if Generic Girl #500 meant to otherthrow the government is having a hard tine choosing between her childhood friend and a brooding loner, I want to read the good stuff! This is like, the only time I actually don't like reading romance.

The TCP you pick may want to keep in contact with the TCP they spawned with. How will you facilitate this?

Snail mail and online messaging is probably gonna be the best way to do it. If their buddy wants to come here, I can probanly arrange something safe for them.

NAME: Mince

PRONOUNS: They/Them

TYPE: OBJ (Dimensional Anomaly)

HOUSING: Mercy

NOTES: Performs well on ability testing, but seems to prefer working with their innate scrap sensitivity over aura work. Seems out of place with modern society and all that comes with it, and seems particularly startled by electronics. Prefers savory food type products, has an average energy level and socializes eagerly when given the chance. Seems confused that they are accepted in this "other world". Looks for new ways to use scraps frequently, and has come up with multiple puzzle solutions during our tests that we did not assume possible. Would do well in a housing situation where they can get socialization, no infractions with staff.

Afterglow.

Are you new to our housing program? If you are new, include who referred you.
I am new! Entropy recommended the program to me.

What kind of stories intrigue you?
I like stories about family.

Why?
I miss it.

What kind of stories do you fear, detest, or avoid?
I dislike stories in which the main character ends up isolated or alone.

Why?
I suppose I find the concept a bit scary. Definitely more "fear" than "detest" or "avoid."

The TCP you pick may want to keep in contact with the TCP they spawned with. How will you facilitate this?
By mail, electronic or otherwise. The TCP they spawn with may visit should they so choose; my career prevents me from travelling so my new... companion would have to visit Morbit unaccompanied should they wish to visit.

Once upon a time, a heartache type named Creature lived alone in the woods, hiding away from everyone. It was scared of peoples judgments, fearing its presence would only bring sorrow to those around it. It made masks out of whatever fabrics it could find, hiding its face away. No one could convince the TCP to rejoin society again, all pleas met with refusal and self-doubt. Creature assumed it would never find another friend, not ever...

A dragon type, hearing of Creature's plight, approached its hut one day. She said that she was a friend, to which Creature did not believe her- how could someone befriend such a horrible thing such as itself? The dragon insisted, saying that her name was Regal, and that she wanted to share something with it. Creature hesitantly approached the other TCP, watching as the dragon pulled out a beautiful set of instruments, all different kinds. She asked what kind it would like her to play a song with, and Creature couldn't choose- she chose a flute, removing her own mask and playing the most beautiful melody. Creature realized it had never seen or heard or experienced someone so lovely in any form, and its heart ached even more than ever, bringing it to tears. Regal stopped playing and gave the heartache type a hug, saying that if it wanted, she could stay and take care of it until it felt better...or for however long it wanted.

Who do you choose?

[RudeBuster]

I'll take Regal, please!

[skinstealer]

NAME: Regal

PRONOUNS: She/Her

TYPE: Dragon (Dimensional Anomaly)

HOUSING: Skippop

NOTES:  Performs well on ability testing, and seems to be drawn to hoarding great piles of instruments. The kind of instruments does not seem to matter- anything that can be used to make music (or in general, noise) is deemed suitable. Prefers meat-based food type products, has a high energy level and socializes readily. Has adjusted to this "new world" with ease, and does not feel much hesitation towards a new housing situation outside of the distance between her and Creature, her spawned partner. No issues with staff, aside from minor noise complaints.

No one can say where this story takes place, but it starts with a quilt type named Hannah, tasked with guarding a farm's crops from hungry beasts. Hannah was a dedicated TCP, settling into her role as scarecrow far more seriously than anyone expected her to- she insisted on stuffing straw underneath her quilt, and patching herself up with autumn colors whenever a bird pecked away at her fabric. It was a simple job, but it was hers, and it was mundane...until one day.


A strange TCP showed up in Hannah's fields without warning, dazed and staggering around- it introduced itself as Nickel, but that was all it knew about itself. It was a vessel type, and claimed that its soul was that of an angel- Hannah believed them immediately, despite not knowing much about angels in the first place. After all, it had a fancy halo, and that had to mean something special. Hannah showed it all around the farm, telling Nickel all she knew about the world. It was such a big place, and her understanding of it was very simple, but the two became fast friends, and they couldn't imagine a world without the other.

Who do you choose?

[allhallowed]

After much consideration, I choose Nickel.

[skinstealer]

NAME: Nickel

PRONOUNS: It/Its

TYPE: Vessel (Dimensional Anomaly)

HOUSING: Afterglow

NOTES:  

Performs well on ability testing, though it already appears to have a soul locked into its body, and refuses to exchange it for another. States that this soul came from another world, and belongs to an angel- tests remain inconclusive as to whether this is actually the case. Prefers mild/bland food type products, has a low energy level and prefers not to socialize. Has trouble adjusting to its new life, especially due to the fact that it doesn't have any special powers beyond the standard vessel type ability. No issues with staff, aside from a lot of questions about this "new world".

Who is offering housing?

My name is Akane Beake, please refer to me as Beake.

Are you new to our housing program? If you are new, include who referred you.

I am new, my cousin Lumikki referred me to this. They says I need some sort of research partner. They won’t answer me now that I’m sending this in though, very typical of them.

What kind of stories intrigue you?

Adventure stories, survival stories, psychological thrillers, anything that keeps me guessing. Somewhat realistic fiction mostly, although fantasy isn’t completely off the table.

Why?

I like anything that can make me think. I like second guessing myself and having to look things over and see if I missed something. I like having to keep notes on things to try and keep the story straight. I don’t like putting books down once I’ve picked them up, I probably will abandon them then.

What kind of stories do you fear, detest, or avoid?

I detest romance stories or anything too pandering. I’m not too interested in comedy honestly. I am not afraid of anything too... relevant.

Why?

It’s boring? It’s stupid? Our media is so full of romance and light “fluffy cute things” that I get tired of it. Give me something that makes me think for once.

The TCP you pick may want to keep in contact with the TCP they spawned with. How will you facilitate this?

They’ll have access to the internet, or they’ll be able to send letters. They’ll be busy though with our work here, so hopefully they aren’t too distracted by missing the other tcp. I don’t see many people here either.

On the application, a note is attached. “Lumikki said I should mention that scrap sensitivity isn’t required, but would likely help, especially with my work. They also said to mention my species, I’m sure you’re aware of the skeletal balloon animal species here in Luxson. I... think most weapons would not be a wise choice for me.”

The letter before you contains a story, complete with pictures of the TCP candidates.



In a stormy port town just west of Solitude's capital, a pair of twin types worked as detectives- Tally, the supposed "older" twin ran their modest agency, while Tori, the "younger" twin, managed records and kept track of cases and clues. The two were famous in their area, solving any case put on their doorstep- no matter how strange or bizarre. Once people started disappearing after particularly bad storms, the two were thrust into a case beyond what they could have ever expected...
 

The pair's research took them far and wide, a frantic search that finally found them at a cove's entrance, far from their home. Tally and Tori approached with their nerves fraught, terrified of what they might find- only to be greeted readily by a strange TCP, only barely recognizable as a bastard type, as soon as they entered. She introduced herself as Maiden, assured them not to worry, and welcomed them into her cove- this was where she lived, and even though it wasn't much to look at, she liked it very much. She lead the pair to a table and told them she'd bring out some snacks, she had just the thing. The twins began to relax, noting the lovely decor around the cove- where on earth does someone get all of these things so far away from society? Perhaps their research had gone astray somewhere, this couldn't be right...

Maiden hummed a little tune as she returned to the table, and only when she placed a TCP's head on the table, still alive, did the twins realize that their research had lead them straight to this unexpected siren's lair, and that they may never return.

Who do you choose?

[AceOfNothing]

I'll have to pick Maiden, she can hold her own and I doubt anything will truly haunt her. But I do hope those two made it out.... well maybe I do.

[skinstealer]

NAME: Maiden

PRONOUNS: She/Her

TYPE: Bastard (Dimensional Anomaly, Designer Modifier)

HOUSING: Beake

NOTES:  

Performs well on ability tests, much to the research team's distress. Those affected by her aura are sometimes drawn to "modifying" other living things, typically in ways that harm them...we are unable to determine whether this is an ability anomaly or just a result of her strange fixation on body modification. Prefers slimy food type products, has high energy levels and appears very social, though she has issues making friends due to aforementioned fixation. Will need a patient and tolerant housing situation, and ideally someone who can help channel her interests for good. Many infractions with staff- do not hand off to anyone who cannot handle her.

[Pichi2214]

Who is offering housing?
I am a lesser god from Tale, I currently live in the countryside of Daydream. My domains are indecisiveness and identity... hence the lack of a proper name.

Are you new to our housing program? If you are new, include who referred you.
I am new to the housing program, I was told about this by my friend Floof who already found homes for a bunch of the little cats. 

What kind of stories intrigue you?
I am very fond of stories about soulmates, who manage to find each other and take care of each other, helping each other to be the best versions of themselves and discover who they truly are, even if the world may try to keep them apart.
So stories about dear friends and finding your own identity.

Why?
I am generally intrigued by how people figure themselves out and enjoy seeing them be happy with how they present themselves and what they do, probably partially due to my own domain it's just kinda... something I've always been thinking about a lot.
And for the soulmate part... I personally like to believe that there are people out there that will be there for me through all my struggles and for which I'd to the same in a heartbeat. So... I am kinda on my own quest of finding someone... or multiple someones... that are that special to me.

What kind of stories do you fear, detest, or avoid?
Stories about needless suffering, I fully understand that bad things will happen throughout stories... but just seeing the characters be miserable again and again without any good thing happening is something I can't stand.

Why?
I feel like it is kind of self explanatory. But I'll try to write a bit of an explanation anyway... I connect to characters in stories usually quite quickly, and while I enjoy a story that puts its characters through obstacles, when things just get worse and worse I just feel bad for the people in the story... I don't like when it feels like there won't be any hope anymore.

The TCP you pick may want to keep in contact with the TCP they spawned with. How will you facilitate this?
I would try to figure out where the other TCP is and at the very least set up communication with them, if possible I would also let them move in with us! If that isn't an option though I would love to arrange frequent visits or anything else that lets them keep each others company as best as they can.

The letter before you contains a story, complete with pictures of the TCP candidates.

 
The people of Fallow's Island were no stranger to knights, but a particular apple type named Mac caught many towns' attentions- they claimed to be a terror slayer, capable of felling even the mightiest terror with a single blow, despite their small size. Whether these legends were true were hard to confirm, but...some whispered of their true nature.  

Maypole, a hair type, lived alone in the jungle, her fearsome appearance making all who came across her to believe she was a terror. Many people came to Mac asking them to slay her, fearing for their lives...only for the apple type to fall in love on first sight. Maypole was beautiful to them, their teeth and wings only making them feel secure in her arms.  The two ran away from the village and into the night, travelling together as an odd but loving pair.

Who do you choose?

[Pichi2214]

I will keep Maypole... I hope to one day reunite the two of them again.

[skinstealer]

NAME: Maypole
PRONOUNS: She/Her
TYPE: Hair (Dimensional Anomaly)
HOUSING: ????
NOTES:  
Performs average on ability tests, with no particular leanings towards success or failure. Seems to find her ability without purpose, and takes no inspiration in our suggestions.  Prefers savory food type products, has low energy levels and is fairly introverted, preferring the company of her dimensional partner or a few close friends. Will need a housing situation that permits communication with her companions to avoid isolation and distress, as being on her own may be frightening. No infractions with staff, good behavior.
