TCP: RECOVERY SESSION

[Pichi2214]

oh also with a warning to alto and the potential new friend:
I wanted to do this in the last update but i didn't get around to posting before it, so I'll do it now. I want to make a little nature room so to say, where there are all kinds of plants and stuff, since even if we are in space I want Alto to know plants/nature!!

[Clockwork Citrus]

i like the idea of marimo type

[Orange Juice Goose]

I like the moss ball/marimo idea but more of the nature type side. I think we should think a bit more on synergy bonuses for future team members but we should in no way be limited by them.

TEACH: Writing

You explain to Alto that a diary is a book that she can write anything she likes in. Some people like to write their secrets in them, others put in little details about their day, and some people just like to doodle in them... What she wants to do with it is up to her! You promise her that you won't ever read what she writes without permission. This is something she can count on being just hers and no one else's. You also ask if she would let you know which of the books she liked best once she gets the chance to read them all. You tried to give her a variety of genres and topics so that you can know what sorts of books she'd like most for future book-gifting ventures! Alto says that she will let you know.

---

You tell Alto about a few ideas you had for improving the base; a shag rug for her room, some games for her console, and a greenroom where TCPs can get to know plants and nature. Alto thinks these are all good ideas, but she's worried about her new friend getting overwhelmed like how she had. The games and rug should be okay since they're small, but she'd rather wait on the greenroom for a bit. Maybe once your new pal is settled in, you can dedicate it to them! Like a gift! Also, it might help them get used to objects popping into existence like that once they have time to get used to being alive and are properly warned about what's going to happen beforehand. Alto's been thinking of lots of ways to make sure her new friend's first moments are better than her own!

You decide to go ahead and create the things that Alto okayed real quick before spawning your next TCP.

CREATE: Colorful shag rug, video games ("Wipeout's Skater Pro 2" and "Cooking TCP")

SPAWN: Marimo type

A marimo type TCP appears!

They sit down on the floor outside of Alto's room. It seems like they're waiting for something to happen.

NAME: Cross-stitch
TEACH CROSS-STITCH: Speech, Reading

Oh, and be sure to tell Alto that her new friend is here!

[seppawku]

NAME: adagio
but ^^ speech and reading! we shouldn't teach them anything they don't absolutely need yet, but definitely tell alto about them.

[nonexistentPumpkin]

>NAME: Tenor

Also thirding teaching speech & reading!

[victorianflorist]

NAME: Appalachia

[Pichi2214]

I second >NAME: Tenor
also >CHECK Tenor

I would start by greeting them, >TEACH: speech, introduce them to being alive and explain how things work (aka the teaching and creating)

[Clockwork Citrus]

name tenor

TEACH tenor. Friendship

[RedGreenBlue]

Tenor is a good name.

[cosmo]

NAME: Tenor
CHECK: Tenor

Tenor is a MARIMO TYPE TCP. Currently they are doing pretty okay! They are waiting to see if anyone will come to greet them. As a NATURE TCP, they are made entirely of their typing and lack fluid.

---

You greet Tenor, telling them that you're about to teach them some things you think they will find useful. They don't respond at all, probably because they don't know how to yet, but you get the feeling they heard what you said.

TEACH Tenor: Speech, reading, friendship

Tenor thanks you for these skills! They feel that they will end up being rather useful indeed.

---

You let Alto know that her friend is here and she comes running out of her room. Upon seeing Tenor, she flings her arms around them in a hug.

A wordless second passes and then Alto steps back. In shaky clicks, she apologizes. She's so sorry! She doesn't know what came over her! She was just so... happy. To see them. And she couldn't stop herself but she shouldn't have done that! Is Tenor okay?

Tenor makes a squishy sound not unlike laughter. They say that it's fine with them, but she should probably ask other people first in the future. Alto hastily agrees, looking quite embarrassed.

After a pause, Alto tells Tenor her name and welcomes them to the station. She really hopes that they'll like it here. Tenor thinks Alto is a wonderful name! They introduce themself as well, adding that they are sure the two of them will get along fabulously.

Oh, and Sombrous is around here somewhere. Alto gestures vaguely in the direction of the sleeping cap. Tenor can put that on and talk to you if they'd like. You're a lot bigger than them though, so Tenor shouldn't be surprised! You're a little scary but not really worth being afraid of... Alto means that as a compliment! Really! Tenor makes their laughing sound again and says okay.

[seppawku]

!!!!! let's greet tenor properly! maybe not as, enthusiastically, as alto, but it'd be nice to ask if they want a hug when they put the cap on. i love them

[Orange Juice Goose]

I would like to greet Tenor properly while we have a good chance. Things tend to get out of control when TCPs are involved so we should do it now.

[1011686]

>Create telescope.
Ask Alto if she could would be ok with having a look around the stars while we talk to Tenor. There should be other people here too, or at least there will be soon. They'll probably be far off in the distance though. (I assume from what we've seen so far that we're on some variety of floating island, is that right?)

[Pichi2214]

I second greeting our new little friend properly and offering a hug!!


And with a small warning to the cats:

>CREATE: green room

Tenor's own little room with many plants, probably some small marimos and a pond! Also it has wateproof beanbag chair for relaxation
They are also definitely allowed to say if they prefer a different room, if so then this will just be a general relaxation room!

[King-Clod]

Oh yeah! Tenor's room!
I'll second Pichi's idea for a little pond, waterproof beanbag chair, and small marimos, with a few adjustments.
The outside of the room should be a blanket fort, like Alto's room, with the blankets on the outside in a fashion resembling a flower bud.
It should also be next to Alto's room, with a patchwork fabric zipper door connecting the two.
The light in the room can be one of those lights made resemble the sun's rays, since I don't think the distant lights of other stars will be enough for any plants we ight try to grow in there.
Let's add in a stereo system as well, both the amplify the room's relaxation potential, and also because music helps plants grow! It's waterproof, of course.
Lastly, a stepping stone path so that other TCPs can get through without falling into the water, I think that should be good!

[seppawku]

^^i like the plant room and all the details as a relaxation room!! i think we should wait to do anything for tenor's room at all til we talk to them though ;;

[cosmo]

CREATE: Telescope

Alto gives you a look and you realize that you had forgotten to warn her before creating the telescope. She glances at Tenor, who doesn't seem to have noticed or minded, and relaxes a bit. Seems like at this point she was more worried for Tenor's sake than her own. You ask her if she wouldn't mind taking a look at the stars for you and she begrudgingly agrees. If you need her help that badly, she guesses she can give it a try.

Alto reports that there is absolutely nothing interesting out there except for the stars which are very pretty but aren't exactly doing much. There is a small green dot that is moving a bit, she'd think it was a weirdly shaped star if it weren't for the moving part. It's still pretty far away though.

---

You give the kitties a heads up and make Tenor's room.

CREATE: Greenroom with water, plants, waterproof beanbag chairs, and a tunnel connecting it to Alto's room

Tenor thanks you, saying that their room looks lovely! They'll explore it soon but first they'd like to get to know you a bit better, if that's alright by you. They slip on the sleeping cap and appear in your patchwork room, waving at you cheerfully.

[seppawku]

hi tenor! it’s nice to meet you, we’re sombrous! if you want anything in specific we can try and make it, or just talk for a bit—?
