the void CREATES a TENT TCP.
it studies its surroundings cautiously, not that there's anything to see. the tent tcp seems rather content, even with the void having nothing to offer at the moment.

you will need to NAME the tiny cat person before you are able to INFLUENCE it directly.

>NAME: PRIMUS

primus doesn't seem to think much of its new name- names don't have too much meaning to tiny cat people. it does react when a piece of paper pops into existence- a NOTE CREATED by the void.

primus doesn't care too much for the writing on it, choosing instead to paw and bat at the piece of paper, making sharp whistling sounds when it moves.

the note feels very important, and it reads:

GIVE- sharing gifts makes the kitties happy and well! anything can be a gift.
CREATE- the void is pretty but has full of nothing! kitties can't walk or play on nothing.
NAME- naming kitties makes them unique and special! they like two syllables best.
TEACH- kitties have nothing but fluff in their heads! teaching things will make them skilled and strong.
CHECK- checking kitties is a good way to make sure everything's okay! sometimes they have secrets.
SPAWN: if you already have a kitty, you'll need more to keep them company! spawning with words helps you make more, but only if the limit says it's ok.
KILL: sometimes kitties aren't nice to eachother, or go bad along the way. this helps you keep things friendly!

Check Primus. Lets see what they want.

Create spawning pool.

>CHECK: PRIMUS

primus is a TENT TCP, which means he is a stocky, large tiny cat person. being a STORAGE TCP, he has the ability to store things within his body- in his case, he can either unzip his head to store items, or open his stomach pocket to keep any tiny cat people smaller than he is safe, and allow them to rest and restore their health. these perks give him an inventory without the need for any specific items.

primus is feeling fine and healthy, and is currently very curious about being alive and what this new life entails. he communicates through whistling, and seems very gentle. he's currently wondering what kind of noises he can make by patting and crumpling the note some more.

primus has nothing in his inventory, and is currently fine to directly influence- you can give primus commands along with telling the void to do things.

>CREATE: SPAWNING POOL

without any gravity or ground to put it, the pool materializes as a floating, shifting mass of FLUID- the life force behind all tiny cat people.

primus seems startled at first, but definitely interested in the new development, whistling at a low pitch.

Create land witha small crater for the fluid to rest in, cover the dry area with soft moss and then create a .7 earth gravity moving towards a theoretical center below

>CREATE: LANDMASS, PORTAL, GRAVITY

primus falls a little less than gracefully onto the ground, dusting himself off and hopping up with some excited, short whistles- almost like birdsong.

the moss feels fantastic on his feet, and gravity is new and exciting. he can jump and walk around now, instead of just floating- and he takes quite a bit of enjoyment in it.

primus stumbles a lot, nearly tripping into the portal for other, non TCP creatures. he's not very good at this moving around thing, but his heart's in it.

it's not as if he speaks direct english- it's still whistling, but whistling you can definitely understand now, at the very least to a basic degree.

>CREATE FENCE + FRUIT TREE

primus really loves the improvements around here- now it's starting to feel like home, and even though tiny cat people don't eat, he starts to wonder aloud what he can make with the fruit.

the bee seems to buzz aimlessly around, bumping into things. primus decides to keep it as a pet, but isn't exactly sure what to call it yet. names still don't mean that much to him, so he calls it BEE for now.

your TCP LIMIT is now 2, and a second tiny cat person could be spawned with a WORD- if you choose to do so.

>CHECK KNIFE TCP

the newcomer doesn't seem to be doing much in particular aside from standing on shaky limbs, lurching slightly, as if it were having a hard time breathing. this was improbable of course, as tiny cat people don't need to breathe.

this TCP cannot be influenced directly, as it has not been NAMED. it is a KNIFE type TCP, and as such has blades jutting out of its delicate skin. being a WEAPON TCP, it is extremely frail, and has poor health conditions. this one in particular looks especially worn out, just from its first few moments of existence.

this TCP, being knife type, can summon more blades on any part of its body, so long as it is willing to sacrifice health.

it does not have an inventory, and appears to look rather lost, and not violent at all. primus isn't sure how to proceed.

NAME: Sacha

Name:buddy

NAME: buddy

primus should wave and, if knife cat can understand, communicate that he doesn't mean it any harm!! invite knife cat to come sit under the tree.

>NAME: BUDDY

primus invites the newly NAMED buddy to sit with him, concerned about the tiny cat person's condition. he's not so sure about hugging this newcomer, even if it seems like it needs it- buddy's blades look awfully sharp, and he's not sure if he's ready to approach it that closely yet.

buddy seems kind of dazed, taking a bit to acclimate to the sensation of being alive. it cannot withdraw or dispel any blades- and any added blades will be PERMANENT CHANGES .

>TEACH BUDDY: SPEECH

buddy talks the same way primus does- without audible words or a mouth of any sort, its speech made up of grinding and wheezing sounds that seem to come deep inside its body. it says hello and thanks primus for letting it sit near him, assuring the other TCP that it won't get too close. buddy doesn't want him to feel as bad as it does.

>GIVE BUDDY: RUBBER CAPS, COMFY BLANKET, DOLL

buddy seems surprised by the gifts, standing up to lay the comfy blanket underneath it, pulling the doll safely into its lap. it seems to resemble a BEE TYPE TCP- and primus excitedly remarks that it looks just like his pet.

it's more hesitant about the rubber caps, saying that it'll wait a little bit before putting those on- they look like they might make the pain worse, but it can endure it if primus (and the void) prefer. primus says that buddy can do what it wants- he doesn't really mind so long as buddy's nice.

buddy laughs, a high pitched wheeze mixed with the sound of something metallic being crushed. it says it will do its best, and thanks the void for the nice gifts.

>CREATE: SEESAW

the playground equipment pops into existence a ways away- primus starts clapping excitedly and thanks the void for being so generous. he has no idea what this thing is, but it's new!

>CREATE: MILK-RICE FIELDS + MOUNTAINS
the land area accessible to the tiny cat people grows tremendously. there are now THREE FIELDS OF MILK-RICE PLANTS and a MOUNTAIN range to explore, though distancing themselves from the SPAWNING POOL will leave any newcomers alone if they spawn in while primus and buddy are adventuring.

primus in complete awe of the new landscape, telling buddy that the void is going to make them a home, and that the two of them can be saf here. just look at the lush fields, and those mountains! they could go exploring and find all sorts of new things, adventure was calling their names!

buddy replies quietly that it's all very pretty, but seems slightly overwhelmed by the developments. a void full of nothing somehow felt a lot less like an intimidating open space than the fields do right now, and while it peeks around the tree, it's clear it's hesitant to leave to look around.

>CREATE: SKY + MOON + STARS

the landscape is quickly complimented with a proper sky; primus applauds and whistles in appreciation, but buddy appears to be preoccupied with the fact that those stars seem incredibly close. primus assures it that there's nothing to worry about, and that they're probably a lot further away. probably.

both buddy and primus seem elated at the new toys- buddy being the first to figure out how to cap and uncap a marker, doing it over and over to make just the right kind of clicking sound. it doesn't take long for it to start scribbling on the drawing board, satisfied and proud of its simple squiggles.

>GIVE BUDDY: STRESS BALL
this should help a lot with its anxiety. buddy gives it a few hearty squeezes and thanks the void, sounding a bit more confident and relaxed than before. primus looks pretty relieved that his new friend is settling in better, and joins in on thanking the void for taking such good care of them. it doesn't seem to mind its pain so much anymore.

>GIVE: BOOKS (ALICE IN WONDERLAND, TREASURE ISLAND)
reading material! with buddy occupied playing with its toys and drawing, primus settles in to start in on treasure island. there's a lot of things he doesn't quite understand or know about yet, like pirates and treasure itself, but he reads the story aloud all the same, buddy listening carefully as it draws.

Hmmm put it on the lower right area under the spawning pool i think.

Along with the previous thing, lets make time and day and night. And if they want, they can put things that they want on the board, since we cant understand them.

Put it on the floating question marks.

lower left of this area - which i think we could just call the meadow? - and seconding encouraging buddy and primus to tell us if there's anything they want. let's also teach them the concept (?) of imagination, so they can think abstractly about things we haven't necessarily taught them.

if we're going to make day and night, we have to make a sun! let's make sure it's at an appropriate distance away so that the temperature and brightness is comfortable for the TCPs.

Whats this about a cottage?
Nuts to that, let's get a radical WIZARD TOWER up in here.

As you can see, I've put a lot of thought into this design. From the top down, we have:
-A storage space in the attic, filled with all kinds of food and necessities to help our tiny cat companions
-A bedroom, with a big circular cushioned pile for everyone to sleep on and a window to look at our rad landscape from
-A staircase, possible with some secret nooks in the walls.
-A lobby, with a writing desk for further design work
-And finally, a basement safe-spot for when there's bad stuff happening, complete with subterranean tree lounge and waterfall. Possible connection to the minecart system here too, as well as plenty of room for expansion.


And ALL of this is wrapped up in a delightful Crooked Tower design, to accentuate our wonderful new lands.

Also, can we spawn a litterbox or something? I feel like our TCP would like a spot to relief themselves.

instead of the original cottage plan, a wizard tower pops into existence at your request. the TCPs are utterly fascinated, in pure awe from their spot under the tree. the meadow feels like HOME now, and they will consider it such unless told otherwise.

the main floor is full of pillows and cushions, everything looking just right for relaxing and playing together. there's a nice couch big enough for two TCPs to share, and a hatch leading to a safety bunker underground.

the UPLOAD/DOWNLOAD machine is installed underneath the stairs, and is functional. you can change a living TCP's TYPE by uploading a dead TCP's corpse and downloading said type into the chosen TCP.

it should be noted that TCPs do not need to excrete waste- as they do not need to eat, or breathe.

can we CHECK both TCPs again? do they have any pressing/recurring needs? and also even though they seem pretty happy right now, i still want to ask them directly if there's anything else they'd like to have.

Give Primus a bedside lamp.
Give Buddy a music box.

keep an eye on our limit so we can CREATE a new friend and get them to keep buddy company while primus goes out on an Adventure

I wonder if we should TEACH Buddy how to draw?

create some sleeping bags, a lantern, and some fold up chairs in the basement. Just incase anyone ever needed to hide down there they'd at least have the basics.

tiny cat people do not have any biological needs, as they lack organs. the only way a TCP can die is to be KILLED by another TCP- at the void's request. mentally, TCPs crave the company of others, to varying degrees. some only need sparse communication to be content, but others require near constant attendance. in addition, TCPs need the void to TEACH them- they are essentially blank slates without its help, and would not know how to do anything without it. they are its children, and it will guide them towards happy, healthy lives.

>CHECK: PRIMUS
primus is a TENT TCP, which means he is a stocky, large tiny cat person. being a STORAGE TCP, he has the ability to store things within his body- in his case, he can either unzip his head to store items, or open his stomach pocket to keep any tiny cat people smaller than he is safe, and allow them to rest and restore their health. these perks give him an inventory without the need for any specific items.

primus is feeling absolutely fantastic on all counts! he communicates through whistling, and is elated to have a new friend and a proper home.

he's currently wondering what adventures he can get up to today, and how buddy is doing. he also wonders what the purpose of the large machine on the first floor is, and if he can find pirates someday, like in treasure island. he tells the void that pirates would be nice, but maybe not near the house. primus worries that pirates, while very adventurous and fun for him, would probably just scare buddy.

primus can speak, read and play pictionary; all of which are things he enjoys doing. he likes reading the most, and is excited to read more of treasure island and start in on alice in wonderland. he hasn't had a chance to try pictionary yet, but he looks forward to the chance. speech may have been his first skill, but he is still extremely grateful for it!

primus has nothing in his inventory, but can store objects in his head pouch, and smaller TCPs in his stomach pocket to heal them over time.

buddy is a KNIFE type TCP, and as such has blades jutting out of its delicate skin. being a WEAPON TCP, it is extremely frail, and has poor health conditions. buddy has three blades as of this moment- one on its head and two replacing its left arm.

buddy's health is still poor right now, despite it being able to push past the pain thanks to the void's guidance. it has trouble walking, and seems to have panic attacks over large, open spaces, and being alone or vulnerable.

buddy is wondering what kinds of things there are to draw, and if it could possibly draw ALL of them. there might just be too many things, even with it and primus's world being this small, and it doesn't even know how to draw. thinking about this makes it nervous, so it stops thinking about it, and practices saying the names of the things in its bedroom aloud. it says that if it were to ask for anything, it would probably be to have its body stop hurting so much. it doesn't want to worry primus about its health.

buddy can speak and play pictionary. it has only really tried speaking, and doesn't consider itself very good at it yet, but it will continue to try. it thanks the void for teaching it to speak.

this TCP, being knife type, can summon more blades on any part of its body, so long as it is willing to sacrifice health. these knives are permanent changes to its body, and cannot be gotten rid of.

it does not have an inventory, and will need some sort of storage item to carry things on its person, aside from what it can fit in its one arm.

your TCP limit is still at 2.

>GIVE PRIMUS: BEDSIDE LAMP

primus runs over to tap at it with a finger, before realizing that poking at the base turns it on and off. he finds this to be incredible fun, and takes more than a couple of moments to switch it on and off again. he whistles in short, high pitched bursts- his version of laughter.

everything feels new to him, and it doesn't take him long to realize he can move his hands around and block the light if he chooses. he thanks the void profusely for this wonderful gift!

>GIVE BUDDY: MUSIC BOX

buddy ignores the flickering light upstairs when the music box is created, cautiously circling it before sitting down and running its hand over its surface. it seems more interested in the texture of the object than anything else, until it clicks open and scares the tiny cat person terribly.

it takes it a few moments to calm back down, shifting back into a sitting position and realizing that the box is playing music for it; a tiny, private concert. maybe new things aren't so scary.

>CREATE: SLEEPING BAGS + LANTERN + FOLD UP CHAIR

the basement is a proper safety bunker now, well equipped for potential emergencies.

can we create a first aid kit in buddy's room to help him with his pain? I mean it does look like some of his wounds are still bleeding so it might help to at least bandage him up.

>>708799
How far technologically are we allowed to go? Would be just stopping buddy's pain in regards to its knife body be too much? What if we spawned a prosthetic arm? I wonder just how much power we have.

I think we should give buddy either a prosthetic arm or something to aid its pain, though it would do it good to learn how to lessen its pain naturally, is there a way, I wonder?

Create a mini-version of the entire world, then put it inside primus to heal everyones health!

...or if that's kinda OP find a way to temporarily shrink buddy so it can fit inside without damaging primus.

TEACH primus upload/download machine use, then explain to him that we don't anticipate having to use it, because we don't anticipate having any corpses on hand. it's for emergencies only.

TEACH buddy self-soothing techniques, including deep breathing - it doesn't ALWAYS work, but maybe it can be a go-to coping mechanism for when it panics.

TEACH buddy how to draw, then CREATE a sketchbook! that way it can draw wherever it wants, not just at the easel. A
also CREATE more soft toys. buddy deserves a big old pile of soft toys.

TEACH primus narrative and shadow puppetry! then have him call buddy up, if it wants, to tell a Non-Scary story using the lamp.


re: the last two points, it seems like so far, the most effective thing for buddy's pain has been distraction. i think we should be really careful about the concept of putting buddy inside primus - it's a good thought, but not until we can somehow guarantee that buddy wouldn't accidentally hurt primus from the inside.

This is good I second this >>708820

Let's get Buddy a lifetime supply of dermoplast, and a bag or purse or something so he can carry stuff. Teach Primus teaching, so that he can teach buddy how to do the things we're teaching him to do, hopefully distracting him and growing their bond.

>the only way a TCP can die is to be KILLED by another TCP
Really? So, even if we filled the world with lava or acid or upped the gravity by 1,000% they'd be fine?

They would likely be in terrible pain but live

>>708820
Child the whole reason I had that thing built was to put Buddy in a better body

>>708839
But you cant, since you need a dead Tcp and we are not killing anyone.

>>708845
Just create a dead body

Teach Buddy READING and WRITING so it can write stories for Primus

>>708846
That's horrifying, maybe wait till they're more used to their new life.

>>708820 seconded
perhaps GIVE buddy a backpack so it can carry stuff like primus

since things are getting rolling at last, i think i'll make a quick note that we do have a disthread if you want to debate how you're going to approach this problem! https://tgchan.org/kusaba/questdis/res/98325.html

TEACH Buddy how to drawwwwwww.
>and allow them to rest and restore their health
...I wonder if Primus doing that would help Buddy? Or is it at max hp already?

GIVE both TCP a hug, gentle enough not to harm Buddy.

also, use the PORTAL to spawn a swarm of tiny, harmless bioluminescent critters, like fireflies!

CREATE wild herds of MARIMO

Wait a minute... are the knives part of Buddy's body? Or can they simply be removed? Then we can give it a COOL ROBOT ARM and its head wound should just heal.

>>708966
knives are a part of its body, its knifetype :(
GIVE buddy a bunch of stuffed toys with different textures and GIVE primus a pirate hat :D

CREATE art supplies for Buddy.

>>708969
>>708966
Just because they're part of its body doesn't mean they can't be removed, amputation is a useful medical procedure.

Speaking of medicine, let's teach Primus the basics of first aid, just in case he needs it on his inevitable adventures.

CREATE medicinal herbs for the purpose of painkilling

SPAWN a cute little bunny for buddy to keep as a pet.

buddy now knows self care methods, and knowing that it can care for itself now calms a lot of its nerves. it says it trusts the void fine, but it was very worried about disappointing it and losing its support. it thanks the void, its voice a genuine, gentle grinding of metal on metal.

>TEACH BUDDY: READING + WRITING
with the new skill of reading and writing as well, buddy feels a bit more up to speed with its friend primus. it wonders if it should bring the books in from earlier, and get to work on reading alice in wonderland while primus takes on treasure island.

>TEACH PRIMUS: SHADOW PUPPETRY + NARRATIVE
primus now knows how to tell stories, especially ones using shadow puppets! this brightens his mood considerably, and he starts brainstorming of some plays to put on for buddy.

>TEACH PRIMUS: TEACHING
this should come in handy, he'll pass on what he knows to buddy when he gets the chance.

>TEACH PRIMUS: SURGERY
primus is kind of concerned you'd teach him this, but starts to understand why quickly. he says that if the void wants him to try, he thinks he can get buddy to agree to it, and it might just help his friend. he's not sure enough to make that call by himself, and he might need some equipment to try and get the knives out.

hmm...
create X-ray booth.

so we can get a scan of how the knives are in buddy.

>>709003
Give Primus X-ray goggles instead, less space and portable.
Create dungeons in the mountains.

>>709001
Primus: try healing Buddy via your pocket. It will hurt, but it is the method with least risk to Buddy. Though, those rubber caps might help with the inner stabbings.

tell buddy we would NEVER stop supporting it, and we would never be disappointed in it for having a hard time. we're here to protect it and take care of it.

seconded on creating xray tech of some kind - can we add an additional level to the tower to create a clinic of some kind for caring for buddy?

i think we have to be really careful. we don't know how pulling out the knives will effect buddy, so the more research we can do, the better.

Yes tell Buddy we love it and will never leave it alone... also ask if it would like a new body

maybe give them a break? i can't help but think they're going to get overwhelmed with all this attention. just leave some sign so they know we haven't abandoned them and let them relax, read, have a nap

ok and actually, also, yeah ask buddy if it would want a new body if we could give it one.

CREATE plushie tpc corpse OUTSIDE of the tower, so we can examine it. we don't have to do anything with it yet, we can just see how it turns out.

>>709012
seconding the sounding of my idea with all the zeal I can muster!

Adding an addendum to help with the danger of the machine use, create an addition to the machine that will copy anything it uploads/downloads

Well buddy, we're just worried it's causing you pain, what with the bleeding and such. If you're content the way you are we'll leave it be, but if you're not we're looking into ways to change that.

CREATE disposal pit

Also, uh, I'm not sure how well we can directly speak to our TCPs. Maybe have Primus ask if Buddy wants to change its body? If you think about it, Buddy might consider the knives part of its body and not want them removed. Surely it wants to be free of the pain, though?

I wonder, can we TEACH "pain suppression" to Buddy?

well we got crops in the background that we haven't touched yet. Let's spawn hoe cat to be a gardner and help us bring beauty to this world... you know so we can take a brake every now and then and just watch the world develop on it's own.

Also for the love of god can we get rid of the corpse before the other two see it and are mentally scared for life. No one likes being reminded of they're own mortality and for someone who's never even considered or ever really ever even known about it before... well it would probably brake them.

>>709061

>buddy asks if there's something wrong with its current body.
Remember, the blades are permanent unless his type is changed. Some TCP might enjoy rougher competition and a Weapon Type would be useful to defend against them. Also, non-TCP could turn out intentionally violent, despite our best intentions.
We should teach one of them to dig and supply a shovel, as well as a short leaflet on graveyards. CREATE a field of softer soil with a metal fence surrounding it for the graveyard.

>>709046
>check the corpse tcp. is it actually a corpse or is it alive
Wait, let's do this first. If it's an actual living TCP, then we can hold off on the graveyard idea. Or just do it anyways and simply use it for non-TCP guys in case any of our TCP like the idea of changing their type.

Spawn necromancy cat.

Dad Cat sounds good, but we should help Buddy and that corpse, so...

>NAME: DAD
>CHECK DAD

dad is a DAD TYPE TCP, and is thus very small, but incredibly powerful. being a CREATURE TCP, her abilities are passive and cannot be used intentionally. DAD TYPES have a leadership passive effect- any TCPs in her immediate vicinity will prioritize listening to her over any other commands- from the void, or other TCPs.

dad's health is doing perfectly fine, but she's not exactly comfortable with the fact that she spawned next to a corpse, even without the concept of death. it feels wrong to her, even in her first few minutes of life, and she can't shake a feeling of unease.

dad has no skills, and no inventory.

sorry about the corpse, dad. nobody was actually hurt - it's basically just an object that we made. an unsettling object, but an object all the same.

my vote is still for giving dad the items needed to bury it, but i'm up for however anyone else wants to handle it.

teach dad star trek quotes. just in case. you never know

hello dad. the corpse is an object we created, which we were not entirely sure what to do with actually and now we just kind of want it out of the way, and we cant exactly reach right in there and bury the corpse. hopefully you can understand

suggest greeting the others i guess. and set up a room for her in the tower with a bed and a. ship in a bottle or something

>GIVE DAD: SHOVEL
>GIVE DAD: SACHEL

thank you.

yes, things can stop being alive - but that's why we're here! to stop that from happening.

also, sorry, i know this must be pretty overwhelming! there's a lot of things to teach and so we kind of automatically try to get a bunch of it out of the way at the same time.

an aside thought to the rest of the void: i'm concerned, now that i think about it, about the original thought of just having dad bury the corpse and not telling the other two at all. i think there's a chance that that'll breed distrust, which is the last thing we need now that we have dad and her Super Authority. even though they'll be a little freaked out, i think it might be a better idea to call buddy and primus out to meet her and explain our mistake with the corpse openly to them. i think that would be better for our long-term relationship with them than if we had dad essentially hide the corpse and then tell them later that we actively chose to keep them out of the loop.

Sorry Primus, we were attending to another matter. We are still trying to finalize a good plan on how to best help Buddy. For now if you could just look at Buddy with the goggles we can have a better idea on how to move forward.

CHECK back on Primus and Buddy, what are they up to?

Things can die when exposed to certain harmful elements. We have been trying to find a way to stop the harm that another TCP had, but... Well, this one came out dead before we even tried anything. I'll leave it to your judgement, Dad, if you want to bury it or upload it, but the other two living cats are inside the tower.

Primus: Just x-ray for now. Hold off on surgical removals until Buddy's health has improved, but if there's something that can safely help him out, then you can perform surgery. His health is already poor, I do not wish to risk it lowering too far.

Don't worry Primus, we're talking things over with buddy. He doesn't know if he wants to get rid of his body completely and is getting attached to it, so we're looking into different ways to help that don't involve the swapping machine.

Dad: could you please bury plushie in the Forest? and to answer your questions, it was not exactly like you, it didn't originate from the lake. You'll understand why we've done this when you see buddy.

Spawn some cute little birdies. It'll help liven up the place a bit.

Give dad a gift!

Look, Dad, we have lot of plans happening at once, sometimes dead bodies get left out to rot in the open, get used to it. As Dad you need to be responsible and have an understanding of the harsh realities of life, so I suppose you seeing that useless corpse did serve a purpose.

Teach DAD about the inevitability of death!
Induce an EXISTENTIAL PANIC!
Let's send this cat off the deep end, boys!

>>709207
Absolutely do not tell Dad to just "get used to" corpses. Dad has authority over us with Buddy and Primus, and that is going to Piss Her Off. We may be omnipotent but we also need to be accountable for our actions and Dad is probably going to start holding us to that.

Dad: we hecked up really bad trying to help Buddy, and we didn't realize how bad it was until it was already done, and we're sorry, and if you could help us try to fix this by maybe explaining death to Primus and Buddy so we don't have to go through that conversation later when Somebody Actually Dies, and then maybe bury the corpse, that would be amazing. But if not, I, at least, understand.

Tell Primus we didn't mind the questions and encourage him to continue to ask questions. We are just preoccupied trying to help Buddy somehow right now

apologize to dad. she really got screwed over when we created that corpse.

we didn't mean for her first experience to be a scary one, but sometimes when you care about someone you can do scary things. we're not sure about using the machine. we don't want to kill anyone, which is why we tried using a loophole to create something already dead.

again, sorry. but on the bright side you have new friends waiting for you!

primus calls buddy up into his room, explaining the situation, and the fact that he's going to use the goggles the void gave him to see how the knives are in its body.

buddy says that that's fine, as it trusts the void and its friend. it asks if it'll hurt at all, to which primus says he doesn't think so.

Spawn joy.

hahahaha drugs

but srsly tho what about uploading and then Creating a robot body?

Assuming we only need to get rid of the ones piercing its skin that doesn't actually look that bad, they seem to be in pretty shallow, especially the one on Buddy's head. Even if we do have to remove the ones on the inside too it'll be fine, it's not like we can accidentally kill him or anything, even if we do fuck up. The worst this operation can be is tedious. I think we can do this.
Teach Dad surgery and anesthesiology.

Hey hey wait hold up though. If we remove all of the knives, will Buddy lose its classification? Because how can you be a knife TCP without knives? Also, what if Buddy's body is an infinite knife factory.

>>709220
Primus, tell it that knives appear to be an integral part of its body. I think that's the best way to break the news.

Oh hey we need to make a new room for Dad!

thank primus and buddy for being such good cats

+ create a stately study attached to the tower for dad's use, a dad needs a good study

++ can we give buddy some soft bandages so that it doesn't have to be leaking all over the place if it doesn't want to be?

>>709231
INFINITE BLADE WORKS sorry I had to.

Anyway, Just GIVE buddy some MILD PAINKILLERS to be used as needed, It's not like they seem to be doing any real damage to him...Though maybe some (Give)BANDAGES would be good to wrap around the knives poking out of the wounds and such.

Buddy needs a thorough medical examination before we operate.
Spawn MRI scanner.

Ask Buddy what the POINT is of telling them what's what

>>709237
Don't do that; metal in an MRI is a super bad idea.

No MRI do you not know how that works?!??!?!?!!!! He would die!

we just have to do this slowly. take out one or two, let buddy recover and heal, then take out more. as long as he doesn't try to spawn any they should stay gone.

>>709257 no.
>>709083 yes.
but first, lets introduce dad to the other cats?
>>709235 this

>>709242
>He would die!
No, it would be very painful 4u

primus, i hope that didn't spook you. it should be okay.

buddy, you're going to be more than fine.

honestly our best bet for pain fixing is rubber caps + tent pouch. even if it does hurt for a little bit if it means having less pain overall isn't that a fair trade?

also, ask dad what she would like to do. again we are sorry about the corpse, that was messed up of us, and if she doesn't want to handle it we understand.

also have we taught buddy how the machine works? because if people are still okay with using it i think it should be taught how it works and asked for it's opinion.

>>709303

>>709305

>>709303
This.
Also tell buddy it can take as long as it wants to answer, that's a very tough decision. No rush.

>>709220
Primus, be very careful when you comfort Buddy. You don't want to hurt him.

Would removing these even be possible? These knives are like his entire being...

forgot buddy's cheek spots in the last update, that's just an artist error. edited for typos

>CREATE: DAD STUDY
a study is created for dad to live in, branching off of buddy's room. she starts burying the body in the meantime, not exactly happy about it. she says she understands why the void wants to hide this from the others, but does make a point of saying that she's going to tell them whether you like it or not. you can't just go dropping that kind of revelation in without teaching the others about it, she doesn't know enough about it to tell them herself.

the other TCPs aren't nearly as direct about their concerns, but dad doesn't seem to care about offending the void either way. her voice is rumbly and deep, sounding vaguely like a truck on a freeway- abstract sounds, similar to primus' whistling and buddy's metal grinding.

dad suggests a sitdown with all of the TCPs, herself included. somebody's gotta talk to all of us about this death thing, she says. how we deal with death is how we deal with life, and if the void keeps handling death like this, we tiny cat people are gonna have a terrible tiny cat life.

she wraps up burying the body, throws the shovel aside and goes to grab the rubber caps left by the tree. if you're going to keep talking about doing things, she says, she may as well help speed things along.

>GIVE BUDDY: BANDAGES
dad makes her way into the tower, keeping her words brief. she's new and alive now, the void calls her dad and she's not sure about what's going on here- and she stops mid sentence when she sees buddy's wounds. there's a silence in the room as dad looks buddy over, and it's a few solid minutes before she asks how she can help.

primus says bandaging it up and getting the caps on is probably a good start, so the two of them get to work on that. buddy says hello to dad, and says the thing on her head is very pretty. dad tells it that it's apparently called a hat, and that buddy could wear it sometime if it wanted.

buddy laughs, distracted from its wounds for now.

dad, i think it would make buddy happy if you let it wear your hat! it's up to you, though.

anyway. i guess something it's important for you guys to know is even though we (the void) technically CAN do whatever WE want, what we actually want to do is whatever YOU guys want. so if you guys decide you don't like something we're doing, or you think we aren't making good choices, we want you to tell us so we can stop and do something different.

TEACH tcps concept of DEATH.
this is something we're trying to prevent. we're worried that if we aren't careful enough, or if we mess up, that you guys could get hurt. again, we can DO almost anything we want, but we don't KNOW everything, and we can make mistakes. trying to help you guys as much as we can while also being careful and keeping you safe has proved to be more challenging than we thought it would be.

we want this to be teamwork, not just us doing things and you guys suffering the consequences. we might need help with that! we're sorry if we make mistakes, but it's important that we communicate with you guys to minimize mistakes as much as possible.

>>709383
Teach LIFE and DEATH.

It's nothing to be afraid of. It's natural.

Buddy, Primus, we already mentioned some of this to Dad, but you too: If a TCP's health drops too low, they will cease to live--Something we call "death."
Teach: Concept of mortality.
We want to prevent this from happening, of course, but... a mistake in wording left one dead already.

Hey you won't die of old age though. Plus the other one was created dead so it was technically never a living thing. And could still serve its purpose if we don't find another way to help buddy.

>>709383
HATS HATS FOR EVERYONE!
Give:hat catalogue
Then GIVE:whatever hat is wanted

>TEACH: MORTALITY

the TCPs listen carefully to the void, and have a pretty good grasp on the concept of death. buddy seems a bit shaken by the idea of there being something dead outside, but thanks the void for acting in its interest. it does ask you however, to maybe not do that again. it doesn't want anyone dying or getting hurt for its sake.

>CREATE: HAT CATALOG
a catalog of hats is made- and upon further inspection, is full of other garments and accessories to wear too. the TCPs are delighted, and say that the void can help them pick something out.

dad says she's fine with anything, as long as it doesn't look too ridiculous. primus seems equally flexible, but offers the idea of something good for adventuring. buddy says it would like to look cute, if possible.

Don't worry about it too much, Buddy. That plush cat didn't die - it was a body which never had that particular quality which makes things alive. Still spooky though, so sorry.
