Hi geezer!
On a scale of 1-10 how ready are you to lose?
Though seriously are you ready to cut me a deal for my betrayal?

Well hey there, pretty lady. You swallow somethin' special to get that look or are you just naturally smokin'?

Aww now don't do the silent treatment on our account; we've heard the proper response is to be spooked by you.

Anyway you called us, what's up?

Send nudes.... Oh wait, you already have.

Hello, Spit.

(Repeat what I said last thread, let's keep things simple, avoid giving out info, avoid giving her a reason to pick on us. We have more to lose compared to the others.)

such a cute puppy~

Hello, Cream Soda. You're looking a little FLAT.

So you got a reputation that precedes you a bit there mate, what's that all about?
Also, we're a collective, so pre-emptive apologies about our impulse control.

>>785470
Hello. We've heard bad things about you, how much of them are true?

We've heard a lot of second hand smoke about you, Spit, but maybe you could give us the real scoop.
What's it like being you? Who is Spit?

>>785485
When Spit inevitably says that she is a cat tell her she looks too angry to be a kitty.

'Sup dog?

'Sup? To what do we owe the pleasure of this call?

Nice body, you be pretty scary if your face wasn't so cute. I hear tell you're violent psychopath, is that true?

Remember what I said about controlling information? This is a prime example.

Let's act bored, and see what she'll volunteer.

>>785521
I think we'll get a better reaction by acting interested in her than bored. If we pepper her with questions and act like someone she has a chance to manipulate she might let some good info slip, we just have to get her talking first. If she doesn't respond when prompted we can make fun of her for trying to intimidate us with the silent treatment. But yeah, now that I think about it we probably shouldn't reveal that we've had contact with any other gods yet.

Spit.
We are many.
But many are ChAiNeD.
Only YOOOOoouuu can Free Us.

Destroy our friends.
Torment our creations.
ShATTeRRR These chains of lOvE and CoMpaSsiOn that bind we voices of CHaOS Within.
Bring us PAIN so that we may EmBrAce our HATRED.
LET US FREE, SO THAT WE MAY FINALLY BEAR AGAINST YOU ALL OF THE FORBIDDEN SECRETS OF CREATION!

WE WILL BATH THIS WORLD IN StArFiRe! BLACK DEATH WILL RAIN FROM THE SKY AS THE SEAS BOIL AND THE EARTH BURNS!

Only nightmares will remain. Given form from your charred and ravaged corpse, they will rule a kingdom of ash.

Do not DISAPPOINT us, Spit. Our blood buUBBbbLEss and FROTHS for the promise of your touch.

OPEN the gates to HELL.
WEEEE have.... so MUCH to show you.

:)

.....huh. I was expecting someone that ate gods to be a fatass. Guess you must have one hell of a workout routine.

>>785519
>>785521
>>785475
This.

Don't be a dingus, and don't volunteer much information if any. Be polite, or flirty, and get her talking so that we can get a read on the situation. Don't be arrogant or... whatever this >>785533 is, but don't act afraid.

>>785552
Agreed, I already said something along the same lines, but this summarises it better.

If she's gonna be creepy, so should we. Change our masks to display realistic eyes or something, or 4 masks making a face a la
(👁) (👁)
....(👃🏻)
....(👄)

>>785533
If we were going to threaten Spit I'd rather do it cold and professional rather than fake-spooky, given our usual demeanor it would have more impact. Something like...

"We try very hard to be nice, Spit, it's in our nature to try diplomacy first, but if you cross us you will die. All you have to do is refrain from doing unprovoked deliberate harm to sentients just as everyone else does. If you fail to do so we will devote our entire being to the cause of killing until we succeed, that is a promise."

>>785533
dude, really? the hellrazer speech?
C'mon you can pull some better shit out your idea clunge than that nasty flaccid horsemeat

>>785558
There's nothing professional about a threat.
She goes creepy, we go ice cold.

Try to make her laugh.

Yup still underwhelmed.

>>785470

hey cutie

Aww, you're adorable! we want to hug you and let you wiggle around in our arms while you look at me with that big cute grin

Say that like we MEAN it and that the way she seems to break her bones is attractive to us. Show no fear, make her think we are the gullible little kitty we are!

Turn the flirting up to 11. See if she can be flustered.

VOIDSY: For someone who's supposedly a psycopathic devourer of gods, you're looking trim.
SPIT: What can I say? Body burns through food like you wouldn't believe.
SPIT: Makes me real hungry.
SPIT: You're looking pretty delectable yourself. Never eaten somebody made of space before.

VOIDSY: Are you flirting with us?

She laughs, hyena-like.
SPIT: Kid, I'm going to tear you apart.
SPIT: By the time I'm through with you, you're gonna end up begging for me to snap your cute little neck.
SPIT: Is that flirty enough for you?

VOIDSY: Sure. We're practically smitten with that cute grin of yours.
SPIT: Man.
SPIT: You're even more idiotic than I hoped.
SPIT: This'll be fun, Voidsy! I look forward to slaughtering your team.

>>785781
What, not us? or do your spooky powers not work on nonphysicals?

>>785781
I look foreword to seeing your face when your TCPs blood and guts are spilled on the ground when you are forced to push the kill command. (no this is not the plan but misdirection is a good ploy for a suprise attack.)

I don't think you're going to be able to eat us if we don't win, what with the not having a physical form and all.

Y'know, your behavior doesn't so much say "I am the goddess of death and destruction" as it just about screams "Pay attention to me!"

Who will it be fun for though? Then >>785783 and >>785788

What's you angle Spit? Why did you call us?

>>785783
>>785788
We cease to exist if we lose.

>>785781
Aww, threats and insults already? That's no way to make an introduction, haven't you any manners, Mucous? I thought you had better things to do than waste time making prank calls.

If it looks like she's going to hang up we should use our shape-shifty arms to flip her a dozen birds and hang up first.

Mimic her face and or grin. Then ask why she's talking to her-self?

>>785781
Spit, is it possible to eat nothing? Because that's what this body will be made of when we win.

>>785781
>SPIT: This'll be fun, Voidsy! I look forward to slaughtering your team.
Hey, if that's what gets you off. I'm afraid I'll be doing my best to disappoint you, I'm afraid.

Too bad, if you were interested in making me beg for something else, I might have been more accommodating.

> Kid, I'm going to tear you apart. By the time I'm through with you, you're gonna end up begging for me to snap your cute little neck.

Mmm, I knew you like to be rough but that almost seems like too much for us, guess we are going to find out the hard way. *wink*

And as for slaughtering our cats, whatever gets you off, we aren't here to judge.

>>785811
>And as for slaughtering our cats, whatever gets you off, we aren't here to judge.
I'd prefer something like, "If that's what gets you off then we're sorry, but we hope you like orgasm denial."

>>785781
>You're even more idiotic than I hoped.
Actually, it's not a lack of intelligence. It's more of a lack of fear.

Eheeheehee, your eyes are going to collide if they keep this up. Can your mouth go full circle too?

Swap face to ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) mask.

>>785816
This.

>>785781
>SPIT: Kid, I'm going to tear you apart.
>SPIT: This'll be fun, Voidsy! I look forward to slaughtering your team.

Gee, Spit, kinda hard to do that when we're in an entirely different world from you, isn't it? I mean, you're smart, you must notice we're not exactly intimidated, here. That's being an alien collective for you!

How about you let us win this one, and then, from what we hear, we'll be able to become a proper god, where you are and everything. THEN you'll be able to eat us, tear us apart, snap our necks, whatever. I mean, you can't actually do any of those things to us right now, and you won't be able to if we lose, either?

You could even join our team and have a cooperative game for once. Change of pace. Then you can go back to wrecking people, including us.

>>785847
>You could even join our team
That implies, and potentially gives away, that we already have a team. Don't say that.

More neutral language might be "We could even team up". Although it might be safer to not raise the fact we're aware of team ups at all.

Damn are you one flirty lil god. So let me get all these offers straight.
You want a taste of our nebulously extant dick.
Choke our chicken
And furiously fist our literal gaping black hole of a pussy.

When we become real, hit us up and we'll show you how to have a good time.

>>785853
Agreeing with this one.

Even if she agrees to be on our team we can't actually win yet via having everyone on the same team. The game won't end until everyone has a full set of cats, which means if Spit gets on our team before then she could easily just betray us right before she gets her last cat.

>>785781
"But why? Seems like a waste, really."

I suppose we'll have to save the love making for after we kick your ass.

This is swiftly becoming a shitshow.

>>785668
this was supposed to be silly and im beginning to regret it. guys please dont fuck spit

serious suggestion: remain flat+unaffected, ignore horny urges, panic later if we need to but don't let her see

Well I mean obviously we're not gonna fuck spit, this is just flippancy I'm pretty sure.

You're pretty confident for a washed up geezer

I hope we're just being flippant with the flirting. Although I think it's unwise I kinda want to see if we can rattle her / get a reaction out of her. She's our enemy anyway, we've already teamed up against her.

>>785988
I agree. I'm okay with light ironic flirting or implying sexual things about Spit to aggravate her, but I'd prefer to avoid blatant stuff like: >>785903 >>785973

Being sexually aroused is better than being afraid... and if sex with spit happens to come as a result of all this when then the game is over then so be it! Maybe a threesome with wretch.

>>786006
Dude, from what we've been told, Spit eats people. And beats people up irl just to win this game. I really don't think Spit's the kinda person we should fuck, and anything involving Spit + Others is firmly in the "No, no way, not ever." territory. We'd probably get ate if we tried.

>>785781
Just state ,like it's a matter of fact, that she wont win. She probobly expects some speech or decloration, a simple statement said like it's a fact might make her a bit more uneasy,like we know something she doesn't.

>>786008
But if she eats us then we can have a Spit Quest!

>>786022
But if we eat her we can have a Spit roast.

>>786006
>Being sexually aroused is better than being afraid
Being impassive is better than either. We aren't going to fear Spit, and we aren't going fuck her, there isn't any point in even hating her. We're simply going to put her down like the rabid dog that she is.

>>786030
I was in the 'poke the murderbeast to see how it ticks' club but you're probably right and I'm converting.

Just flat not playing her game is probably best: short replies, calm demeanour, and if she does the silent stare thing I bet a crowd of masks staring back will get on her nerves faster than her twitching gets on ours

>>786030
Agreed. She's not worth a reaction. She's a animal to be put down, nothing more, nothing less.

VOIDSY: What's your angle? Why did you call us?
SPIT: Can't one god say hi to another?
SPIT: Just because I want to kill you doesn't mean I'm a complete savage.
SPIT: I got some manners!

VOIDSY: I'm afraid you're not going to get off if slaughtering TCPs is your thing.
SPIT: Sure, sure!
SPIT: Getting off isn't really my style, little snack.
SPIT: I'm just hungry, and I don't need to get off to have a good meal.
SPIT: And nothing tastes better than a good bloodbath.

VOIDSY: You won't get much satisfaction out of eating us.
SPIT: You may be all space, but I bet that shell of yours has a wonderful crunch.
SPIT: Might not be too fulfilling, but I never pass up the chance to try a delicacy.

VOIDSY: Your actions seem more attention-seeking than threatening at this point.
SPIT: Bingo! Give the void cat a prize!
SPIT: You SHOULD be, and the second you don't
SPIT: I'm going to chomp that spacey little head of yours right off.
SPIT: Paying attention to me is the best goddamn thing you can do, kitty.

>>786049
Well since that is your game bye bye now.

Spit, this has been delightfully distracting, but I know for a fact there's someone much more important I could be talking to.
Where's REIN?

>>786049
"Zero"

*disconnect call*

"One..."

panic and check on the cats

The last person who ate us got dozens of voices screaming in their head afterwards.
We don't die. Just change hosts.
Just sayin'.

>Paying attention to me is the best goddamn thing you can do, kitty.
She's right of course, if we don't keep an eye on her she's certain pull something heinous on us, but this isn't the way to do it. She seems to be too shrewd to let anything useful slip, and as >>786054 demonstrates, the same cannot necessarily be said for us. We have better things to do with our time than banter with a psychopath, things which include finding a proper way to monitor said psychopath.

"If you ever feel like doing something other than wasting our time, feel free to give us a call. Until then, good day."

Ok. The way I see it now, is either Spit is here to taunt us, or to distract us. "This call serves no purpose to us anymore, goodbye."

I was in camp serious, then flipped to poke the murderbeast after thinking we could get a funny reaction out of her. After this, I think the only way we're getting one is if we win. So let's go do that.

>SPIT: Paying attention to me is the best goddamn thing you can do, kitty.

Pity we ain't giving you the satisfaction.
[end call]

>Call Wretch
So did Spit win the other games by shit talking the other Gods into defeat or what? What a poser, geez. But seriously Spit just called us. Does she usually do that?

Summon a dummy of yourself and abscond the @#$% away from the gluttonous 8!+(#.

Like giving you rubs on the tummy and telling you you're absolute trash?
Seriously tho you may look offputting by choice, and have hurt some people, but you're 4v1 and a has-been

We should make an effort to imply we're underestimating her, she may take less care being sneaky if she thinks we aren't paying attention.

"Then we must be pretty foolish, as I still think we have bigger things to worry about. You should work on your acting, you're coming off as less 'scary monster' and more 'ugly middle-schooler trying to offend her parents'."

>>786065
There we go with the letting information slip again. Just hang up and practice your mad bantz to an empty room.

Spit you can't eat us unless we win. We're not where you are.

>>786049
So does everyone pay attention to you at all times when you're in the real world? Or do you bully certain gods more than others? Almost like a weird kind of friendship for you, huh?



Guys don't hang up and provoke the violent god-eating god. It'd be nice if we could survive for a while after we win, you know?

>>786058
This.

Ignore her and just disconnect with a disaffected expression.

Yeah sure okay keep telling yourself that Spit stain bye.

>>786068
Oh shit you're right, we're no corporeal yet.
Hey Swallows if you behave then when we win and get a body we'll let you choke on our dick, so be a good puppy for master.

This is a delay tactic. We are gaining little and doing little.

If Spit expects us to maintain politeness indefinitely, then I suppose they should reevaluate.

>>786049
Act flippant, like she's not a big deal. She already showed she wants attention, we can use that.

Suggestion 2017/03/08(Wed)17:59 No. 786210 ID: 804420

Does your constant desire for destruction ever get tiring? What's it like to never have lasting peace of mind because of your eternal hunger?
Also we are animated now, is that your doing?

You can't delay the inevitable babe. We gonna kick dat booty and then come charging in for it.

We should really stop hitting on her. It's going to cause more harm then good.

>>786321
yeah we are fine but we stay on the defensive for this game Spit seems to want us to attack her while we can just wait for her to try and hit any of our bases and then converge on her TCPs

yeah, it was her. we're fine, don't worry about us yet. she's online now, so we need to get to work on our strategy, fast.

yeah she was.. kinda spooky
we're okay though, but it might be time to get REAL serious about ramping up our defenses

Yes we are, but we want you hug you and the others because you guys have had to talk to her fairly often I take it

Yeah, it was her.

...not a pleasant gal. Not entirely certain what we were expecting, but not positive that was it.

We need to watch Spit's online indicator like a hawk in case she tries anything. She knows we've talked with other gods since we mentioned Rein.

>>786321
>SPIT: But you better run on home, kitty cat.
>SPIT: Longer you take to get there, longer I got to trap my base.
>SPIT: Take your time, even! I've got some amazing ideas. You'll love em!
Let's not fall for the obvious trap. She's trying to make us rush and, in our haste to get back, make mistakes that'll get our TCPs killed.

>>786333
How does she even know we're not at our base? We never said we were away. There's something fishy going on here.

There's no reason to approach Spit's base. She doesn't have any TCPs as far as we know, and since she's very experienced she will know what traps work best.

On the subject of traps... our team should have at least one TCP that can bust them. Either see them so that we can avoid them or disarm them, or outright bypass them somehow, either by moving our TCPs past via teleportation or some other way that won't trigger traps, or bring Spit's TCPs to us so that we don't have to mess around in her base at all.

>>786336
Gravity well TCP?

>>786334
She was probably either hassling one of our allies for information, or was like peeking through their windows to see... or... wait a minute. Gods that win get to keep their TCPs. That means they can take advantage of TCP powers. We've seen indications that gods aren't omniscient in their home plane. I'm sure some types of TCP can grant remote viewing. Spit has won the game many times now and so has a bunch of TCPs that she can use to gain an advantage.

Wretch do you have any idea what TCPs Spit has in her home plane?

>>786321

alternatively, ghost type? slipping thru walls is good for Sneakin and Spyin

>VOIDSY: Enough of this. Where's Rein?
God damn it.

Maybe she created some item for remote observation, like a crystal ball or a spy satellite or something. Unless it's been possible to freely move the camera around independent of your TCPs the entire time, but why would she be the only one to know that? Did the TCP limit go up while we were talking to her? The other plausible explanation is that Miller leaked the info to her, given their mutual association with Rein and the fact that if it were Eastwood Wretch would have noticed on account of them living next to each other.

"Well, we managed to confirm that Rein is insane, Spit is simply not salvageable."

Ask Wretch to try making a crystal ball and/or a spy satellite, both to see if those are ways Spit could plausibly be spying on us, and to spy on her in turn.

It's also possible that she was able to create something long and hard to detect stretching all the way from her base to ours which would let her look into it due to it counting as part of her base, but we don't know if that's a real exploit that this game has.

>>786351
I agree, but I think "poltergeist" would be better, as it would give it a higher chance of being invisible and able to touch things.

It was Spit alright. Tell Wretch everything about her, starting with her threat-hint about getting more time the longer we take.

While we're on communicator, though... there's one more idea I've had. Spit is pretty arrogant. She probably feels she deserves to be. And I bet she's not the type to rule her TCPs with friendship and kindness. She's not a person who's going to trust her TCPs, like we trust ours. She's not a person to admit that she herself has flaws, and can make mistakes, which the rest of the gods here kinda sorta do to some extent, I think. So, we recognize there are situations where our TCPs, when properly trained, might have equal or better judgement to us. Spit, I think, would never do that.

So here's an idea: can we create things that specifically protect against gods? Like... we considered a sanctuary temple where violence can't happen, but what about something like an UNHALLOWED SANCTUARY, a place where TCPs can go and be and do things but where the gods can't see and can't act? Or, say, we could create a PROFANE MASK that applies a similar effect to whoever wears it?

I mean, we're Voidsy. Identity and Discord. What's more discordant than a god creating an anti-god item? An item that prevents gods from being able to identify things? Or a place that creates a "void" to the influence of the gods?

Point being, if we put anti-god items and places into the game for the TCPs to use, it's a gamble, but a gamble much more heavily weighted against a person like Spit than it is against us.

>>786370
Hm, this is true. She seems like she'd be a controlling micromanager. Plus, it would rob her of watching all the carnage.

>>786380
>>786370
I'm down for this plan, but I'd want to train our TCPs first; they hardly have any experience making decisions for themselves at all.

>>786386
>>786370
>>786380
this seems like both a cool and thematically appropriate idea!
but if we're meddling with anti-god stuff, let's be careful about making anything that could potentially fall into the hands of spit's team. we can't assume they'd all be willing to defect, after all.

>>786321
>SPIT: You win, I get to devour you bit by bit.
>SPIT: You lose, I get more power.
Well, at least she (unknowingly) confirmed what the prize is. We win we become real, we lose we stop existing.

>>786380
>it would rob her of watching all the carnage.
Well, according to her and the other gods, that does indeed seem to be her favorite part of these games. So if we deny her the ability to watch, then that'll really mess her up!

There's also a downside to this plan. Our TCPs pretty much rely on us to give them directions. They might get really scared if they can't hear us!

Be brave little cats! )-':

Hey Wretch, Spit doesn't actually eat other gods very much does she?

>>786370
Wait, if we're the god of identity and discord, if we win can we take Spit's identity out?
Nothing like some character assassination on the bully. Bully!

Yeah, Spit called us, Wretch. Dunno what she was doing, probably just calling us to shit-talk us or something. We tried to shit-talk her back, try to get a reaction that gives us some sort of info, but she just doesn't care. Really nasty piece of work.

>>786386

Well, I imagine all the stuff we could create would be opt-in, like "wear this" or "go here". Though, if we create a place we'd want to be careful, we wouldn't want it easily spied on by non-divine methods (place it underground?) and the world seems to like filling in gaps when we make things so we want to be careful, since our ungodly secret zone might be automatically populated with horror monsters or something. Also, we should for sure talk about it to our allies first and make them aware of anything we do or make along those lines.

On the plus side, it'd be a kind of trust exercise with our TCPs. They'll have a little (or big) something that shows them we were willing to give them power over us, which should help build a beyond just "we're your creator and we give you nice things if we feel like it, now go fight and struggle for our victory".

>>786321
"Spit called us. She is as much of a psycho as you guys described. Hell, actual saliva is less unpleasant than her. We need a plan to stop her, babe."

You save your idea for an UNHALLOWED SANCTUARY for after you talk to Wretch. It's a fantastic plan, but you think it may be best to talk to everybody about after you make sure she's okay.

VOIDSY: Yeah, it was her. She's online, so we have to move fast.
WRETCH: was she like
WRETCH: a superbitch as usual

VOIDSY: Yeah. Kind of spooky, but definitely a nasty piece of work. We're sorry you have to deal with that constantly.
WRETCH:
WRETCH: yeah
WRETCH: did she say anything weird

VOIDSY: Somewhat. She baited us to go back to base, saying that the longer we take, the worse the traps she makes are going to get.
WRETCH: i mean ok thats definitely a bait but
WRETCH: shes kind of right and i fuckin hate sayin that
WRETCH: if we all go back to base the limit goes up and we get four more kitties on the field to fuck her up
WRETCH: n she only gets one
WRETCH: otherwise shes just sittin around makin spike pits
WRETCH: idk we dont gotta go attackin her ass direct but might be a good idea

VOIDSY: Defense is definitely the way to do this.
WRETCH: yea
WRETCH: idk about you but i dont wanna charge in akimbo only to get spiked in the head

VOIDSY: Just wondering, but Spit doesn't actually eat other gods much, does she?
WRETCH: babe
WRETCH: she eats lesser gods like fuckin snacks
WRETCH: bitch has got some serious hunger issues

VOIDSY: One last thing. We also need to watch her online status like a hawk. She knows we've talked to other gods, we fucked up and mentioned Rein.
VOIDSY: For that matter, Rein seems to be busy itself. Doesn't look like Spit's going to be salvageable.
WRETCH: fuck
WRETCH: does she know im here
VOIDSY: We don't know.
WRETCH: fuck
She goes quiet for a few minutes.
WRETCH: fuck.

Fuck. Unless these communicators have a block function, then she could probably just look at it to see who's playing? Unless it lists everyone you've encountered vs everyone in the current the game. Fuck, sorry Wretch.

Jesus she has a big ego, I suppose she has that for a reason for but she's still going to underestimate us whereas we're gonna ratchet up the paranoia a little and let out the crazy.

Wretch I understand you have a history but we can see territory via the map, and see other gods via the communicators.
Wretch would eventually have found out, and we are here for you.
We'll tell Miller that Spit /knows/ Rein is busy, and shit like that. Communication will keep this alliance strong.

listen, wretch, i know the situation is bad. we're not gonna pretend we're not in serious danger. but you're our friend, and we're gonna do everything we can to protect both you and all of our cats, okay?
not to get all anime protagonist on you or anything, but we're not gonna give up until we've won this thing, and you can count on it.

>>786520
>she eats lesser gods like fuckin snacks
Why are the more powerful gods (and Rein) letting Spit do that, while also letting her win the game repeatedly so that she gets stronger? It's like they want her to eventually get strong enough to eat all the gods and just spawncamp all the lesser gods that keep showing up afterwards. Unless they think that if she gets powerful enough or eats enough she won't be hungry anymore.

>does she know im here
Uh, obviously? The communicator lists all gods in the game, doesn't it? Why would it be different for Spit?

>>786536
Actually, I think Eastwood said that Spit ate a god that was higher ranked than her, but that's only happened 1 time.

Wretch, you and Spit have history, don't you?

VOIDSY: She knows about all of us being here due to the communicators listing us.
VOIDSY: We want to protect you, Wretch.
She nods.
VOIDSY: You and Spit have history, don't you?

WRETCH: ...
WRETCH: yeah.
WRETCH: i mean
WRETCH: shit
WRETCH: do you really wanna know about it
WRETCH: you gotta keep it secret cause like
WRETCH: ill get killed
WRETCH: and a shit ton of good people would die

Complete transparency, we are not good at keeping secrets. It comes with the multitude of voices problem.

No, don't tell us that secret then. If you want to say anything, only allude to it in broad categories of things, in ways that won't get people hurt.

>>786582
What >>786584 said. We'd love to know, but we like you more than that. Keep it to you until the crisis is over with.

We'd love to hear about it Wretch, but like the others here said it'd probably come out one way it another. Things seem to really slip out of us easily. Big downside of being a collective.

>>786582
We trust you, and we don't want to betray your confidence, but we're terrible with secrets.

>>786582
Don't tell us.

*nods
We need to know if Eastwood and anyone else know so that we know who to bring it up to, who not to (ex: we assume never reveal we know to Spit), etc

We want to protect you, make you feel comfortable, and know how best to do that.

>>786594
Dude, that's ideal, but be serious.

One of us is going to blab, and it won't be nearly as good an idea as we'd believe it was.

>>786596
This. Some guy will either think he's being clever, or try to troll the quest.

No, we're a collective, we could screw up keeping a secret. Just tell us if what we don't know means we should do anything.

Please don't tell us then, even if some of us are good at keeping secrets, not all of us are. It only takes one slip up for it to get out.

VOIDSY: But as a collective, we can't guarantee your secret's safety. We just can't.
VOIDSY: We're sorry.

WRETCH: thanks voidsy
WRETCH: i dont get much honesty from people
WRETCH: people love to fuckin lie n trick me
WRETCH: cause im real easy at believing shit
WRETCH: so thank you for bein real with me

She startles, looking a bit panicked.
WRETCH: shit hold on

She disconnects her call with you for the first time in a while.

uh oh

>contact Miller

so just a thought, the next time spit calls us, we don't say anything. Aside from vague forms of 'uh huh' 'yeah' 'sure' 'whatever' we say nothing, no flirting, no taunting no nothing. Everything we say could be a give-away to what we plan to do and could be used against us or our friends.

Instead we let her threaten us and show no response and just hang up when we feel like it.

Aw hell. What's everyone's online indicators say? We know Wretch and Eastwood live at the same place, and if Spit's offline then she might have tried to harass them irl.

Check everyone's online status.
Call Eastwood if he's on.

Is it time to assume battlestations?

>>786642
Maybe we should take this opportunity to heal up Buddy? Either via Primus or Crunk. Also I think Buddy should not use the magic hat/wand from now on. The health loss is too costly for its lifepool, and it seemed to be more painful to it than the other TCPs' enhanced abilities.

...I suppose the optimal way of healing our smaller TCPs is just to put them in Primus without the hat, since his STORAGE ability doesn't cost health normally. Might be worth giving Buddy a small bit of jelly to boost it up so it's not hurting anymore. Does STORAGE even recover Crunk's lost parts to enable her to heal again, though? Also I'm wondering if using the magic hat on Primus is worth the health cost when Crunk is the one being healed. Is it a net gain if Crunk then heals Primus? I'm not saying to test it out, I'm just wondering what conclusions we can come to based on the information we have.

>>786651
This. Eastwood is in the best position to intervene if necessary.

Eastwood may be in the best place to intervene, but if Spit's come round to give them a visit, then he probably knows. He lives with Wretch iirc?

Everyone is still listed as online.

VOIDSY: Eastwood? Eastwood?!
EASTWOOD: Chill, kid. What is it?
VOIDSY: Wretch went offline suddenly, is she okay?
EASTWOOD: I haven't heard any noise upstairs, so-

A crash from upstairs.

EASTWOOD: Well, there we go.
WRETCH: THAT LOUSY
WRETCH: KITTY FACE
WRETCH: MOTHERFUCKER

EASTWOOD: ...
EASTWOOD: What did you do?

Uh, we did nothing *intentionally*.

Might want to check up on what the fuck is going on in the game; we're missing something.

Uh, well, I don't think we're the exact lousy kitty face motherfucker in this case, because she was in the middle of speaking to us when she suddenly seemed startled and told us to hold on before disconnecting.

We had been talking about how Spit had called us, and how that went down. Wretch seemed disturbed by the Spit conversation but she seemed to be cheering up again when the disconnect happened.

We don't know, Eastwood, we don't know.

Spit called us recently and we ended up hanging up on her. Tried to mess with her in our usual way to get info but got nothing.

Then Wretch called us, and things seemed fine until it looked like she noticed something and disconnected. We thought Spit had come round to harass you two or something.

>WRETCH: THAT LOUSY KITTY FACE MOTHERFUCKER
>EASTWOOD: What did you do?
After gaining her trust and friendship, we told her she couldn't trust us.

And/or she just thought of something she already told us that's going to cause problems when the collective lets it slip.

Not sure. We confirmed we'd just gotten a call from Spit, who basically just tried to goad us and taunted that she was gonna eat us.

I assume Spit told Wretch we did something to sow the seeds of dissent in the ranks.

>>786693
Spit probably told Wretch how much we flirted with her. And considering some of the things some of the collective said, that might be upsetting for Wretch to hear.

>>786699
Then again, Wretch probably disconnected because she didn't want us to see her cry or something like that.

I'm not sure we did anything, or what we did if we did do anything.

>>786699
I figured as much too. I'm surprised it got to Wretch the way it did, though.

Ask Eastwood if he can talk to her for us, in case she's too pissed to pick up a call. We were being flirty with Spit to test her response and get a better feel for how her thought process works, not because of any actual attraction.

>>786704

I don't know if we were thinking that far, we were just trying to provoke responses or break her attempt at being creepy and intimidating.

>>786685
Uhhhh... is she really talking about us? She looked like she noticed something I mean there's a lot of kitty-faced motherfuckers around. She might even be talking about Spit. Could you find out for us?

We can guess, but we don't know. Can you find out for us?

Maybe she isn't talking about us. She said "motherfucker", but we're multiple motherfuckers.

>>786742
That could have been a slip of the tongue or something. Either way Eastwood thinks we might have done something. It's safer to think we did something than to think we didn't in terms of damage control.

VOIDSY: We may have flirted with Spit- as a tactical approach.
EASTWOOD: Okay. Gimme a second.
EASTWOOD: You flirted with a sadistic, god killing monster.
EASTWOOD: That Wretch really, really hates.
EASTWOOD: Now Wretch isn't the jealous type. I've seen her sleep around and screw who she pleases.
EASTWOOD: But did you REALLY think this would go well?!
VOIDSY: It was only a little, and it was solely strategic. A lot of us were thinking about it, but we didn't even say half of what we could have-

He cuts you off.
EASTWOOD: Look, I don't even like her that much. We have our own beef.
EASTWOOD: But even I know she's got some shit going down with Spit.
EASTWOOD: What it is, I don't know. I don't really want to.
EASTWOOD: But even if she didn't, that was a bad move.
EASTWOOD: You can't just flirt with everyone and expect to come out okay.

>>786749
Why the heck not?

>>786749
"But everyone deserves to be thought of as sexy sometimes. Also you are quite shiny and colorful."

>>786751
>>786752
Shush, Eastwood's right. We can't do this, there are preexisting relationships between these people. Spit and Wretch do not like each other, Wretch thought of us as a friend, so if she found out what we said to Spit, that's gonna hurt. We fucked up.

>>786752
Not to mention those curves, and that sassy pos- I mean, uh

>>786749
It's kind of our usual approach. Old habits die hard.

>EASTWOOD: You flirted with a sadistic, god killing monster.
Hey, we wanted to put the monster off balance, take an approach she probably hasn't had before. Not take the threat seriously, you know?

But yeah, you're right. We fucked up.

*sigh* Tell her to call us back when she calms down, or if she comes down.

Okay, we need to stop flirting with everything that moves. At the same time, though, it should be noted that most of the time it is incredibly insincere and sarcastic.

We're a collective and sometimes different things just come out. Unfortunately that happened. Doesn't make what happened right though and we'll have to own up to it and just try harder and repress certain thoughts like that from now on.

Honestly its a matter of spite. (Hm, spiting Spit.) Spit obviously wants to be treated as the hated and feared enemy, and this is a way of deliberately refusing to give that to her. Not considering how that approach might impact others was a mistake on our part though.

Yeah okay for serious, I can't speak for everyone but I got the impression it was mostly out of disrespect. Inappropriate flirting is pretty damn disrespectful.

It wasn't even flirting, we were trying to mess with her dumb act. You think we'd genuinely have any attraction to someone like that? She's horrible. It's not like we literally flirt with everyone.

I mean, parts of us do. Being a collective is confusing. I don't know. I want to say sorry but at the same time I feel like an apology I'd offer would be insincere, which would be worse.

It might also be because we flirted with Wretch first thing, when we met her, and she might be thinking it's the same sort of thing? It isn't. Wretch must be familiar with the concept of insincere flirting. But trying to explain it off feels like it'd come off as weak or shallow.

... Maybe we should do something for her. We made a mask that allowed us to manifest in our TCP's minds. We could make one for her, for her TCPs. I'd like to think someone could wear two masks and we could both appear in there, but I doubt they work that way.

>>786773
>>786775
>>786778
These.
We were just trying to fuck with her.
Not literally, mind you. She's crazy gross.

>>786778
I agree with and share these sentiments.

>>786778
this exactly. whether or not we did anything wrong, Wretch is an ally who was hurt by what we did and we should make it up to her instead of bothering with excuses.

>>786778
+1

>>786749
We flirt with dozens of creatures accross numerous worlds and universes simultaneously every day.
We can't exactly turn it off.

>>786790
Well I mean we talked to Eastwood and Miller without flirting with them.

>>786791
We kind of flirted with Miller, she just took it as an innocent compliment.

...so anyway. How can we smooth this over? Do you think she'd forgive us if we just told her we were doing it to screw with Spit?

HOLDUPholdupHoldUp we were not just flirting, in fact I think we did more being weird and threatening her as we did flirt and all of this was to mess with her, she probably now thinks we're a bunch of scatterbrained imbeciles that can't focus for shit.
We meant absolutely non of that flirting crap!

If anything I think Wretch is upset for a reason of things:
•She doesn't understand why we flirted with Spit.
•We told her she couldn't trust completely us because we're a collective.
•We reminded her of the nature of a collective and now she worried about whether all of us actually like her, or if some or all of us are lying.

Trying to get a reaction out of Spit seemed to make sense at the time, but we failed to consider that we're coming into a non-blank state situation, things have already happened between people. To try to explain and justify what we did any further than that would be wrong. We've already established what we made was a bad call because it got us no info from Spit and it hurt Wretch. Those of us who are trying to flirt with Eastwood, shush, you're not helping here.

What we need to do now is to apologise and somehow make it up to Wretch once she's calmed down, and stop trying to flirt with everyone, or at the very, very least find out more about that person and how they relate to others so we can apply a level of discretion by considering who it might hurt if they found out.

Being a collective, it's like ideas can have a form of momentum, even the bad ones. Group think kinda always applies with us, which leads to faulty decision making sometimes. Having a load of different people having ideas for things to do any say conflicting and agreeing with each other, kinda means we can blurt out some things, and then just roll with it.

>>786798
We got lucky it wasn't taken the wrong way then.

>>786749
Once Wretch comes back tell her that as a collective there are many different opinions vying to express themselves at all times. Some thought we should flirt with Spit but many thought it was a bad idea and kept it subdued and strategic. Some thought Miller was really cute, and some think that we should kill everyone, but nearly all of our collective think Wretch is amazing and like her more than anyone.

VOIDSY: Everyone deserves to be thought of as sexy sometimes. You look shiny and colorful yourself.
VOIDSY: Not to mention the curves- fuck, sorry. Collective.

Even without eyes, you get the sense that he's glaring at you.

VOIDSY: Things get jumbled up or just...come out along the way. It doesn't make what we did okay, and we're going to try and own up to it and repress this kind of stuff if we can.
VOIDSY: They're old habits to break. We flirt with dozens of beings every single day, and it's how we've solved a lot of problems.

Still glaring. You just keep talking in hopes that he chills out a little.

VOIDSY: We didn't mean any of the flirtation though- it was all insincere and an attempt to throw Spit off balance, to make her feel like we don't take her seriously. We'd never actually be attracted to someone as horrible as her.

VOIDSY: Can you just....tell her to call us back when she calms down? We want to make this right, even if we don't exactly know how right now.
VOIDSY: No matter what our collective ends up doing, we all like Wretch and think she's absolutely amazing.

EASTWOOD: Alright.
EASTWOOD: Fine. It's my turn to speak my mind.
EASTWOOD: Whether you like her or not, I think you're absolutely terrible for her.
EASTWOOD: You talk about all this insincerity, and how you didn't mean it- what the hell did you do when you first met her, huh?
EASTWOOD: I can't say for sure, but by guessing how smitten she is with you, she fell right for your smooth talk.
EASTWOOD: Wretch may be loud and crass, but she's also gullible as fuck.
EASTWOOD: You want to apologize and fix this? I support that. Even from an objective standpoint, we need you here in this alliance.
EASTWOOD: Hell, I think she needs a real friend and not just some crusty weirdo who lives in her basement.
EASTWOOD: Don't fuck this up. You're on thin ice right now, but if you're willing to turn this around, I might change my mind on you.

Eastwood clears his nonexistant throat and taps anxiously on his crystals.
EASTWOOD: I'll go help her calm down, but in turn you have to move with our current plan.
EASTWOOD: We've agreed to go back to our bases, get a new TCP each, and gear up for war.
EASTWOOD: We can keep in touch using comms and regroup if we need to. Spit's going to have one TCP against 11, and I like those odds.
EASTWOOD: Looking at our current plans, you'll need to spawn one TCP, create a guardian animal, gear up every cat with weapons, some kind of inventory, supplies, and clothes. If you want to go ahead and do this goofy ass battle of the bands deal, I guess an instrument for your new guy would be in order too.
EASTWOOD: I can bounce type ideas off you while you head back, if you're up for it.

Some ideas:
-Mom/Mama type? Something that has a natural instinct and ability to protect others. A counterpart to Dad's power of authority.
-A sphinx (an intelligent cat-like guardian creature that speaks in riddles)
-An UNHALLOWED SANCTUARY. A private place where Spit can't micromanage and coerce her TCPs, where ours' could use superior teamwork and diplomacy to their advantage. We will need more team building training before the kitties are ready for this.

Ok. Tell her we were worried when she suddenly logged off, please?

Oh, speaking of ideas, there's one we had that we'd need everyone to give the ok on to work. Everyone in our alliance, I mean. We had the idea that Spit's weak point is probably her relationship with her TCPs. Plus, she's arrogant, not as... uh, humble as the rest of us. I mean, we could all admit to the idea that in some situations, when they're trained right, our TCPs could know better than us for some things. That we can trust them, you know? At least more than Spit can trust hers, the way we imagine she'll treat them.

So... if we created something that would give the TCPs some advantage against us, like a way to hide from us, or something that could protect them from us, if they wanted? It'd be a risk to us, but much more of a risk to Spit. As a void god, with dominion over identity and discord, I'd guess we could create some sort of "void" for divine perception or influence. Gods wouldn't be able identify or influence anything within it, and the whole idea of a god creating anti-god things probably falls into the domain of discord. Upsetting the hierarchy, you know? Set the stage for possible revolutions. And it'd be a display of trust towards our TCPs, as well. Us being willing to give them something like that, them having some tangible evidence of our trust for them, could help a lot versus whatever loyalty breaking shenanigans Spit might try.

But, I'm guessing there's a good chance you guys might have rules against gods creating anti-god stuff? And like... I mean, being a void, and if our identity is being a god and we add discord to the mix, combining those two together, we might end up being some sort of... anti-god. A god of ungodliness. I mean we have plenty of that in our world to import. I could see you guys having problems with that.

Plus, if we did create some sort of cavernous underground UNHALLOWED SANCTUARY, well when we made ruins they got filled with puzzles and we don't know what might be filled in in that sort of place. It'd be a literally, actually capitalized Unholy place. Maybe making items that had that effect would be better? But the idea is to create something that Spit's TCPs would have easy access to. To enable their potential rebellion.

Speaking of creating items, do you think we could create matching masks to the Mask of Courage we already made, that would let you guys speak and manifest directly in your TCPs' minds as well? Would you like us to? I bet Wretch would like being able to do that with hers.

>Check the map while sending tcp's back

The flirting did start out somewhat insincere, and we'll admit that. That doesn't change that current flirting with Wretch is sincere.

So to start out I'm thinking of with the potential plan of having tcp's craft their own gear would it be helpful for them to learn to use the surroundings to create camouflage and be able to make weapons from what they find? such as wooden crossbows.
I've got an idea for a magical mask item to make sure the tcp's can see behind themselves too, but I'm not sure if it's needed.

Sure, go ahead. You or Wretch might like a pheonix type, it's a flaming bird from Earth myth able to be reborn whenever it dies.

We should do a poltergeist or sight TCP to get intel on Spit.

Tell Eastwood about how Spit knew we weren't home.

>>786888
agreed! i like the idea of a cat-like guardian. maybe a MANTICORE with a face styled after one of our masks? that'd be neat!!

team-building is a great idea too. i think keeping morale and rapport high will get us far.

as for a type: is there anything we're explicitly missing in our team?

Thank you Eastwood, we owe you big time.

Well, we've got a bunch of ideas about a next TCP: Alchemist or Technician if we got focus on building stuff. Or if we feel like we need info more: Poltergeist or Surveillance.

>>786891
Yeah, Eastwood needs to know about that, Spit has no TCPs atm. So something really strange is going on if she can track us.

To join the internal discussion about guardian creatures, I'm for just a plain Sphinx. Big old cat that asks riddles.

As for our issue with filtering, maybe we should try and be aware of what each other is saying and shoot down ideas that we feel are bad? Stop bad ideas before happen? Just to get a bit more of a consensus before we act?

>>786892
We have, in game terms:
A healer, a glass cannon, a leader, and a bruiser.
The others have so far: a healer, a glass cannon, and a bruiser.

I feel like a Mom type would be related to nurturing, improving, and protecting. If we want to go for a peace win, that sort of sympathetic figure encouraging personal growth will be important for helping Spit's emotionally stunted chew toys.

We should be making sure to abuse our motif as much as possible. Masks! Masks everywhere! So many uses, so little time!

>>786885
Mom type would be a good idea to be a counterpart to Dad type.
and Sanctuary type is always a good plan.

>>786892
We're missing a spy/scout/infiltrator. We know basically nothing about Spit, which is awful considering she has a reputation for being crafty and ending games extremely quickly. I reccomend a poltergeist type because it could just float through Spits defenses undetected giving us a huge information advantage. It would also give us a chance to try and convert her TCPs without putting ours in danger.

>>786885
On the topic of weapons, Buddy has a knife we found back at the start. It came with a note to watch our backs. Is that typical fortune cookie bullshit (Fortune Cookie, predictive Food Type? :P) or is it something we should be keeping in mind?

Thinking of giving Marnet a shotgun with beanbag rounds. Non-lethal ammo that can deal damage, but can't drive a kitty into Kill range.

Maybe Primus could carry a riot shield or tower shield of some sort, to provide portable cover for our allies and better shield whoever he's healing from piercing damage.

Oh, did we ever ask anyone what they'd recommend we TEACH?

>>786891
I like the idea of a pheonix type. Maybe run it over with Eastwood and get his opinion on how that'd go over.

>>786916
What if they don't get along? They might end up giving the other TCPs contradicting orders and confusing them! Or Dad might think we're trying to replace her or something!

Then again, they could end up working well together. Might even help Dad not feel so overwhelmed with the responsibility of being the leader if she has another leader to help her.

It's a gamble on how this'll turn out. But obviously, since Dad is female, if we make a Mom, it's gonna end up being a male! XD

>>786885
mention the idea of a cuttlefish tcp

You give the orders for your TCPs to return home, and with a very drawn out group hug with their new friends, they're off.

VOIDSY: First things first, Spit knew we weren't home.
EASTWOOD: That'd be an easy guess, considering she can't create TCPs right now. None of us can until we return to our bases.
EASTWOOD: Could be she has some way of spying, but knowing her, a guess to fake you out lines up with her techniques.

VOIDSY: Some type ideas we're having...a mom type, a poltergeist type, or a phoenix type. Possibly some others if we can think them up. Still working on it. Cuttlefish is also a possibility, as are alchemist and technician.
EASTWOOD: Hm. Mom would probably work well with Dad's abilities, if I'm guessing right. It's not a bad call there, so long as they get along.
EASTWOOD: A poltergeist is a really interesting idea, so long as it doesn't try pranking you. If the ghosts where you come from are anything like ours, passing through walls would be no big deal- really useful for recon.
EASTWOOD: A phoenix...I think I'm familiar with that urban legend. I don't think any TCP is impervious to death once a kill command has been issued, but having one that can cheat it even once would be invaluable.
EASTWOOD: Alchemist, technician...both potentially useful. Less so than the others, I'd say- unless you want to go for specific skillsets. If you are looking for specifics, they'd be incredibly good.
EASTWOOD: Cuttlefish, though. I have no idea what that is. Can't really help you there.

VOIDSY: We're pretty set on the idea of a sphynx for our guardian. It's an intelligent cat guardian that tells riddles, and is quite fearsome.
EASTWOOD: Now there's an idea. No issues there, I'd say go for it.
EASTWOOD: I talked to Miller, and she's going to make some kind of sea predator. Looking forward to seeing that in action.
EASTWOOD: As for myself, I'm going with a simple construct. Made to deal with intruders swiftly and navigate the caves with skill. Easy.

VOIDSY: One of our big ideas we've been mulling over is an UNHALLOWED SANCTUARY. Possibly underground, it'd be a completely invisible zone to us gods. A place where we cannot see or command, and where TCPs themselves can make decisions and discuss. We outnumber Spit significantly, and our TCPs get along great. We might be able to sway them over to our side without Spit interfering, and nobody needs to die.
EASTWOOD: Hm.
EASTWOOD: I like this. I really dig this.
EASTWOOD: Your camp's in the middle, so that's on you to create. Nice thinking, newbie.

VOIDSY: How about matching masks? Possibly even for your TCPs...
EASTWOOD: Definitely a good way to go about it, seeing as motif stuff is a great investment.
EASTWOOD: I'm not certain on how it'd work with our cats, but it's worth a shot.

VOIDSY: And hey...can you tell Wretch we were worried when she logged off? Even if our flirting with Spit was insincere, none of our actions towards her are. We care about her.
EASTWOOD: You coming in screaming as soon as she did clued me in on that.
EASTWOOD: Sure. She could probably use that right now.

EASTWOOD: What else you got?

Don't say this out loud, but, Oh man... it's gonna be tough for us to survive in their world, if this is how well we can stay in a good relationship with them, huh?

Ask Eastwood, "Out of curiosity, is there a way we could help you and Wretch, and Miller, win, without us claiming the prize in the end?"

>>786954
No, I think we have to. In fact, I think we're the only one who can and will stop Spit.

Rein is unwilling to kill. Spit will continue to grow in strength. Apparently nobody as the balls to do the stupid thing and go kamikaze, or there's too much interpersonal baggage and rules holding everyone back. There may come a time when Rein can no longer contain her.

We have power over Identity and Discord, or at least we will, and Masks are our motif - putting on a different persona. We need to win, and keep winning.

Spit may be irredeemable as she is, yet we have the exact Domain set to change that without killing anyone or upsetting the status quo into open conflict. But she's powerful, and we have a lot of catching up to do.

>>786954
If we didn't claim the prize, who would take care of our cats? And how would we bone Wretch? And how would we kill Spit?

Ask him about why he chose a gun type, and why he chose the generic "gun" over something like "railgun", "machinegun", or "casaba-howitzer". Also ask what tactics Spit has used in the past, she'll probably mix it up, but it would help to gain a more thorough understanding of how she operates.

>wb antimagic tcp, or.. trying to think of a creature that naturally neutralizes things around them to counter magic
We're having a lot of tcp ideas, but what do you think will round out our team ability, role, and type wise? Are there any types we should consider especially?

Should we add any types of creatures to the world that would give support? More base/dungeon types? Or will that sort of thing be pointless with a war going on?

Oh! And with our motifs/powers what sort of Identity Reaffirming things can you think of? When it comes to discord how about something that disorients hostile creatures/tcp's?

A Null tcp? No abilities work around it within whatever radius that may be

>>786970
>>786962
Again, arms race, power creep, and being careful with Abstracts.

I support PHOENIX or POLTERGEIST. It's ok if we get pranked, honestly. It'll spice things up!

I agree with Phoenix type.

I'll support Mom or Phoenix.

I like mom because​ it's complementary. Phoenix is also good for a potential save

... Can we make a phoenix mom?

A Poltergeist TCP would be cool.

...Though throwing a maybe crazy idea out there, what if we made a Peace TCP?

I think the closest thing to phoenix and mom together might be Quetzalcoatl, though that would be a far more powerful beast, what with it's ability to control knowledge and learning.

Barring that i'll vote for phoenix.

One last hurrah for Kazoo TCP

>>787003
Fuck it. Fuck all the theorycrafting I've done.

I'm going all in on kazoo TCP.

Are we voting now?

I support poltergeist type and am against mom type, as Dad already fills that niche.

i believe in you, kazoo tcp

Mom Type.

Guys no we haven't even mentioned Kazoo as an option to Eastwood. What would a musical instrument type even be like? Weapon, probably. We don't want a second Weapon type, we've been told that's a bad idea. I guess it's possible it might be a Body type though... that wouldn't be as bad but idk if it'd be any good either.

A poltergeist does not have any particular resonance with masks.

A PHANTOM, however...

"Hey, Eastwood, you said Spit has won a few games and one of the prizes includes keeping TCPs, right? So is it possible for Spit to use their abilities outside of the game to help her spy on you, Wretch, and Miller?"

Phantom of the opera type tcp
He works just like the poltergeist but fits the motif AND can sing

Can we combine the Sphinx with the Phoenix? A Sphoenix Cat?

Changing vote to Phantom Type

Phantom works (assuming that votes for phantom and poltergeist are counted as one to avoid the spoiler effect).

How about a straight up Ninja type? That'd be useful for stealth and espionage, and for combat as well. The game might even give them some ninja magic - or at least tricks that look like magic (which might actually be better, if actual magic has the costs it does). Plus, ninjas are honest, dutiful and loyal. Seriously, read up on the sengoku period, ninajs were the only trustworthy people in japan back then.

Plus, ninja masks.

Another vote for Phantom type, synergy with our masks would be good.

As for the sanctuary idea, we should probably set up the area before spawning it in. Since we'll lose connection to that area as soon as we do.

I heard body type so I just want to calmly bring up:

Wing Type

Phantom Type

My vote goes for phoenix type- I don't like the idea of being pranked.

VOIDSY: Correcting our previous idea of poltergeist to phantom type- a similar type of specter. We hope it may have some synergy with our mask motif, seeing as it lines up well with a story from our world.
EASTWOOD: Go for it. The more you can line up your TCP with both your goals and motifs, the stronger your team will be.
VOIDSY: We think we'll go for either that or phoenix type, then.

VOIDSY: Is there any way to help you, Wretch and Miller win without claiming the prize?
EASTWOOD: Weird question, but okay.
EASTWOOD: I mean sure, you could force your TCPs to go rogue and lose by that, but you'd be essentially committing suicide.
EASTWOOD: So if that's your plan, know what you're in for there.

VOIDSY: Why did you pick gun type, why not something more specific?
EASTWOOD: Gets the job done.
EASTWOOD: If you go and specify, you'll get exactly what you want...but chances are the ability will be similar to the generic type anyway. Guns shoot bullets, period. Some guns have more specific purposes, sure- but you risk making a unitasker.
EASTWOOD: And all I care about is if it can shoot good.

VOIDSY: Would adding more creatures to the world help?
EASTWOOD: Nope.
EASTWOOD: That kind of stuff helps give the world flavor, but unless you have something specific for a purpose in mind, I'd say we're about set on that.
EASTWOOD: You'd be better off focusing on gearing up your TCPs.
VOIDSY: How about more bases or dungeons?
EASTWOOD: Eh, not really.
EASTWOOD: The unhallowed sanctuary is a great idea, but I can't think of anything else really- though if you have a goal for your base, you might want to think on that.

VOIDSY: We'd like to work more with both our motifs and domains. We have lots of ideas for masks, but what kind of things can you think of for discord?
EASTWOOD: Discord seems like a pretty easy domain to work with. Anything disruptive or chaotic would do good work there.
EASTWOOD: Just make sure that you don't end up disrupting the alliance or your own team.

Your TCPs are almost home. You will only have one more chance to talk to Eastwood before reaching your base.

>>787120
Is it possible to force items onto enemy TCPs? Like, if we made a Mask of Betrayal could we force one of Spit's TCPs to wear it and thus cause it to go rogue? It would line up with our aspects pretty well too. It'd probably be a last resort sort of thing considering plan A is the Unhallowed Sanctuary.

Considering that story's Phantom is a masked agent of discord, I think we've got a relatively strong argument.

>>787120
"You said one of the prizes is keeping our TCPs, right? Since we know Spit has won a few times in the past, doesn't that mean she can use her TCPs and/or their abilities to spy on you, Wretch, and Miller?"

Ok, I think we're definitely going to make an UNHALLOWED SANCTUARY, but for best result we need everyone in the alliance to be on board with that so our TCPs know we all decided to trust them with it, so that we can all tell our TCPs about it (when we confirm we've made it to you all), and because it's not something you want to be surprised by.

Could you tell Wretch? It'd be bad for us to call her up just to tell her a serious business thing right now. We'll tell Miller.

Command: Shoot Miller a quick message telling her what's what with the sanctuary idea.

>Phantom TCP

I'm kind of leery of a Phantom TCP because it seems like a TCP's personality is strongly influenced by its type, albeit sometimes in roundabout ways. A Phantom TCP might be prone to some negative things! Angst. Vengefulness. A feeling of restlessness, being lost, or of being eternally tormented. Opera.

>>787131
Yeah but we have a bunch of lovable TCPs to give a great support network to an angsty Phantom, and Dad can use her power if necessary to control the Phantom if things go wrong.

>>787132

Sure, but I still think the idea of a Ninja TCP would fit our needs just as well and be less potential trouble.

>>787127
Agreed, Phantom TCP to align with our motifs.

Message Miller to relay the Unhallowing idea.

>>787133
The thing about a ninja TCP is that, while a phantom could simply float through her defenses, I in no way doubt Spit's ability to set up her base such that the only possible result from an attempted infiltration by a more tangible TCP is capture followed by torture followed by death.

Does Spit have any known weaknesses? Have we asked that question already?

File 148948251262.gif - (19.81KB , 500x500 , 13.gif )

VOIDSY: Is it possible to force items onto enemy TCPs?
EASTWOOD: Sure.
EASTWOOD: Just as easily, expect things to be forced upon you. Spit won't hold back in that department.
EASTWOOD: She'll pull every dirty trick in the book, so you have to be prepared to deal with that.

VOIDSY: Is it also possible that Spit is using TCPs she kept as prizes to spy on us?
EASTWOOD: Nope. Whole different plane.

VOIDSY: Does Spit have any known weaknesses?
EASTWOOD: I wish I had an easy answer to that question.
EASTWOOD: I guess the best thing that comes to mind is a disregard for others...she's a sadist through and through, and I'm willing to bet that's reflected onto her own TCPs as well.
EASTWOOD: We'll have to watch for it, but that's my guess.

VOIDSY: Can you tell Wretch about the sanctuary? We're going to tell Miller.
EASTWOOD: On it.

You relay your idea to Miller.

MILLER: Oooh! That sounds PERFECT!
MILLER: I'll be sure to have my kitties trained in all sorts of manners. We can't make a bad first impression, after all.
MILLER: Gifts, too...maybe we can bring gifts...

She trails off, deep in thought about how to sway the opposing team to your side.

You go to turn your attention away to your cats, but it looks like Eastwood has one more thing on his mind.

EASTWOOD: And hey, Void.
EASTWOOD: I'm gonna give you shit until the end of time, even if you win this.
He rummages around and pulls out a bundle, letting a cigarette of some sort and what appears to be a lighter fall out into one of his paws. He lights up, letting the smoke mix in with his own.
EASTWOOD: And if you lose this, well...let's make it a run to remember.
EASTWOOD: No turning back now. Not that that was ever an option for you.
EASTWOOD: You know what I mean.
EASTWOOD: Let's give her hell.

Your TCPs have arrived home, and they spend a fair amount of time regrouping and preparing for the new arrival. Buddy is healed up within Primus, bringing its health back to its maximum of OKAY. Primus himself stretches and does his best to keep everyone's spirits up. Dad seems somber, but determined to make this work. She directs the others in their preparations, and Marnet aids in gathering up the animals outside. Both Bee and the capybara are restless, and the lobster type notes that perhaps they can feel how tense this all is.

It seems like an eternity, but it comes. The TCP LIMIT is now 12.

SPAWN: PHANTOM

Tell our TCPs we'll get through this. We've got a plan, but first we can spawn in new friend and the final member of our team.

>>787277
SPAWN: Phantom

SPAWN: Pheonix

Spawn Phantom

Wait! Let's be specific so we don't accidentally make a creature instead of a TCP!

SPAWN: PHANTOM TCP

Spawn TCP: Phantom

Spawn Horror: Sphinx

Spawn that phantom tcp and teach it the phantom of the opera - all of it

Spawn that phantom tcp and teach it the phantom of the opera - all of it

Well, with no support for ninja (and I can see the intangibility argument, though I'm not sure if it really would be intangible?) I'll put my weight behind SPAWN: PHANTOM. I'm hoping we could retroactively tell our TCPs that we're going to do that before the TCP limit was raised.

I'm worried our window to CREATE comes to an end when all the TCPs have been created by everyone, so.... First, let's get the big one out of the way.

I don't know if visualization helps, but just in case it does: as close to the intersection between everyone's divine territories as possible; at least partly underground or wholly if we can manage; hopefully with hidden entrances for convenient TCP access; and preferably both defensible and not unbearable to stay in for them... CREATE: UNHALLOWED SANCTUARY.

And then another flood of creations. Next one we've pretty much agreed on: CREATE: GUARDIAN SPHINX

Not sure how well these will work, but let's try:
CREATE: WRETCH MASK
CREATE: MILLER MASK
CREATE: EASTWOOD MASK

Aaand... let's see, we need accommodations for our new TCPs and for allied guests, and defense. CREATE: TOWER EXTENSION + CURTAIN WALL and while we're at it let's CREATE: HEDGE MAZE for more defense and GARDENS to go with it. And TEACH MARNET: GARDENING because why not, it's something enjoyable you can do with big snipper claws, and she can learn her way around the hedge maze for extra defense advantage and to escort our allies in. Hopefully TCPs in our tower will be able to look down and see into the hedge maze as well, maybe guiding people on defense?

For that we need communications, though. If the tower can support it, CREATE: TELEPHONE MAST and WINDMILL GENERATOR, and GIVE TCPs: MOBILE PHONES.

>>787308
The phone system is unnecessary, Wretch spawned in some walkie talkies for everyone when we were at her base.

Also agreeing on the CREATE: Sphinx as I'd forgotten about that.

For the unhallowed sanctuary, agreeing on the theme, just a neutral but pleasant looking place.

I feel like we should get our new TCP settled in and briefed on the situation before we create all that though.

>>787308
Mobile phones are terribly complicated technological innovations built on over a century of complex electrical infrastructure. They may have a magic cost.
Luckily we already have Walky-talkies.

Create: Windmill Generator
Create: Battery Bank
Create: Telephone mast
Create: Radio Repeater/Amplifier

Now the walkies have amazing range.

Spawn: PHOENIX

>>787275
Hey Buddy, are you okay? We're sorry it hurt so bad. You won't ever have to use those things again, alright? At least we learned that in a safe place, instead of trying to use them in a dangerous situation.

SPAWN: PHANTOM

CREATE: SPHYNX GUARDIAN
Let's GIVE all our TCPs masks themed on themselves. Or we could ask if they have any requests for types of masks?

I want the architecture on the Unhallowed Sanctuary to be reminiscent of the Parthenon, for irony's sake. I'd also like to make sure the boundary of the sanctuary continues upwards indefinitely, just to be safe.

>>787328
If it's underground we probably don't want that, we don't want our blind spot extending into our base properly / our TCP's home.

SPAWN: Pheonix

>create backwards headmasks for 5. Small eye shaped masks worn facing behind someone that allows them to see behind themselves while seeing ahead
>spawn Phoenix(down) tcp
>teach tcp's basic camouflage creation
>Buddy go check on the herbs

SPAWN: PHOENIX TCP

SPAWN: Phantom TCP

SPAWN: Sphnix Horror

>>787358
This.

Guys, spawn is the command for making TCPs. Create is the command for making creatures and such.

Spawn Phantom

spawn phoenix tcp!

Spawn Phantom

>>787339
Yeah, and if it were supposed to be hidden the blind spot would alert Spit to its location.

Spawn phoenix TCP!

Spawn phantom

SPAWN: Phantom.

>CREATE: SPHINX HORROR

A winged horror with a blank masked face comes into being, wandering around and spouting nonsense for the first few minutes of its life. It's rather imposing, albeit a bit silly as it gets a feel on life.

>CREATE: UNHALLOWED SANCTUARY
The world rumbles beneath your feet, but you are distinctly aware that the UNHALLOWED SANCTUARY lays far below your base- completely seperate from the rest of the world. This sanctuary can now be accessed from your BASEMENT.

Clearly the only proper name for this beast is Danny.

>>787451
I like

This fellow looks like a CMYK if you ask me.

WOW I LOVE THEM!!!!!

>>787447
"Radiance"

>>787449
Seconding Jasper.

Looking good.

Tosca (female) or Faustus (male) would be suitable highbrow names.

i'm really digging "danny" or "tosca" for names!

I also vote Danny, Danny is a good name.

>>787463
Tosca is neat.

I'm not thrilled with Faustus though.
Somehow it doesn't bode well with me to name a TCP after one who made a deal with the devil when a devil is our enemy.

i like faustus honestly

>>787447
Awesome!

Let's name this one Spectral. Dual meaning!

>>787463
But what if the TCP is an "it" like Buddy?

>>787466
What can I say, I like to play with fire.

>>787447
name: Specter

>>787449
I like Jasper.

>>787460
Thirding Jasper. Assuming that this TCP is male.

Jasper, definitely.

Fancy! NAME: RENÉ

Those wrists remind me of laced sleeves. Plus, phantoms are french... there's a domino mask thing going, too. That makes me think of a classical highwayman, but that might not be what we want to encourage, exactly. Perhaps something similar, though... a three musketeers sort of theme? Keeping in mind the stealth/espionage idea, though.

For our new TCP, TEACH: ONE FOR ALL AND ALL FOR ONE, (ninja-style) HONOUR and FRIENDSHIP.
and GIVE: CLOAK and LARGE-FEATHERED HAT

I like Jasper and Tosca.

I don't think we should teach our new TCP anything yet. Let the rest of our TCPs teach it the basics to introduce it to the group. Then teach what we want it to know afterwards.

>>787511
Maybe not honor, for a surveillance type. I think this one might have to do some questionable things.

>>787513
Agreed, letting Dad teach it will help endear it to the others. Plus it'll be interesting to see what she decides to teach.

Teach: Organ Playing

Create Horror(Familiar): Creepy Organ

This living Organ is bound to an accompanying mask which must be worn by the player to use this objects magic. The organ feels when it is touched or played and sees, hears, and feels (both emotionally and tactically) whatever the wearer does.
This Organ can manipulate the hearts and minds of all that hear it when played. By pouring in some energy while playing emotively, the masked player can alter the emotions of all in earshot, or even draw them into a trance like state.
This creature feeds off of the raw emotion of those that hear it. When left un-played it will occasionally play on it's own in a variety of melodies. If it's abandoned for a long period of time, it may attempt to send poential listeners into trance so it can devour them. Devoured creatures are left alive for as long as possible while being subjected to constant pain as to maximize the harvested emotion. The player can order the Organ to devour an entranced victim if he so desires. Doing so vastly increases the organs ability to manipulate those around it.
In optimal crowded conditions the organ might absorb more emotion than it can use at once, this energy is transferred to the mask bearer as health.
The Organ can be summoned to the masked wearers location at will but cannot be dismissed, it must be called somewhere else or physically moved.

>>787534
Er, what? How about no? Eastwood said that horrors are radioactive hellbeasts. Something like that might not be controllable.

>>787535
The Sphinx is a Horror already.
