When do we send them to the tower? Eh? Eh?

i think now is the best time honestly, we're spinning our wheels with the teaching and creating

Name Defiance: cat

> Kill Defiance

>CREATE: SECURITY CAMERAS



A couple cameras pop into existence, already attached to various points of the TCPs house. They’ll automatically record everything to some little electronic discs, which you can take out and watch later with the right player device.

>CREATE: TCP BARRIER DEVICE



A strange device snaps into existence on the little teal planet. It creates a force field, invisible until approached, that envelops the whole planet in a sphere. The device can be programmed to let specific TCPs go through the force field, while keeping all others from going through it at all.
Right now, it’s automatically set to only let your TCPs through.

>TEACH LANGUAGE - CAT
>TEACH MISCHIEF - CAT
>TEACH READING - CAT



The cat is just a cat. Four legs, a tail, two little pointy ears. You can’t INFLUENCE the cat. You can’t really do anything with the cat, unless you tell the TCPs to do something to it.

>TEACH EXTREME TEEN COMBAT - FENNEL
>TEACH KICKFLIPS - FENNEL
>TEACH FIRST AID - WINDY
>CREATE: TELESCOPE
>GIVE GUNS - ALL
>TEACH GUN SAFETY - ALL



Fennel thanks you for the radical skills, and Windy thanks you for the actually useful skills; neither of them see why they need guns right now, though, especially without bullets. They each put a gun in their inventories.
Right now, they’re interested in checking out the telescope that you put in their tower.



Windy taps and rotates bits on the telescope, wondering what it does… they notice it has a little bit of glass in the smaller end. Fennel asks for a turn, and also taps and twists some knobs, musing about the bit of glass, too.

It takes a few minutes of back and forth playing with it, but eventually, the two cats figure out that they can see into the eyepiece.



Hmmmm… This is that pink planet that got created earlier. It’s not empty! It was hard to see what got put on it when it was created, if anything, but- something seems strange.



Windy thinks for a second, and lets Fennel look through the telescope too.

Fennel makes surprised glass tinkling sounds, yes, yes, that planet is interesting… Windy speaks up, a slow whistle, saying that they want to go check it out. Windy was taught to be ambitious, and right now their ambition is to check out this complex maze, and this pink planet off in the distance. There might be treasure… or danger! But they feel prepared to handle it.

Fennel squeaks, it’s not sure if it’s really ready to go on an ADVENTURE yet, but if Frog-Crimes can’t think of anything else to prepare it beforehand, it’ll be fine with what it has now, it’s sure.

Send your TCPs on an ADVENTURE?
Remember, while on an ADVENTURE, the only commands you can use to influence your TCPs, aside from giving them direct commands or suggestions, are CHECK and KILL.

yes

>ADVENTURE TIME

>Bring cat as ally on quest

Wait! Give Windy a clipboard, a paper pad, and pencils.

Give 'em both some rope that is strong but compact and lightweight (and has little lights in it because why the heck not)

>Give all: Bullets (just in case, and because why not)
>Teach all: Common sense
>Teach all: Deductive and inductive reasoning
If they're going investigating, may as double check that they have investigative skills.

>yes!

don't teach fennel common sense, teach fennel: dialectical materialism

Give 'em both some rope that is strong but compact and lightweight (and has little lights in it because why the heck not)

enough rope to hang themselves. give them coax cable and carabiners and toothpicks (loosies) instead

>Give all: Bullets

Curses! Foiled again!

>Bullets: Be nerf gun bullets instead of real bullets.

>Yes, go do the adventure thing.

> Time to go on an adventure!

Give Windy: a buncha rope, and a grappling hook

>Teach Windy how to find their way back home
>create two (one use) return pads for the tcp's to takeep
>create home teleporter pad

create a raging fire in their house

>GIVE CLIPBOARD- WINDY
>GIVE PAPER PAD- WINDY
>GIVE PENCILS- WINDY



Ooh! Windy enjoys this, they can now write stuff on the paper, and read what they wrote! There are a lot of situations where this could be useful. Windy tests out a pencil, enjoying the tactile feel of the graphite scraping off on the paper.

>GIVE CHRISTMAS LIGHT STRINGS- ALL



The two TCPs are… curious, about this gift. Did you intend for it to be climbing rope? Clicking the button at one end of the string makes the bulbs light up, which is cute, but kinda hurts to hold for a while. Well, maybe they’ll find a use for this stuff anyway, but it’s too big for Fennel’s inventory, so it puts its string in its room. Windy puts their string in their messenger bag.

>GIVE BULLETS- ALL



Oh, bullets… Windy and Fennel look a little uncomfortable.
So, you actually do mean to arm them.
Neither TCP is sure what you’re planning, but they thank you all the same.

Okay, so it’s time to go on an ADVENTURE now, right?

>BRING CAT AS ALLY ON QUEST

The, what now?



Windy and Fennel shift a little bit. It’s cute, and they’re glad you gave them another little friend on their planet, but… something feels strange.

Oh well, no reason not to bring it along!

ADVENTURE START!



Right off the bat, there’s a fork in the path. Which way do you go?

(also, a note from your friendly author: to make things easier on us, I’m putting a little map on the side. More of it will be revealed as Windy logs it away on their clipboard.)

left！

Wasn't the purple planet to the right..?

Uh. If it's not too late, create universal 3D cardinal direction system.

It's definitely too late for a compass though.
