OOC INTRO

We've gotten a nice first round for the start of the game! There's a form below for you all to introduce yourselves, or get reacquainted after the interest check, and start your plotting in game! Quests will be releasing in about a week along with the first event that will center largely around these quests. Afterwards, we plan on having a temperature check of sorts where you can all express thoughts or concerns on the pacing, handling, or anything else. Things aren't fully set in stone, and we can make adjustments moving forward!

Remember to follow the plurk (

baymods) for more minor updates! As you jump into the intro, here are some important things to note:

⟡ ICly, there was a "town meeting" held today where the guild leaders announced that newcomers would be invited to guilds. It has been decided that characters should join a guild to help give back to the city that will, in turn, help them find a way home. Dr. Denne mentions that he's been assigned to make this his top priority for the time being.

⟡ Characters may have been ICly told about this decision before the meeting, depending on their intro blurb.

⟡ This meeting is when characters receive their grumpearls, meaning they have been taught how to use the network! You are free to post open logs or network posts now that the game is officially open. Remember, the network is a psychic connection, so it is quite possible to transmit thoughts unintentionally, have issues, etc.

⟡ The guild leaders are very busy getting everything in order with these decisions, but they will be available for threading with in some limited capacity on the event post. Until then, if there's an urgent question your character would seek them out for, or maybe a message they'd like to send (due to their intro prompts or otherwise), there will be a header below for you to do so.

⟡ Many "newcomers" have vanished. Those faces you met on the TDM are gone just as quickly as they arrived. Some have trouble remembering them. Maybe even you can only imagine a fuzzy outline of someone, no recognition of the conversations you might have had, or maybe certain highlights are more clear. Dr. Denne mentions that this is a known phenomenon, that some of them can recall them, but not others. They say they'll be keeping a record of the Pokemon here now so that they won't be lost, and will try to find out what happened.

CHARACTER INFO
CHARACTER: A.B.A (pronounced like Swedish pop sensation ABBA)
CANON: Guilty Gear
POKEMON: Silvally✨
GUILD: Oran
INFO/PERMISSIONS: Here

ABOUT:

A.B.A is basically the Guilty Gear stray. She has no real connection to the overall plot (Like, for real, there's an anime coming out and I'll be lucky if she gets a cameo) and spends her whole time doing her own thing. That thing is traveling the world and trying to find a way to give her giant key husband a human body. Just girl things. A.B.A is a homunculus whose creator got kidnapped by the military before she got a chance to wake up, so she spent the first ten years of her life locked away in his mansion. As you can imagine, this sort of isolation has made her incredibly socially awkward, so she's naturally a timid and shy person. To counteract this, she acts a lot like a cornered animal when faced with any sort of confrontation and is prone to lashing out. Once she knows everything is okay, she's usually really quiet, if not a little silly. Thankfully, Pokémon are way cuter than people, so they're easier to interact with! ...So long as they're small.

She love keys.

Just looking to get her footing in! I'm so happy she got Oran, because I'd love for her to work on overcoming her fears and use her fighting prowess towards something helpful. She's a big strong Pokémon, she SHOULD be helping!

FRIENDS PLEASE!! All sorts of friends, but especially anyone patient enough to put up with her...A.B.Aness. A.B.A isn't aggressive on purpose, it's mostly due to fear or being overwhelmed, so it'd be great if she could start building a support system. She misses her husband, Tails. Also if any Orans want to sleep on top of a big eagledog, she's your girl. She already stole Dark Heart, sorry not sorry.

ANYTHING ELSE:

Hiiii! I loved our thread on the TDM! The boy is a red panda plushie now but please still think he's tough!!!

Ahhh, I'm so glad! I loved our thread, too! She'll still think he's tough AND even easier to talk to now that he's literally a plushie. No worries, Junpei, she'll still kill for you. Normal friendship things, y'know.

killing for is preferable to hugging this is acceptable

Hugs are for husbands, so it works out. .....She might nom his head, though.

god I loved that pic in the credits aaahhh

It's so cute, I can't wait to abuse it whenever she wants to show affection.

what do you MEAN her husband is a key

A key may fit where people don't.

but why is he a key??????????????????????

You don't just ask someone why they're a key!

Firoza would! Firoza's concerned! Did he get turned into a key? Was he always a key? Obviously he's sentient...

(I'm sitting here unsure if it's better if it's a sentient key or not)

If you want the actual lore, I got no problem blabbing about Paracelsus. He is absolutely a totally sentient talking demon axe, complete with his own character arc. A.B.A thinks he looks like a key, so he's a key. She found him in some ruins, picked him up, and said we're married now. He absolutely does not want a human body, but that ain't stopping her.

Guilty Gear is a weird game.

merlot i LOOOOVED our TDM thread!! i'm so fucking happy they're guildmates!! let's rack up points together and ~~ollie out of this place~~ become besties... they've got a lot to bond over tbqh (imagine them commiserating over leaving behind the one person who Loves them!!!)

I'm so happy they can learn how to be people together, I nearly screamed when I saw he got oran too. Once she learns he has a loved one, she'll teach Dark Heart how to get married and live his best life when he gets home. It's easy-

("lets take ibuprofen" meme voice) let's learn how to be a person together!!

ugly crying!!! he'd be so embarrassed (because, what, he can do that?? just act on his feelings like that??) and that's so fucking funny to me. it's easy with these simple steps!!

Everything's easy when you just force your love onto people. (Someone stop her.)

(the mask voice) SOMEBODY STOP HER

meanwhile dark heart has someone who actually loves him and also he loves her and he has no idea about any of that shit lmao. probably thinks he has heartburn.

So that baby bird you adopted is in the same guild. Wat do? B)

Haha get ready for the worst mothering of your life, sucker

oh boy I can't wait to see her reaction to the Feral Fucking Cat being in the same guild as her LMAO

S-SCARY!!

(He is getting dragged into the cuddle puddle with Akechi.)

GAHAHA i look forward to that xD

Obviously no pressure if you guys would rather do your own thing, but I'm a sucker for bed sharing tropes and A.B.A would absolutely gather the tinier oran members ~~because she's lonely~~ because what if someone tries to eat them in the middle of the night!!! Yes. That. The food chain can be so cruel.

both me and Akechi's player can agree that that is SUPER CUTE i love you A.B.A.

We could probably work something out sometime nvn
