Hello everyone. My name's Melodie. I'm awful at introes so er, where to start?

Well with the character I guess! I'm bringing Yotsuyu from Final Fantasy XIV. For anyone not familiar with her, she's basically a (former?) villain with serious anger management issues. She's taken from post 4.3, so expect her to bemoan not being dead any more. She's sworn off her villainous ways but that doesn't exactly make her a better person... As a general rule, just don't expect to get along with her, at first anyway. She thinks this place sucks and is all around an exceedingly disagreeable person to be around.

So of course, that means she's absolutely perfect for a place that revolves entirely around hugs and cute stuff. Yep. Totally. I was going to throw Monika from DDLC in there at first, but then I realized she would enjoy the hugging and fluff way too much and that's no fun. I am looking forward to starting Yotsuyu's new career as unwitting comic relief... And perhaps her redemption arc!

Please feel free to add me on lorulean! I'm also on discord at Melodie#5485, I may join the discord later today once I gather enough courage to.

Join us on discord, we're not scary and we only bite if asked really nicely! ^^

And welcome to Hugs! I really hope you and Yotsuyu enjoy yourselves here!
Well... you... she probably won't like it too much. BUT THATS PART OF THE FUN~!

[taintedmoon]

Hello, thank you!

Imma gonna try my best (she won't, but details) and yesh, so long as nobody bites... Hmm I can probably join, ahaha!

[callmegladio]

Take your time, of course! No rush at all!

[firstbump]

Welcome to Hugs from one formerly dead character player to another!

I've always wondered how Yotsuyu would've continued to develop. Guess we'll find out! Hope you enjoy your time here!! I use too many exclamation points!!!

[taintedmoon]

Lali-ho and thank you! I'm looking forward to having the two of them meet, even though she won't have a clue who he is at first, different shards and all! She may not like this place but Ardbert does deserve lots of hugs.

Too many exclamation point is fine, I am one of those people who hope she'll come back for the moon expansion and there shall be many !!!! if this happens, aha.

[firstbump]

Lali-ho! It'll be really interesting to see them interact. And yes, Ardbert deserves all the hugs—it's why I had to app him.

At the very least, I hope she gets mentioned! But I hadn't thought about that because I was distracted by MOON. Ardbert's been there. Didn't even have any decent souvenirs.

[taintedmoon]

On the bright side, I guess you could say that makes Ardbert experienced in moonwalking.

[firstbump]

He does have to admit that the view was nice.

Hey, welcome to the game! I'm Sceadu, and I play the local Ascian/former Emperor, as well as Gabranth from FFXII! I'm also definitely looking forward to seeing how Yotsuyu ends up developing here, even if Emet may not be particularly helpful in that regard.

[taintedmoon]

Lali-ho and thank you for the welcome! Yotsuyu is going to be absolutely "delighted" to meet Zenos's great-grandsire. And Gabranth is such an amazing character! I'm looking forward to threading with you.

And it's okay, Yotsuyu isn't gonna be particularly helpful to herself in that regard either.

[unnecessaryflourishes]

I'd say he's better than Zenos, but it might just be that he's a different sort of terrible from Zenos' "Only Fights Now" kind of terrible. XD

And FFXII is one of my favorites, even if Gabranth has mostly been a giant grump since his arrival in game.

[taintedmoon]

Yotsuyu will think they're both terrible, but who is she to judge, of all people?

Then they got something in common! Yotsuyu is gonna be grumpy for a few good months at least.

[unnecessaryflourishes]

tbf, they both are, so she wouldn't be wrong to think that.

They do, at that!

Hello! I'm Neth!

I play Era, the resident Warrior of Light (and Darkness). She's currently struggling with her PTSD and the 'being a person' thing, a.k.a. is a Disaster.

I'm assuming Yotsuyu doesn't know her, so as soon as Era figures it out she'll keep her distance, though will make sure she has what she needs!

[taintedmoon]

Lali-ho! It sounds like the fate of the WoL is a cruel one. Yotsuyu can sympathize. Kinda.

And ah, I don't mind Yotsuyu remembering Era as being the WoL, unless you'd rather she remembers the default Derplander as the WoL. I'm not too sure how it works usually in DWRP and I'm happy either way, so I'll go with whichever you prefer.

[astralera]

Era is pretty convinced Hugs is some kind of punishment 😂 Too much time to dwell on the past and not enough adventure!

I've played with both options before (and one with someone whose NPC couldn't remember any identifying features of the WoL, kind of like Legacy WoLs in 2.0), but the general rule of thumb is to go with whatever you are most comfortable with! The rest of the current cast all know Era, but we're also all fine with whatever works best for you. :)

[taintedmoon]

Yotsuyu can confirm that those hugs are, indeed, hell.

And no worries, she'll know Era as being the WoL then, too!

Good day fellow FF villain! I'm Ryoko and I am playing the not-yet-bad version of Sephiroth here. I'm blind to XIV but look forward to them being jerks to each other.

[taintedmoon]

Hello fellow member of Bad-Anon! I'm looking forward to them meeting as well o/ Sephiroth's such a great character!
