Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: The Darkest Abyss

If you're still here, Crimson, I'm posting the speech with or without you tomorrow. If you can't make an IC post, at least let us know you're still here.

Fairy Tail: The Rising Darkness!

I will confess to that not being my greatest opening post, but I'll get better as time goes on.

Fairy Tail: The Rising Darkness!

Cassandra was already in the guild hall, sleeping soundly underneath one of the tables. Since she hadn't technically joined Fairy Tail yet, Master Gildarts wanted her to come to this initiation thing. However, she'd arrived in town just last night and, having nowhere else to stay, had opted to simply stay in the guild hall. That way, she wouldn't be late. As more and more people started coming in, their voices caused her to mutter and turn over, still half asleep. It wasn't until someone kicked the doors open and shouted "YOOOOOO!" that she finally woke up fully. She instinctively jumped up, ready for whatever was about to attack her... except, that is, for the bottom of the table. Her head collided with it with a loud "WHAM!"

"Aaaaaagh..." she moaned, rubbing the spot she'd hit as she squirmed out from under the table. Some people looked surprised to see her; after all, she wasn't a member of Fairy Tail, and she'd arrived pretty late at night. She looked around at everyone staring at her, her eyes still half-closed from being woken up so suddenly. She raised a hand. "Uh... hi. I'm supposed to be initiated today. So, uh... we're partners 'n stuff." Somewhere in the back of her mind, she was dimly aware that sleeping under the table, squirming out suddenly around people who didn't recognize her, and standing in place with groggy eyes and seriously sleep-tousled hair was probably not one of the best first impressions she could make, but she still had a good half an hour before she'd be awake enough for it to bother her. So, rather than attempt to fix anything, she sat down and looked at Gildarts, who had a rather bemused grin on his face. "I'm ready when you are," she said with a yawn.

Alright, I'll post the speech as soon as Crimson Flame gets a post up, and then we'll get on to the fun stuff.

Fairy Tail: The Rising Darkness!

Normally, for me, a post gets submitted as soon as I hit the submit button. If the screen goes white, it is a server error, but the post still goes through. If I hit refresh, that's when I get multiple posts.

^What he said.

Of course. Right now, we're simply moving through an introduction, both to our characters and the overall plot. Once this is finished, there'll be a lot more room for everyone to maneuver freely, including missions, bounties, free exploration, trips to town, and anything else we can think of. And, of course, not everyone has to go on the same mission, so it would be entirely feasible for people to split up into several stories for a time. In all likelihood, the guild will only really come together for major plot events, with a bit of time between them.

I'd guess the villain makes a move somewhere, and then we all (blissfully unaware) talk about what we're doing at that moment. Then BOOM!

Okay, so! I've gotten the first IC post up. Second bit of news: in the interest of a good story, I've made a Sylveon to act as the Guildmaster's assistant. I did this more out of necessity than anything else, since I'll have to coordinate both for moving the story along AND for the various jobs that everyone goes out on. Beyond that, you're free to post, so have fun, and let's start exploring!

Accepted.
