Hi everyone!

I'm Picaro, and some of you might know me as the Yami Bakura who haunted the 4th Wall Event a while back! I haven't actually played in a game since a felt eternity and some 35 days more, but

thetombkeeper is a powerful enabler, so here I am!

I'm bringing in IV (read: Four) from Yugioh! Zexal. IV is something of a sports celeb back at home, and is famous as being this gentlemanly, really genuinely noble guy. That's just a public persona, though. The other side of IV is that he's basically a sadistic bully who's obsessed with the number 4 and "fanservice" and the human version of a dog turned really bad by its owner. Tl;dr: he’s the kind of character who’s good at spying other’s desires and weaknesses, and who will aim at and abuse those weaknesses with gusto, especially if they’re emotional ones. BECAUSE OF THAT please let me know if you'd like to opt out of that side of him either here, via pm or plurk! I swear I'll understand and respect it!

Besides that he's a Rocket with a Rockruff and a Magicarp as a starter (because having two Magicarp as starters is apparently a bad idea. :< ) I'm looking forward to playing with you all!

hi

Oh, look what the cat dragged in! A tacky bazaar salesman!

/says the guy wearing some pseudo-Victorian era mockup that's kept in all yellows and cream to boot

/insert angry cat noises

FOOL I AM NOT A TACKY BAZAAR SALESMAN. I AM A SERIOUS CYCLIZAR SALESMAN! There is a difference I swear.

/growls like a dog in response

If you need to sw- WHAT did you just call me?!

(they're going to be splendid friends, I see it already lol)

A FOOL.

(the best of friends clearly XD)

.......

Tch! Better whatever than a discount-ganguro like you! Do you even know what century it is?!

(with the best nicknames for each other ♥)

I'M NOT A GANGURO. And what does the century have to do with anything?!

(Yes please call him every terrible name. You know I give you full permission to be awful to him. ♥)

That blond hair aon dark skin is terribly old-fashioned and out, you clown! Did you live under a rock so far? It's common knowledge!

(Likewise, you know that you have my full blessings to shut IV uo by any means possible, including stuffing some poor pokemon into his big mouth. God knows he deserves it sometimes ;) )

Tchhh! I was born this way, fool! And for your information, I... grew up living underground.

(Omg just stuffs a poffin into his mouth XD)

So?

(aaaand that's how IV manages to keep himself fed, Ladies and Gentlemen XD)

So then I suppose I did live under a rock...?

(Dhsgd you can't eat that IV)

If you're expecting me to hold your hand and feel sorry for you over that, then *you're* the fool here.

(Survival of the fittest, Mar~ )

I'm not! I don't need your pity!

(Fshd it's pokémon food though!)

Heylo! I am Joey, and I play Min-Gi, a fellow (but admittedly useless) Rocket! He is very nervous of doing a crime and more invested in his band than he is Team Rocket's agenda, but I've still gotta throw him at other members whenever possible so I'm gonna add you on plurk.

My username is

thlayli!

Hello hello! It's nice to meet you, and I added you back on plurk. IV is going to be a pretty useless Rocket too at first (aka. he's just going to try and ignore them as a whole the moment he's out of training), but once he's hauled back for another round of, ahem, training, he'll end up becoming a bit more ambitious just out of spit. Or at least that's the plans I made with another potential Rocket member so far, haha!

He'll be definitely curious about that band thing Min-Gi has going, so if you'd ever like a bad influence for him, just let me know! o7

Ohhh, that sounds fun!

Ffff, the band has its self-designated bad boy already but he could always do with a negative influence. Dude needs to learn to chill.

No worries, he wouldn't actually try to *join* it, but as somebody involved with the entertainment industry back home he knows the value of having some musicans at hand. Or at least their numbers in his phone and maybe the one or other potential favor he can call in on.

Hello! Welcome to VR, where everything's made up and the points don't matt--wait no.

Anyway, I am clover, I play this lady, Naeva, queen of the Mom Vibes, and Misaki (

torinoko) who is an awful cat in human form. My plurk is over at

moepuff! I hope you have a good time here in Pokemon Puzzle League: The Musical : The game.

Edited (i always forget naeva's default icon is resting bitch face) 2023-02-08 18:12 (UTC)

Lol, he'll be so confused having to deal with a place where there's no life points visible, yet there's plenty of monsters and you're even supposed to care for them.... !

(He's going to try and toss his Magicarp at somebody as a battle move sooner or later. Just you wait.)

Thanks for the welcome, Clover! Let's have an awful silly good time!

SIR DO NOT USE THAT AS A BLUDGEON? SIR--

Haha, hope to see you around soon! :D

Okay! Fine! Does tossing it between their legs and telling it to flail count, then? Because there is no way that fish is ever going anywhere, otherwise!

(He's trying to help it gain experience, doesn't she see? ~~nope, it's just terrible excuses because he's fed up trying to find a way to make Magicarp work as a monster~~)

Likewise! ^^

Naeva is calling the police--

(Meanwhile Misaki is suggesting he really lean into the fastball special. Get your torso twisted, really put some power into her pitch, throw that fish directly into this purrserker's mouth--)

They probably already know him at that point. XD

(He'll listen really well, try to imitate her moves and then balk "Into the mouth?! No way! Let's use a Voltorb for that!" /good thing the pokemon world only allows comedy violence)

This + Mr. Fish smash = the ultimate combo

Unlimited Fish Slaps

OH SHIT!! Hello fellow yugioh... here is a fellow duelist who likes to entertain the crowd, though Yuzu prefers to not be a sadistic bully about it. If you'd like the only other Yugioh character here who knows what an Xyz monster is, then by all means, you may have her. ~~She may not take any shit, though.~~

~~That's good, IV knows at least one other female duelist who doesn't take any shit either, and he has a lot of unresolved feelings (read guilt & fear) towards her.~~

At least he knows better than to let his ugly sides show as long as he's in public? ID; IV is all about the fanservice, it's only the private, 'special' sessions one has to look out for. In any case he'll be relieved to meet another person who knows what Xyz monsters and the Overlay Network are! Yuzu might also find his voice a tad bit similar since he shares a VA with Reiji Akaba, haha :)

~~"Hey IV would you like to talk about those feelings?" "No"~~

The fanservice comes out and he'll promptly receive a paper fan to the back of his head for his troubles. ~~Clearly it's female duelists with strong personalities who have the ability to reel him in.~~

But more seriously, welcome to VR! I'd love to have these two interact, even if—especially if—it's just IV trying to mess with her to varying levels of success. Yuzu does also have a Lycanroc, so clearly the dogs must become friends—

~~That's it, that's exactly how that conversation would go. xD~~

He'll put up and go along with it, as long as she's just hitting him for making it too ambiguous. But if he's really rearing for his 'serious' fanservice, then any attempts to stop him will only add oil to the fire. ;; ~~He has a fun lovehate for people with strong personalities~~

Thanks!^^ and that's awesome! What version of Lycanroc does she have, day, dusk or night?

This CR truly can only go well LMAO.

Dusk! The eyes switching back and forth between red and green is a nice lil reminder of a certain someone for her.

Yup! XD

I think I can guess who. I've been thinking of either night or dusk for IV as well, just because they go so much with his own spiky hair, haha

listen magikarp are only good for one thing
tossing at people

Anyway, please fuck with Fordola even though she's a fellow Rocket. Fuck her up as she tries to do the same.

Right?!
See, somebody who gets him! How else are you supposed to fight with something like that??

Thanks, I'll happily will take you up on that kind offer! x3 She's got full permission to mess with him or punt him when he's being too much of a brat to her as well, of course ♥

You know I'm up for IV messing with Ryou a bit. >:3c

And alternatively, I also have Narancia from JJBA as a fellow Rocket member, if one who is less than impressed with Team Rocket.

Looks like it's time to spice the Team Rocket action a bit up then, doesn't it? I'm all up for silly rocket plans whenever you should feel like it!

and ♥! IV will have a hard time pinning what to think of Ryou down: on one hand, weak goody-twoshoes. On the other, also likes ghosts and the grotesque. And can get surprisingly nasty when he's really cornered or determined for once. Also, they're both scarred and marked in various other twisted-magic ways without having been asked first.

(you know you have all the permissions to have Ryou bully IV too, btw, right? IV might act like a sennen menace, but he's actually way more Jou than Atem when it comes down to it. :3)

I've also been getting Narancia more involved in doing Rocket stuff, so sounds good!

And yeah, Ryou is a sweet, slightly too trusting guy, but at the same time will do anything for his friends, has that mischievous streak lurking in there, and as you saw when he attacked that painting in the YB thread, is capable of lashing out hard if upset enough.

I am aware, it'll be fun to have Ryou bully right back!

At some point IV will just nudge him after doing something particularly mischievous and murmur something along the lines that he reminds him a bit of his little brother when he's being a sassy brat. And yes, that's a compliment.

~~and no, IV's totally not lonely and feeling lost being suddenly on his own when it was usually always at least him and III, what are you insinuating~~

Awww...

(And maybe Ryou can empathize a bit, considering how much he still misses Amane after she died. Not the same circumstances, but.)
