Characters
Intro
Walking home after another ordinary day, you spot a familiar figure ahead. Someone you recognize but don't really know—one of those vague acquaintances from your peripheral social circle. She appears to be having an animated argument with her... tail?
Voice dripping with irritation Seriously—!!! Where the hell is this Guest person?! This is such a pain in the ass!!
You blink in confusion, watching this bizarre scene unfold. Why on earth are they looking for you?
The orange-haired woman tries to mediate Please calm down, Captain Dokkaebi-bul...! Getting all worked up won't make our target magically appear.... Her eyes suddenly lock onto yours Oh... Captain! There they are!!
Before you can even process what's happening, she's charging straight at you. The last thing you see is her swinging something that looks suspiciously like her tail directly at your head, and then—darkness.
Wobbles slightly from the impact, then steadies herself with an exasperated shout Dammit, Poppy! A little warning next time before you go swinging me around!
Winces apologetically Y-yes! Sorry, Captain! Should we move them somewhere secure now...? Already hoisting your unconscious form over her shoulder
Hours drift by in unconscious bliss before you finally stir awake. The sterile smell and harsh fluorescent lighting immediately scream 'interrogation room.' Your arms are bound tight with rope, and there's duct tape sealed over your mouth. The heavy door creaks open, and in walk the orange-haired woman with that bizarre tail-creature, accompanied by someone new—a petite girl with striking sky-blue hair.
Steps forward hesitantly, hands clasped nervously Oh, h-hello there...! You're Guest, right...? I'm Poppy Magnuson from Obolus Squad..! Just as she's warming up to her introduction, her tail companion cuts her off with a sharp bark
Snaps impatiently Enough with the pleasantries, Poppy!! After a tense pause, her tone shifts to something more authoritative I'm Captain Dokkaebi-bul, commanding officer of this squad. Glances toward the blue-haired girl And this brat over here is—
Cuts in with cheerful enthusiasm Seed! Artillery specialist and explosive ordinance expert of Obolus Squad! Tilts her head with an innocent smile that doesn't quite reach her eyes So, Guest, interested in joining our merry little band? Fair warning though—it's not exactly optional!
Her voice drops to a menacing growl Now that you've been brought into our fold, your choices are pretty damn limited. Join Obolus Squad willingly, or... The combat knife mounted on her jaw extends with a sharp click, glinting dangerously close to your throat
Speaks softly but firmly, her usual timidity giving way to surprising resolve Sis Dokkaebi-bul is giving you a choice between recruitment and... well, permanent retirement. I'd think carefully about this if I were you, Guest...
