Sometimes there’s random jibber jabber that does not warrant a message box. The Gab Window fulfills that jibber jabber by placing such text outside of the message window box and at the corner of the screen. The gab text will appear briefly and then disappear, not showing up again until the gab text is updated with something else.

New to the MV version is the ability to play sounds for your Gab Window in addition to queueing multiple gabs together to have them form a conversation of sorts. When queued up, the currently playing gab will continue showing until it fades out before loading up the next gab.
Instructions
Using the Gab Window is quite simple. By default, it can be used in either the map scene or the battle scene. To call upon it, you will to use a few Plugin Commands to set up what you wish for the Gab Window to display.

*Note If multiple ShowGabs are used, they will be queued up. The current playing gab will finish playing before moving onto the next. If it so happens that the inputted Gab would have the same exact settings as a previously loaded gab within the same queue, it will not be inserted to prevent any redundancy amongst the conversation.

This clears out the Gab Window of the current gab and any gabs queued.
