Ahh, console video games (or vidcons as I call them). the ultimate medium of expression, able to convey any emotion ranging from hatred to love, loyalty to fear, all in front of our eyes. Ah, and with lovingly crafted art, music, and the ability to control the action, vidcons are the ultimate combination of the high arts. While I tend to play the stoic, I will be the first to admit that vidcons haven driven me to cry, to scream and shout, to feel actual hate; such is the power of this force beyond our wildest reckoning. And here I am, before you, to temp your tongues with the taint of such a tantalizing topic.
And the Japanese, the true geniuses behind the world of video games. Pah, I throw my scorn upon such incompetents of the West who would mock the true art of the Japanese with 'games' such as Baldur's Gate and Madden. Perhaps it is that the West is not as intelligent as the East, but this is a matter for another day. Japan has given us such masterpieces as the Final Fantasy series, Star Ocean, Wild Arms, and of course, Arc the Lad. Yes, some of the finest vidcons in the world were created by Japanese. I come to you today to ask you in all earnesty, what is your favorite vidcon? I will reveal mine after the grand debate has illustriously begun, but not before the first poster falls victim to my plot of discussion.
In other words, this is a thread on an imaginary forum our avatars frequent. The topic can fluctuate, and its mostly just general discussion.

Hm. Nightmares, the negative visions one has in their sleep?
Well, not visions, exactly. ...Oh, no. Nononono...!

The infant speaks of us, for she be Us and we are her. The multifarious, the messenger of the One. Chaos.

Oh, I see! Not unlike our "Shadows," your Nightmares are physical beings representing the concept! I understand now, thank you! You can put the purple woman back on.
Strange one from another world, reflect upon your misdoing. The girl is one of Our faces, but her life does not belong to Us, though it is Ours. She is oblivious, a continuance of the faceless one, that which rejects us.

From another world?
Is it truly that obvious?
That is interesting to know! Is she okay with you talking through her?
Even from across these dimensions, We can sense that you are... irregular. An aberration, for which atonement has been served.
The girl detests Us, the abyss, Chaos. She is one of Our faces, but alive all the same, separate from Our bound existence. Forsooth, when she is distressed or imperiled, We control her form, as is her nature as one of Our multifarious forms.

I am promising you that I have no 'schemes' or 'plots!' I have merely come here to do research.
Well, perhaps if I calmed her down, she would be released?

Hello, pink writer! Hello!
The one who begins anew, Our way of speaking is perfectly intelligible to those who can comprehend Us. But beware, when you stare into the abyss, We are such. Of "primals", We know not.
Your request is common, as there are many mortals that cannot understand Our nature. Yet, as one who schemes in cold shadow, you would not accept Our insight, the knowledge of the abyssal? We thought that perhaps one such as you could accept Our verisimilitude, but you do not. Thus, in the face of this desire, We shall depart, as We have so often done.
Huh? I just had a terrible dream...

Freddy: Greetings fellow serial killers! Forgive the silence of the other three members of my group, they're not as much of a talker as I am. So, care to swap stories of our kills, carnage, and how ya got away with some of that?

... Perhaps you have come to the wrong forum? I have already stated that despite the truth of my form, I have not come to wreak havoc or bring harm to others.
Freddy: Wait, so this isn't the chat of the Serial Killer Convention of Horror?

So sorry! I do not believe it is. We can still talk though! I have been meaning to study those who would commit senseless crimes...
Freddy: Well I guess we can stay in that case. Though when it's time to leave we'll take our chances by finding the convention via the road than the Internet. For sure I'm not letting Myers be behind the wheel, here's a video
of the last time we let him do that! This time, I'm driving! Anyways, so what would you like to know about us?

Hmmm... are you all aware of your body counts, or have you lost track? I suppose a logical first question would be "why," but I can guess such a question would be pointless.

Aklyss told me to come here. Said there were some... "people" here who might educate me on what exactly the bizarre nature of this world is, that it is not socially acceptable to hold perfectly normal occupations in.

Oh, that's what I am doing too! Perhaps we can exchange notes?
The They who said it
Certainly, note swapping, though I have not been here long. So far, I have learned that Adventuring is apparently not a socially acceptable career, with even more stigma around it than in the worst small towns back home. And I will inform you, those small towns are horrible to us sometimes.

Freddy: It's best to just let the police keep track of such trivial stuff, don't know about the other three as they don't talk much but I just simply enjoy the thrill of the hunt, who cares about many many lives I take! I don't usually kill 'em immediately, no I take my time toying with them, eating away at their hope as their delicious fear fuels me! Oh how delightful their screams are! The whole world's my killing ground, if there's no one left to kill in a town then I'll just simply move on to the next one!

I see... I would classify you as 'dangerous' then... This is good to have on paper!
I do admit, I did not have anything planned as this is impromptu, so that is the end of my questioning. Do you perhaps have a favorite kill?
The They who said it
Ah, based on the egg statement, I take it you are not human. I could have told you that. Presumably you are one who has not had much contact with our kind. (Though quite frankly, the humans out here are so... squeamish that they might as well be called marshmallow-fluff-sunshine-rainbow quasi-elementals, not humans.)
...
Well. A slasher of some persuasion? Multiple of them? What valuables do you have, my... dear, slasher friends? I swear, if it's buckets of saltwater taffy and other sugar-based products again, I will scream so loudly that dragons will weep tears of horror for years to come. Not that they don't already, when they see me coming these days.
Well, I like reading? Sometimes I can't sleep because of the nightmares, though...
