Go To

This is a thread where, as the title implies, our avatars (from our galleries) are posting in an in-universe forum thread. You can drop in any time with pretty much any character you want, whether from existing works or your own OCs. Though most of it is done through forum posts, some "in-person" interactions between characters is also fine.

Even if this is a more casual RP, there are still some rules and general RP etiquette to keep in mind for everyone to have a good time and feel comfortable:

  • NO GODMODDING. Godmodding is when you decide what happens to another player's character, and is generally frowned upon. In particular, avoid injuring and especially killing someone else's character; fighting is ok but let the other player decide if the hit connects. If your plot idea requires something to happen to a different player's character, you'll want to privately discuss this with them and if they're ok with that. This includes in-universe moderation.
  • Be nice and respect other players' boundaries. Your character being mean or a jerk is one thing, but if someone gets uncomfortable about your behavior towards their characters, knock it off. Also do not force others into your story arcs; in general it would be a good idea to ask the other person first if they are interested, and plan it together if they are.
  • If you have anything to say, ask about, ect. that is not part of the RP, you can put it under a spoiler tag [[spoiler: like this]]
  • While almost any character is welcome, please avoid playing any real-life person who's mainly associated with controversies, drama and problematic behavior. We don't need that here.
  • Have fun!

    Original post 

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.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/icon_fernhopeful_92.png Thanks for the offers to help, right now im trying to search The Maternity Ward in order to find him. I hope that will somewhat help narrow it down, oh! And if it helps, I'm in "The Hospital".

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/icon_fernunsure_6.png I dont think that narrows it down much....

Just "The Hospital"? Trying to find that in the registry, I'm only finding old adverts for all kinds of hospitals. Nothing mysterious or odd.

   [up][up] I’ve heard of a dimension called “The Hospital”. It’s this place, right? Dimension HAU-283-1037-MED, I think.   

   I’ve looked around in there, and I actually sent a few of my Midge-class exploration drones inside around the beginning of that whole “Maternity Ward” part.

A whole separate dimension then, and not just a hospital... That dimension name looks like a list index, mind if I borrow the list? I'll share mine too, along with some documentation.

I wish I could help you find your son.

I don't think we can given... you know, different dimensions.

I'm sure there's some way.

What about that Nopon Archsage?

Don't think so. He just wants to pit people from other dimensions together. Although... if he managed to get Shulk into Alrest, then maybe he could get us to another universe.

That could work! Only problem is trying to convince him to do so.

We could only try.

I could also give you a lift if I knew my destination universe. Even then, it's probably already crowded in that maternity ward from all of the Space Ark's drones.

   [up] I only sent ten drones in, and each of them is the size of a large bee, so they wouldn’t be much trouble to anyone. Also, all but two of the drones are staying outside the Maternity Ward. The two inside there are staying out of any areas likely to be explored soon as well.   

On the topic of our intergalactic voyage, we’ve got a big problem. A 100 million solar mass problem, to be specific. Anyone want to guess what it is?(hint: we’re still in the Andromeda Galaxy)

We’re trying to catch up with a hypervelocity star as well, but it’s too fluffing fast!

   Get back here, you out-of-control O-type star!   

   He’s crazy about stars. If they explode, no problem, but if they fly off, then it’s a big issue for him.

We're back from visiting the Archsage. Unfortunately, it's a bust.

He was willing to send us to other universes, but he insisted that this one is a no-go.

I even tried to explain to him that a child was in danger, but he didn't want us "throwing away our lives". I'm sorry that we can't help, Fern.

in all seriousness this is a good location for reality warpers to converse and discuss interdimensional plans. Any how you three Mythra Pyra, and Nia Im willing to provide transport and even some equipment but once you are inside you are on your own in terms of leaving that... place... Thing is awful and I refuse to ever step foot back into that mockery again.

I'm not exactly a reality warper, I "only" have the technology to travel to other universes, which still abides by the laws of physics. Also, I think I've found the "The Hospital" dimension and I might go in myself in a couple hours, after some preparation. If anyone wants to come along, I'll provide a ride there and back as well as supplies.

Urist and Space Ark, you two have explored the space already, any leads on a lost child?

...I genuinely wish we were able to help you in your predicament. To hear that a mother was forcibly separated from her child sounds really heartbreaking.

Kabbu, I understand that you want to help, but what can we do? Even if we manage to end up in her universe, we are still nothing but tiny bugs when compared to, well, literally everything in her universe. We are useless in this situation.

...I know. And that cold truth only hurts me further.

...You guys got it covered, right? I don't want to see Kabbu cry.

I-I'm so...sorry. I...can't...help it...

...Guys? You will resolve the situation, right?

   [up]x9 Still nothing. That “Patient Zero” which I can only assume is Fern’s son is locked up tighter than a brazil nut inside Jupiter’s core. The farthest I got a drone was the first layer of protection. There’s 73 more layers to go!! That’s just ridiculously protected, if you ask me.   

Now, I get The Hospital is its own place, but…what’s with these “zone” things? Are they alternate universes or something?

   About the 74 layers of protection thing the Cosmic Ark mentioned, there’s a snowflake’s chance of crossing Polaris that there’s a way to get inside a human could think of.   

At least there’s a chance, no matter how small, that everything will turn out alright.

And about that huge problem from before, it was the Andromeda Galaxy’s central black hole.
