Our avatars are posting on a forum thread.

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.

I just realized we've completely missed Catmint's birthday on the 19th of May! Happy late birthday! I'll make sure to send you something fancy by tomorrow.

Unrelated, but in one week I'm planning to start a new experiment in order to learn more about interuniversal physics - it's nothing spectacular, at best you'll be able to see a spike in a graph, but who would like to see the first experiment of the Identity Decay Detector?

[up][up]Don't blame yourself. You don't carry around a calendar everywhere you go, do you?

Maybe I should clarify - you won't be seeing any fancy sci-fi-ish lights on the detector, that thing is about as visually spectacular as the LHC. I'm theorizing that if you transport some object from one universe to another, it's going to emit ionizing radiation while its matter is rearranging itself into something that the new universe can sustain. If this is true, I should be able to detect this radiation with some standard particle detectors, and it would also mean that every time you travel between two universes, you lose a tiny bit of mass!

[up]The presentation is a 3 century long high light real of my own memory of major project failures, matter erasier incidents, and interdimensional horrors being unleashed, vacaum decay incidents, all recorded battles since the luddic wars, all artfically caused super novas, the records of every single subject of the inital cataphract program.

just ask for package 78 at the Central dimensional hub of my home reality if you want to collect it. Learning the true limits of your power is a series of horrible mistakes and fixing them.

We want to share with you the lyrics to a song we found about beetles and taxonomy. It's called "The Type". And, go! ♫At the museum there's a room full of row upon row, of millions of specimens that aren't on show; every one of them's a beetle only very special people have the key to open up the drawers and say "hello". Now one drawer in cabinet 334, has a lot of beetles who aren't beetling anymore. They've all got a pin sticking straight through their backs(well technically, it's actually through their mesothorax), but one of them is special in a way you might miss. It's got a little label next to it that looks like this:

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/chrysina_holotype_6.jpg
And why's that label special? Well, I should know. You see, that beetle with that label is me!

♫I'm a type, yes, a type, you'd better believe the hype♫ I'm a T-to the-Y-to the-P-to the-E, that's my idiosyncrasy, a type, a type, it fills me every day with glee to think that my entire species is defined by me!♫

♫Taxonomists(that's people whose working life consists of giving Greek and Latin names to every being that exists) need a way of being abso-bloomin'-lutely sure that the thing they're naming now has never been named before. And so one lucky individual, whose countenance is prized, has studied really carefully, and then immortalised, from now until eternity, he fixes his fraternity, that privilege bestowed upon me fills my heart with pride(even though my heart has died(although technically I don't actually have a heart(although, let's not get pedantic))), for I'm a type, yes, a type, you'd better believe the hype! I'm a T-to the-Y-to the-P-to the-E, that's my idiosyncrasy, a type, a type, it fills me every day with glee that my entire species is defined by me!

So, though you may think it frightful, to see how I am stuck, I tell you it's delightful, and I can't believe my luck. I certainly would recommend as choice of mausoleum. being pinned to a board in a drawer in a room at the Natural History museum.♫ Hold on, I just heard that we missed out the final verse. Here it is. ♫Then you could be a type, yes a type, it’ll solve most any gripe, you’re a T-to the-Y-to the-P-to the-E, a state that’s utterly carefree, a type, a type, you’ll feel right as rain and good as new when your entire species is defined by you!♫ And we’re done!

Don’t ask how long it took us to type(see what I did there?) this. You don’t want to know.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/role_model.jpg Bonjour, today is memorial day!

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/spirit_animal.jpg Howdy! It's probably just another Monday for most others here but it's still fun to celebrate!

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kiraritchi_good.png I take pride in honoring the troops to serve the cause!

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/clulu_smile_ii.png True, even in our time period there's isn't any wars there.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mirai_smile_ii.png Unless you want to count the flame war I got into (lol just kidding).

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/candy_paku_hey.png We're having a special cookout today with lots of food and candy!

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/moriritchi_sunset.jpg Since it's a nice warm day, I'm getting my water gun out to fit the theme of today! Who wants to be join me?

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/melodytchi_good.png You know I do!

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/pianitchi_hatless.jpg Memorial Day is a day on which those who died in active military service are remembered, traditionally observed on May 30 but now officially observed on the last Monday in May.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/coffretchi_close_up_13.png As stated before, we're mostly celebrating it for fun.
