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.

Probably some kind of catalyst for spells? On a related note, do you guys think it's possible for a robot to practice magic? Because the idea sure sounds interesting.

Also, I'm almost done prototyping a "little" something, and I'll hopefully be doing some test runs this evening. Let me know if you're interested in participating! Fyi, no, it's not experiments on organic beings.

If it disagrees with experiment, it's wrong.

   You want to cast spells, right? I could bring a sample of the void and figure out something. Since you are mechanical, I think the void will different effects. Or is it too risky for you?

I doubt I would get in trouble if I got in contact with your universe's Void, because I have plenty of safeguards in place that disrupt any kind of magical mind-control/corruption. However, one of the safeguards is a self-destruct sequence, which triggers a bunch of explosive charges on my mech, so you might be at bigger risk than me.

If it disagrees with experiment, it's wrong.

I don't know what a CD is but Spell Cards is how we have duels in Gensokyo! It makes it so even pushovers like humans can stand up to a youkai like me! It's more about how pretty your attacks look than raw power. You also have to put a time limit and can't use other spell cards at the same time. I can't use Laevateinn and Maze of Love together for example. You also have to agree with your opponent how many cards you'll use. I once got into a 20 card fight with big sis, it was fun!

Though I heard it doesn't actually need to be magic, one of those weird Taoist ladies even throws plates in one of hers according to Marisa!

[up]x4 CDs are a form of data storage. Basically, you take a circular plastic disk (don't ask me which plastic, I don't know) and engrave specific patterns on it using a laser. Another laser can then read off the pattern from the disk and decode the encrypted message. CDs are a bit space-inefficient though, so I believe they quickly got replaced by USB sticks.

[up]x3 Hi, fellow robot.

[up][up]I can give you an AI to discuss philosophy with - I'm kinda busy right now, got several projects running simultaneously, and keeping up with all of them is quite a hassle.

Speaking of the projects, I was a bit vague about one of them earlier. It's a floating Fullspeed style multilap racetrack and some special race cars built specifically for the track. I'll be hosting a race this evening, and if people here are interested, I can give you computer terminals to remotely pilot a car. Otherwise, I'll just ask some people from my homeworld if they want to race.
