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.

Uhhh I'm not sure how any of this works but Lady Satori told me not to think too hard about stuff I don't get! Last time I did I accidentally set myself on fire! It didn't hurt but it was embarrassing.
Good. Fate even in other worlds is still stable. I was just checking to see if anything went wrong that had to do with Fate.
So what is my fate?

I must thank you for telling me of this city. With Urayne's Quantum leap, we could reach here before you all even knew of it. I will expect you sooner or later...
Praise the Lamb!

If you mean me, no. I only really know one context in which time travel makes sense, and even then, I lack the means of fulfilling it.

About fate, and I know I'm saying this for the second or third time on this thread, but do you know what a chaotic system is?
If you're planning on causing chaos, I'm hunting you down. Tread carefully.

Hmm, it seems Flan's little escapade has gotten more complicated. Figures.
Oh you're talking about fate? In my experience it's something that's quite easy to manipulate, but then again that is my ability.
"That was a pointless encounter with a pointless person."
Let me check...nope. Your fate was to manipulate what you thought was fate into your actual fate. Fate really likes to play tricks on the mortals. I haven't had to punish much people since a millennia. But if you actually break fate, death will be at your doorstep.
You still haven't answered my question.
If anyone forgot, the blue guy is the Prophet who has returned.
Godzilla
Ooh ooh ooh! Can you tell me my fate?
My fate is to kill everyone, isn’t it?
SKREEEEEEEONK!
How interesting that you have the ability to manipulate fate. Perhaps with your power, we can overturn the fate that Celestia dictates over Teyvat, and the Tsaritsa's wish will be fulfilled.
So how about it, Miss? How would you like the be one of the Fatui Harbingers? We are short on one right now due to Signora's unfortunate passing.

The robot's fate is to continue doing crimes, while the bigger robot's fate is to fail in killing everyone. The bug's fate is to become the god of void.
Ok.

Humor me, what's my fate, and what happens if I try to defy it?
"Please do not reproduce this textbook." - S. Banach & A. Tarski
You will...actually do pretty well. The cities will expand and your kind will become more advanced. If you defy fate, I have to correct it. Only in rare cases do I have to wipe someone's existence from reality. There was actually one more purple and green bot that existed within your realm, but I destroyed her because she derailed your fates.
I know nothing about the media Icarus comes from and I'm making stuff up.

Hmph. Quite the bold claim you're making there "Prophet". I assure you my power is quite real, after all it's how I got where I am today. For example, changing someone's fate from nameless vampire hunter to the perfect maid. Though I'll admit that perhaps in your world fate is much more rigid.
2 Hmm sounds like it might be a nice distraction but I'll have to decline. The Scarlet Devil doesn't take orders from anyone.
In-universe there is actual doubt if Remilia's fate manipulation is real or not. Flandre for example says she just uses it to sound cool/make up for losing but Flandre might be talking shit

Continue your false belief that your abilities are real and live in bliss. Last time I told a mortal they didn't really mess with fate then they actually did. I had to brutally murder them.

Well, I guess some deserves such fatal punishments if they gone too far.

Meet the Tamas!◊ Help has arrived! Got any cash?
Vengeful Ex-Maverick Hunter
Fufufu. I'd love to challenge that but I do have bigger priorities, such as keeping an eye on my little sister.
Ah, how unfortunate, but we'll always be open for future offers so if you change your mind, feel free to ask. The Tsaritsa is open to willing newcomers regardless of background.
May she bless you with eternal winter.

What is my fate, mr Prophet? I'm scared it'll be something bad, but I need to know.
Praise the Lamb!
Busy beating the life out of thief of all the world's prayers. I'm going to tell you when I'm do
Prophet had to end the post early because of Resident Mind(the thief of all the world's prayers). I also barely know anything about Pokémon uranium.

[1] …what? Oh, right! I’ve heard about the Knight before. How? Well, it’s a case of “media=reality”. For all human media, there’s a corresponding universe with the same people and places. And I’ve heard about a god of void before…(That god is The Shade Lord)
Who? …oh, gods. They’re back! Wait, why am I worrying? The Knight hasn’t killed any of the Dreamers yet! At least I’m safe.

Three talking birds. You must be Adepti from Liyue.
Vengeful Ex-Maverick Hunter
I've met a few talking birds before. One might say they even talk too much.
Serina, hmm? I don't think such a place exists in Teyvat. It's not on the map. Perhaps, it's an Adepti Abode hidden somewhere? The Adepti are such mysterious beings.
Well, no matter. Our mission in Liyue is finished, so do know that your Geo Archon's contract with us has been fulfilled and we have no interest in interfering with your affairs for the time being. We offer our apologies for Childe's "shortcomings", shall I say.
Oh so you can time travel too?
SKREEEEEEEONK!
