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.

That makes my world a lot more grim than intended since those guys are overloaded in haunted areas. So many dead souls out on a mischief hunt. *

Sounds like phantoms alright. Though I heard some manifest from just strong emotions.

Can I make one? - Minerva
SKREEEEEEEONK!

Ghosts are real? I thought that was just an ancient superstition ruled out by the complete logical model of the human brain.

Anyone know where to undo a retcon? I don't like my current comic self.

Good morning guys! How was your sleep last night?

My night was rotten, i had a nightmare about losing Hen.
Tama May Cry 1: Toony Angelos
Aw man, that stinks. I usually don't have bad dreams, still having thoughts on what my own adventure be like.
Peach's "not amused" state
Speaking of adventure, do you think we'll go on a big treasure hunt together one day ? I could teach you all the techniques to steal treasures and escape (or destroy) traps.

] Oh do I wish we could have our own new adventure, getting the greatest treasure ever! A Wario and Waluigi Land game would be a excellent way to continue the series (better than giving those goody two shoe plumbers another one for the 100th time)!

Evening. I'm bored, and I know that I'm supposed to be my linear algebra homework now, but I've got a cold and a headache. Also, I'm curious what kinda mess the thread has cooked up today. So, what's up?
Also, I have battle experience and a weapon now. - Stefan

What kind of weapon?
Anti-who?
Extreme math nerd
It doesn't fire danmaku, sadly. It's a 1.5m x 35cm x 6cm plate of metal that I've dubbed the "battleslab", and, well... I'd rather not say too much about it here in order to protect myself better, but there's more to it than meets the eye.
And I did manage to get a proper license for it. Where I live, even if I spontaneously get transported to other universes, I still need some mechanical guarantee that it won't activate its extended functionalities. And the legal work of getting and renewing the license is a massive pain.
How about you, anything noteworthy on your end?

Aww, fine keep your secrets. Anyway things are same as always here, though I heard one of Rumia's friends opened an izakaya near Misty Lake so I might sneak out there to try the food.
Extreme math nerd
Alright, fine. The battleslab fires the set of all sets that don't contain themselves, among other things.
What's an izakaya?

Hehehe. It means "stay-drink-place", it's like a little restaurant place. Rumia's friend runs her own portable one apparently, open to both humans and youkai. She has a whole bunch of recipes but never serves anything made from birds, since she's a night sparrow youkai. Except eggs. I wanna try those lampreys she has, Sakuya's never made those.

Sounds interesting. Do they serve human flesh there? Because if they do, it's probably a bad idea to offer it to a human customer.

Mystia doesn't like human flesh so no. I asked her.
Peach's "not amused" state
I heard that you like human flesh, why ?
Extreme math nerd
If I'm not mistaken, Rumia is an entity formed from the primal fear of darkness. I'm still in the dark about how that relates to man-eating, though.

Yes, because I have no idea what you're referring to.
