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.

Really fun! There's lots of concession stands, fun games, we get to dress nice and if they're youkai festivals we get to have danmaku fights! I heard even the dead have festivals on the Road of Liminality but I haven't been there.

I'm in a Christmasy kind of mood as of late. Colette wants to decorate the whole of Notre Dame cathedral for the holiday season! Sturmvoraus and I have been helping her our. Othar is, too, and it's surprising that he's so happy to work with us. I already quite like the way Paris is looking after our decor. Even the Awful Tower is looking less awful this Yuletide season! I wonder if I can bust out my old mechanical orchestra for this big project . . .
Unfortunately, I just got news that the Other's forces used poison gas on the town of Timoskloster.
The decor will wait. Currently headed there by train with a medical team to alleviate things.
I normally won't go personally, but I feel bad about sitting around while this happens.

What a nefarious person.
So sorry that ya' can't celebrate Christmas at Timoskloster...
I would like to teach this "Other" a lesson!

Avalanche!Kirby: Oh hey you. Thanks for having taught me how to talk.

Heh, if you wanna call that "talking".
Well it's less painful than the teal twin tailed trainwreck.

Avalanche!Kirby: True. They taught me how to trash-talk, more precisely.

I also (somehow) taught you how to play Puyo Puyo.

Really, we’re spending the Holidays at that old cathedral? - Ruggie

I wouldn't mind hanging out at a cathedral on Christmas, especially at night.
That sounds moah wike Hawwoween though...
Peach's "not amused" state
Avalanche!Kirby: True, althought we call it avalanche. Or ghost trap. Or something like that, I don't really care.

Oh yeah, with Robotnik's cronies! That one was funny and had an awesome tune when we played it! [1

You two may possibly find out that the "awesome tune" as you called it, was my theme tune.
Holy gazooks! How did YOU of all people get here?!!

Indeed it is!
Gee, I wonder what movie Candy Pakupaku plans on watching for Christmas (expecting Oogie Boogie to be singing along that "Night").

In my world, there’s no particular events coming up. There is the Lantern Rite, but that’s not until the new year, and it’s rarely celebrated outside of Liyue. I don’t usually pay much attention to it, as an Inazuman.

You’ve met em’?
Tama May Cry 3: Toony Awaking
No, that might be dangerous but I'd love to meet Jack and Sally!
I was more so poking fun at this girl's (Candy Pakupaku) love for Halloween even if it's over.

That's believable considering their species.
Somehow I think it would be kinda scary to live beyond that long.

I thought they were around during the Great Seven’s time or something like that. - Ruggie
