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.

Checked the morning paper today. The front page story is about a serial killer who got arrested recently. When he went to the courtroom, he pleaded insanity on the basis that he's a Spark. The court's response was a high-security prison.

I can tell that serial killer isn't actually a Spark; I know first hand that what he described is not how it works. I don't know why people even try the infamous "Spark Insanity Plea" anymore, because it only shows they either don't understand how the Spark works or how the justice system works. This idiot seems to fall into both camps.

As a detective, I’ve sat in on my fair share of trials, and the overlap between criminals and both idiots and geniuses is surprisingly strong. People of average intelligence aren’t smart enough to think they can get away with it, and aren’t dumb enough to try anyway.

[up][up] Interesting... dunno if the killer needs a high-security prison, in that case, but I'm glad he's locked up. Say, how well is the general population educated on sparks, especially if this kind of plea is still getting used?

I have exams to prepare for and homework to do, so... dunno about Icarus

I got into a rabbit hole of tinkering with material properties of identity mixtures/alloys! The stuff's really interesting, I bet you could build a chemical computer with it, or at least reduce circuit component size by another couple orders of magnitude. For now, though, we're just seeing if we can make titanium any stronger.

Speaking of the Spark, I’ve gathered a few more stories of Alice, for your amusement.

Ahem. Bombed Stormterror’s Lair because she didn’t think it looked enough like ruins. Proposed “perpetual motion” in a way that is less than ethical for the hilichurls involved. Launched hilichurls from the tree at Windrise to see if Venessa’s ascension was possible. Tried to cure a guards stutter, made him repeat everything one says to him, called it a success. Let three prototype self-propelled seashell boats explode, injuring multiple. Called a firework maker following safety precautions “too conservative with explosives”. Called peacekeeping laws “silly”. Invited the youngest daughter of an Inazuman noble family to an idol group. And that’s just scratching the surface.

All of this is canon.

Wow, that's wild.
I'd read Girl Genius too, but seeing as it's all real and it might show private scenes that the characters don't necessarily want you to know about, I don't know how to feel about it.


Forgot to mention it earlier, but: Uirst, if you see this, I might have a vague idea how your reality warping tech works. It's all theoretical right now, though, and it'll probably take ages to properly implement. It goes like this:

But if your serious about the topic I honestly cant offer any form of help as that is quite literally how one uses it simply understanding the mechanics by which it is done.

Sorry for not replying (busy day). But I'll do a rapidfire round:

[1]

Say, how well is the general population educated on sparks, especially if this kind of plea is still getting used?

Depends on what it is they'd know about. Most people know the general concept of how we act since they tend to be educated for safety, but what it's like to be us is much less well-known. That's why people are bad at impersonating us.
It also depends on if you live close to a lot of Sparks, but I figured that was pretty obvious.


[2]

I'd read Girl Genius too, but seeing as it's all real and it might show private scenes that the characters don't necessarily want you to know about, I don't know how to feel about it.

Not sure why you guys are so interested in that one, specific retelling of events. Unless it's the only one that you can even access in your world; and the idea that my life's story is only known thanks to Philbert of all people is quite frankly a horrifying thought.

(OOC: If you actually are unironically interested in the comic, then THIS thing HERE will be your best friend until the end of days. Binge-reading Girl Genius was so confusing for me before I found it.)
(Or you could read the official novel adaptations (1, 2, 3, 4), but those cost money.)

On that note, I've been pretty interested in hearing about Teyvat, but the fact that apparently the main source for information on the place is paywalled makes it hard. Plus, some of Teyvat's inhabitants seemed pretty weirded out when I mentioned this very site having a page on them, so I'm not sure if me spending the money would be some kind of invasion of privacy.

Which reminds me:


[3]

Speaking of the Spark, I’ve gathered a few more stories of Alice, for your amusement.
Ahem. Bombed Stormterror’s Lair because she didn’t think it looked enough like ruins. Proposed “perpetual motion” in a way [. . .]

I must say that Alice sounds like a very . . . How do I put this . . . Interesting person. Though not unfamiliar, unfortunately.
I assume that "hilichurls" are some kind of small creature, if I'm not wrong in that assuption. Also, what exactly is crazy about inviting a noble's daugter to an idol group? Depends on the meaning of "idol" here, I suppose.

(OOC: From what googling things tells me, Alice doesn't actually appear in person in Genshin Impact. Just out of curiosity, how are these Alice Facts™ communicated to us? Is there supplimentary material or are they just scattered all throughout the game's dialogue?)

[1] If you've got a better retelling than the webcomic, I'd be interested to hear it, sure! I don't know about any other retelling - well, the page says that there's a couple of books on it, but still.
Also, if you're referring to the Genshin game, that's free to download. You only need to spend money if you want to draw the lootboxes (or "prayers", as they're called, IIRC). I personally wouldn't recommend paying for them - Genshin has some very nasty predatory mechanics designed to make you spend as much money as possible on it, and I'm at least glad I've found an alternate way to enjoy that world.

If it disagrees with experiment, it's wrong.

Hey guys. Sorry for not being around as much these past few days, I've also been very busy with homework and a research project, it's very challenging. Also, I've been looking at album covers for upcoming trailer music albums, and apparently, they're producing an "Anthemic Beer Choir" themed swaggery percussion album. It's something that I found unexpected, to say the least.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mina_ashido_family_guy_11_26_22.png

Marnie, that's so cool! I think such an album would be pretty well-suited for use in advertisements for comedy movies and stuff!

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/momo_yaoyorozu_cosplaying_as_hayley_smith_1_27_23.png

I also think that kind of music would be well-suited for family movie advertisements as well, which is especially ironic considering the word "beer" in the description of the album.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kyoka_jiro_family_guy_1_8_23.png

Any other upcoming albums you've learned about, Marnie?

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/marnie_pokemon_family_guy_10_7_22.png

Well, there's another adventure and fantasy orchestral album that's a continuation of a previous one they released a year and a half ago. Apparently it seems that only two composers are working on it this time as opposed to the original which had multiple composers as a group project. Also, there's yet another tribal-themed album, this time a tribal percussion sound-design suspense one.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mallow_family_guy_1_1_22.jpg

I don't see anything wrong with that. I mean, sometimes tribal elements can enhance the intensity of the music. Also, adventurous fantasy orchestral themes are pretty neat to listen to.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/marnie_pokemon_family_guy_10_7_22.png

Well, I've been trying to get into composing sound-design stuff of my own, but due to the extra homework I have to do I find myself having less time to do music. Oh well, maybe I'll get a chance during the weekend or something.

[up]x5 Explaining why exactly the action was so odd requires a bit of Inazuman cultural context. The specific girl in question is Kamisato Ayaka, who is known primarily for her reclusive nature, and, thanks to her status as a high-ranking member of the Yashiro Commission, is not the kind of person one can approach for a casual chat as a stranger. “Idol” in this sense refers to a (usually entirely female) group of stage musicians. And “hilichurl” is a general name for a group of creatures which can be found all over Teyvat, slightly smaller than humans, and with a primitive social structure and language. Some have learned to use magic, but very few.

They come mostly from a series of books written by Alice herself called the “Teyvat Travel Guide”, which has three (quite short) volumes at the moment. What I provided there was a highlight reel, essentially. There’s other mentions of her, but they’re almost all in reference to her relationship with Klee.

It's kind of a bit annoying that I don't have time to compose music due to schoolwork, and for those who do have the time and opportunities to compose music, they're focusing less on the genres that I actually want to compose, such as the industrial-influenced digital suspense tracks.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/momo_yaoyorozu_cosplaying_as_hayley_smith_1_27_23.png

I know how that feels. I wanted to do research reports on atmospheric gases in my free time, but I could never do that because of other commitments, and I see other people doing research reports and I kind of envy them. Best thing to do is focus on the most important task and get that done and then use the remaining time to do whatever you want to do.

Oh, wow, it's online! And for free! No piracy required!

I must admit, I never read the graphic novel, mostly because I refuse to give my money to a man who would dig up old rumors about my family. But if it's free and online, I might actually read through the thing now! With adblock.

Ah, I see. It sounds like it's a social status thing. It'd be like if someone invited me to perform in a travelling circus for the next few years — and not for a disguise or something, but actually telling everyone who I am at the shows.

Yep, defenitely sounds sufficiently mad.
