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.

Today I am to gather Violetgrass. It is a very useful herb, Dr. Baizhu says. But he needs a lot more than normal. I wonder why.

Valentine's day is going well for us currently! So many sweet treats to have and share! aroo.
Not to mention that party tonight! I heard they have puffy pretzels with cinnamon pudding was on the menu!
That's all nice and dandy guys. Surely, Valentine's can be celebrated without romance and just good old friendship or even just treating yourself to great day like we are!

We're back, everyone. Marnie and I are having a spaghetti lunch together at this famous Italian restaurant.
It's really cool! The cuisine there is so delicious! And my Morpeko really loves the berries there!
Next we're gonna be watching Terrifier 2. Somehow that is still playing at this theater, for some reason. Also, Terrifier 3 was recently announced to be in development.

When I came back with the Violetgrass, Baizhu only took some of it to the back room. He put the rest upstairs.

Happy St. Valentine's Day! This morning, Sturmvoraus dragged me to Notre-Dame Cathedral, and I must admit that it was actually beautiful.
Yes. For today, they put out a beautiful polyptych of St. Valentine, St. Anne the Ancestor, St. Edward the Confessor, and St. Teodora Heterodyne titled "The Saints of Romantic Love".
Yes, it was quite lovely. We lit candles and prayed for the well-being of Agatha and her friends. I hope she comes back to Europa from the Rat Islands.
I hope you're all doing well, too!
...why am I surprised?
Hmm, I never thought of it like that, but I suppose I am a virus, aren't I?
But don't blame Prince Dumb and Baron Dumber for that. My takeover of this site's software is entirely my doing, and indeed had started before I knew they were even here.
Smoke Knights can be detected in an area by a few very specific things that can only be noticed by trained eyes. You meet almost none of those qualifications, meaning the chance of me mistaking you for one is quite low. So don't worry.
I mean, don't worry about that specifically. You should still worry about me in general.

] Mmm, spaghetti! Good choice, I also enjoy your taste in films as it's always a good time for spooks no matter what month!
Like that's easy for you to say Candywoman. Regardless, having fun is totally matters most and we're having a good time in this surprisingly warm winter day!

Movie was great. We're having dinner at an exquisite restaurant now. After that we'll be watching a double-screening of The Room and Troll 2.
So Bad, It's Good movies are so fun to watch.

Alright, pipe down hellhound (ugh now I'm rhyming too, thanks Candy Pakupaku). Surprised you have so much energy after staying up so late after the party last night.

Okay, Here I go, hum-hum...
JUST WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS LITTLE IMP ?!? SERIOUSLY, SHE LOOK LIKE SOME PATHETIC CHILD THAT'S EASILY BEATABLE, BUT FOR SOME REASON SHE DEFEATED ME 2 GOSHDARN TIMES!! (How humiliating...) WHY WON'T THE UNIVERSE LET ME MAKE HER PAY FOR ENTERING ON MY TERRITORY?!? OOH I'M SO MAD RIGHT NOW, I'M FULL OF ADRENALIN! WITHOUT HER MAGIC, SHE'S NOTHING BUT ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE BRATS !!! THE NEXT TIME I MEET HER I'LL KILL HER FOR GOOD!!!

Why? Is it full of annoying overpowered little girls?
I'm an Owlbear. I was just minding my buisness in my forest until that little human came along and entered into my territory. Nobody enter into an Owlbear's territory like that, so I attacked her, and she beat me. Being beaten by such a little thing is humiliating, so now i'm researching her to fight her again and save my reputation. If the other creatures ever know about my defeats at her hands, i'll never hear the end of it.

Ah, I understand. It may interest you to know that the Heterodynes developed some of the very best home defence systems tha—
Shut up.
Not you, Herr Owlbear, you can keep talking.
Anyhow — So you knew nothing about this little girl before meeting her, and she just came in and beat you in a fight? That's gotta be an unusually strong little girl. Do you know what she did to beat you?

[1] Would you tolerate an overpowered man instead (like a certain turtle in a red bandana)?
Still hook on those Open BoR games huh Coffretchi? It does sound funny such an innocent character being such a dangerous threat. Never underestimate the sweet ones!

Oof, I'm so tired. Last night was really fun, but now I feel like I need to sleep. (*Snores*)
Kind of a bit tired too. But I'm gonna go out to buy some groceries for the both of us. This week was one to remember.

She used some weird spells, like one that projected some ice at me or burnt me with some fire. I think the worst of them is the one which struck me with lightning. That's just cheating!!! SHE EVEN MADE ME FALL ASLEEP AGAINST MY WILL, THAT LITTLE IMP!!!

Sounds like pretty basic magic to me.

Really? Does that mean that you can easily beat her ?

Probably, but that sounds boring.

fighting is only fun when you have to put effort into winning after all.
I look to the stars... but that's mostly because there isn't anything else interesting
Merfolk, often worried
Hmm... I could've asked you to comes in my world to gives her a good beating (and you could fit well since you look like some creature of my world—like those dragon women), but I must fight her by myself to truly accomplish my goal. Enough seething for now, time to continue my quest... FOR REVENGE
