Our avatars are posting on a forum thread.

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.

Well, I am a Nikke, designed to protect humanity from dangerous Raptures.

I’m part of a team called Absolute, the aces of the Ark. That said, considering who my teammates are, chatting here is a nice change of pace compared to the Blabla chat system we have… grin

[1] Noted. For anyone interested in the party, tell me once you're available and I'll come over to collect a sample - shouldn't be anything to be afraid of, organics often have some cells in their saliva.
Also, can I ask Sucrose to conduct the tests in the universe where we'll have the party?

Won't be able to interact much cause it's 2AM for me, so just pretend the interaction happened

Also, an interesting edge case to think about: Stefan's food will be tested with a method that's (probably) incompatible with Gil and Tarvek's homeworld, within a universe of a degree higher than Tevyat. If the test confirms the safety of the food, does this result also apply in the universe of Girl Genius?

If it disagrees with experiment, it's wrong.

Sucrose probably wouldn’t be super comfortable with travelling universes (considering that I don’t think she’s ever left Mondstadt), but there’s nothing stopping you from taking the modified flowers to the universe the party will be hosted in and doing the test yourself.

Given that the comic has a page where there's a giant vat of bubbling green liquid labeled "DO NOT DRINK," and a character drinks a glass of said liquid only to survive the next 12 volumes unharmed, I'm sure it's fine.

In seriousness: I think the results would probably also apply. However, I still think it'd be neat to have the safety tests on Gil & Tarvek be either RPed or implied, if only for the sake of roleplaying purposes.

[1] CenterBrain, how did I miss that message yesterday? My name's Icarus, and the organization I work in - Exotic Ventures - does almost anything lighter than five solar masses! Sometimes even for free. If you need something done, ask me, and we'll talk out the details.

Hi, new user. I'm Stefan, and I'm pretty much a normal human. College student, first math semester.
Unrelated, but before I go off to Tevyat, I wanted to share a banger. Enjoy

The Ark is more or less an underground city, where all of humanity lives and hides from the Raptures, while Blabla is like this forum, where we chat between squad mates.

OOC: If wondering about Emma’s world look here or this wiki, though the latter is not as extensive and I am not as experienced in Nikke than with Houseki no Kuni…

As for what's up on my side of things? This morning, my physician gave me a sleep schedule to follow. I've had sleep problems lately and he thinks sticking to a schedule is what I need.

Hey guys, sorry for being late today. Mina Ashido and I are at a painting activity. We're painting some birds on trees. By the way, one of the trailer music record labels I was following just made several of their albums from late 2018 to early 2019 public, including that "Incubator" sci-fi thriller album I mentioned a few days ago. My favorite track from that album is the first one listed there, "Ghost Particle", as I like the relentless sci-fi synths featured in that track.

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

I took a listen to that track as well, it sounds really neat. Sounds like something that would play in the trailer for an action-packed video game or a trailer for a Transformers movie.

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

Kind of also takes some inspiration from DOOM, I think.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/pokemon_penny_jungle_2_19_23_face_paint_1.png

Interesting. The composition of that track kind of sounds massive.

[1] tested icarus' exo today and damn. thing can launch you far, bet you could run around a planet with it alone if you have the stamina
comes with the drawback of being exhausting to use if you're not prepared. but it still worked perfectly after i was done! 10/10 would use again.
though i'm still sticking with my current exo just cause i'm used to it, no offence

[2] i'll 1up ya. one full day of beating up genetically engineered alien combat androids, followed by a half-day goose chase through assorted asteroid belts

I think he was just responding to my question about what's up, not showing off how much he exerts himself.

oh. still I'm proud of that day

Just got back from the painting activity. It was fun, and the birds I painted looked very nice. By the way, the same trailer record label I was talking about also released a 2019 industrial rock trailer music album, "Bullets + Rhymes", to the public. The first track on that album, "Supercrusher", sounds really massive and awesome.

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

Ooh, I just listened to it just now. It sounds amazing! Something I would see definitely being used for a video game or movie trailer. That has an intense, gargantuan atmosphere to it.

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

They also released their late-2018 horror album, "Grinders", to the public as well. My two favorite tracks from that album are "Skinwalkers" and "Revivification". They really sound massive and intense at the same time, and do have those industrial, Silent Hill influences.

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

Those tracks sound really dark, brutal, and gritty. I like them! You have really great tastes in music, Marnie!

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

Thanks for introducing us to these tracks, they sound amazing!

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

No problem. Those albums are from 2018-2019, back when sound-design albums were more common, and they still had between a whopping 30-50 tracks each. I miss those days. Nowadays the few sound-design albums that do still get produced usually have 20 tracks or less, averaging around 17-19, in constrast to the now more commonplace orchestral albums with 20-30 tracks each.
