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!
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.

Speaking of swimming, I actually was once swept away by a rip current
as a 6-year old. I was able to make it back to shore after swimming out of the rip current, however. You need to make sure you pay attention to these things when swimming in the ocean or a river, otherwise it can be dangerous.
Sorry for the lateness, but nice to meet you, Eevee!
Ah, I’ve got something. Does the word “Spark” mean anything special to you?
Indeed it does, so I believe you've gotten the right one! Sounds like you guys at the Nexus Archives have done your work.
Now I'm kind of curious what your naming system (if you have one) for universes is like.

Oh? So you're not interested in gathering data from our universe? I guess I won't judge your choices then, and here I was prepared to exposite the details about the Garden Project, something I'm sure Icarus and Morgan would love to hear. But it's nice to know that an all-seeing multiversal nexus doesn't care about prying into our matters, so I'll continue to abide by the pact I made with "her".
[1]
Got the database downloaded! It might take several days until I can give you data on overlap or a specific list of universes that are likely to be overlaps.
In the meantime, do you have data on my homeworld?
[2]
The thing is - you said that the ultimate aim of the Garden Project was confidential, correct? I have no reason or good excuse to pry into that, especially because Exotic Ventures is already busy serving three other universes. And because spying on people demonstrates distrust.
Edit: that might've come across wrong. What I mean is that I'm not going to do any kinds of projects primarily involving your homeworld without your consent - you're an authority, after all.

If it disagrees with experiment, it's wrong.

Generally, we have a naming system that follows a single word about the universe (not necessarily in any particular language, but always transliterated), and then a numerical system for easier computing. For example, your universe is catalogued as “Spark 90480”.

No, no, I’m interested. I’m a bit tied up, but I can send a colleague over.

When Dracula's Curse is manageable through grand melodies.
Very well. Here's an old tale that was passed down throughout our civilization for 10 billion years. Pay attention now.
The Tale of Queen Aria and the Promise of Life
Long ago, when the universe was still in its infancy, existed a lone world where the first life arose. A beautiful garden of plants and exotic creatures, all living in harmony.
The universe was a violent and deadly place, where stars explode frequently and abyssal voids threaten to consume all who pass too close. This garden was nothing short of a miracle to exist.
On this garden, we were but feeble mana sprites, unable to interact with the physical world around us.
Until one day, two sprites met a lone traveler. She said...
"I come from a different time. It's fun to see what it was all like."
Intrigued by this mysterious traveler, the sprites accompanied her on her journey across the garden world. The traveler carried with her two dolls, which she said were childhood friends she had played with. They were inanimate, but the sprites were nonetheless piqued by her story.
In exchange, the traveler decided to give her dolls to the sprites, in order to give them physical forms so they can finally interact with their world. Thus arose the Doll in white; Aria, and the Doll in dark; Narnia. Together, they continued to travel with her until the traveler was finally satisfied with her journey. Before she left, she told them...
"The universe will end someday by Heat Death, so enjoy your lives while you can. The important part is to have fun."
The traveler then disappeared into a portal back to her time. However, the very notion of the universe having a finite lifespan that will die someday haunted the Dolls, so they formed a pact with each other...
"If the universe has an end, then it is our duty to stop that end. Let us prevent the Heat Death together, and let the universe live eternally with the promise of life!"
After the pact was made, the Dolls used their knowledge from the traveler to create more Dolls, officially forming the first Doll civilization; the Queendom of Aria, with Aria becoming the Queen to lead us all to prosperity.
We took to the Sea of Stars, quelled the violence of the Abyssal Heart, and established the Capital on a Lumenstructure around it; the Castle of Eternity.
From there, the Dolls began the Garden Project, in order to seed planets with life so they can produce enough mana to stall the Heat Death. Mana is the embodiment of life, and so it is natural that it is the only counter to the universe's inevitable death.
The alchemists worked tirelessly, but they eventually succeeded in creating enough life to stall the Heat Death of the universe. Queen Aria's dream of an eternal universe has come true, and with it, the Queendom of Aria lived in prosperity.

Woah…
Oh…
That’s…quite the history you got there, Narnia.
Speaking of which, it reminds me of something that I have, but it’s gonna take some time for me to find it…
OOC: Now I am very interested for your idea, VintageEmma…
Yo buddies, still tropin’?[1]
That's an interesting story... I'm confused about why you're scared of the heat death of the universe, though. I mean, isn't the idea of fighting against it a bit megalomaniacal? I'm fully aware of the inevitable doom of my civilization, but I still try to make the best out of my life, because I have nothing better to do.
That being said, your determination is surprising.
What idea?
Edit because my wording was drunk and high
Edited by StepexNo2 on Mar 25th 2023 at 10:02:46 AM
If it disagrees with experiment, it's wrong.
In hindsight, the very idea that the words of some random traveler from another time haunting me and Aria which spurred us into taking action against Heat Death may sound absurd, and in some respects, it is. However, you have to understand the context at the time. We were immature mana sprites getting used to our physical vessels, and we have extraordinarily long life spans, unable to die by aging without being killed by outside factors. For us, with the possibility of witnessing the Heat Death in the far future, that future is something we fear the most. Being stuck in an endless limbo where nothing exists is too indescribable to put into words. It also means the end of all life, no matter how short an organic lifeform's lifespan is. Their future generations would experience that same fate too.

Wow, that's fascinating. I didn't expect that story to go down that direction, much with the heat death of the universe.
So . . . Are you the "Narnia" of this story? Do you remember this happening?
(x2)
Well, I suppose it all depends on if you can stop the end of your civilization or not (with these Dolls' magic, I don't know if it's outside their power). Also, even if you can't, it'd be good for all to at least prolong your existance.

My thought on heat death is that it's quite scary as a concept, that nothing will ever exist after the fundamental forces become too weak to hold things together. However, due to quantum fluctuations still existing, this could give a chance of a second Big Bang somehow arising from a random fluctuation. What are your thoughts on that idea?
Seems interesting as a concept. Though we'll all be long dead by then so it'll be impossible for anyone to find out.

Hey Narnia, Icarus, Stefan, or if anyone’s curious.
Here’s my own secret, or at least part of it anyway, I’m getting the rest of the transcript at a later time:
INTERVIEW TRANSCRIPT FOR THE HAGUE PART 1
1 (INTERVIEWER): The date is June 6, 2030. State your name and occupation for the record.
2 (SUBJECT): My name is Morgan Foulke. I am a pilot and formerly flew for Kaiser Defense Systems’s Monarch Squadron, United Nations (UN) Task Force 13’s Archwind squadron…and Boogeyman squadron for A World With No Boundaries (AWWNB).
1: For this interview, we are determining Mr. Foulke’s punishment for his transgressions during the Four-Year War and the Global Anarchist Uprising. Such transgressions as laid out by the members of this tribunal include, but not limited to: desertion, deliberate friendly fire that resulted in multiple casualties, and associating with a terrorist group that intended to overthrow multiple governments and posed a threat to humanity as a whole. Do you understand the ramifications these transgressions?
2: Yes.
1: Then confirm the following: Have you shot down your squad mates following Operation Kerberos?
2: Yes.
1: Have you deserted the NATO-UN task force in favor of anarchist forces in the form of AWWNB, the main terrorist organization responsible for the uprising?
2: Yes.
1: Have you knowingly committed attacks against UN, NATO, CIS, and Chinese and related targets?
2: Yes.
1: Have you committed any possible war crimes under the employ of AWWNB?
2: …Clarify.
1: Observers have noticed you bombing a civilian protest in front of the courthouse during AWWNB’s activity in Chicago. I will ask again: Have you committed any possible war crimes under the employ of AWWNB?
2: …Yes
I hope it doesn’t change your outlook of me…
Yo buddies, still tropin’?
Just to clarify some misunderstandings, our universe isn't dead... yet. It is 13.5 billion years old with plenty of life still going, and our efforts over the years have successfully stalled the Heat Death as the universe continues to rapidly expand. However, with our civilization's collapse 500 million years ago, and with much of our infrastructure to maintain the Garden Project severely damaged, the mana from the planets we seeded with life will run out in about 1 billion years from now. Once mana levels are too low to stall Heat Death, the universe's natural decay will resume. Who knows if it's even possible to salvage it by this point, but I will continue with my own investigations, still clinging onto hope under the promise I made with Queen Aria.
I'm not sure if that is even possible. It's so far ahead into the future that not even we can accurately test that out ourselves, much less if we even have that power to begin with.
Such an interesting past you have there. I never knew humans have such dynamic burdens. I'm not one to judge one's moral standing to label a "criminal" since I have my own issues to deal with, so rest assured, I do not think ill of you.
Oof, sounds like it's hell there if that's the case.
Guess they decided to give war a chance!
I wonder was the fuss about involving that battle?
[1]
As far as I know, heat death is defined by the universe having reached a state of maximum entropy, where there would implicitly not be any energy gradients left to affect it. Everything would have the same heat for the rest of eternity - hence the name "heat death". By definition, no living organism would be able to perceive the heat death of a universe.
Though if you have some kind of perpetual motion machine - which the mana cores sound like - you can perpetually feed the system energy, and it will never experience heat death in the first place!
I'm not an expert on energy economies, especially on such a cosmic scale, but that's what the aim of the Garden Project sounds like - constructing a perpetual motion machine with a high enough energy output to leave yourself infinite creative freedom. Theoretically, any net positive could do - just buffer the energy until you have enough to work with, then fool around until you're out, rinse and repeat - but practically, the idea of waiting one trillion years while an energy buffer fills up at a rate of one joule per year gives even me weak existential dread.
On that note, for the people here who don't have a theoretically infinite lifespan, I've heard a quote somewhere that captures the idea of "eternity" quite well. It goes something like this:
At some point in the far future, the fly will have removed the planet's entire mass, and there will be nothing left of it. The entire process will take an unimaginably long timespan. Is this eternity?
No, it doesn't even begin to describe it. Eternity cannot be described."
[2]
So, you're a war criminal. The interview definitively proves it. But the interview doesn't tell me much else about you - why did you do these things? Were you forced? Did you simply not know any better at the time? I don't think humans are inherently monsters, I believe there's always a reason behind things like these. Worst case, be it egoism, but you seem like a sane person.
I agree! Were it not for the fact that the war machinery you own was functional, I could've mistaken you for a military enthusiast the first time I met you.

Er, can you elaborate, please?

Yikes! Dat sounds weawwy scawy!
And I thought the old days of war were bad.

Okay. The first thing I'd do is consistently shoot any and every piece of air-based nilitary out of the sky, until they learn to stop. Unless they can't, in which case I'd be wasting resources.
