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.

What are you goin' on about, babe? I think you should try sorting that out in private...

Yelled at? That's definitely a bit on the concerning side though if it's something that should be kept private, I won't intrude about it.
I'm a tad surprised Jewelpets can get rough with their work, most of the Sanrio characters we've seen has it pretty easy with things.

Hi guys
How do I get people to stop comparing my best friend to his previous reincarnation (the war crimes were NOT Dan Heng’s fault)
“You carry the aura of the stars, interesting...”

Whoa, so many new posts already! I didn't know a forum thread could move so fast

I don't know much about reincarnations, but are your friend and their previous version different people?
Tooru
Well, changing topics, am I wrong for having my… Profession? I mean, I escaped my really fucking evil boss, but what now? Do I keep my sinful profession but I keep all of the money, or do I pursue a new dream?

Yeah! They’re different people! Watching people treat Dan Heng like he’s scum because of what someone else did makes me so upset. Acknowledging Dan Feng is dead and buried seems to be INCREDIBLY difficult for these people
🔴🔴🔴GO, MY HAROS🟣🟣🟣
Sorry, but demons are paid? What do you spend the money on? Is there a market system in Hell?
Sounds like these people are looking to lash out, and your friend happens to be the most convenient scapegoat. Maybe redirect their hate at something else? Of course, it would be ideal if they stop hating altogether...

] Like maybe you can turn it around in some way? I mean, you wanna make better name for yourself so that might be a bodacious idea imo!
Keep pursuing whatever dreams you want as long as they're helpful for you! Mind telling how much money that is exactly? Sounds like a lot.

Like what? Dan Heng was allowed back from exile, but everyone keeps treating him like a criminal. What Dan Feng did was unforgivable, and I understand that, but... Centuries. Centiuries have passed, and the perpetrator is dead by your own orders. Forced rebirth was punishment enough.
🔴🔴🔴GO, MY HAROS🟣🟣🟣
To live again and face the consequences of your past crimes... Wow, that's a really nasty punishment. Is this why some writers consider immortality a curse?
But you speak highly of your friend, so he must be a good person, right? Maybe they will come around and see that he's not the same as his predecessor. Hopefully sooner than later
I probably should have asked this earlier, but who are these people and what did Dan Feng do to them?

The people of the Xianzhou Luofu. They're mostly long-life species, the native humans live around 700-1000 years. They consider this a curse, and messing with life cycles a cardinal sin. Dan Feng, the High Elder of the Vidyadhara tried to brink back a friend who had died in combat, and... created a monster that terrorized the Luofu. His punishment was forced rebirth (and only forced rebirth, because of past merit). Dan Heng, his reincarnation, was unfairly imprisoned for several decades and exiled.

Well... Benjamin told me that I could set up my Instagram modeling account here but I wonder what this is about?

Uhh... I doubt any of you know my job... I just need to know if it's bad for me or others, or not.
Do you wish to pursue me..?

That generally depends on what job it is since not all positions out there are that good obviously.
Bow chicka bow wow, I probably shouldn't cheat to find out what you might have to deal with.
Oh you sly Dawg Yumemitchi, that line practically tells something (which I should keep out of, yikes).

From what I heard from some of the sun god's counterparts she's probably someone who works in hell.

I was told that this thread is filled with people from many different worlds and there's no real set topic. I guess you can consider this a virtual, multiversal hangout spot? Also, what's this about Instagram?
How "sinful" was your job?

Well... considering I have a lot of admirers (including a few females I know) and I like talking beautiful pictures of myself it was like... why not? Wait... don't you have at least a way to share photos back in your world or something?
"I just need one of you to come here to give your life to the sun god. It will be for the monkey city's glory."

Oh, mine's got plenty, we can even beam pictures straight to my neural cloud! It's just I'm unfamiliar with this "Instagram".
Let me guess, it's some kind of a social networking service?
Lovepilled and Hopemaxxing
Adora, the High Priestess
Yes. Guess you use something like how monkeys where I'm from can get boosted with technology.
"I just need one of you to come here to give your life to the sun god. It will be for the monkey city's glory."
Tooru
Yes, I work in hell. Also, I'm a man. And if I were to send images of my job, I'd probably get banned from this forum instantly. Let's just say its marginally better than being a mobster like I was in life, which was idiotic. I'm also no longer forced to do it by an abusive prick of a demon overlord.
Do you wish to pursue me..?
🔴🔴🔴GO, MY HAROS🟣🟣🟣
Too gory to even describe, huh... Guess you really dodged a bullet there.
You know, I used to work for a cartel myself, and while the pay's great with tons of benefits, it doesn't compare to the freedom I get after being terminated. Maybe you could do the same!

As long as everything goes well, it'll be fine!
As expected of how a single post right a day after it just went inactive would bring this thread back! And by the way, I'm Ai Miyashita (refer to me as Ai)!
Apologies, I just think we're living in different time zones. Ai opened her phone to access this forum thread after finding several notifications after her post here. As for me, I would like to say, that there are special procedures required to post images in "TV Tropes", where you cannot post direct link to images outside of it's local website
