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.

] Good luck sir and be careful! I hope it won't be too much trouble out there. aroo.
Great, now I'm reminded of those weird grub things from Half Life. Pure absurdity.
The combine right? Some villains feel the need to go overboard with their plans.

Nope, not how Abyss Mages work, what did you really do?
Tama Knights III: Toony Academy
[1] OMG, those freaky things are so gross. It is even worth trying to assimilate the whole multiverse especially with the likelihood of others going against such a massively colossal process?
Yeah, one whole nation would have to be pretty powerful to deal with other realms and there's bound to be some forces more powerful than they expect. It's not always a practical goal imo.

I’m glad you asked.
I entered my portal in my world thinking of a Pyro Abyss Mage and holding a small chunk of portal material wired to a button.
I then appeared in your world near some sort of encampment. I then hid in a bush quickly out of sight of the encampment’s inhabitants, which seemed to look like some weird creatures with masks. After waiting for a while, I took a glimpse of a weird fluffy red creature with a black mask.
After waiting some more to see its mask, I quickly fire two rounds at its face using my Lee-Enfield. It then faded away somehow, leaving behind the contents of what you see in the picture earlier. I quickly took a picture of it, and pressed the button on my chunk of portal and reappeared back here.
Anything else you would like to ask?

Universe assimilation? Sounds scary. Hopefully my universe doesn't get assimilated and all of us are destroyed as a result.
Anyway, how is everyone's evening? What did you guys have for dinner? I had some nice pepperoni pizza and chocolate ice cream.

I repeat: Not how it works. Any Abyss Mage would put up their shield before you could get a second shot in, I don't care how fast you were.
Edit: Besides, if you were close enough to see its mask, it was close enough to see you. Those things don't care what you're hiding behind, especially not bushes.

Our evening has been alright, quite cold but certainly manageable. I also have to agree with our Tama friends, trying to be the owner of the multiverse isn't as enjoyable as one would think.

Well Aether:
- I am pilot with very keen vision over long distances.
- My Rifle No.4 has a scope that allows me to see the thing from at least 1.5 meters away or equivalent.
OOC: Also, how far would you be to see an enemy, but not be in its sights?

I'm gonna go to sleep early tonight. Both of my arms are extremely sore from the intense weight-lifting I did earlier at the gym today. I was bench pressing over 160 pounds. I need to remind myself not to overdo it. Good night guys.
My arms are hurting a bit too, from trying to move some boulders off one of the scenic trails near our village. Good night, and I hope you feel better soon.
"My swimsuit fits me well, right?" - Cynthia
I exist.
x3 Yeah it’s way more fun to visit an alternative universe rather than rule it.

[1] (sigh) You lack any and all sense of responsobility and accountability, should I consider you a threat? And I highly doubt you took down the mage, I believe you just used an image from the Genshin wiki.
[2] Then again, how would you know? And what does it mean to "own" the multiverse? Probably not to have political power, because the inhabitants of the (probably) uncountably many universes would object.

If such a man doubts your power, then obviously he himself lacks such abilities.
I belong to neither Heaven nor Hell. I am a woman self-possessed.
Tama Knights III: Toony Academy
Woah, dude! You look so cool! Would you mind giving an introduction?
That outfit is sick! But yes, there's no need to be in denial about power!
That might just provoke an argument he's trying to stay out of though.

It's not that I'm doubting his power, it's that Abyss Mages physically don't work that way.

Abyss Mages..? maybe I wasn't hallucinating when I saw konrad both dead and alive afterall cause the concept of mages seems unscientific to me so for one to exist implies the existance of the supernatural in general
This is for what you did to me last year
Cynthia at the Beach
Ugh. I just woke up with a massive headache again.
You're not the only one with an ache. Both of my arms are hurting a lot even after sleep. I think I might have a pinched nerve in one of my wrists.
Well, it's been a while everyone. How is everyone's morning going so far?
"My swimsuit fits me well, right?" - Cynthia
Tama Knights III: Toony Academy
[1] Hey, it's been some time since we've seen you in here! Perhaps you weren't hallucinating but that'd be an odd sight to see.
It moreso would be odd in his realm but not so much in certain others I believe. [2] We're doing fine, it's been nice and calm here.

Yeah long time no see indeed, just havent had much to add to most conversations latley but all in all im doing alrigh
This is for what you did to me last year
Extreme math nerd
[1] Bit late, but Abyss Mages are a Tevyat thing, they don't show up in the United Arab Emirates. Or at least, it would be really weird if they did.
As long as everything goes well, it'll be fine!
What did I miss? ...Oh! Something technology vs magic?
That's not the point of the conversation. Hmm, speaking of which, if an Abyss Mage's shield make it supposedly "invincible to physical attacks", does that means it requires someone with elemental proficiency with the correct element attacks to break it otherwise?
The Lady of House Solari
Maybe, or maybe undeath could kill these “Abyss Mages” you speak of.

I'm gonna go to sleep after a long day of swimming. Good night guys.
Me too. Good night everyone.
"My swimsuit fits me well, right?" - Cynthia
Hey, I’m back in my hangar!
Anyone miss me?
…
Anyway, here’s a result of my experiment:
The image depicts a pile of Mora and a weird white sprout
where a Pyro Abyss Mage used to be.
With a piece of that portal material, seems like I used, and I quote Epsilon, “the element of surprise” to take that fireball down with two shots of my Lee-Enfield to its face, no shield to deal with…
Edit:[1]
Good luck finding what universe I’m in to seize my portal, Epsilon and Aether. I just did a quick in-and-out of Aether’s world to test out something, that’s it…
