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.

"W-would you have rather I used the water? I guess it was kinda awkward... cleaning someone with- with your tongue isn't normally something- something friends do-" (The Monk seems to realize mid sentence that they just dug yourself deeper, as they cover their face with their paws in embarrassment.) "U-um, sorry!"
(The Monk precedes to dig themself even deeper.) "For... for us slugcat... cleaning another is kind of- personal? It's either a family things or a- a romantic-"
(Long, awkward pause as they realize what they just said.)
"...hey, C-Clownfish? What's... what's romance supposed to be like?"
(Fun Monk facts! I personally imagine this take on Monk to be some flavor of greyromantic
, in the sense that, while they can experience romantic attraction, it happens very rarely, and most of the time they have zero interest in romance. It would not be hyperbole to say that Elijah was probably their first crush in their entire life, and Clownfish their second. The more you know)
(As they enter the house, they can see Garnet and Sapphie working in a vacant room)
Ruby: "Hey, Lari-chan is back, and Dian-kun and Nyarote are here too!"
Dian: "What exactly are you guys doing?"
Sapphie: "Right now we're building a room for Larimar-chan, so she has a place to live."
(Floragato suddenly yelps in surprise as a small bear grabs her leg)
Labra: "Hewwo gween kity, wabu. Yoo vewy sof, wabu."
Labra: (sadly) "Nooo wabu. Wabuwa is sowwy Wawima, wabu"
(Labra waddles back over to the couch to watch tv)
Floragato: "Meow mrrowww? (Who was that?)"
TO BE CONTINUED
Theres someone who gets you too well, and that..they want to spend a lot of time with you. And in return you..want to feel the same. So, you talk a bit...get together...
...Do you think you...felt like this when talking with Elijah?

: [Welcome to the forum thread, Badass_Biker_666! That is certainly a melodramatic username you have there!]
(The Monk makes a knee jerk answer.) "N-no! M-Mister Elijah's just a good friend of mine, he's not-"
(And then they start to actually think about it beyond instinctively saying no.)
"...is he?"
(The Monk thinks about it, long and hard.)
(They remembered the time when Taro came to visit them, and them and the forumgoers thought off Green Lizards. The Monk had barely been able to scratch them, but Elijah beat them down with his hammer like they were nothing. And while the Monk normally felt a bit bad fighting off predators trying to kill them... at that time, seeing Elijah fight the Green Lizards so easily was... exciting.)
(They remembered when Elijah revealed he had cerebral palsy, and Klug picked on him for it. They were... so upset. They were on the verge of trying their best to fight him off theirself... and then Ecolo took notice, and everyone knew what happened after that. Elijah was devastated.)
(They remembered the hunt for the cannibals that went awry. The death of Mister Maguro. Even with the knowledge that he was better now, thinking about it still stung badly. It was perhaps the first time that Monk was ever excited at the prospect of killing someone, even briefly. They remembered Elijah telling them he had helped stop the cannibals, and how it gave them peace, for at least a moment.)
(They thought about how it always felt like something bad was happening to Elijah. Always getting into arguments, or being picked on, or being blamed for everything that went wrong... they wished he could be happy for once.)
(And then Miss Vi confessed to him.)
(They were overjoyed! Finally, Mister Elijah had gotten the reward he deserved! Someone who would love him unconditionally! Someone who would never argue with him, or pick on him, or blame him for everything that went wrong.)
(But at the same time, it brought out these... sickly feelings in the Monk's heart. Sorrow, longing, resentment. It was as if their chest had been filled with black tar, a heavy mass of whirling, tumultuous feelings that felt like it could burst at every moment. But no matter how hard they hacked or coughed or vomited up everything they had until their organs came spilling out of their mouth, that thick bile in their chest would never be free.)
(...because, perhaps, they had never gotten a chance to say it.)
(Gently, the Monk places a paw on their chest... and then squeezes it so tight that their fingers dig into it like claws. It's a bit painful, but it's... cathartic, in a way.)
"So, i-is... is this the pain of a broken heart? It- it feels less like it broke, a-and more like it rotted."
(I JUST REALIZED THAT THIS IS A MISINTERPRETATION OF THE POST THAT COULD BE HAD so I want to say. The gross tar and vomit related metaphors for Monk's heartbreak are purely metaphorical. Monk does NOT have Hanahaki Disease. You all probably already knew that, but like, just to make sure.)
AITA for telling slanderous gossip and provoking the eagle and Nidhogg?the moment you say hanahaki im reminded of my cringy gacha phase and how that was half the rage over there
..So... Do you think that because you lost your chance with him...you tried another chance when you came to me?

: [...is this supposed to be directed at me?]
(The Monk looks stunned. Are the feelings they have about Clownfish... really comparable to how they felt about Elijah?)
"I..."
(But how did they feel about Clownfish?)
(Well, they loved and cared for him a lot. That was a given; it was how they felt about nearly everyone. But perhaps, now that they thought about, the way they cared for Clownfish was different.)
(They remembered at first, they clung onto Clownfish. After all, he had joined the thread after a suicide attempt, of course they were worried sick for him. Always trying to make sure that he was doing okay, that he was recovering...)
(But as Clownfish recovered... perhaps that feeling of clinginess, of protectiveness, began to stem from something else.)
(They thought about how at their lowest point, when they were quarterpips away from spearing Yi Xi in the throat, they had suddenly been transported over to Clownfish. And while it was silly to thank Clownfish for something that ultimately had nothing to do to him... some part of Monk owed them for saving them from themself.)
(And they remembered how overjoyed they were when Clownfish finally step foot outside the hospital.)
(And how they always made sure to say hello whenever he was on the thread.)
(And how a few cycles ago, they had declared they loved him.)
(...maybe Monk just couldn't help but love those that they felt like they needed to save.)
(Their grip on their chest lightens.)
"I... I think I- I might have."
(In the background, a familiar automated message rings out.)
