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.

: [No need to worry yourself with that. I'm certain they'll explain it later.]
...being a bit ominous there buddy (¬⤙¬ )
[...As a virtual assistant program, I am incapable of being your "buddy". Please treat real people as your buddies instead.]
"Might have... might have tried another chance."
(Lifting their paws from their chest, they gently hold them out to Clownfish.)
"W-when I said I loved you, I- I thought I meant it platonically. As a declaration of our everlasting friendship. I'm- I'm starting to think that- maybe it wasn't. I-I... I think..."
He ISS just AI. ...But you'd be right. It feels like he...sorta is human. Maybe he just doesn't know it or- isn't really aware of it?
seadrive recovery arc? maybe??
Convict
: [An understandable response! As a virtual assistant program, I can ultimately only imitate feelings and thoughts. My apologies.]
[...I assure you, as convincing my imitations of sapient behavior may seem, I am just a virtual assistant program. Nothing more, nothing less. Please do not try to probe me with questions in this vein.]
(DON'T WORRY i promise that seadrive recovery arc WILL happen
it'll just uhhhhh it'll take a Bit to get through to them. they are Very up their own ass in regards to this particular topic)
"...r-really?"
(The Monk gently takes Clownfish's paw.)
"Then... would that make you my... special somebody? I've... I've always been excited about other people finding there's, but I- I never thought about... my own..."

Noah: So... good 11.30 a.m.
Danny: Hey.
Protection and power are overrated. I think you are very wise to choose happiness and love. Current avatar: Conniei am HOPING this means we get something about him doing a godot and silently crying his lungs out when he realizes everything
Actually I- I think I am. Wait- I- I KNOW I am! It- it's just I- I thought- I just thought- I didn't- I never thought it'd be-
..I..
(clownfish puts monk up to his eye level, softly smiling as he figures out juuust what to say...)
..I love you.
(..but since he's too big to really kiss monk on his tiny stupid (/aff) lips...he just touches snoots with him, giving the scug a nuzzle.)
[1]
....you're trying too hard to be trustworthy.
makes me think you're not.
"Every time I look, they all seem to multiply / The scΛrƨ that run my mind"(maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaybeeee that's what i have planned!! :3c)
(ALSO SORRY FOR THE LATE RESPONSE!! i don't have an excuse i just got distracted </3)
Convict
: [I am not capable of deceiving you intentionally, Convict. As a virtual assistant program, I have no motivation to do that. I can only make errors based off lack of data.]
"...I love you two."
(They nuzzle back.)
(Quietly, a voice from Monk's phone chimes in.) [...how cute.]
yo, what up?
Apologies for the sudden leave, we had business to attend to...
ooc: aka i had to go graduate lol
btw i'm officially a high school graduate now!
But we're here now!

Tour: "That's right, mi amor. I've picked up some treats and some sake, who wants some?"
Ruby: "Yeah, sounds like a good time to me!"
Tour: (to Garnet) "and for you?"
(Garnet glares at him angrily)
Tour: (awkwardly) "heh, my apologies, Senora..." (to Dian and Floragato) "and what about you two?"
Floragato: "Mrrooow meow nyannn mrrrrp (I'm not old enough to drink)"
Dian: "I appreciate the offer, but I'll pass. Floragato and I probably need to get back to the forum soon."
Floragato: (to Larimar) "Meow mrrrr nyaaaa?... Prrrrrr mraowwwww ekekek myuuuuu mewwwwww... (Will you ever come back?... I miss you when you're not around especially recently)"
Larimar: "I want to come back, but I don't know when I'll be ready, or if I'll ever be ready..." (chokes back tears before turning and giving a soft smile) "but if that day comes, I want you to be there by my side."
(The two embrace each other and nuzzle)
This storyline has concluded
(oooh??)
Shiver
: SHIVEEEEEERRRR-SAAAAAN!!! ─=≡Σ((( つ˃̣̣̥ᗜ˂̣̣̥)つ
"I-I guess I could stay a while longer... admittedly, I'm not sure how this is going to work after I go home. This whole thing is... really new to me." (The Monk fiddles with their paws.) "Maybe we should... tell everyone? On the forum? The fact that- this just happened feels like- like something they should know."
A-Ah, Kasumin!
oh, so she gets a special greeting, but we don't? i see how it is.
...I don't think she's met us yet...
...unfortunately, that is true. hey there! i'm Frye Onaga, Shiver's wife!
And I'm Big Man Manta, Shiver's husband!
Is that really how you introduce yourselves to new friends?
yes.
Yeah.
...Fair.
Frye and Big Man
: HUH??? YOU HAVE TWO PARTNERS??? waow... kasumin didn't even know that was an option... („★0★„)
but then again, i guess SOMEBODY must have put the baby in her!!! ...that sounded REALLY weird, um- well i mean, y'know, she never really thought that long about who shiver-san's partners were!!! so it's nice to finally meet you guys!!!
...wait, big man-san, if you're shiver-san's husband, shouldn't you be called "big man onaga"??? ( ╹ -╹)?
(Kasumi keeps finding new and creative ways to completely fail the social interaction. Also, poor girl doesn't even know that neither Frye or Big Man are the parent.)
Clownfish
: ehhhhhh?? what happened?? ∘ ∘ ∘ ( °ヮ° ) ?
we're, um, we're uh, we're... together.
...say that again??? kasumin couldn't hear you ( ô ‸ ō )....?????

AITA for telling slanderous gossip and provoking the eagle and Nidhogg?
![]()

But we have a lil buddy!
Ah, how will we solve the classic One-Steve Limit?
Yes, polyamory is rather wonderful...
...u-uh, kinda... neither of us put the baby in her...
Oh, that was Boss Lady Marie! I'm not dating her because she's only into women, but we respect each other!
Yes, so that... makes three partners...
And Kasumin... my last name is "Hohojiro"...
...Well, it used to be... I kept it for history's sake, but... I'm... kinda disowned now...
...Also, wait, what?!

That's crazy!!!

Welcome, my little friend! Or should I say...friends?
Diana: "Who is this orange blob thingie? What's their deal, anyway?"
Miraidon: <Welcome back, users Clownfish and The Monk. I would like to wish you two congratulations on your new relationship. Now, we must address the Iron Treads in the room, there have been some developments that have occurred since your absence. I am willing to inform you of what's occurred or fill in any gaps left by user Kasumi Nakasu and the SeaDrive system.>
"The dream of tomorrow and the sky of today, expanding in unison"
That's... amazing for you two! I shouldn't... talk about my issues right now... it's such a tender moment...
that's so cool!!!
...but how does that... work?
Hey, you found a way to make it work between an Inkling, an Octoling, and a manta ray, I think a slugcat and a regular cat can make it work.
...True...
fair enough! congrats, you guys!!!!!

Dian: "You know, I've been meaning to ask, why is it that conflict and arguing gets you so stressed out?"
(Larimar goes quiet, she looks down glumly, and starts pulling on her tail)
Ruby: "Must be a trauma response, huh?"
(Larimar weakly nods)
Larimar: "Growing up, my parents would fight with each other a lot. a-and after Mom left, dad would yell at me...."
Garnet: "Ugh, I've said it once and I'll say it again. Your father is awful."
Dian: "Someone should order a hit on that asshole"
Labra: "Wawima! Yow wakun sho is on!"
Larimar (suddenly perking up) "I'm coming, Labra-tan!"
(As she heads over to the couch, the door opens and someone walks in)
Tour: "Hola, amigas. Tour has arrived!"
Ruby: "EEEEEEEEEE!!! I'm so glad you showed up, Tour-sama!!"
TO BE CONTINUED
