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.

(I'm back again.)
Mafioso: "Heyo, folks. We've got some... uhh... not-so-good news."
Yi Xi: "It's... about Cakey. Take a look..."
(Mafioso guides Yi Xi over to the room where Cakey's ghost was being hosted in. The room looks to be a dark condition. The coffin that Cakey was supposed to reside in is empty, though stained with ectoplasm. A hung noose is above the coffin, though with nobody suspended by it. Bloody marks are on the walls, spelling out the phrase "I'M SORRY KANATA" over and over again.)
Mafioso: "I don't know exactly what happened, but Cakey's ghost looks to have vanished. I don't know what happened. Maybe her ghost died, and she's outright ceased to exist. Maybe some grim reaper came to take her. Or maybe she just left. I don't know, but none of the outcomes sound good."
Yi Xi: "Should we host a funeral for her...?"
I sadly doubt he would like Popeyes, though...

AITA for telling slanderous gossip and provoking the eagle and Nidhogg?
Mafioso: "Yeah, I know it's unexpected news..."
Yi Xi: "...But couldn't you all have prevented this? You were right there, just staring, watching... and when she outright wanted help... what did you do? You did... NOTHING."
Mafioso: "Sigh... it seems even trying to explain to her that there really was still hope and love out there wasn't enough to convince her to not... run away..."
Yi Xi: "...Yeah. I think we should at least go outside and mark a little grave for her... at least something to remember her by..."
(Mafioso looks to be holding back tears as he looks for supplies to set up a little funeral with. He hardly even got to really know Cakey before she vanished.)
I sadly doubt he would like Popeyes, though...(As Larimar sits down on the couch, her boredom at not being included causes her to start nodding off. She closes her eyes, and when she opens them again, she suddenly finds herself in a different house)
Larimar: "H-huh??? Where am I? How did I get here?"
(she then notices Watercolor, Colorpencil, and Torrent are inside the house)
Colorpencil: "I really wish we could have stopped this befo-who the hell are you and how did you get here??"
Larimar: "I'm just as confused as you are! I was at Nico and Arugula's place just a minute ago.."
Watercolor: "what and whom? Uhhhhhh, Larimar this is my girlfriend Colorpencil. Collie this is Larimar from the forum. I really wish we could've done this at a better time, but we need to get to the hospital. We uhhhh, got a call. Ryan's mental health is plummeting and they need our help...."
(Larimar looks down in shock before standing up)
Larimar: "i......i need to come too.......they're....they're my friend..... i cant lose them......................"
Torrent: "Well, if you think you'll be able to help, then by all means, you're welcome to join us."
(she joins the Yoncats and Mellorabbit in their car as they drive to St. Zenith Hospital)
Mafioso: "Yes... something to remember her by."
Mafioso and Yi Xi work together to build a small grave for Cakey outside Mafioso's base of operations. It ends up being a simple rock gravestone with Cakey's name on it. The borders of the rock are decorated with wildflowers. After Mafioso and Yi Xi are done decorating, they sit down by the grave's side, taking some time to mourn, with Yi Xi recounting memories she had with her. Once that's all done, Mafioso leaves behind two roses, one white and dried, one yellow and fresh, as well as a message."
Yi Xi: "Cakey..."
Mafioso: "Our dearest friend..."
Both Yi Xi and Mafioso: "We love you."
(To be honest, that was kind of a Tear Jerker to write.)

Tome: ...I'm so sorry for your loss.
Rex: Moment of silence guys. Moment of silence.
Protection and power are overrated. I think you are very wise to choose happiness and love. Current avatar: Connie
Alright, alright, enough silence. People die every day, but you don't give moments of silence for them.
Welcome, my little friend! Or should I say...friends????
: hey... people do die every cycle, but... when people witness some terrible happen to someone, it's completely understandable to mourn over them!!! a death is a terrible thing to witness!!!
I was never given any time to mourn. Why should I give some time now?
Viola
: because... you can be better then the people that hurt you. because inflicting the pain you suffered onto others isn't justice, it's just continuing the cycle.
hey- it- its gonna be okay- im here, you dont need to-
(to ralsei) i-im trying! im trying, okay?! i-i dunno whats happening so i'm just- trying!!
![]()
...Shut it.
You don't know a damn thing about what I've been through.
Welcome, my little friend! Or should I say...friends?
People would want to have a moment for silence if you died, would'nt they?
(Hey, I want to say I've created a list of roleplayers and their characters' pronouns in this roleplay
to prevent misgendering! I don't have everyone listed, so feel free to add your own stuff to the list.)
Viola
: ...i'll admit that i don't. but... i believe being cruel to others is never justified.
Starrk
: yeah... i know i'd mourn you.

Rex: You're right that we don't. But showing compassion when you yourself are going through a hard time... that's strength too y'know? And you're stronger than that.
Tome: Regardless, whatever is going on with you, I wish the best and that you'll pull through.

Yeah!

Can I add to the list?)
Riku: "Yawn... hey uhh... I'm getting used to this place... but what happened?"
Yi Xi: "Well... uhh.. I held a friend for a friend who just... disappeared for some reason. I don't know where her ghost went. But you may not see her for a while."
Riku: "...But why do you look so sad about that? You usually look so happy when someone dies... because you just think it's a free meal, right? At least that's what Saki says."
Yi Xi: "...Riku... my specific diet does NOT mean I can't feel sad when someone I knew is just... gone. She was someone I knew quite well, even scored a few dates with!"
Riku: "...She?"
Yi Xi: "Her name's Cakey. She was a real sweetie in life... but now her life's been ruined by what is most likely someone gaslighting her into thinking she did something horrifying to one of the idols."
Riku: "What was it?"
Yi Xi: "You don't want to know..."
I sadly doubt he would like Popeyes, though...
x4 Doubt it. I'm not attached to anyone.

I'm not being cruel to anyone. Just bringing them down to reality.
A sanitized version of reality is not real.
And you don't even know me. Don't lie.
ooc: i tried making mine as extensive as possible!
...maybe too extensive (;;;・_・)
hope that's fine haha

The last time I had compassion, I was pushed to the ground. I was kicked against the curb.
...I don't feel anymore.
And shut up. You don't know me.
Welcome, my little friend! Or should I say...friends?
Riku: "She did something horrible to one of the idols? But who?"
Yi Xi: "Well, someone though Cakey had... had her way with an idol from a rival company... her name was Kanata."
Riku: "Do you mean one of those Love Live girls? I wish I got to knew them."
Yi Xi: "Yeah... I think you'll enjoy getting to know them..."
I sadly doubt he would like Popeyes, though...(The 3 arrive back at the Devil's Strait, where Diana is standing outside
Diana: "So, you've finally returned. And you brought some guy with you."
Kogane: "Hello there, other Diana! My name is Kogane!"
AU!Dian: "Yes, Kogane-sama is my partner. He is a golden retriever and he has eyes of gold. Well actually, only one of them is gold. His left eye was damaged and had to be replaced with a prosthetic one that can't produce magic, so his magic power was effectively halved, though it was already very strong before. His jewel power is of Redemption and he-"
Kogane: "Hey, Dian-sama. I'm glad you like me enough to infodump about me, but we're on a schedule here, and I know you wouldn't want to see that disrupted, so let's keep moving."
AU!Dian: "Sorry about that, Kogane-sama. You're right, we should keep going."
AU!Diana: ''"I'll stay back here with the other me. Good luck you two!"
(Kogane and Dian get on their broomsticks and fly in. While Kogane tries asking where the other Dian is, he notices Dian has gotten distracted by some glassware.)
AU!Dian: "This is some really nice stuff"
Kogane: (gently pulling him away) "Hey buddy, again, it's great that you're finding things you're interested in, but we need to be focusing on helping your other self. Do you know what room he's in?"
AU!Dian: (sheepishly scratching behind his ear) "Uhhh, sorry about that, again. He's over that way"
(He points in the direction of the other Dian, and the two fly towards it. The Dianas, having witnessed the whole thing, have a brief chat)
Diana: "Dear god, is your brother always this clueless and dense??"
AU!Diana: "He is not dense! He's just neurodivergent as am I. I think he might be acting up because of the combination of the unfamiliar setting and being around his boyfriend"
(The two enter the other Dian's room, which confuses him.)
Dian: "So, you've returned, other self. And who's the other guy?"
Kogane: "My name is Kogane, and I believe that everyone should have the opportunity to try again. I've helped my Dian, so I see no reason why I can't help you. Now, let me cast my magic, and then, I want you to tell me what has been bugging you, so I can help you"
WITNESS THE REDEEMING POWER OF GOLD!!! JEWEL FLASH!!!!!
(a cloud of golden mist swirls around the room)
To Be Continued

(You don't have to ask to add pronouns to the list! Ideally, I want as many roleplayers and characters that are frequently misgendered listed as possible to prevent further issues.
[2]
No need to apologize about being extensive! In fact, being extensive helps!)
Viola
: but saying that it's wrong to mourn someone who died a horrible way... isn't "sanitizing reality". that's... that's just being mean.

(The page is locked, though...)
Riku: "Could I go see Cakey's grave, please? I'd love to make an offer to it... perhaps something to tempt her to return..."
Yi Xi: "That's a bit weird, but... I'll let you do that..."
(Riku sits down by the rock that is Cakey's grave, and he places a plate with a watermelon on it.)
Riku: "Do you think this will invite her return?"
Yi Xi: "Maybe? But... we'll have to check by next morning to see if there's a bite taken out of it or something..."
