Our avatars are posting on a forum thread.

Go To

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!

    Original post 

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.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bubbletchi_33.png   Eh figures he'd be quick to get that game for a fellow simian.   

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/detective_dragqueen.png That's right and it'll certainly be a motivating goal for Tome!

     Don't concern yourself 

(Routine is in shock at Watercolor's presence. Larimar and Torrent also slowly enter)

Torrent: "Hey there, little guy (gender neutral), we heard you weren't doing very well, so we're here to help you out"

Larimar: "r-r-routine-kun.......are you gonna be okay.......im sc-scared for you......."

Routine: "...............................im scared for myself too.............i.....dont know how i can keep going.........."

(Watercolor and Larimar look at them with immense worry, while Torrent closes their eyes inquisitively)

Torrent: "I've been there before" (to Ralsei and Seabird) "Could you two kindly step out into the hall?" (to Watercolor and Larimar) "You two, try and help them feel a little more comfortable"

(Ralsei and Seabird step out of the room. Watercolor and Larimar walk up to Routine's bed, with Watercolor gently rubbing their head, and Larimar holding Routine's left paw)

Torrent: "Now then, Mx. Ribboneel. I've been here before, so if you're comfortable sharing, what exactly has gotten you so scared?"

Routine: (internally) "i really dont want to share whats going on in my head......but......if i dont.........im letting down the people that actually care about me..........." (whimpers tearfully)

To Be Continued

...*sigh* I can't believe I'm back here to actually do my job instead of just talk—

OKAY.

Look, I understand it was two pages ago and also nobody really cares anymore, because people here are as impatient as a damn swordfish, but I really want to emphasize: Keep. Your spoilers. In tags.

Frankly, I didn't particularly care, because I spoiled myself on it anyways, because I didn't want to spend 18410 Cash (70 dollars in USD, I know, inflation is crazy) on a game that didn't have what I wanted in it. But other people care, y'know?

I don't want to be the one who has to say this, but experiencing media blind is a magical thing to do. What do you think happened when I played Octopath Traveler II for the first time?

So I really want to make this clear. Please, if you're going to discuss a game that just recently came out, tag your spoilers. It'll be easier for everyone.

...I think we might need a spoiler policy around here.

Now, with that out of the way:

[1] From what I've heard, when they made the Switch port for Tropical Freeze, they did want to put K. Rool in it, but then they weren't allowed to by higher-ups because they thought it would make his eventual return in Smash Ultimate feel a lot less grand. Which... frankly, I'm happy they did. His return in Smash was amazing.

Welcome, my little friend! Or should I say...friends?

MkayRose Noah: ...Yeah I'm surprised that he has like over 500 dollars on him.

Rex: Hey good for Bobo. ...Then again he could've gotten those money through 'bets'.

Noah: That would make too much sense.

Tome: Yeah! Wishing for lots of cases that pays big, then I can get it when summer ends at the latest!

Rex: Wasn't the big cases are like super dangerous though?

Tome: High risk high reward. I'm not going to be killed, don't worry.

Neonocto Daaaang lucky.

Dani: Good for ya.

Eisner Tome: Noted for next time. Sorry for the trouble.

[2] Thank you.

Okay, before anything, I need to establish: what's the latest technological development that's been made in your world? Like, what's the most recent news you've heard about stuff in your world?

...Also, just call me Marina.

[up]x9 Hm...

I'd say a month, but sure, as long as spoilers stay in tags, 2 weeks is fine.

[up]x8 I am not "at peace" with this place. Just... tolerating it a little more.

Also, I thought we made it relatively clear that you need to have a clean record to be accepted.
