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.

The Saint ...Huh?

I don't... I actually don't understand, sorry.

Monk Hey, if he gets to psycho-analyze someone, I get to psycho-analyze him back. I don't see how it's fair for him to do that while I can't do the same thing to him.

Aaaand they're gone.

...Sorry...

Ori and The Saint: I'll admit that I maybe don't have a horse in this race, but... I believe Monk-san had a point, for maybe not for the right reasons. You see, it's one thing to try and psychoanalyze someone when you are, for lack of a more polite term, "having a crashout" and are not in your right mind as a result.

It is another thing to try and, as Monk-san put it, "grill" another person for information when you are perfectly calm and have minimal emotional investment in what's happening and they very much aren't. In fear of sounding rude, it makes you come off as... a bit of a jerk, and the fact you explicitly stated you are trying to dig up this information not for a selfless purpose, but for the sake of a "big scoop"... does not help your case.

   SHIZUKO?!?!?! when the heck did YOU get here?!?!?! ヽ(#`Д´)ノ   

I have been lurking this whole time. I just couldn't find a way to word my feelings in a way that was remotely comprehensible until after the Flame War cooled down. Sometimes hot emotional highs can make me... scared to post. Especially when it feels like saying the wrong thing might get me hated...

AITA for telling slanderous gossip and provoking the eagle and Nidhogg?

Shizuko Okay, hold on—

I feel like I have to make something clear: none of that will be on the record. I would rather kill myself before I let someone's mental health be on any newspaper. The gods know I've already tried...

But regardless... yeah, that... that all makes sense. Sorry about all that.

Honestly, though, I just wanted to say all that because I wanted to help. I took a few psychology classes because I wanted to understand the human condition better. And because I wanted to help people.

But yeah, I'll try to read the room better. That one's on me.

Ruby: "please big bro......I'm trying to protect you....."

Spinel: "What could possibly so important that you think I need protection from?"

(Ruby is suddenly bombarded with memories of    him    and starts panicking, sobbbing, and hyperventilating, with red lightning crackling around her)

Spinel: "Uhhhh, are you oka-"

Ruby: (freaking out and shaking Spinel) "OHGODSPINELWEHAVETORUNAWAYNOWWECANTEVERGOBACKHEREIFHEFINDSOUTYOURHEREHESGONNAKILLYOUANDTHENHESGONNAKILLMEANDTHENHE.......THENHE........."

Luea: "Ruby-san, I will not repeat myself. You are in no state of mind to be here right now. Go home, try to relax, and stay away from the forum until you feel safe. That is an order."

Ruby: "....................................................................................................................ok"

Spinel: ".........I should probably go too. Make sure she doesn't do something she'll regret. Sorry to everyone who didn't really get to know me."

Luea: (to the others) "I am, very sorry you had to see that. She isn't usually like this, which unfortunately only reinforces my belief that serious shit is going on"

Come to think of it, I also felt it coming off of Monk-san when they got angry just earlier. I worry that there's some connection between the two instances."

[up][up] Sweet Jewelia.. this being isn’t just after Ruby, he’s targeting the forum. There’s only one other being that thrives off of hate.. *sighs* But he’s supposed to be Deader than Dead so it can’t be him.. Let me ask you both: is there a being in your world that is so hateful he’d try to drive everyone to feel the same hate he has to the forum even from beyond the grave?

Ori: Apologies for my bluntness, but a few psychology classes... do not put you in any place to diagnosing the issues of others. I think it's best to leave that sort of prodding in the hands of genuine therapists.

That being said, I appreciate your genuine apology, and I hope to see that you'll make do on it. You do not know how much of a relief it is to see someone earnestly apologize for saying something in poor taste here.

ANGRY MONK LORE: ...ah.

My apologies if I'm intruding into something I shouldn't be, but that's... concerning. That is very, very concerning. It seems likely that Monk-san and Ruby-san... have been afflicted by some kind of emotion targeting curse.

...somehow, this situation is finding ways to get worse.

(Hey, oaiM? While I want to say I earnestly don't mind you implying that Monk fell victim to Inesite's curse, and in fact actually am excited to see where this plot point could go, I want to say that it might be best to ask before pulling a twist like this in the future. It could result in some people getting mad...)
