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.

Have you considered a tracking collar for maus? wait don't interact you can't handle it... oh, who am I kidding, as long as Elijah's not here, I can probably handle it.
genuinely thought it was gonna be Ikura in the backpack (I think I forgot how to spell their name) so at least Roe doesn't have to worry about them dying...

Arson!
Find some stranger, or else my universe is doomed... how am I supposed to make a decision like that.
Excuse me, sir. Did... you happen to receive any important letters recently?
...
Aren't you the "Steamed Hams" guy?
Ho ho ho! You knew about that as well? Well, I don't blame you. My house almost burning down did make Springfield news. But unfortunately, I'm not here to talk about that.
I'm Principal Seymour Skinner, Springfield Elementary, and... some friends and I were quick to learn about that letter you had received.
And we're interested in helping out. When you're ready, get back to me. And we'll have something to show you.
Ya know what? Sure will, mister.
SHE'S DEFROSTING
well, i'm glad you've been making friends, yi-chan~ mia-chan and rina-chan, too~!
oh, setsuna-chan's been acting strangely lately? do you think that she's perhaps sick, or sleep deprived?
Mr. G and Seymour
(I have to say, I find it really funny how Mr. G's most useful allies in this storyline- aside from Brandy, of course- are a bunch of The Simpsons and Love Live! character. Help really can come from the strangest of places...)
well, kasumin doesn't really know who you are, but YAYYYYY!!!! we could always use the help!!! ⸜(*ˊᗜˋ*)⸝
i guess that could work, but... i don't think maus-chan would enjoy being forced to wear an itchy collar or the time, or knowing that i always know where he is. maus-chan isn't kanata-chan's pet, after all; they're my little sister.
(Maus just smiles her signature :3 smile as she sits on Roe's shoulder, tail wagging.)
"I used your phone~kyaro!"
"Yup yup! Your magic smells yummy and metallic, like rusty metal or maybe blood~kyaro!"
"Oh, otay! I guess that makes sense; this place is way too nice to be retail~kyaro!"
"Fruit?! Ooooh, I wanna pick some fruit~kyaro! Haruka-onee-chan gives me apples and grapes to eat sometimes and they're really tasty~kyaro!"
(As Roe questions Maus on their lack of blood, they puff up their chest with pride.)
"Nope~kyaro! I've only got, like, data and stuff in me~kyaro! Rina-oba-chan thinks that makes me really cool, do you think that makes me really cool too~kyar-"
(Maus suddenly stops speaking as his ears twitch.)
"...ehh? What was that noise~kyaro?"
(A faint buzzing, like that of an insect flittering its wings, can be heard nearby, as can the sound of somebody unsheathing a blade.)
"Ohohohohohoho... did you simpletons really think your journey to meet the Noble Tender of the Sweet Bottomless Garden would be that easy?"
(~Pizzastropes180 psssssss here's your queue >;3c it'll be like a two-on-two fight! outsider and Your Guy vs maus and roe
)

what the... did I miss something?
![]()
...would a phone work?
You kinda remind me of Neo. They've got a little buddy too... granted, I'll don't think maus could do half of what smallfry does... Uh... don't know how to help on the whole where maus went fron I just wanted to point that out.
WHY IS THIS PLOTLINE SO COMPLICATED-

(This forum seems to be all the rage recently. Why not give it a try? Maybe I could get some art tips, not like I need them.)
Bonjour, forum!
UPDATE FOR RING RACERS ADDON IS OUTWh-what th—Maus, stay behind me.
Roe reached into hir backpack and took out a relatively large gold....thing wrapped in red ribbons.
...two battles in one week, eh? Ngh....whoever you are, I recommend you leave right now. I'm...I'm not safe to fight right now.
The gold thing extended into a long pole on one side, and the other......it was the same scythe Roe used in the fight against 「VICARIOUS」. Xe swung it around, trying to find the source of the mysterious voice.
Trust me things are going to get even wackier, right about... now.
Alright, mister. We're ready.
Hey, it's the- Yeah, yeah, I already lampshaded that.
Well... I guess you and your mascot friend are all ready to go. It's to round up the others!
The trio got teleported elsewhere!
The trio arrive inside a concrete gray meeting room. A round table, the kind particularly fitting for a group of mysterious individuals to sit at and clasp their fingers ominously, stands in the center, with enough seats for seven people. The table is just a few feet away from a large monitor, currently powered off.
Gotta say, mister. This isn't half bad.
Well, thank you. Right now, we're on the SS Borealis, a universal transit point between any and all possible realities. It's also my team's base of operations. I'm just going to send for the rest of them, so they know a meeting is in order...
Skinner calls for aid!

Yi Xi: "I mean... she COULD be sleep depraved... but I'd rather not trust her around Shizuku or Kasumin..."
Rina Tennoji: "Eh...?"
Yi Xi: "However... Cakey had advised us to do something if Setsuna arrives... give tea. He really does like tea."
Mia Taylor: "Yi Xi! Shizuku's a girl! And she isn't even assigned male at birth like Kasumin is!"
Yi Xi: "Dammit... you've clocked that I know more about this situation than I've already said..."
Rina Tennoji: "What do we do about it, though???"
Yi Xi: "...Cakey advised us to make tea for if Setsuna shows up. Apparently, whoever she really is loves that stuff and will usually be kind towards anyone who offers any."
Mia Taylor: "Did Setsuna get replaced by a a faerie or something??? Because that sounds like some arbitrary thing a faerie would do."
Yi Xi: "I'm not much of an English folklore buff, but... I can see why you'd think that..."
I sadly doubt he would like Popeyes, though...![]()
I’m not French, whatever that is.
Ah, I forgot to introduce myself! I’m an artist. I also have a sister, but she’s very rude; nothing like me. I still love her to bits though.
UPDATE FOR RING RACERS ADDON IS OUT
Yi Xi: "Hehe, bonjour... Elijah, Es-tu là?"
Rina Tennoji: "...WHA??? YOU CAN SPEAK FRENCH??? JEALOUS...."
Mia Taylor: "...Rina... shush..."
I sadly doubt he would like Popeyes, though...(if one could see in the dark...the gleam of a thumbtack-sized katana could be seen on a nearby shelf, glowing ever bright as it escapes its scabbard.)
...This is a test to see if you are worthy enough.
(...it sounded quite familiar.)
Elijah’s gonna look a bit… strange soon.
Why do I get the feeling the way I look will change both subtlely and drastically soon?
Wait, OH N-

(Also, while my characters can't exactly comment in universe, I have to say this is insanity in the best way possible. Love it.)
maybe~? maus-chan can travel through phones...
and who knows~? maybe maus-chan could do everything that smallfry-chan can~
oh, hello~ who are you~?
Espresso Gang (about "Setsuna")
i mean, setsuna-chan is transfem...
so what you're saying is that setsuna-chan has been... replaced?
Espresso Gang (about Yi Xi speaking French)
now, now, rina-chan, there's no need to throw a big fuss about it~ you know, i never knew you could be so dramatic when jealous...
(Maus is confused, but nonetheless obliges, jumping into Roe's bag. They poke their head out of the bag, watching with nothing but confusion.)
"Ehh? What's going on~kyaro?"
(From the corner of Roe's eyes, something shining with a faint teal glow can be seen pulling two sharp wheel-shaped objects
from behind its back.)
"What? Do you attend to run from this fight like a coward? Come, face us like men! Quell us in combat most noble!"
(The creature steps out of the darkness, revealing themselves to be...)
(...some kind of fluffy slugcat with insectoid traits? A grin spreads across its face as it points one of its wheels at Roe with dramatic flair.)
"Now, hexed princess of a dual nature and beast of the Digital World! Our blades shall clash until one of us falls like the setting sun! Let the duel commence post haste!"

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

M-MAUS-CHAAAAN!!?! WHAT ARE YOU-HOW-WHY ARE YOU IN MY BAG—
Roe almost drops hir flashlight in shock as he lets Maus jump onto his shoulder.
...you...you think I smell nice~? Ahaha, thank you~ I take a lot of time making sure I'm never irritating to any of the senses to be around, especially sight and smell~ My original body used to smell like BLEACH naturally, I had to spend AGES on my perfume every day to fix tha—I'M GETTING OFF TRACK.
AHEM. Er...no. Uriah is not a customer, she's............not important~
Hmm....it might be a little lonely climbing this mountain all alone.....h-hey, you're already here, so...why don't you come along~? I'm just getting some fruit from a gardener, it shouldn't be THAT dangerous~
...w-wait, you...don't have blood, do you.....?
