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.

Well, even if I wanted to drink there's no way they'd sell me anything looking like this! I'd buy a soda though

just because you didn't see it coming doesn't mean your responsible.
i-i didn't even see it coming.
"And for one night only...you can get your revenge."
...hm? slugcats?
Oh, really-
Chrysocolla logged on.
...hm?
Um, everyone? I... I have an announcement to make.
"Ha, do I? Well, I've gotta lighten things up around here somehow, right?"
"Nice ta meetcha two! I've never heard of anythin' like a "Jewelpet" before... I must have ploinked real hard to get here, hah!"
(At that, the Mariner laughs and crosses his arms.)
"Right, right; ya both must be reeeaaall confused! No need to worry, little fluffy things; so am I!"
"Well, let me explain what I do know! You two fluffernutters can call me the Mariner; the Stouthearted Swashbuckler of Shoreline! Or, at least, that's what I call myself..."
(The Mariner scratches at their gills, nervously.)
"But that's beside the point! Why, last thing I remember before I got here, I was off on a very important mission..." (As the Mariner continues, their voice turns a bit solemn.) "I've been searching for someone very special to me. A kid who looks a lot like me, just pastel blue instead of russet, and without all these marks..."
(A sigh.)
"They're... the last thing I have of their ma, and... I don't know what I'd be without them. They're the world to me, my celadon pearl! Shoreline was the last place I ever saw them, and, well, I just needed to check..."
"I... I did a little ploink, and somehow I ended up all the way here! I know from experience that ploinking can get ya places, but this is ridiculous! It's gotta mean something, right? Maybe there's something special about this place! Maybe... maybe I'll finally find 'em!"
(From atop a cliffside- distant enough to go unnoticed but close enough to serve as a perch for observation- a sparkling indigo slugcat and a strange, skink-like Lizard covered in glowing indigo markings watch, a faint smile creeping across the slugcat's face from the Mariner's resolve.)
"...how very interesting."
(Gently, the slugcat nudges their compatriot, causing him to turn to face them.)
"...I've done what I need to do. Let's go, Hiraeth."
"Gurururu?"
(The slugcat pulls out a glowing, golden flower
, and takes a bite.)
(The cliffside RIPPLES , as if it were a pond... and in an instant, the slugcat and its tamed lizard are gone.)
(A world away, a very different slugcat was having a very different day.)
*YAAAAAAAAAWN*
"Ah, what a spectacular sleep! This cycle shall be wonderful, I feel it in my heart, my soul, and my hemolymph!"
(After quickly stretching its arms, its wings, its leg, and finally its tail, and shutting off the magical lantern sat next to it with a wave of its arm, the Outsider excitedly sproinged out of its bed, which is luxurious and covered in elaborate designs, but nonetheless slugcat sized.)
(And now, it was time for one of the most important parts of their cycle; their morning routine!)
(First was personal hygiene; taking a quick shower, brushing its teeth, making sure not a single strand of fur was out of place, the works!)
(Then, some quick exercises, to make sure they could stay in tip-top shape! Some pushups, some stretches, some squats, and of course, a quick testing of their light emitting organs!)
(Next, it'd have to decide what it was to wear today, of course! After some humming and hawing over its wardrobe, which had long amassed many outfits, the Outsider made its choice; an elegant, midnight blue robe, embroidered with ice blue flora and flittering butterflies, with a necklace of multicolored pearls, as well as pearls beaded around its antlers. An ice blue rose, picked from Xi Yi's garden, finished the look.)
(And finally, there was perhaps the most important part of their morning routine...)
(With a smile, the Outsider opened up a drawer on its slugcat sized bedside table... and removed a blue pearl .)
(Those memories were a little fuzzy at this point, but the Outsider would always fondly remember their Childhood Friend.)
"Now, now, Pearlcat Junior! 'Tis time for your daily scrub-"
(FLASH)
"HWUH?!"
(Startled, the Outsider steps away from the Agility Sentry , blinking in surprise as the blue light reforms into an ever familiar slugcat.)
"P... Pearlcat?!"
