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.

huh really~puri??? and what's this about an announcement~puri???
...it indeed is. Come on, Kris, steel yourself. Go ahead and break the news. I'm... I'm sure they won't be angry.
My higher ups on the website staff team... they've come to a conclusion. This forum thread will no longer have specialized moderators assigned to it.
Some members of the mod team may still have special privileges, albeit ones more geared towards other, more supportive roles, such as tech support. The vast majority of them... will be demoted.
...I'm sorry.
ehhh??? you guys are talking about me???

Xuan Yu: "Yes, it's me! And... it looks like your auntie Schmuck is here!"
Schmuck: "To be honest, I don't think Maus sees me as an auntie... sure... I named her... but she just sees her mom Kanata as an older sister..."
Arc: "Heh... that's kind of funny..."

Arc: "Hey, Roe. How are the Tinylings doing...?"
(For [2]
Schmuck: "I'm doing just fine, Mausie! Though... I do have plenty of stress on my shoulders from frequently having to save my friends from trouble..."
Xuan Yu: "What's your day-to-day life like... Schmuck...?"
Schmuck: "Well... it varies. Some days it's a warzone... other times, we're able to just do things at our own pace... though... unfortunately... it seems like Chance's attempts at getting more money have grabbed the attention of someone I don't like..."
Arc: "Well, who is it?"
Schmuck: "Well.. it's not Mafioso... nor is it any of his kids... ugh... just thinking about how she looks makes me queasy..."
Xuan Yu: "Are you going to throw up...?"
Schmuck: "Maybe? The coffee I had today tasted horrendous..."

...hey, I'm not mad. And it's not your fault. I'll er...I'll just have to try to solve disputes without banning privileges~! ....i-it'll be fine. At least I did one thing, aha~
[2]
One of them's in my lab right now making soup. IT IS NOT A KITCHEN THERE'S HAZARDOUS MATERIALS IN THERE—
[3]
Again, I'll...try my best.
I decided to listen to a math class that seemed to sound interesting. I took notes and did some of the problems all from the air vents. I had to translate them to English because I struggle to write in Japanese. I then decided to take a short nap before I was awaken by a pain in my stomach. I was starving.
I went to the cafeteria to hopefully find a bite to eat. I ended up hiding under tables stealing food until I ended up in my good pal roes table. I snagged some food from him. He had some funny reactions
later on that day I was observing that same group from the sewer drain. Chara and whatever his name is tried to get me to apologize. I tried apologizing with food but I wasn’t in a position where I could give it directly to their hands so I threw it at them. Unfortunately they don’t have that good of a reaction time so the food hit them in the face. They got pissed and Chara thought that the best thing to do with me was kill me. I tried to apologize again but they just wanted to kill me even more. I tried dancing and singing but once again, they got even more aggressive
roe pulled up and lectured both Chara and I. The lecture spooked me a bit cuz it reminded me of how the other tartar would scold me. Of course I calmed myself down enough to look like I wasn’t shitting myself. Roe then said he would bring me some lunch for me because trash isn’t the best food for a regular biological body. That really helped me calm down. On the forum Chara got muted. I then decided to go back “home”.
today was a little different from yesterday. It feels like living in a drama tv series. Anyway I better be getting some rest. Tomorrow might be a big day

Arc: "Oh, cool. Can I give them drywall? Qing Su really wanted to give them drywall..."
(Arc offers a chunk of drywall to Roe. Does Roe take it or not?)
I literally cannot make out with a television the fuck
Y... yeah. It's not your fault, Roe.
Yeah... I've always just been part of the tech support team, not anybody with moderator privileges, so I'm not affected by this personally, but... I can't help but feel bad for all the moderators who genuinely wanted to help the forum, who just had their privileges taken away from them because of a discussion they were never aware of.
I'll... I'll make sure to give them all something. Even if it's just a certificate for their efforts in helping. Thank you for your hard work to try and make this forum thread a safer place.
AITA for telling slanderous gossip and provoking the eagle and Nidhogg?

...okaaaaay?
Roe walks over to the Tinyling who is making soup—a Tinyling that looks strangely similar to Roe—and gives it the drywall. It quickly grabs it and throws it into the soup.
I don't think that soup is suitable for human consuption anymore—
[2]
Good to know...wait, I get something? That sounds interesting~
roe doesnt know it was hir fault ooc ;-;
[3]
Y-yeah, I...I think I've changed. I think I can stop arguments without flame wars, I....I can actually help.
: ![]()
Just stay out of Hell, the Netherworld, and any pure lands and you'll be fine! Wait.. you guys have powers, right?
OOC: Ngl, I really hate the madainans in hindsight. Would it be okay if we stopped talking about them? They're gone. Sorry if this question seems rude by the way.

Wherefore comest thou here?
Floragato: "{I realize this probably isn't the right time, but what's everyone been up to? I've been talking with Lari for about half an hour over a video call.}"
Peridot: "Ummm, sorry man, I got no clue. If you're looking to ask around, maybe you could try asking my bestie Ruby! She's over that way, her house has a bright red roof, you can't miss it!"
(She gestures to the northwest. Meanwhile, Luea is helping Ruby with Ruffles)
Luea: "Dear Jewelina they're energetic...how do you and Spinel handle them?"
Ruby: "Well, they've got very specific habits and ideals about things, and while it's hard for them to communicate that, on account of they're nonverbal, they're body language should tell you how they're feeling."
Ruffles: *(Playing with swim rings) (humming cheerfully)*
Luea: "The way Ruffles-tan is playing...It reminds me of when Larimar-san was younger..."
Ruby: "Ehhhh??? You knew Lari-chan before I did?"
Luea: "P-probably yeah...I was asked to watch over her when she was younger once. Back before her father stopped bothering to hide his true colors......back when dina was still alive........."
(Luea starts to spiral, but is quickly snapped out of it upon hearing a knock at the door. Ruby answers it, and finds a brown rodent-like creature at her door, one that almost looks like Ruffles.)
Well, I am human so I'd be kinda screwed there! I do have cool anime fire powers though! ...Though a lot of the time they're more for show
Gensokyo sounds fun! And if anyone wanted to mess with me they'd get a quick taste of a CPU protagonist's power!
Edited by Zanreo on Sep 2nd 2025 at 5:06:08 PM
My favorite failed console tbh
: CPU protagonist's power? Sounds awesome. By the way, there's no taxes and limited government interference! I smashed up someone's house with a mallet because they didn't pay their bar tab and nobody went after me!
Incidents happen quite a lot though.

Xuan Yu: "Say, Schmuck... who's this woman you hate so much?"
Schmuck: "Ugh... I just... really don't like thinking about her! I don't know how Chance can stand being around her! Though... if you really did want to see her... she does seem to be friends with Cakey now. Don't know how it happened..."

Noah: It's nice to have mods around, trust me, it is, I'm sad the system is being abolished. But I prefer we share the burden together instead of relying on a select few.

Rex: Well duh, Hell's not a good place pretty much anywhere.
Noah: Nope, no powers.
Tome: No powers unfortunately.
Anne: Used to have powers but not anymore.
Marcy: Briefly used to have powers but not anymore. You... don't need powers to survive in Gensokyo right?
Danny: I'd imagine you have to? ...Not really interested in Gensokyo myself. Thanks.
Tome: Why the heck not?!
Danny: 'Cause it's not my thing?
