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.

Oh, really? That's awfully kind of you!
Routine: "I really appreciate that, though i dont even know what i want to talk about.....maybe i could ask what you've been watching lately?"
Peridot: "I didn't know any of this! All I said was "Maybe see if Ruby has any clues", I didn't know she was harboring the damn thing!"
Ruby: "Well, that seems a bit harsh, but yeah, this little fella showed up in my pool one day, so we decided to take them in, and we had to call them something, so I went with Ruffles, since they seemed to like it."
(In the distance, Luea is glaring at the Mariner from the side. It seems that them startling her girlfriend is clouding her judgement. Meanwhile, Ruffles cautiously approaches their pop. They don't fully recognize him, but his shape and voice are somewhat familiar to them)
Ruffles: *(walking up while shaking) (apprehensive babbles)*

Noah: So for starters, we should list all the mods by name.
Rex: Nope, just write 'To all moderators' on top.
Noah: I don't see how a little extra effort would hurt.

Danny: Was just kids' name man. Wasn't like anyone's gonna steal it.
Rex: I might. ...Joking, joking.
Danny: Yeah you got a decade and a half before you can steal that idea proper. But anyways... congrats on raising a family. Doubt some of your colleagues are that lucky.
Rex: Sheesh, that's supposed to make him feel better?
Danny: Okay, sorry. I hope they're all lucky but... you know how it is.

(Noted! Also, goodnight, dude!)
Noted, noted...
I was considering giving all of the former mods a little badge by their username? But then again, that'd probably come off as a cold comfort, wouldn't it?
"Thing?! My celadon pearl is not a "damn thing", ya- ya scallywags!"
"I- well, I'm happy that the little fella's safe and happy, but-"
(Upon hearing Ruffles' babbling, the Mariner turns their head.)
(Even after all this time, he still remembers what they sound like.)
"Flotsam and jetsam, it- it really is you! Voib, yer so big now... ya hadn't even grown your tailfin the last time I saw you! Com'ere, matey!"
(The Mariner stretches out their arms out for a hug, seemingly forgetting that they're still holding a spear in their left paw, making the gesture seem unintentionally threatening.)

Rex: Any way the badges can be... toggleable?
Danny: Is that possible?
Reigen: Sup, good evening.

Hey, I managed to implement a system that lets people get notified when other people sound like they're being injured! A toggleable badge is easy for me!

Danny: Aight, toggleable badge then, neat neat.
Reigen: So Tome texted me saying we don't have mods anymore?
Noah: Yup.
Reigen: ...Any reason for it? I don't see the harm having people keep others in line.
Danny: Higher ups don't like it. That's all you need to know to not stress Kris out.
Reigen: Right right right right right. ...Did we jot down the gratitude part? Y'know, thanking them for all the hard work?
Anne: I think we're just getting to that part.
Protection and power are overrated. I think you are very wise to choose happiness and love. Current avatar: Connie1 ran outside. It knew it wasn't supposed to, especially not without <> watching from afar. Or, was it really afar when...it was still inside...
But <> was working on 2. So it was free, even if it was just for a moment.
That's when it saw them.
A beautiful creature with teal wings and antlers...yet they were as tiny as it was.
None of the Pearls had any data about a creature like this.
...what...are you...?
Pearlcat formed from the Agility Sentry, the unfamiliar surroundings of a new universe fading into view.
She was crying.
They also were...larger than the Outsider remembered. Much larger. Still as frail as always, though it was covered by a crimson shawl.
She saw the Outsider and jumped back into what looked like a battle position, directly onto its bed.
WHERE AM I?! WHAT IS THIS PLACE?? WH—
Recognition flared in their eyes. This was the same slugcat they had met all those cycles ago.
....o-Outsider? Is...it truly....
She shook her head. Yes, this was....the reunion she had waited ages for, but that didn't matter right now. Pearlpup was dying back in the shelter without their mother.
...I apologize for my sudden entry, and...for the fact it took so long for said...entry. Outsider, I require your assistance. As quickly as possible. I beg of you.
Pearlcat bowed in plea, their entire body trembling.
i haveta eep but heres this—you will decipher the code behind pearlcat's text colors eventually

You know, boss. I suppose I should be really grateful about, well... everything you did back in August.
Yeah, I think I'm pretty aware of that.
Especially since it meant I lived long enough to say...
... What?
That Hollow Knight: Silksong will be out tomorrow!
Well, uh... I don't know a thing about that game, so... maybe that's good news!
Of course it is! Especially since this time, I won't be lying when I say that!
Now what?Wow… uh, I didn’t get good sleep. Thought this thread was a goner.
Is this a sign I’m obsessed

It had to do with Roe, I think. But for now, I think you should probably avoid mentioning it if you see him. Or mentioning it at all.
Now what?
...yeh, dunno what I expected, there. Don't worry, the "Roe's an Idiot" pile gets bigger by the day, it all blends together.
(Sorry for the late response, had internet issues, plus folder shenanigans had to be written.)
Yeah, that gratitude is the main thing I hope to convey... I just want them all to know that their efforts were worth something.
well, the doggy said they're getting rid of all the moderators~puri!!! idk really know what a moderator is but everybody seemed really sad about that~puri...
HUH?!?! what in the world happened~puri?!?! ꒰ა(óロò ᵕ )໒꒱(They knew they weren't like the other slugpups.)
(The other slugpups didn't have fluff all over, or eyes that were big and round and colorful. They didn't have antlers made of bug-stuff, and they didn't have these weird little buds on their back. They could get full from meat, and they couldn't eat those explosive red grasses.)
(They knew they came from some place far, far away, as did everybody else, and they were frequently reminded of this fact. Sometimes by the innocently insensitive remarks of their fellow slugpups about all their little idiosyncrasies... sometimes by the conversations they overheard from the adults about whether or not they should even bother keeping them around.)
(One cycle, the little winged slugpup decided that if the colony didn't want them around so bad, then they'd leave, in search of where they really did come from.)
(And it was on this cycle that they chose to run away that they met... another slugpup. Not one like them, but not one like the other slugpups, either; one with huge, pointy ears, and glowing white markings all over, and a purple pearl floating around them.)
(Their eyes glittered at the sight of the pearl.)
"So... pretty... who are you?"
(The Outsider looked a lot different now, the little, chitinous wingbud they used to have having long since bloomed into beautiful, iridescent wings, which flittered in a panic at the sight of its old friend sobbing their eyes out. Nonetheless, it was recognizably them.)
"P-Pearlcat?! I- I didn't realize you- why are you- I assure you that all of this makes sense in context-"
(They calm a little once Pearlcat recognizes them, but they're still noticeably on edge.)
"It... it is indeed the one and only. The Changeling Who Bears Iridescent Wings, the Outsider."
"I-I'll absolutely assist you, just please, tell me what in the world is troubling you!"

(Atop the white screen that served as her eyes, two black pupils flickered to life.)
"Where.... where am I?"
(The last thing she could remember was that incident during their last mission together, when she took a bad hit in her attempts to negotiate with the Noodles. It had knocked off all of her limbs- a deeply unpleasant experience, but not a big deal in of itself -and then got knocked off the island.)
(And now, she found herself in a room that was unlike anything she had ever seen before. Some parts of it were still smooth and shiny, like the various computers and devices beeping around her, but other parts were textures she was wholly familiar with; soft and fuzzy, hard and matte, strong and rocky... all of it made her little head spin.)
(And in front of her, the squishiest creature she had ever seen looked down at her with vacant gold eyes.)
"You're in my house. I found you in the street, all in pieces, so I decided to put you back together. I... didn't realize that you could talk."
(Scanning the scenery around her, it didn't seem like the girl was in anyway lying; a open toolbox was resting right beside, alongside what seemed to homemade blueprints for some kind of mechanical toy cat.)
(And based on the confused and somewhat overwhelmed look in the girl's eye, it didn't seem like she was lying about being surprised that the robot she found was sapient, either.)
"...oh, alright. So what kind of-"
(Her attempts to ask for clarification on the situation were interrupted by the sound of her wheels loudly whirring ineffectively, her attempt to spin her wheels interrupted by them getting caught on something fluffy.)
"Oh... I'm really sorry. I placed a fluffy mat beneath you, so my knees wouldn't get sore while I was repairing you. I'll take you off it now."
(Gently, the girl scooped up the robot, and placed her beside the mat.)
"There. You can move around now."
(Experimentally, she tried to scoot around... and, to her pleasant surprise, found that not only could she roll around, but her movements were as smooth as butter against the smooth tile. Excitedly, she made donuts on the floor.)
"...you seem to enjoy that a lot. It makes sense, given your wheels. So who are you, exactly?"
(...oh, right. This girl was probably about as confused as she was right now. She felt embarrassed for how long it took her to realize that...)
"Oh, right! I should introduce myself!"
"I'm Mouse! The youngest member of the Animal Mechanicals! It's nice to meet you, miss!"
...Yeh, no idea what that means. Can't be that important then.
Doesn’t matter now.

No kidding, little critter. I just hope today, things can get back to normal soon... especially since yesterday, everyone else seemed pretty excited.
Now what?
