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.

WAOGHHHHHHH!!!!! does this mean i'll see bird as a not-bird??? :O

(Also, WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO PEARLCAT LOOOOOOOOOOOOORE-)
"I... I see."
"I... I know you're out of the loop all the things I have been up to, but... Scholar Who Weaves Pearlescent Spells, this... this doesn't have to be goodbye."
(The Outsider rushes away, digging through a nearby drawer, huffing and puffing as they frantically search... until they finally pull something out.)
(Some sort of... rectangular, metallic tablet with a screen on the top and a button on the bottom?)
"This electric mirror may look innocuous, but it is a work of the magic of sophontkind! Capable of allowing you to contact anybody regardless of your current location, or their current location!"
"...capable of connecting anyone, regardless of where they are."
(The Outsider attempts to press the phone into Pearlcat's arms... but holding a bowl of soup requires two paws, so the Outsider resorts to sticking it in her mouth.)
"Pl-please, Pearlcat. Hurry back to your little one. I swear that on my honor as the Changeling That Bears Iridescent Wings that, as long as you have this, we can stay connected."
(Apologies if this feels lower effort then your post, by the way! I admittedly feel a bit spent after writing that big folder for Oaim, plus I haven't had much time to Cook more details of Outsider's backstory, so elaboration on Outsider Lore™ will have to wait for when I feel ready.)
AITA for telling slanderous gossip and provoking the eagle and Nidhogg?
Hey, boss.
What's up?
So... I've actually been getting in touch with one of my old school friends, and... I think we may see her posting here soon!
...
You sound surprised by this info.
Well, I guess I am. After all, I barely hear anything about your school friends. You'll... ensure I'm making a good first impression, won't you?
I'll try~!
Now what?

I'm curious about that myself. I felt the curse break sure enough, but it still feels as if the traitors are tied to me, somehow...
You'll call them that still? Ah. Well. Maybe not. I went out to see them where they waited outside the castle ruins.
Hmph. Too cowardly to face up to their crime.
I wonder why... The curse broke. They were human, just as you remember them. But then they changed back! And then back to human. It seems...maybe because they were cursed so long...they can be human or toy, at their choice.
That's...unexpected.
NOW THEY STILL SMELL NICE FOR MAUS
You need blood and he's got more than enough!
WAIT WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA?!?!?!
so he's both a birdy and a NOT birdy??? that's SOOOOOOO COOL!!!! :O
(EVERYBODY WINS!!!!!!!!)
Oh, really? I hope your reunion goes well, then, Brandy-sensei!
(the crackwalker was off on a walk throughout the neuron forest
. usually, only a certain slugcat would be able to access this realm, but...the crackwalker has that name for a reason - as they could teleport their sword back to their side, they could tear open cracks in reality and jump through them at their leisure.)
(it felt. nice here. calming, soothing...a welcome break from the greenery, and a thankfully simple way to return to it all.)
(feeling a bit more explorative (prolly cause their alone for once), the crackwalker envisions another crack...and walks through.)
(...brighter than usual, the crackwalker thought. but the pseudo-suburban scenery didn't get old for them.)
(taking in the scenery, the crackwalker closed their eyes for once...)
(...and in opening them, heard the KRRKCH of a neck being torn apart - blood seeping from a nearby alley.)
(maybe that'd be worth a check.)
hey im trying my first solo arc !

Hehe, that it is, Maus-chan! Very cool!
....Hmph. How lucky for them that their theft and betrayal worked out so well for them in the end.
-sigh- It's been long enough, surely. It's over. Let it go.......or you may upset wee Maus-chan.
.....hmph. What business is it of mine what they do with their wretched lives.

You need blood and he's got more than enough!
Hmph, sounds like a phrase I'd say.
Hello there, how's it going today?
yeah!!!! no being gumpy >:(

Long. My stolen Book has at long last been returned to me. Those responsible for its loss have had their curses lifted. The four traitors I turned to toys had to sense to leave as soon as they were able. Why McTaggart hasn't done the same is beyond me, but here he remains.
sigh- You could ask me, you know.

......Mmph. They have returned my property ro me. Their debt to me is repaid. I have no intention of harming them further. Do not be afraid.

] Cool, that's a good side of the tracks.
But what's the reason you say by him Will?
I'm sure it's not by his own will (sorry).

Tome: Why you use that word man
Hunk: ...Okaaaay times two. I'm... still worried tho.
Noah: Look trust me, they're all nice people.
Rex: Mhm. Think like a 'group of friends' kind of gang. Not the 'mafia' kind of gang.
Noah: Technically it's not a mafia since yours are in China.
Tome: That's Japanese.

No need. What is there to ask? He's not bound to me anymore. What the man does with his life now is out of my control.
-sigh- Are you really going to act a child now? Sorry, little rabbits. It's...hard to explain. I don'twant to go back to how it was before, not at all. But that doesn'tmean I want to leave.
2
Must I repeat myself? The Book was returned. The curses are broken. The cursed are free of me. Despite that, this one remains. Hasn't the sense to run away, it seems.
Maybe I don't want to!

Noah: Could've used the heads up you know? ...And have you considered that Will don't want to leave because he really doesn't want to? I don't see the harm in companies.

Btw, the Chinese term you're looking for is Triad (like ROTT*).

Would you just listen to me, you stubborn old fool!?

I...I don't hate it here. Honestly, I don't. Do I hate how it came about? Aye. Do I hate being ordered to do things I find cruel? Aye. Do I hate it when the man I've spent 1100 looking after acts like a stubborn child who never listens? Heh, absolutely. But do I hate the man himself? Seeing history unfold around me? Or learning magic? ...no. I don't hate that.
