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.

Peridot: “Hey everyone, I’ve got some bad news….Something happened to Ruby, and…..long story short, we think she’s developed amnesia.”
(Luea turns to Honey)
Luea: ".....what do you mean this has never happened before……......."
Ruffles: *(pulling on whiskers) (distressed groaning)*
(While even the optimistic Peridot is starting to worry, she remains composed)
Peridot: “Let’s remain calm, everyone. I can tell that you’re worried. I am too, but we can find away around this. I’ll stay here and keep an eye on the cub” (she glances over at Labra and Cotton, both playing together, blissfully unaware of what’s happening) “Luea, you take Ruby and the squishies back to Jewel Land and see if someone can help”
(Luea sighs and grabs Ruby’s paw and gestures for the slugcats to follow her as they make their way back)
Ruby: “Oh, I guess we’re going somewhere now, um ok I guess? Hope it’s fun!”
(After they leave)
Peridot: “I should probably let the forum know what’s going on…”

Never show that to Vi. I probably also inspired parts of that... wait that's about the whole forum I just realized that-

...What kind of sitcom plot is that? I mean, yeah that's really bad but still-
Oh, I gotta sleep. Kinda expected more stuff to happen, but I'm not complaining.

... Huh. That was... pretty impressive, dude! Can't say which one of your songs I like more, though...
Well, I think it's great he did it all himself! But, yeah, that was pretty good, dude! You should definitely let the other Idol Club people hear it when they have the chance!
Now what?Pearlcat nods happily as Outsider gives her the phone.
Hmhhmh mmh...!
...of course, they're muffled because of the phone.
She sets down the soup and embraces the Outsider, tears still streaming down her cheeks.
Then, before it could really react—they pick the soup back up and disappear in a flash of blue light.
MEANWHILE: IN OUTER EXPANSE
adam their dead :((((((
18 was holding a deceased slugpup with a red scarf, crying from his Indigo eye.
yes, this is sad. they could have grown up to be an interesting character.
18 pouted, though Adam was trying to be empathetic.
w-we should prolly bury them...back at the shelter...whats good to know at least is their not DEAD dead just in another branch now! still sad tho :( wheres their mom?
it's getting dark. we should return to the shelter instead of look for a slugcat who may not even exist.
WE ARE FINDING THE SKUG >:(
Adam saw something out of the corner of his eye. A glowing blue orb.
...18? what is that?
wh—w-wait. im feeling EMOTION from that thing—
The Agility Sentry reformed into Pearlcat.
The only thing she saw was the two unknown Iterator-shaped figures that she had warned Pearlpup to be wary of....holding Pearlpup's corpse.
They saw red, spitting the phone out onto the ground of the shelter and gently setting the soup down.
WHAT. DID. YOU. DO. TO. MY. PUP?!
...18, i believe we found the mother.
shes really angy D:
Pearlcat charged, jumping at 18's face, primed to tear it off and use her Vitality Pearl on Pearlpup before it was too late.
18—RUN, YOU IDIOT—
18 gently set Pearlpup's body down and took Pearlcat into a hug...as they still tried to bite and tear into his arms. Sanitizer bled from them.
its ok. your ok. im so sorry, lil skug. we didnt kill them, i promise. we just found them like this. im so so sorry.
His words—spoken in a soft and gentle tone—calmed Pearlcat down just enough to realize that 18 had set her pup down.
....rrrrrrrrrr....
She activated two red Power Pearls, which aimed at 18 and Adam and shot them both, flinging them back through the pipe that served as an entrance to the shelter. She then switched to a gold Protection Pearl—sending it out as a Sentry, blocking the pipe. They then ran to their dead pup, their eyes cartoonish Xs.
i'm so sorry sweetheart i promised that i would come back before this happened i'm so stupid i'm so sorry i'm terrible i—
She used a Vitality Pearl's charge. Their eyes returned to normal and Pearlcat could feel their heartbeat again.
....P-Pearlpup....?
They smiled.
Even though she had broken her promise, they smiled.
...mommy...y-you came back....!
.....
This wasn't the time for tears. The soup that the Outsider gave her....their last tiny shred of hope....she picked it up and handed it to Pearlpup.
....th-the old friend I was visiting found a way to fix you. Just drink this, and it'll be okay. Everything will be okay. I promise.
...not like Pearlcat's promises meant anything anymore...
Pearlpup hesitantly took a tiny sip of the soup.

...I should be asking you that question. You are not the Outsider.

I may not be THE outsider but I am treated like one. I am the Omniscient Recording Computer of Alterna. But please, call me Orca. And you are?

Natalie: I mean I pretty much live outside nowadays.
Noah: Oh hey another Slugcat.
Natalie: Man I still have no idea how you fuse slugs and cats together. I can see fusing slimes and cats but not that one.

Glad you liked it.

"Every time I look, they all seem to multiply / The scΛrƨ that run my mind"(While before Honey seemed bombastic and confident, now she seems to be genuinely panicking.)
"I- it's never caused anyone to lose their memories, I didn't realize that- that this could happen!"
(Meanwhile, the Mariner is trying his best to soothe Ruffles nerves.)
"It's... it's okay, pearly. Papa's here for you."
"...that's sounds like a good plan, lassie. Lead the way, treasure tracker."
(And so, the group head off to Ruby's house...)

...your pup has been cured of the ailment they suffered from?
Well, I guess that is technically correct, but that is not how I got my name! You see, small child with hair the color of bismuth, I got my name from the faraway place of my origins!
Boring? Tut-tut! It is never a boring day if I, the Outsider, have anything to say about it!
Elijah-kun, this... this is spectacular! I can definitely feel your emotional state at the time when you wrote this...
...nice to meet you.
...you two look strange. what's with the... hunk of cloth, and what's with the metal... doodads?
...everyone who was specifically promoted to moderator status for the sake of this forum thread have been demoted, yes. I'm... I'm sorry.

S-so Fr-Frau Ruby... you mean she's...?!

Finally typed it up! That took longer than I wanted it to.

[Verse 1]
You say “Stop acting so selfish
you’re not the main act”
How am I supposed to play my part
You’re always on the attack
You pretend to care about me
Then strike while my back is turned
A sense of fear, of paranoia
In my brain it churns
[Pre-Chorus]
You’re so intent on judging me
You never stop to sympathise
You see nothing but my mistakes
You see me as someone to despise
[Chorus]
How many times must I stress
I’m not perfect, no one is
Please forgive me for making a mess
I wish we could be friends
How many times must I ask
For an ounce of respect
Please just treat me a little nicer
I’m willing to make amends
[Verse 2]
What did I do to become
The one you all pick on?
Being bullied once again
My efforts are undone
You paint me in a bad light
My reputation burns
You may have mastered all your cues
But I have yet to learn
[Pre-Chorus]
I sometimes trip over myself
I sometimes flub my lines
I rarely see a hand reach out
To give me another try
[Chorus]
How many times must I stress
I’m not perfect, no one is
Please forgive me for making a mess
I wish we could be friends
How many times must I ask
For an ounce of respect
Please just treat me a little nicer
I’m willing to make amends
I wish I could’ve said this less
I’m not perfect, no one is
Try to forgive me for making a mess
I’ll try to be a friend
I’m done with asking countless times
For an ounce of respect
If you’ll just treat me a little nicer…
[End]
