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.

You'd actually be surprised how many crimes someone can commit in the span of a day, really...
(turning to xi yi..)
...You...must know Shioriko from Setsunas descriptions of her.
you're welcome!!!
WAIT WAOUGH YOU'RE MARI??? omori mentions you alot but i've never gotten a chance to meet you!!!! :O
miss larimar is definitely the more active of you two, huh??? regardless, it's nice to get a chance to know you better!!!
(Setsuna, Ugiri, and Xi Yi all watch in silence as Higuruma reads out Shioriko's crimes. Xi Yi grits her fangs, Ugiri simply watches with an unreadable expression, and Setsuna... just sighs, her ears flattened.)
"Shioriko-chan..."
(She's certainly not mad, but she'll admit that she's a bit disappointed.)
"I agree that it's for the best her powers are limited. In part due to what she tried to do with them, and... how she nearly got herself killed with them."
"Is Shioriko-chan... doing any better?"
"Much better, yes. She has some scars, but she is no longer at risk of dying."
"You're almost the same in that way, now."
"I can't tell if she's any closer to waking up, though..."
tell me test subject 9,786. Why hasn’t my portal been finished yet? And why aren’t the doors and halls remodeled yet?
i-i don’t know sir. We’ve b-been too busy tracking orca and fixing the test chamber that we don’t have much time fo-
Tartar grips the head of the Octoling. A muffled snap and squelch is heard. He drops the Octoling and kicks her away. Her limp body drains away at the end of a hallway.
your all useless to me. All of you. I recommend you people work faster and harder if you want don’t want to end up like our dear friend 9,786
Tartar continues his walk around the metro. He then stops in his tracks when he sees a medical room. The bed of the room is doused in a blackish red spattered all over it. The room is familiar to him. Then the memory hits
why did you make me do this?
we had to. She needed to be fixed. There’s no one else with her blood type
WE COULD HAVE FOUND SOMEONE ELSE! SHE DIDNT NEED TO DIE. You didn’t have to make me do th-
I wish you goodnight orca
Now back to the present, tartar feels a sense of dread. He looks at the tools and machines around the area. Exactly the same sense that day. He finally found someone who understood him and his struggles and he forced him to kill someone he saw as a daughter.
Tartar felt weak but he knew there’s no way back. He knows that no matter what the consequences are and who is in the way, he will bring his “best friend” back wether he likes it or not

Acabo que no hacen una canción de romance de freefire
.....fair point, Higuruma-sensei. Haaah....
Roe sighs a huge breath of relief once xe learns that Shioriko isn't going to die...but is confused at something else Xi Yi says.
...wait, what do you mean she's "the same as Setsuna-chan"?
Shioriko starts to stir as a black and purple energy starts to grow up Roe's ankles, just as when xe broke free from Ikebana Manipulation's flower arrangement...seems the battle is over, so he no longer needs hir power boost.

"Every time I look, they all seem to multiply / The scΛrƨ that run my mind"(without any more words, the plume revealed itself - flying off of roes suit and into whatever nothing awaited it.)
...Well, as an addmendum, maybe she should rest up for a couple of days until she's fully recovered.
Guess we can close this case.
(higuruma calmly bangs his gavel on the stand - the domain dissipating in response and bringing everyone back to the field.)
(shioriko might not be able to cast anything for awhile...)
Floragato: “{Yeah, that’s pretty accurate. I wouldn’t say I’m not emotional, but I’m like, stoic in comparison to Lari. Not that it’s anything bad, I’m just saying it’s something that sets us apart. But we do still have stuff in common, like liking to watch the sunset, our similar taste in music, being unable to return to where we grew up, I feel like we work really well together.}”
"The dream of tomorrow and the sky of today, expanding in unison"
i see... i think it's normal to fall for those who are very similar to you in some ways, yet very different on others!!!
truthfully, i don't really fall head over heels for people in the romantic way very often, but... the two times i did, it was with a boy with a prickly exterior and a soft heart and a cheerful entertainer who was a lot better with jokes than me... so, they were both very different to me, but they were also very similar!!
"..."
(Setsuna shifts to the side, nervously, Setsuna may have overcome her inability to accept what happened to her, but... after such a traumatic sequence of events, she's not exactly in the mood to discuss such a horrific things.)
(Noticing Setsuna's discomfort, Xi Yi sighs.)
"I... failed to realize that you weren't already up to date on this. We can discuss this in a moment, okay? I don't think Setsuna wants to discuss it right now, and we have other matters to attend to."
(Then Shioriko shifts.)
"...Shioko-san?"
"SHIORIKO!"
(Setsuna can't help but bolt from her seat as she sees Shioriko stir... and by the time that the court that surrounded them as fully unraveled, Setsuna is once more standing by Shioriko's side.)
As the courtroom dissipated back into the field, Roe became completely covered in the black and purple energy...and when it cleared, xe was back in hir (a bit torn) school uniform like nothing had happened.
E-eh? What the—w-wait, WHERE'D MY SCYTHE GO—
...wait. Roe had never brought his scythe in the first place. How....
...wh-what exactly did Agreste-sensei do to me.....?
He's distracted by how distraught Setsuna seemed and Xi Yi's words.
....oh, all...all right. A-apologies for asking, aha~
Xe's distracted yet again by Shioriko waking up.
Her eyes fluttered open, a calm red...contrasting the dark crimson it was before. She still seemed a bit...blank.
.........wh-what......? Wh-where...what..........m-my head....hurts.....
Floragato: "{Of course mentioning that I'm awake starts making me tired, so I'm laying down. Good night.}"
(As Chalce and Larimar create the potions, Larimar makes a call to a friend. About 30 minutes later, a deer in a wheelchair rolls up to them)
Larimar: "Zuni-san! You showed up! It's been so long since we've met up in person, how have you been?"
Zuni: "I-I'd say I'm d-doing alright. I hope y-you're doing b-better than the last t-time I saw you..."
(She gestures to a small box, containing a few potions, most of which are cyan, with one that's sea green)
Zuni: "I-I don't know if I should....I-I caused you a lot of problems with it... when my impurity made it activate when we didn't want it too.....i dont think i can......"
(He holds a jar up to his face, which now refracts the glowing blue from his eyes)
THE MOTIVATING POWER OF CHALCEDONY IS HERE TO BE COLLECTED!!! JEWEL FLASH!!!!
(A blue mist swirls around Zuni. Now properly motivated, she prepares her magic, with her eyes glowing deep purple and her antlers glowing orange)
THE POWER OF KUNZITE AMPLIFIES WITHIN YOUR SOUL!!! JEWEL FLASH!!!!
(A purple mist swirls around the vials. After which, Larimar grabs the box)
Larimar: "Thanks for all the help, Chalce-kun and Zuni-san! I hope to see you again soon!"
Zuni: "Hope to see you soon as well, Larimar-san.."
(As she starts walking back, she texts Carnelia, asking to see her. Carnelia soon flies in)
Carnelia: "What ith it, Mari-chan? Have you forgiven me? Can we be friendth again?"
Larimar: "....I honestly don't know, but what I do know is I need your help with something. Do you have access to dark magic?"
Carnelia: "I'm a vampire, obviouthly of courthe, I have accthethth to dark magic, what do you need it for?"
Larimar: (pulling out the sea green potion) "I kinda need you to curse this potion to reverse it's effect. I'd rather not say why...."
Carnelia: "Hmmm, thoundth weird, but ok!"
(Carnelia's eyes start glowing an intense red, with black cracks)
THOMBRATH INVERTATH!!!!
(The potion shakes, before turning a darker color. Carnelia nods before flying off)

Hope everyone's doing alright at the moment. I just had one of the most wild days of my life.
SHE'S DEFROSTING
goodnight, miss floragato!!! sweet dreams and safe restings!!!
"...it's alright. I know you meant no harm by it."
(Meanwhile, Setsuna sits down, beside Shioriko. She shifts back to normal, the sound more of a soft (pop) then the mighty (KABOOM) typical of Setsuna's transformations.)
(She gently squeezes her hand, in an attempt to be comforting.)
"It's okay, Shioriko-chan. I'm here for you. We're all here for you."
(Not wishing to startle Shioriko with her presence, Ugiri decides to cling close to Roe, in order to give hir some much needed comfort.)
"Are you alright, Roekko-chan?"
[1]
(Goodnight, Oaim!
I really liked the aside with Kunzite and Chalce!)

Well...you'd be happy to hear that we've managed to fully neutralize the threat Shioriko posed after you left.

Shioriko was too weak to lift up her other hand, but she softly smiled at Setsuna.
........Setsu......na....sen...pai......I-I'm....s-so sorry.....
....wh-what did.....I do......? What....have I done....
Roe looked up as Ugiri approached hir.
......there's...a weird gray butterfly in the sky....
..........wait..... <—FUCKING TOOK YOU LONG ENOUGH
Keep her safe, mister. I have a feeling my best friend is gonna wanna speak with her soon. And... I might have to come along too, to... not let her get upset or angry.
Well... I think she might be doing better now. But... I just got back from a big fight, that's why.
SHE'S DEFROSTINGThere- there was?
(higu took notice of the plume before it dissipated..)
...Huh. Guess Gabe wanted to juice you up a bit.
He usually doesn't do that anymore unless, y'know, it's nessacary.

Rex: Oh shucks, sorry man. Um, you need any healing? I think there's guys here that can do that for you.
Steven: Sure I guess?
Dani: Alriiiiight! Now that Ember is on my team...
Tome: So with that, how many of us have got at least one shiny?
Anne: Let's see... Rex, Mar-Mar, Steven-
Steven: Not the one I'm searching for, would that still count?
Tome: It counts, it counts. Rex is on there and apparently he hasn't found his Shiny Onix yet.
Anne: Dani, wait would Danny count?
Mob: The only ones that haven't found one yet would be me, Tome-san and Anne-san. Though technically, Mar-Mar-san and Rex-san would be in there too since they're not finding the ones they want.
Tome: Aight, aight. It's okay, I'm feeling particularly lucky today.
Dani: Oh so you're copying me now too huh?
Marcy: Hmm.
Oh, I wasn't the one in danger back there. In fact, I... just had to heal someone else, because... I can do that now.
SHE'S DEFROSTING
oh... i'm sorry to hear that, mister g...
w-wait... m-miss shioriko?!?!
s-so... so she really was...
"Shioriko-chan..."
(Setsuna smiles a Tearful Smile.)
"I-I'm... I'm not going to mince words. You... did some horrible things, Shioriko-chan. But... you're still my friend, okay? A-and I still care about you, even after this, and I'll be by your side a-as you fix this. Right now, I-I'm- we're all just happy that you're alive."
"...I-I still love you, Shioriko-chan."
"A weird... gray butterfly?"
(Ugiri looks up towards it, noticing how oddly... fleshy it looks.)
"Did one of its eyespots just... blink at Us?"
"...hm?"
She's okay now.
We...stopped her from going haywire.
Nowadays he just uses it incase theres a pinch people need to get out of.
...Kid,
(turning to shioriko sfx)
I want to let you know that, your technique almost almost broke you. You tried to unlawfully arrest a reformed criminal, comitted two accounts of assault on me and hir, and...
...I had to confiscate your Innate Technique for now.
You can't try and make something normal again - you'll just make everyone frightened of you, and...people'll see you as no better as the things you oppose. Lanzhu had to block you because of it, and...I had to fight you to stop it before it went too out of hand.

Steven: You can?! That's a great skill to learn!
Rex: Yeah Steven. Yes it is. Well if you said that you're not hurt as much...
Hunk: Guessing I missed the big battle huh.
Steven: Yep.
Protection and power are overrated. I think you are very wise to choose happiness and love. Current avatar: Connie
Hmm...
@ScarletStorm Hey, Setsuna. I had, been thinking about Brandy a bit over the past few days, and, well... you're probably a bit exhausted from that fight, but I thought now would be a good time to chat.
SHE'S DEFROSTING(Just going to say I'm probably going to stop responding to the Inert Emotion stuff, at least until Tari gets back, since there's not much for my characters to do now.)
o-oh, i'm glad to hear that, then...
...huh? A ping?
What is it, G-san?
AITA for telling slanderous gossip and provoking the eagle and Nidhogg?

back
Roe found hirself in the jury with Ugiri and Setsuna.
His jaw drops while Higuruma's listing off all of Shioriko's crimes.
ALL THAT JUST FOR ONE DAY??? H-holy—er...that sounds good to me, limiting her powers for a few days so she has a chance to cool off and...rethink.....me...
Meanwhile, Shioriko's wounds healed almost completely, although a few scars remain. She whines a bit in her sleep, but she remains unconscious as Xi Yi cares for her.
