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? what- what in the world did you see?
"R-ROEKKO?!"
(Upon hearing Roe injure hirself, Kasumi can't help but skitter on over and...)
(CURE PUNCH)
(30+ HP!)
(While it's not likely to awaken him, it does help with the injuries.)
(Meanwhile, The Monk, who leapt out of Kasumi's bag at some point in the confusion, is visibly panicking at the situation they've found themself in.)
"I- what's happened to Mx. Chara-"
"Monk-san, that's- that's not Chara-chan! At the very least, not the one we know! O-oh God, it seems like they're charging up a big attack-"
(Realizing that Monk is unarmed, Shizuku hands her Cake Knife to them, the Icicle Rapier that she formed using it melting in an instant.)
"I- why are you handing me a-"
"So you can defend yourself! Now, on the count of three! One... two...!"
(BLIZZARD CLAW)
(HESITANT KNIFE SWING)
(It's up to Neon to decide if either Shizuku or Monk's attacks make contact, but either way, they don't manage to stop Retchara's Guilt Manipulation from being unleashed.)
"V-Void Below, I- I can't believe I-I just did that to- to a pup-"
"I- I feel horrible- b-but this guilt- isn't truly mine- you- GET OUT OF MY FRIEND'S BODY-"
(Growling, Shizuku charges forward with another-)
(BLIZZARD CLAW)

AITA for telling slanderous gossip and provoking the eagle and Nidhogg?
Routine: ".....it....bbbbb........."
Sparky: "so....there are a bunch of pretty looking butterflies outside of mx routine's window...the problem is.....mx routine's afraid of butterflies.....like really afraid.....probably because of what happened on their birthday...."
"The dream of tomorrow and the sky of today, expanding in unison"
Yeah, you two have gotta stay strong, we gotta... ACK!
Suddenly, Brandy collapsed in fear... and felt as if she could hear a rather terrible voice in her ears...
I warned you, kid. You shouldn't have put all that faith in anybody who was just gonna betray you anyway. Doesn't that make you feel... terrible? You don't need to feel that way.
Funny. Even though you know I'm gone, I can still make you scared of me. All you gotta do is listen to me. I can give you another chance.
(Come on, girl, you... you can't let him get to you again... what am I supposed to do?! *deep breath*...)
(FUCK OFF.)
Brandy was able to get back up again!
Heh... heh... sorry, everyone, I got a bit freaked out there!
As the guilt manipulation hits the area, orca looks at the gun and dagger
was I really about to stab and shoot a kid right now. What the hell is wrong with me
He suddenly shakes his head to snare out of it but some voices in him continue to talk
butterflies? kind of a weird thing to be scared of, but i guess i can't really judge.
anyway, if you want my advice, you could chase off the butterflies for your friend, sparky. or void, you could even eat them. i ate some moths that were chewing on clownfish's clothes once and they were pretty good.
(The Monk is still reeling from Chara's Guilt Manipulation , their Cake Knife having clattered to the floor.)''
"Monk-san, please, you- you have to snap out of it! That's not Chara-chan, they've been inhabited by something evil, and- and I think violence may be the only way to force it out!"
"GUYS, THE NOT-CHARA-CHAN IS STALLING OR SOMETHING! IF ANY TIME'S A GOOD TIME TO GET THEM, IT WOULD BE NOW! COME ON, GUYS!"
(CARAT PUNCH)
(With a nervous sigh, Shizuku grabs Monk's fallen Cake Knife off the floor and nods, charging towards Chara? as she channels it into a-)
(ICICLE RAPIER)
(Meanwhile, the Monk stares somewhat vacantly at the scene that is unfolding... and digs their toes into the carpet.)
"...Popplant..."
(There is the distinctive sound of Offscreen Teleportation, and-)
"GUROWOWOWOWOW-"
(-the ever-familiar fluorescent pink face of Popplant manifests behind Chara? , bounding towards them and biting down on their arm with a-)
( MIGHTY CRUNCH)
Sorry, Chara... but I'm drawing those monsters out of you, one way or another!
MONSTER MASH
A horde of small, shadowy creatures manifest around Brandy's feet and were about to charge towards Chara... before Brandy realized the fight had stopped.
Oh, uh... sorry, everyone. Time out. Guh... I hope she's okay.
i wanna go home :(
Sparky: "ok, the butterflies are gone, and mx routine is calmer now....how is everybuddy?"
(Over at Sapphie's house, Ruby, Larimar, and Carnelia are helping assemble a machine in Sapphie's house)
Sapphie: "Thanks for helping me out with the building"
Carnelia: "Yeah, thome labor would probably help me shake off thith potht-thelebration thlump."
(As they're working, Larimar suddenly stops dead in her tracks, and drops to her knees, clutching her head and breathing heavily, almost as if she got hit with Chara's guilt wave)
Carnelia: "....Mari-chan?......"
(Thoughts were rushing through Larimar's head. Thoughts she didn't want to remember. Thoughts that made her feel awful)
"Do you honestly think that a whelk like you has any place in this world? You are a disgrace to society, a disgrace to your lineage, and you should be ashamed for defiling the path the gods set for you. When I'm done, there will be no one left for you to run to. Maybe then you'll give your old man what he wants."
"It's blatantly clear that you are not functioning at the same level as the other students. You're sticking out like a nail, and you know what they say about nails that stick out. I don't know what is making you act like this, but there is something fundamentally wrong with you, and if it doesn't stop, we can't have you here."
"Yeth, it'th true....I have drained people...many timeth in fact.....it'th not like I can thtop....it'th who I am....."
Larimar: ....................................mmmrrmmmmghh......."
(Larimar, overwhelmed, runs off)
[1]
....I...didn't get to use mine either, ahaha.....wh-what was that? What happened to Chara…? They...
....they did something to me....
"Every time I look, they all seem to multiply / The scΛrƨ that run my mind"
I... I can imagine. After all, for a second, I...
I thought I could hear Dad's voice...

Now what?The Sparky (about the butterflies)
well, i get that; that's why i suggested just chasing them away. butterflies aren't particularly smart, they won't mind being chased away for long at all.
The Sparky (about the butterflies being chased off)
good job!
(While none of them can see MONSTER MASH in much detail, Kasumi, Shizuku, and oddly enough, The Monk seem to sorta notice... something.)
"Huh? What's Miss Brandy?"
(But just as quickly, the creatures vanish. The Monk rubs their eyes, indecorously.)
"...doing?"
(Meanwhile, Kasumi is more occupied with Roe waking up.)
"OH MY GOSH ROEKKO! ROEKKO I'M GLAD YOU MANAGED TO WAKE UP SO QUICK-"
"Is... is Chara-chan alright?"
(Concerned, Shizuku prods the unconscious Chara for a pulse... and sighs in relief then she feels one.)
"...oh, thank goodness. I guess I'll just... leave the gifts we all got for them here. And... maybe call the hospital, while I'm at it."
Shizuku left three gifts on Chara's desk for when they wake back up.
Ornate Blade - Shizuku Osaka's gift. An ornate kitchen knife with a glossy black blade adorned with painted engravings of red hearts and green flowers.
Heartful Determination❤︎Bread Roll - Made with love and care by Kasumi Nakasu The bun is covered in a layer of hard chocolate shell, with the inside filled with chocolate flavored frosting and heart-shaped chunks of ruby chocolate
.
Potted Amaryllis - Lovingly arranged by The Monk. An assortment of bright red, sunny yellow, and snowy white amaryllis flowers, symbols of determination and inner strength, rest inside a cat-shaped, porcelain pot.
(Meanwhile, as Subway expresses his desire to go home, The Monk can't help but sigh as well.)
"...I want to go home, too."
[1]
(Nods solemnly... the horrors 😔)
Sparky: "oh, sparky didn't do anything, they just left. right now, mx routine is eating grapes. i dont know why they like them, they arent very good to sparky."
So, Brandy shouldn't've been able to know what happened in the folder, but we could probably chalk it up to a gut feeling
"The dream of tomorrow and the sky of today, expanding in unison"

....and I heard the voices of everyone who's died because of the Forum.
I-I'm fine, don't worry Kasumin~ Just have to...store all that energy back inside me...haaah, I thought I'd finally be able to get it out....
...hm? Now that Chara's...unconscious, I should be able to teleport all of you out~!
Carnelia: “Well, I wath with Mari-chan helping a friend of herth, but…..she thtarted getting all panicky out of nowhere and ran off……I don’t know what happened, and thothe friendth won’t let me help, becauthe they think I’ll make thingth worthe…..”
"The dream of tomorrow and the sky of today, expanding in unison"

*Chara? used GUILT MANIPULATION just makes everyone feel really guilty
WISP CHARA
Harmonized.
WHAT?
