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.

[1] Sorry, I take full responsibility for sharing that slavery rumor. That was completely unfounded and uncalled for, it won’t happen again.

Sorry for your loss.

Do you know what killed your master? Also, have you tried to ask city council to lock down the area around the library and have it investigated by special units?

Epsilon knows the city doesn’t work like this, but she pretends to be naive anyways


Update on my own end: pushed an update to the Github repo with the first commands for string handling. I’m getting closer to having a magic framework with every day!

[up] Salvador and Yuna were killed by what I could believe to be humans, they look and act like humans but the main caretaker of the Library, she looks so cold and robotic, I’m surprised that thing is still there, and the city dealing with it?

The city doesn’t do that, we do that, the library is in a low rank that the city doesn’t care, only fixers care about it, especially if money is involved, and to lock it down? I have big doubts, especially when it’s on top of what used to be a Corporation, L Corp, people are still living there though the nests of it have fallen.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/canine_cutie.jpg   If that place is bad as it sounds, I wouldn't want to take a whiff even if the scents would be welcoming to my non visible nose.   

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kiddie_chick.png   I still find that whole thing about getting locked in a book absurd, I wouldn't even trust other potentially hazardous places there.   

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hapihapitchi_fly.jpg   It probably would be best for Phillip to leave that place if it's causing trouble but I hope he can find a safer place around his realm. aroo.

I don't really get your concern about the city, it's better than the outskirts.

Especially, the Library doesn't look to be doing anything other than sending out invitations to battle it.

So question, were Salvador did Salvador and Luna turned into the book pages after they were killed, or was being turned into the book pages their actual death?

After they died in the library, I mean, as I watched the light in their eyes disappear they just started to be turned into those pages before disappearing.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kiddie_chick.png   Sorry we got a little over paranoid about that place, it's just I wouldn't want anymore awkward absurdities happen to you as well.   

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/canine_cutie.jpg   Due to a misconstrued of words, things may get taken to extremes here (you seen what happened when master was brought up).   

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hapihapitchi_fly.jpg   It does make me feel a little better about that area now but I still hope something can be done about that library from doing that again.

[1] Okay, slow down, please, you're throwing a lot of jargon at us.

  • You said corporation with a capital C. Do corporations have any further meaning beyond "legal representation of a group of people who organize themselves to make lots of money"?
  • What's L Corp? Surely that it's not its name; unless it wants to hide from the public and deliberately make looking it up difficult.
  • Speaking of looking stuff up, do you have search engines? Internet? You seem to have a library, but the library is hostile to its visitors, apparently. And the fact that it sends out invitations makes it sound like you can't just walk in.
  • What's a nest?
  • What's happening in the outskirts?
  • Did your city ever have a mayor or analogous authority? If so, what were they like, how strong was their influence and how did they shape the city?
  • What's the city called?

I'm back, now in Wedge Office, and I see I may have made things more confusing.

For corporations, it's nothing much, it's just they hold power over pieces of the city known as Districts.

Lobotomy Corporation was an energy company, but anything other than that I am unknown, for the past tense a big beam of light was blasted out of it before it went silent, most of everything from there is now gone and then soon enough the library appear on the ruins of L Corp.

I mean, I'm using it right now to talk to you guys, as for the library, you don't have to worry we have other more normal libraries, it's just that weird place called a library.

A nest is more or less the rich part of the city.

I don't know, all I know is a very long time ago something just happened to make the world out there into a wasteland.

The city is more or less in power by the wings, a group of conglomerates that act as the governing bodies of their respective Nests of the City's Districts.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kiraritchi_good.png Okay then, thanks for giving us the 411 about that place and it's not as nightmarish as some were stating. That book trap opened the mindset of fear here.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/70300444_423158678404548_3343479924357402607_n.jpg Well it is interesting to investigate on that kinda stuff, you dang well know that Kiraritchi as we did it before but guess we wouldn't need to do that for Phillip's place.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/powerpuff_girls_photo__buttercup.jpeg No one should go through what happened to Salvador and Yuna though and that's something to look into preventing from others sharing the same fate.

You can tell if currently active regulars in this forum are occupied with something like business, distractions or illness by seeing if they post infrequently compared to before.

And tomorrow I still got to cook food for my little sister, Haruka.

Hopefully your bedtime is still in the right time, Kanata. Well, she does really have to overwork and that explains why she looks sleepy on ocassions during the daytime...
