PHO Forums

[TheMonotonePuppet]

Hello, hello! I couldn't figure out whether this would be a writing prompt or community game, but with how unsuccessful my last community game was, I wouldn't want the thread's branding to not be on-point, so to speak.

For a fanfic of mine, I thought it would be fun to roleplay one of the online forums of the "worm" (a superhero dystopian fiction by Wildbow) world. We would each make up an Internet handle and write a response to a threadpost by the main character, whose online handle is M@steredT0y (Original Poster) (Writer) (Cape Groupie) (“Only” a Cape Geek) (Veteran Member).

Here is the made-up threadpost:

Spoiler: Goodbyes

It was nice knowing all of you. In case Mr. Slash takes me places without internet access or I am rendered braindead in some form, I want to warn you all there is a good chance I will be unable to frequent these writing forums and be around all of you awesome people. You've always provided a shoulder to cry on, fun games to play, and you've shared wonderful stories (and some really crass humor HAH!) and I will always appreciate that. My hope is that we, the Slaughterhouse 9, avoid your towns .
Crossing fingers!
May your life be full and unscarred, as well as it can be in this decaying world. Keep calm and keep writing on!?

As a bit of context for those who haven't read the beauty that is "worm", the main character has been unfortunately roped into being a member of the Slaughterhouse 9. The Slaughterhouse 9 is a group of serial killers with powers. The cast is constantly replaced, with very few lasting very long. The leader is Jack Slash, who is the main fixture of the group. Obviously some of the internet denizens wouldn't believe this post (it'd be funny if Sailus just said "bruh"), while others will be more concerned and empathetic.
I'm interested to seeing your guys' recreation of the cape geek version of Twitter/Facebook! (If you're confused, please put OOR: for Outside Of Roleplay for questions for clarification)

What about BO forums?

HAH! LOL! Yeah, you guys dodged a bullet. Thankfully, it doesn't seem like Mr. Slash wants to go on a world tour, so you guys should be safe over there. I hope... Though I was thinking if I convinced them to go to the Australian outback, I could get them to kill less people on average.

I think he would like Britain, everyone there are always ready to shank people on the streets, even the Capes are no exception.

But that's so close to the London Quarantine Zone! I want him as far away from Simurgh quarantine as possible. *shivers*
On the other hand, it could be fun! We could roleplay. Mr. Slash->Jack the Ripper, my new sister->Dr, Frankenstein, Crawler->Nessie, Siberian->Beowulf, Mannequin->Pinnochio, and I'll be a brownie or will-o-the-wisp. Honestly... I have no idea who Hatchetface or Chuckles would roleplay. The well's come up dry! *cries in embarrassment*

There is still Carmilla!

I think Bonesaw made a visit in her brain...

A... visit in my brain? What does that mean?

Hmmm... Shatterbird could definitely pull off Carmilla! If she wasn't a city killer, she'd definitely be a lesbian. I'd bet money on it! Her fashionableness and haughtiness certainly fit the 'noble' trope.

Definitely OOR: but still hilarious! Stands for Parahumans Online.

Nope - figured either that or some weird acronym. Or both.

At first, I thought of the soup, but then I realised what she meant and ...

I am having Spacebattles flashbacks.

I intended to refer to Tyler

Please stay out of Europe, the Blasphemies are already enough excitement as is it!

Though if you must absolutely cross the ocean, don't forget to pay a visit to Gesellschaft. it would be a shame not to tell them hi.

Huh? Who are the Gesellschaft?
OOR: I actually do know who the Gesellschaft are IRL, but the main character is not in the know.

 

[TroubleFait]

They're a bunch of people who woke up and thought, "the Nazis were cool actually, let's do it again!"

And nobody told them they were being stupid so now we're stuck with them...
You're lucky you don't have them in the States!

 

[beast_regards]

Gesellschaft exists in the universe of Worm.

I can't no longer unsee what I saw on Spacebattles...
