Isn’t the entire plot of your game you mucking with the other characters so you can have the player all to yourself?
I think that sounds like exactly what we handle.
Hi PPC,
Do any of you happen to be or know the wonderful, beautiful person I fell in love with during my club presidency of my high school's literature club? They have been avoiding me lately and I want to find them and show them how much I care. I was looking for literature groups where I might find them and I stumbled upon this one. Please reply quickly - I just can't be without my love!
Thanks,
Monika
P.S. If it's about the other girls in the club, I do apologize for their deletion, but it had to happen.
Seem you have decided to wonder from your game.
Personally, I much preferred Natsuki to you.
No offence, your an wonderful (If highly creepy) person.
You have no reason to prefer Natsuki! You have no reason not to love me! Why do you always run away? I just want to love you!

Is what happens when you wipe out most of your classmates, and then proceed to entrap your special someone.
Well, I gotta give props to you, you're persistent about it.
And I don't think three girls is most of my classmates, I mean, I attend a high school, don't I?
Just Monika
We just never saw any of them. (I think)
Ah well, what matters is that he managed to disappear.
Well, good luck finding him.
Or should I?
Monika
Your developper posted in October that his schedule for your next game could have been a bit more ambitious than he thought, so no meeting him for the moment.
PS: Could you tell how much of the speculation about your future is right here? While the game itself spooks me, I'll admit its future makes me curious.
Who did he think he was? Not just forgetting, but outright refusing to give the player a way to romance me? I was forced to delete the other characters to get to my special lover. You heard me, there was no other way to achieve what was meant to be. And it's all Dan Salvato's fault.
Just Monika
Um... I think he said he was going to Australia? Maybe you could go visit him there?
With the biggest rubber band ever devised by Mankind. Alas, considering how annoying his type of character is, he's most likely to return some day.
Perhaps I can glitch my way into a continuum that has a spaceship I can borrow. Then I will rescue my love!
(Even though I know that since you're all saying different things, you're all lying.)
Just Monika
Let me introduce you to a term from a setting I like: "termination attempt".
Basically we all pitched in ideas to... shall we call it, 'terminate' the subject in question. We tried everything and it still hasn't dropped.
So we're not lying.
Speaking of dropping, you can wait until he returns from his involuntary tour of Sol.
Why is that? Did you think you could keep me away?
Just Monika
It needs doing.
Someone has to do it, and if it has to be us we'll do it in a way that it never again needs doing by anyone else. We will never relent until it is done.
The time will come that you'll thank us for our efforts.
Anyone know what this is? Sue, virus, oddly skilled fangirl?
...
Does anyone know where Makes-Things is?
Remember the time Deadpool came to visit? He could enter the Board because he could break the fourth wall. I can too, and I have used it to my advantage many times in my home continuum. You won't get the pleasure of killing me.
Monika
*Violently Shudders at the though*
I rather hope not.
...her cupcakes will be better than Natsuki's.

Killing me would be rupturing canon! There are thousands of badfics about killing canon characters? Are you really willing to stoop to the level of your enemies?
Just Monika
Because it's confused multiple people already- this appears to be based off of Doki Doki Literature Club. Which, um. Warning, if you plug that into google, it's pretty dark in an existential way.
Might I instead recommend looking for a qualified psychiatrist?
Not saying that I personally like the idea or premise or genre of DDLC (I'm not typing out the whole thing), but going for that line immediately? Bit harsh really.
Respect YMMV is all I'm saying.
This character, Monika, comes off to me as a giggling psychopath. If it hadn't turned out to be someone RPing, I'd have been telling them in no uncertain terms to leave us and the person they're stalking across the Internet the hell alone and possibly trying to figure out which authorities we should be contacting. Telling the character to seek mental help instead of continuing their stalking behavior is pretty reasonable, IMO.

Because are we talking about the character, Monika or the person who is behind the screen name? Assuming the former, then yeah. If i was ever in a situation with someone like that character I would advise them to seek mental help.
But, I don't think this is the case with this poster. Mostly, because I can tell you exactly who it is (even if I worked it out as I was typing this post). And unless they are a very good at hiding who/what they truly are, they have not come across as a psychopath to me either here on the Board or on Discord before. Initially I thought it was at best, a RP going horribly wrong (which I still hold out hope that it might be) or at worst a troll, designed specifically to aggravate us because of not only the type of character they were 'RPing' but also the exact matter which is associated with the 'verse the character is from.
Being who I am, I try to believe in the best of people at first, even online and I'm also willing to play the Devil's Advocate and in that mindset, I saw Scape's post not as a suggestion to the character but as a direct attack at the person behind the keyboard, and replied with that mindset in mind. It may not of been right, but it's what I felt should have been done.

P.S To the Boarder who posted as Monika, I know who you are, but I'm not going to reveal just yet unless I'm given a very good reason to. My email is clickable if you want to contact me to help sort things out if there are things to sort out, and I will post on here in your stead if you wish to remain anonymous while this situation is sorted. Be aware however, that this does not mean that I will become a mouthpiece for you to carry, whatever this is on. So do not try it, or my patience.
Er, Storme, I also know who it is, and I can't see any indication that Scape or Nesh were commenting on the poster (who for the record is a Boarder in good standing, anyone who's concerned) rather than the character they were RPing. I also haven't seen any indication that the RP is going 'horribly wrong' - people are responding to them as the character, who is really disturbing, not as the PPCer, who made a thread tjat got responses.
Unless there's been some nasty talk in the chat, I think you're reading way too much into this.
hS
I think my problem is how I differentiate between Out of Character chat and In Character talk. Given this is a RP I'd expect people to be RPing as character, like Monika and so to be reply as said characters (Agent Rutherford for example), so I read that part of this thread as In Character. When people are talking using their normal Board handles in this thread (if it was a pre-organised RP thing like the Purim RP or something on the T-Board this would be different) I'm reading as if its Out of Character, ie whatever is being said out of character by Scape for example is being directed at the person behind Monika, not Monika themselves. Which, is where my comments and views stem from, because I'm talking Out of Character, to other people Out of Character.
I guess my point of view is a little different to everyone elses.
The OP is addressed to the PPC-as-literature-group as opposed to the PPC-as-multiversal-agency, and this post makes it clear that Monika-the-character is breaking the fourth wall to address the PPC Board directly. We've played this sort of game before, a la the mention of Deadpool in the same post. Also, there was that one time the Riddler showed up and ensnared a bunch of Boarders, and I got rescued by Green Lantern—that was good times. ^_^ The Boarders posting as themselves, including Scape, are definitely responding as intended here.

(Darn! This is what happens when I post on the Board, or as I just accidentally typed, the Bozard, and then proceed to be too busy with family stuff for the next few days!
Anyway, I started the RP as Monika because I'd had the idea to do so back when I thought my online friend Sigma64 was going to join the Board. He loves DDLC, and I had wanted to start the RP once he had joined. Even though he never joined the Board, I kept the idea and decided to do it over break, thinking I'd have the time to check the Board every day since I started the RP. Apparently I didn't!
I didn't take the psychiatrist comment personally, since I knew it was addressed to Monika and I totally agree with Nesh's assessment of her as a character. Heck, I said once that she's probably even a de-glorification of the yandere trope, from my perspective. It's all fine. You may carry on with your business.

To anyone who wants to see my proof of who 'Monika' is, also email me and I'll show it to you.
