WHO: Waver+open
WHERE: The network
WHEN: A couple days after the Zodiac post.
WHAT: Damage control on the wreckage of his life.
WARNINGS: None, any that come up will be in subject lines.

So now that I've started this year by exploding in grand fashion, let me try again with a slightly cooler head.

My title is Lord El-Melloi II. My real name is Waver Velvet. I prefer to be called 'Professor', as only my family and close associates use or even know me by that name. I've had my reasons for keeping it quiet, but most of them are largely irrelevant here.

I apologize if my reticence has made me a difficult individual to coexist with. It is not something that comes from a place of inherent distrust, least of all after half a year spent in this world.

[he's trying very hard to say he tolerates most of you]

And please stop concerning yourselves with my hypothetical romantic life.

[Hey at least someone here won't immediately dunk on you, Waver. He's not a baller, you see.]

I'm relieved to see you've had time to calm down.

[fionnuisce]

I'm fine. I've seen worse days than a bout of stress-based idiocy, and hopefully there won't be a repeat case for a while.

[hoshikiri]

Would that Kaisou were so merciful, but we must take what few moments of reprieve we can. I hope for your sake it will last a while.

[fionnuisce]

With my luck, not likely. It'll be alright, with a little caution.

[hopefully]

Speaking of my luck, I still owe you a drink after that Berserker incident. If you'd like, you're welcome to come over whenever you find the time.

professor velvet!

[fionnuisce]

JUST professor, please

that sounds so weird.

[escardos]

huh? what's so weird of it? names are very important, you know! they can shape your entire identity. ( •̀ ω •́ )✧

[fionnuisce]

It just feels wrong to have my name attached to that. I can't really explain it.

[fiddlestick]

I should probably apologize too. I really didn't mean for that to blow up the way it did...

[fionnuisce]

You don't have anything to apologize for. At this point, if I don't boil over like an unattended kettle at least once a semester there's probably something wrong with me.

[fiddlestick]

Not sure if having meltdowns once a semester is a sign of someone doing great either....but good to know?

[fionnuisce]

Please look at what I have to deal with and we can at least agree just once is a miracle.

[i mean, flat's just loose on the network, elliot.]

What on Earth did I miss while I was away?

[ OF ALL THE TIMES FOR HER TO POKE HER HEAD BACK OUT ]

[fionnuisce]

Oh, you know, the usual shitshow that results whenever everyone starts going at it on the average Zodiac post.

[nmc0204]

At least I can be sure that nobody got blown up or froze to death while I was away if this is what you're all choosing to argue about online.

[ of course, she could also be underestimating the general spirit of buffoonery at play here but waver probably has more restraint than that. probably. ]

[fionnuisce]

Not that I know of, just your garden variety disasters in text format. Almost normal, or as close as it gets around here.

[whatsamada]

Should I even ask what happened?

[fionnuisce]

Another month, another free for all mess on the network.

[whatsamada]

...Are you going to be okay?

It sounds like you're having as troublesome a start to the year as I am, Professor.

[fionnuisce]

Am I? Are you alright?

[cantgetanyworse]

I may have had a small, very public meltdown.

[It was not small.]

But it's fine!

[It's not.]
